4.2.2 Manual Control of the Valve using “Manual Operation”
During checks, each valve should run for at least 5 seconds, as the monitoring the current consumption of
the valves takes some time before any faults are detected.
In automatic mode, first press then the arrow key until the following is displayed on the screen:
Manual operation
By pressing on the button again, you will receive the following message:
Aeration OFF
Pressing allows you to turn the selected programme on and o.
The other programs can be selected using the arrow keys .
Pressing once will take you back to the display “manual mode”.
4.2.3 Set Date/Time
Press and then the arrow keys until the following is displayed on the screen (example):
19-12-2007 Mon
20:15:56
By pressing , the time and date can then be set using the arrow keys .
To confirm the correction, you must press each time.
Pressing once will take you to the next display in holiday mode.
A correctly set system clock and date display is absolutely mandatory in order to record the hours of operation and so
that any faults can be traced. There is no automatic change from summer to winter time.
NOTE: If you do not press any buttons for a period of 10 minutes, normal operation will begin automatically.

4. Operation of the Control System
The operation of the system is carried out via a microprocessor in the control unit. The microprocessor
allows for the set-up of operating parameters, the display of operating conditions and the query of system
parameters as well as the programming of working times through a specialist company.
Adjustments are made by scrolling through numerical values using the two arrow keys . The set-
tings are then confirmed by pressing the button.
The individual dialogues can be terminated ahead of time by pressing or will be terminated automati-
cally after 2 minutes.
The control system is broken down into the following display pages:
4. Basic level: Status of the cycle sequence with the elapsing remaining time, as well as the display of
error messages.
5. Operator level: The operator can access the operator level by pressing the button and enter oper-
ator-specific settings.
6. Service level: A password-protected service level can be accessed from the operator level using an
additional code. This level is reserved for trained personnel. Here adjustments or changes can be
made and diagnostic data is retrieved.

4.1 Control Programme
The control system switches the outputs for air compressors and stepper motors on a timer.
The timing is determined by the set sequence tables. A complete cleaning cycle is started for each start
time in accordance with the selected sequence table.
By setting up holiday times in the operator level, the complete sequence of cleaning cycles can be sup-
pressed for the set period of time. Only one holiday cycle with greatly reduced activity takes place at this
time. During this time, no treated wastewater will be removed, as there should be no supply.

4.1.1 Display of Operating Status
The operating status is indicated by the LEDs (green = operational / red = fault) and as text on the screen.
In normal operating mode (aeration mode), the display appears as follows:
In automatic mode, the liquid crystal display shows the current work phase and the remaining time left in
this phase.
If a fault occurs, the red LED is turned on. A message indicating which component is faulty appears in the
liquid crystal display (e.g. Fault Compressor 0.0A).
4.1.2 The following work phases are displayed
Display
Process performed
Denitrification
Y3 valve (plug X1.1) is actuated intermittently; the activated sludge is briefly
mixed with the wastewater. This is followed by long pauses (response times).
Ventilation Y3 valve (plug X1.1) is actuated; the system is aerated in intervals over a long
period of time.
Sedimentation phase No valves are actuated, the activated sludge settles in the system.
Activity phase Y4 valve (plug X1.2) is actuated; the clear water is pumped into the drain.
Cycle pause/
holiday mode
Y3 valve (plug X1.1) is actuated; the system is aerated in intervals (considerably
less than in the aeration phase).
