1. General Description Read this manual carefully before operation to prevent damage of the machine or personal injuries. SIFR(A) series intelligent flow regulator is designed to work with water heater, water chiller or cooling tower that can connect with multiple mould interfaces. Its functions of temperature, flowrate monitoring and control can adapt to different working conditions.
Coding Principle Notes: * SIFR(A)-400, the number of manifold loop is 4, and the loop is 4-in 4-out. SIFR(A)-800, the number of manifold loop is 8, and the loop is 8-in 8-out. Feature 1) Digital flow and temperature monitoring system can monitor the flowrate, temperature and pressure of each pipe in real time, which can display instant mould loop blockage to avoid the rejects.

Safety Regulations Strictly abide by the following safety regulations to prevent damage of the machine or personal injuries. 1.6.1 Safety Signs and Labels Danger! The unit is designed to endure high temp, and high pressure. For safe operation, do not remove the covers or switches. Attention! The unit should be operated by qualified personnel only.
The following statements clarify the responsibilities and regulations born by any buyer or user who purchases products and accessories from Shini (including employees and agents). Shini is exempted from liability for any costs, fees, claims and losses caused by reasons below: 1) Any careless or man-made installations, operation and maintenances upon machines without referring to the Manual prior to machine using.
2. Structural Features and Working Principle Working Principle Picture 2-1:Working Principle The circulating water enters the flow regulator through the water inlet; The circulating water enters the mould through the regulating valve 1; After circulating water enters the mould, it will enter the flow monitor through the regulator’s auto regulating valve, and measure the water flow and temperature data.
3. Installation and Debugging Attention 1) The maximum flow rate of the water inlet shall not be greater than the maximum throughput of the regulator (the maximum flow rate of each loop is 18L/min). 2) This regulator can only be used for water purification, not for other liquids or gases.
Picture 3-2:Main Pipeline Inlet / Outlet Connection Diagram Power Connection 1) Make sure the voltage and frequency of the power source comply with those indicated on the manufacturer nameplate that attached to the machine. 2) Power cable and earth connection should conform to your local regulations.
4. Operation Operation Procedure for HMI 1) Do not use keen-edged object instead of hands to operate the touch screen, and prevent violent collision of it. 2) In a dry environment, static electricity may accumulate on the touch screen. Use a metal wire to discharge it before operating. 3) Use alcohol or eleoptene to wipe off the pollutants on the screen.

Trouble-shooting Table 5-1:Trouble-shooting Symptom Possible causes Solution 1. Replace the power switch. After powering on, the touch 1.Main power switch broken 2. Check the power circuit and panel has no display. 2.Power circuit fault replace the fuse 1. Check the sensor circuit and 1.Sensor fault sensor.
Maintenance and Repair 1) When inspecting the machine, it is necessary to cut off the power supply, discharge the pressure and water first, and ensure the inspection and maintenance space before operation. 2) In order to prolong the service life of the system and safety accidents, it must carry out regular inspection.
Check the switch of the machine. Check all the electrical wires. 6.3.4 Weekly Checking Check loose electrical connections. Check the flow sensor Check whether the pipe connector is loose 6.3.5 Monthly Checking Check the sensitivity of the flow sensor Clean the flow sensor 6.3.6 Half-yearly Checking Check whether the pipe connector is loose Check whether the indicator is working properly.
