Blue LED: level indication
LED on = level sensor activated
Red LED: BMS operation
– LED on = event defined by the BMS condition is in progress
– LED off = no BMS event in progress
Green LED: pump operation
– LED on = pump running
– LED off = pump off

NOTICE

__| If the enclosure has been opened, take care not to pinch or pull the cable when refitting the front panel.

10.3 LEARNING LOOPS
The management of the delay time in “Automatic” mode is not adjustable.
It is calculated using a learning loop that averages the last 5 switch-ons. An increasing delay time is the symptom of a drop in output flow and may therefore indicate a fault in the discharge installation (clogging, etc.).
