depress 

POTW

 button and hold it for 3 seconds to confirm selection. All LED indicators go in for a

while to confirm the settings. If the selection is not confirmed within 5 seconds the attempt the
change settings is cancelled and the module moves to regular operation.

Troubleshooting

The EcoAlpa5 Control Unit offers basic self-test functions that enable:

monitoring of communication lines and detection of line breaks,
monitoring of voltages and content of internal memories, 
operability tests of rechargeable batteries, 
checks whether a  shutoff valve with the 12 V control voltage and/or an additional ZMZ module

are correctly connected,
• failure (break) of the control line for transmission of shut off signals, 
• failure (break) of the line for connection of an additional ZMZ module.

8.5.1

Test of the user interface

The test is initiated by short depression of the 

TEST

 button, which triggers activation of all indicating LEDs of

the device for about 1 second and horning of the internal buzzer (the same test is also launched after each

power up of the device). 
In case when any irregularity of the device operation is spotted please contact the device manufacturer.

8.5.2

Test of the shutoff valve

The control unit offers also the functionality to test the gas shutoff valve. 
The need to run the test is indicated by slow blinking of the TEST indicator and is reminded after each three
months from execution of a previous test. 
The test is initiated by an operator from the level of the control unit. Prior to execution of the test please

make sure that a short-term interruption in supply of gas is safe and harmless at the moment (observe the
procedures effective for the entire system). To run the test please follow the following procedure:

depress the 

TEST

 button and hold is depressed for about five seconds, the TEST indicator light up

and remain continuously on, 
check whether the valve is reliably closed, 
open the valve. 

If any irregularity of the shutoff valve actuation to close the supply line is spotted please contact the device
manufacturer of a service company. 

Initiation of the shutoff valve test is infeasible when the control unit indicates failure of the

valve itself (see Table 6) or its battery (see Table 7).
