A means for disconnection of the F29 must be incorporated in the fixed

wiring in accordance with the wiring rules.

If a blackout or brownout occurs the F29 will not retain any memory of

where in its run or stop cycle it may have been, it will simply shut down

the pump. When power resumes, the F29 will reboot, restart the pump

and run any timer settings from the beginning. A manual reboot can be

done at any time by pressing and releasing the F29’s reset button.

The  F29  has  3  X  M20  cable  glands.  As  supplied,  the  cable  glands  are

blanked off with rubber plugs. To use the glands first remove one of the

rubber plugs and assemble the (supplied) cable gland bush and backing

washer into the cable port. The cable glands can accept cable from 7 to

9mm diameter. See sketch for assembling the cable gland components. 

 

The F29 is supplied with a set of steel crimp rings. The crimp rings are to 

provide strain relief for the controller’s cables. To use the crimps, place 

one on the cable approximately 3 to 4mm below the end of the cables outer

sheathing. Crimp the two ears of the ring flat using bull nosed pliers. Pull 

the cable back through the cable gland until the crimp ring’s ears are fully 

located into the slots in the cable gland housing. Always leave unused 

cable glands sealed off using the (supplied) rubber plugs. 

The  HD  terminal  must  be  left  unused  or  only  ever  linked  to  Relay  1

Normally  Open.  It  must  never  be  used  for  any  other  purpose  and  it

must  never  be  connected  to  any  external  device.  Under  no

circumstances connect the HD terminal to the terminals of Relay 2. The

HD  terminal  must  be  regarded  as  live  at  all  times  and  at  full  mains

potential.
