5 Operation
In this section the very basic operation of OEM, EasyConnect and Stand-Alone models is explained. For
more extended operation modes and configurations consult the relevant Firmware and Service Software
specifications.
5.1 Operation of Stand-Alone Model
5.1.1 Manual Operation
With the Stand-Alone model the system can be operated manually with the user panel according to Figure
28. The flow can be set manually with the Down and Up buttons before or after enabling it with the On/Off
button. The Setpoint Flow (= Ref. Flow) is than stored in the system EEPROM and will stay the same, even if
the system is powered off. When disabling the system by shortly pressing the On/Off button the Actual Flow
is first reduced to zero before an impeller touch down is made by disabling the radial levitation. After an Error
the system can be restarted by the On/Off button or by removing and reattaching the power supply.
