Startup
The SHT 217 water detector just has to be plugged into the socket (230 V
AC / 50-60 Hz). Connect the power plug of the pump to the earthed socket
of the SHT 217. The locking of the power plug helps to avoid unintended
removal of the device plug. The LED (Function) lights up green and signals
that the device is ready for use.
The follow-up time of the pump can be adjusted steplessly to a value bet-
ween 0 and 100 seconds using the thumb wheel on the back of the device
(figure 2).
After triggering the alarm, the set follow-up time only becomes
active once the water level has fallen beneath the level of the
water sensor during pumping down.
When setting the follow-up time please note that the pump doesn't idle
after pumping down the water. This can cause damage to the pump.
Alarm
As soon as the sensor has contact with water, an acoustic and an optic
alarm signal sounds. The LED lights up red. The LED illuminates in red in
the process and at the same time the pump connected is activated. If the
water level falls beneath the level of the water sensor the LED flashes in
red and the set follow-up time of the pump is activated. Once the follow-up
time elapsed the pump is deactivated and the LED illuminates in green.
Function test
Functional test of the device: You can test the function of the system by
filling the sump shaft with water.
For your safety, we recommend that you carry out this test
constantly!
