• How to read the chart:
  To find the resistance corresponding to a temperature of 164°C

  • Find the intersection of the line 160°C and the column 4°C.
  • The reading shows 162.53 Ohms.

• Check
  Check sensor resistance with an ohmmeter set to 200 ohms (less than 107 ohms for 20°).
  Check the sensor insulation between one of the leads and the metal part with the ohmmeter set at 20 mega ohms (a value over 15 mega ohms).
  Check the continuity between the feed and the metal part of the sensor.

ADJUSTMENT TANK / LID

LEVELLING THE TANK / CHASSIS

Before doing anything to the tank check that the chassis is level.

• ➔ If it isn’t:

  • Undertake the levelling following the procedures found in the installation manual (section: ‘Locating’) depending on the type of unit installed
    If there is still a problem after the chassis has been levelled follow the procedure for ‘Adjusting the tank’ that follows:

• ➔ If the chassis is level: (as per the advice in the installation manual)

  • Follow the procedure for ‘Adjusting the tank’ that follows:

• Adjusting the tank:

  • Open the cover
  • Remove the tanks front panels and the facia of the right hand arm
  • Release the tank:
  • Slacken (without removing) the 2 bolts on the ram connecting it to the adjustment arm
  • Slacken the lock nut on the adjustment screw and undo it a few turns
  • Slacken (without removing) the four screws holding the tank to its axis (at each end):

• In the following order:

  • Tank lowered: the lower front screw
  • Tank tilted: the 2 upper screws (front and rear) and the lower rear screw

• 

• Levelling the tank within the chassis :
  Tilt the tank into its lowered position and check the alignment within the chassis:
  Rear alignment: Place a spirit level on the rear of the tank

  • ➔ If it is not in alignment:Measure the gap between the tank and the chassis
  • Tilt the tank, slacken the lock nuts (one each side) and adjust by tightening /slackening the tank stop screw. (1 turn = 1.5 mm in height)
  • Continue with this procedure until the tank alignment is correct. Do not forget to retighten the lock nuts afterwards.

• Front alignment: Place a spirit level over the tank axis
  ➔ If it isn’t aligned:

  • Measure the gap between the tank and the chassis
    Tilt the tank, slacken the lock nuts (one each side) and adjust by tightening /slackening the tank stop screw.
    (1 turn = 1.25 mm in height)
    Continue with this procedure until the tank alignment is correct

Once the tank in aligned (distance between the tank and the chassis less than 1mm):

• Move on to the following:
• Clamp the tank in place:
• Tighten the four screws holding the tank to its axis (at each end):
• Tighten the ram adjustment screw and its lock nut
• Tighten the 2 screws on the ram adjustment arm

ADJUSTING THE LIDS COUNTERBALANCE

This adjustment allows you to increase or reduce the effort required to open or close the lid.

• Open the lid
• Remove the two covers protection the lid articulation
• Remove the facia from the left hand arm
•  Ensure the bearings on each side of the lid are tight:
• Check and tighten the two screws to a torque of 10N.m
• Adjust the spring tension by tightening (tensions the spring) or slackening (releases the spring) the threaded adjustment rod: Adjustment is correct when:
• the cover remains open when it is at 40cm above the tank and closes properly onto the tank (lid seal resting on the front of the tank)

Note: be careful not to overtighten the springs, which would result in a complete cover closure at the front.
Attention: Do not adjust the tension unless the lid is fully open.
