2. Informazzjoni dwar is-Sigurtà

Jekk jogħġbok aqra l-istruzzjonijiet kollha tas-sigurtà bir-reqqa qabel l-installazzjoni u t-tħaddim. Jekk ma ssegwix dawn l-istruzzjonijiet, dan jista' jirriżulta f'xokk elettriku, nar, jew korriment serju.

• Periklu Elettriku: Kun żgur li l-provvista tal-enerġija hija skonnettjata qabel ma twettaq kwalunkwe installazzjoni, manutenzjoni, jew issolvi l-problemi.
• Voltage Kompatibilità: Ivverifika li l-provvista tal-enerġija voltage matches the controller's specifications (220V/110V AC).
• L-ert kif suppost: Dejjem qabbad l-apparat ma' sokit ertjat kif suppost.
• Espożizzjoni għall-Ilma: Do not immerse the controller unit in water. The controller unit is designed to be mounted above the water level.
• Persunal kwalifikat: Installation and electrical connections should be performed by qualified personnel if you are unsure.
• Kundizzjonijiet Ambjentali: Do not operate the device in explosive atmospheres or where flammable liquids or gases are present.

3. Karatteristiċi tal-prodott

The Ortis KJ-033 controller offers several features for reliable water level management:

• Dual Stainless Steel Sensors: Anti-corrosion sensors for accurate water level detection.
• Adjustable Sensor Range: Sensors can be adjusted from 1/2 inch to 20 inches to define high and low water levels.
• Modi Operattivi Multipli: Supports Drain Mode (for emptying) and Water Mode (for filling).
• Indikaturi LED: Visual feedback for power, load status, and alarm conditions.
• Protezzjoni ta' tagħbija żejda: Integrated protection for connected pumps.
• Funzjoni Mute: Allows silencing of the alarm.
• Applikazzjoni wiesgħa: Suitable for sewage pits, fish tanks, water tanks, and other water management systems.

4. Setup u Installazzjoni

Proper installation is crucial for the reliable operation of the controller.

4.1 Immuntar tal-Kontrollur

The controller unit should be mounted in a dry location, above the maximum water level, and within reach of a grounded power outlet.

• Immuntar bil-kamin: Use appropriate screws and anchors to secure the controller to a wall or stable surface through the mounting tabs.
• Immuntar tat-tazza tal-ġbid: For temporary or non-permanent installations, a suction cup can be used to attach the controller to a smooth, clean surface.

Figura 4.1: Controller Installation Methods.

4.2 Sensor Installation and Adjustment

The dual sensors detect the high and low water levels. Their position determines the operating range of your pump.

• Tqegħid tas-Sensor: Position the sensors vertically in the water, ensuring they are securely fastened and will not move. The lower sensor defines the 'low' water level, and the upper sensor defines the 'high' water level.
• Medda aġġustabbli: The sensors can be adjusted along their cables to set the desired water level range, from 1/2 inch to 20 inches apart. Ensure both sensors are submerged at the desired 'on' level and the lower sensor is exposed at the desired 'off' level for drain mode, or vice versa for water mode.
• Ġestjoni tal-Kejbil: Route sensor cables to prevent entanglement or damage.

4.3 Konnessjoni Elettrika

• Ipplaggja l-Enerġija: Plug the controller's power cord into a grounded 220V or 110V AC outlet.
• Konnessjoni tal-Pompa: Plug your sump pump or other load device into the outlet on the front of the controller. Ensure the pump's power requirements do not exceed the controller's output capacity (15A, up to 2HP).

5. Istruzzjonijiet Operattivi

The controller features a simple interface for selecting operating modes and managing alarms.

Figura 5.1: Control Panel Matulview.

5.1 Għażla tal-Modalità

Use the 'Drain' and 'Water' buttons to select the desired operating mode:

• Modalità Ixxotta: (LED indicator 'Drain' illuminates) In this mode, the controller activates the pump when the water level reaches the upper (high) sensor and deactivates it when the water level drops below the lower (low) sensor. This mode is typically used for emptying sewage pits or sumps.
• Modalità Ilma: (LED indicator 'Water' illuminates) In this mode, the controller activates the pump when the water level drops below the lower (low) sensor and deactivates it when the water level reaches the upper (high) sensor. This mode is typically used for replenishing water in fish tanks or water tanks.

5.2 Power and Operation Switch

The main switch controls the power and operational state of the connected load:

• AUTO: (LED indicator 'AUTO' illuminates) The controller operates automatically based on the selected mode (Drain or Water) and sensor readings.
• MITFI: (LED indicator 'OFF' illuminates) The connected pump is turned off, regardless of water levels.
• FUQ: (LED indicator 'ON' illuminates) The connected pump is continuously turned on, regardless of water levels. Use this for manual override or continuous operation.

5.3 Funzjoni Mute

Press the 'Mute' button to silence any active alarms. The 'DisAlarm' LED will illuminate when the alarm is muted.

6. Manutenzjoni

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your Ortis controller.

• Tindif tas-Sensor: Periodically inspect and clean the stainless steel sensors to remove any buildup of debris, algae, or mineral deposits that could affect their accuracy. Disconnect power before cleaning.
• Spezzjoni tal-Cable: Check all cables and connections for signs of wear, damage, or corrosion. Replace any damaged components immediately.
• Controller Unit: Keep the controller unit clean and dry. Avoid exposing it to direct sunlight or extreme temperatures.
• Operazzjoni tat-Test: Periodically test the controller's operation by manually raising or lowering water levels to ensure the pump activates and deactivates as expected in the selected mode.
