ENGLISH
SHT 217
STARTUP
The SHT 217 water detector just has to be plugged into the socket (230 V AC / 50-60 Hz).
Connect the power plug of the pump to the earthed socket of the SHT 217. The locking of the
power plug helps to avoid unintended removal of the device plug. The LED (Function) lights
up
green
and signals that the device is ready for use.
The follow-up time of the pump can be adjusted steplessly to a value between 0 and 100
seconds using the thumb wheel on the back of the device (figure 2).
After triggering the alarm, the set follow-up time only becomes active once
the water level has fallen beneath the level of the water sensor during pum-
ping down.
ALARM
As soon as the sensor has contact with water, an acoustic and an optic alarm signal sounds.
The LED lights up
red
. The LED illuminates in red in the process and at the same time the
pump connected is activated. If the water level falls beneath the level of the water sensor the
LED flashes in red and the set follow-up time of the pump is activated. Once the follow-up
time elapsed the pump is deactivated and the LED illuminates in green.
FUNCTION TEST
Functional test of the device: You can test the function of the system by filling the sump shaft
with water.
For your safety, we recommend that you carry out this test constantly!
When setting the follow-up time please note that the pump doesn’t idle after
pumping down the water. This can cause damage to the pump.
