3.1 Maintenance interval

Maintenance-Interval:

Adjust operating hours

Set: 4000 h 0m 0s

Actual: 22 h 12 m 46 s

The factory setting for "Set" is a maintenance interval of 4000 hours as specified
in the separator instruction manual. Under "Actual", the operating hours of the
separator are counted.
When the pre-set number of operating hours is reached, a common alarm is ac-
tivated and a corresponding warning appears in the display. A common alarm
does not interrupt the separating program and must be acknowledged using the
ACK key.

Note:
Please take the maintenance interval setting from the instruction manual of the
separator used.

3.2 Maintenance interval WMS-Sensor

Maintenance-Interval WMS

Adjust operating hours

Set: 168 h 0m 0s

Actual: 22 h 12 m 46 s

Last water signal WMS:

211 h 48 m 21 s

The factory setting for "Set" is a maintenance interval of 168 hours (1 week).
Under "Actual", the operating hours of the WMS-Sensor water signal is counted.
In the case the “Actual” counter came up to the preset operating hours, a main-
tenance message will be activated with a corresponding hint that the WMS-
Sensor Check must be done! The message does not interrupt the separation
process and must be acknowledged with the „ACK“button after the WMS Sen-
sor Check. The acknowledgement resets the the “Actual” value.
Under “Last water signal WMS” the operating hours of the WMS Sensor since
the last water indication are counted. Only a water signal resets the operating
hours for “Last water signal WMS”.
