1 Elektronikon™ Swipe controller

1.1 Controller

The Elektronikon™ Swipe controller

Introduction
The controller has following functions:
• Controlling the unit
• Protecting the unit
• Monitoring components subject to service
• Automatic restart after voltage failure (ARAVF)

Automatic control of the unit

The controller maintains the net pressure between programmable limits by automatically loading
and unloading the unit.
A number of programmable settings, e.g. the unloading and loading pressures, the minimum stop
time and the maximum number of motor starts are taken into account.
The controller stops the unit whenever possible to reduce the power consumption and restarts it
automatically when the net pressure decreases. If the expected unloading period is too short, the
unit is kept running to prevent too short standstill periods.

A number of time based automatic start/stop commands may be programmed. Take into
account that a start command will be executed (if programmed and activated), even after
manually stopping the unit.

 Instruction book

Protecting the unit

Shutdown
If the element outlet temperature exceeds the programmed shutdown level, the unit will be
stopped.
The unit will also be stopped in case of overload of the drive motor or fan motor.

Before remedying, consult the Safety precautions.

Before resetting a warning or shutdown message, always solve the problem. Frequently
resetting these messages without remedying may damage the unit.

Shutdown warning
A shutdown warning level is a programmable level below the shutdown level.
If one of the measurements exceeds the programmed shutdown warning level, a message will
appear on the display and the general alarm LED will light up to warn the operator before the
shutdown level is reached.
The message disappears as soon as the warning condition disappears or after a manual warning
reset on the display.
A warning will also appear if the dew point temperature is too high in relation to the ambient
temperature (on units with integrated dryer).

Service warning
The service timer has a programmed time interval. If the service timer exceeds the programmed
value, this will be indicated on the display to warn the operator to carry out the service actions.

Automatic restart after voltage failure (ARAVF)

The controller has a built-in function to automatically restart the unit when the voltage is restored
after voltage failure. For units leaving the factory, this function is made inactive.
To activate this function, you have to change the Access level to ‘Service user’. This profile is
password protected. See Controller settings menu.
Consult your supplier.

If the function is activated and provided the controller was in the automatic operation
mode, the unit will automatically restart if the supply voltage to the module is restored.
The ARAVF label (see section Pictographs) shall be glued near to the controller.
