Problem
.Possible.cause
Solution
1. The filter
does not start
although the
water level
inside the drum
has reached
the level
sensor.
A. The water has a low conductivity.
A. Increase the sensitivity
by setting the level relay
switch towards MAX. If
this does not help, change
the sensitivity range to a
more sensitive setting (see
5.2.2
).
B. The sensor is not correctly grounded.
For detection, the sensor bottom
end must be in contact with the filter
frame. A wire from the level relay is
connected to the filter frame.
B. Check that all wires are
undamaged and that the
screw fitted to the filter
frame is secured.
C. The level relay is defective. The red
diode lamp on the level relay (see
9
in
Figure 5-1
) should be lit as long as
the water is in contact with the sensor.
The green diode lamp should always
be lit (when there is power to the
relay).
C. Replace the defective level
relay.
D. The UP/DOWN switch is in the UP
position.
D. Set the UP/DOWN switch
to the DOWN position.
2. The filter does
not stop after
the time set on
the time relay.
A. There is permanent contact between
the level sensor and the filter tank
A. Remove any object that
could connect the sensor
to the filter tank, e.g.
biological growth.
B. The level relay is too sensitive.
B. Decrease the sensitivity
by setting the level relay
switch towards MIN. If this
does not help, change
the sensitivity range to a
less sensitive setting (see
5.2.2
).
C. The time relay is defective. When the
red diode lamp on the level relay is lit,
the red diode lamp on the time relay
(see
8
in
Figure 5-1
) should be lit as
long as the water is in contact with
the level sensor, plus the time set on
the time relay. The green diode lamp
on the time relay should always be lit
(when there is power to the relay).
C. Replace the defective time
relay.
D. The level relay is defective. The red
diode lamp does not go out when the
water level drops below the sensor.
D. Replace the defective level
relay.
