The SKN controller is designed to control the rocess in LM/VM distillation columns.
Functions of the controller make the column o eration much easier. Main features of the
controller:
- Two inde endent out uts 16A 230/400V.
- Cooling water electrovalve (NO relay out ut)
- LM electrovalve (max 12V 1,5A NO/NC)
- VM motorized valve (max 12V 40mA)
- Four thermometers with resolution of 0.01oC, including one of two sensors, which
could control the VM valve
- Gra hic dis lay with high contrast
1. INSTALLATION RECOMENDATIONS
It is recommended to install the actuator in the area of heaters, in an enclosure rotecting it
against accidental flooding (having in mind such cases like leaking water connections, etc.).
At the same time, the enclosure must rovide free air flow that is necessary for cooling the
SSR relay controlling the heaters. The late should be fixed to the enclosure with lastic
s acers rovided in the kit. Using metal s acers may lead to a short-circuit, damage of the
a liance or even electric shock of the user.
The control anel should be installed in a
convenient lace, having in mind there is
a slot for memory card at the to of the
anel – flooding the a liance from this
side for sure would cause the electronic to
be flooded. The anel is rovided with its
dedicated bracket. Put the anel on the
bracket and then ull it down.
- Remember, the a liance is su lied
with a dangerous voltage. Its electrical
connection should be entrusted to a
erson with suitable knowledge and
authorization. It is forbidden to use the
a liance when its enclosure or wiring
is damaged, also if there is only
sus icion of malfunction of the system.
- The a liance may activate its out ut
at any time without signaling this
event, even if does not result from its
o eration cycle. It is forbidden to make
any mani ulation on the electrical art
of the system when it is connected to
the mains. It a lies also to the low-
voltage elements.
- Do not turn the a liance ON when
the heaters are not covered with liquid
– in case of unex ected turning ON
they could be damaged. It should be
considered to install additional
(mechanical) heaters switch.
- The SKN controller has incor orated
electronic relay (SSR) controlling the
heaters, however it does not ensure
reliable, mechanical heaters
disconnection. Moreover, in case of its
failure (overloading, short-circuit, etc.),
most likely it will su ly the heaters
with full voltage.
- The su ly connection should be
easily accessible. It must ensure quick
and trouble-free disconnection of the
system form the mains at any time.
- The wires and connectors used should
be suitable for the a liance ower. It
is recommended to install a ro riate
terminal box with a ro riate breakers
and differential rotection.
