the required pressure of the system when cold.

the system pressure at which the low pressure alarm relay will operate, 

typically set 0.6 - 0.7 bar below the cold fill pressure.

the system pressure at which the high pressure alarm relay will operate, 

typically set 0.2 - 0.3 bar below the system safety valve setting.

provides information on water usage in the system based on the amount of 

water the unit has put into the system and how long it has been operating (this 

is for information only and thus no setting is required).

to reset the usage, both the 

 and 

 buttons can be held together 

for 3 seconds.

affects the flood protection facilities of the unit, if the Mikrofill 3 does not 

register a pressure increase in the system whilst filling for the period set here 

then it will assume that there must be a leak in the system and alarm, the 

longer the Lvl 1 Leak Alert setting (which is calculated in minutes) the less 

responsive the flood protection.

set at 0.00 to disable Lvl 1 Leak Alert protection.

refers to the amount of time in seconds that the unit will continue to fill the 

system once the cold fill pressure has been reached, to prevent overshoot or 

undershoot of the fill pressure - increasing the time prevents undershoot and 

decreasing it prevents overshoot.

warns of frequent filling, which would indicate a system leak, by showing a 

warning message if in any 24-hour period the unit operates in excess of this 

value.

refers to the amount of time in seconds that the unit will wait before it begins 

operation once the system pressure has dropped to its cut in point, increasing 

the setting will reduce the units sensitivity to temporary drops in system 

pressure.

alters the time and date displayed on the unit.

enables or disables the audible alarm when the unit goes to fault.

provides information of the last five registered faults (described in further detail 

on 

pages 13

 and 

14

), displayed as two letter codes which refer to the 

following:

• 

MP

  - Low Mains Water Pressure when filling.

• 

FS

 

- Low System Water Pressure (if Leak Alert is 

enabled

).

• 

LP

 

- Low System Water Pressure (if Leak Alert is 

disabled

).

• 

HP

  - High System Water Pressure.

• 

DR

  - Leak Alert due to no increase in pressure whilst filling.

• 

FR

 

- Frequent Run / Use.

enables or disables flood protection for the unit, it is highly recommended that 

this setting is enabled.
