1. Description
The control is a processor-controlled 24 VDC reversing contactor with soft-start and soft-
stop function for drives of the Aqua-I G series. The detection of the travel way is done by
sensors. The end positions are programmed, the system does not require mechanical limit
switches. The programming of the end positions is carried out by the buttons on the board
or optionally by means of a remote programming unit, which can be connected on the
board. Further function settings can be made in a user-friendly way by means of a rotary
button (S4).
The programming is protected against power failure. Additionally, the sensors are constantly
monitored and the drive is protected against overload. For extra position report, potential-
free contacts are provided .

3. nstallation information
oWhen connecting, the relevant standards and regulations must be observed, in particular
the VDE regulations, the local EVU regulations and the accident prevention regulations.
oBefore starting the installation work and with regard to subsequent work, switch the
control to zero potential.
oSeparate cable routing is a general principle. The sensor cable in particular must be
routed separately and in a shielded cable. (Exception "Blue cable" - Integrated motor and
sensor cable with shielding)
oOnly one drive must be connected to the control. Voltage pick-off for on-site periphery
such as light is not permitted.
NOTE
Ensure correct direction of rotation!
The rotation direction must correspond to the buttons O EN and CLOSE. If not:
-Interchange drive phases
-Interchange sensor channel A and B
WARN NG!
Danger from electric current!
When connecting the control, there is the danger of an electric shock.
-Before connecting the control, it must be switched to zero
potential.
-Before accessing the connecting terminals, all poles of the control
must be disconnected from the supply circuit.
WARN NG!
Danger due to improper use!
Unauthorized opening and improper intervention may lead to bodily
injuries or damage to property.
Allow only trained or qualified personnel (e.g. electrically skilled person)
to work on the system.
NOTE
In order to avoid severe bodily injuries or substantial damage to property, only
qualified persons, who are familiar with the electrical drive equipment, are
allowed to work on the control. Qualified persons are persons, who are familiar
with set-up, installation, commissioning and operation of electrical systems and
have the necessary qualifications according to their activities. They must be able
to evaluate the work assigned to them, recognize potential sources of danger and
take suitable safety precautions.

4. Functionality
Rotary button and display – functionality
System states and inputs are displayed on to the LEDs H1 to H10. On the two-digit segment
display H20 in the right part of the board, the parameters and error messages are displayed.
Numerical values with more than two digits are displayed by alternating flashing of the
hundreds digit and the tens digit or the ones digit. For example, if H20 alternates between
1 and 00, this corresponds to the display of the value 100.
The rotary button S4 has two functions. By vertically pressing on the tip of the rotary button,
inputs can be confirmed and the programming mode can be called up (see below).
By turning the rotary button clockwise or counter-clockwise, menu items and options (e.g.
drive type, operating mode, etc.) can be "browsed" in the programming mode and numeric
parameters (e.g. drive speed, acceleration duration, etc.) can be increased or reduced.
Programming and parameterisation
1. Switch on the programming mode: Keep the rotary button S4 pressed for three seconds.
2. Select the main menu: By rotating the rotary button S4, set the respective numerical
code of the desired menu and confirm the selection by pressing the button.
(For this, see 10. List of the menu functions!)
3. Setting of functions: By rotating the rotary button S4, set the numerical code of the
desired option or set the desired numerical value and confirm by pressing the button.
The display returns to the main menu.
4. Exit programming mode: By rotating the rotary button S4, set the numerical code 00 and
confirm by pressing the button. The display returns to the visualization of the current
operating status. If the numerical code 00 is selected in programming mode, the
programming mode exits itself automatically after 15 seconds without further input.
All main menus and submenus and their associated numerical codes are listed in chapter
10"List of the menu functions". Setting the numerical code and subsequently pressing the
button will take you to the submenus and back.
5. Drive selection
Before use, the control must be configured with regard to the connected drive type using
the menu function 01.

6. Setting of the end positions
Setting and programming of the end positions is done via the installed buttons or the
optionally available remote programming unit.
1. Delete all storages and initiate programming mode:
ress the button ROG and keep it pressed. In addition, press then the O EN and
CLOSE button simultaneously. Keep the 3 buttons pressed for approx. 3 seconds, until
all the LEDs positioned above the buttons are illuminated (H1–H3).
2. LED display in the programming mode: (no position is programmed)
H1 is illuminated = O EN position is not yet programmed
H2 is illuminated = rogramming is initiated
H3 is illuminated = CLOSE position is not yet programmed
3. Storage of positions:
The travel button operated first after activating the programming mode determines
the order of the end position programming. If it is travelled in O EN direction first, the
O EN end position must be programmed first, and afterwards the CLOSE position. If it
is travelled in CLOSE direction first, the CLOSE end position must be stored first, and
afterwards the O EN end position. If a travel button has already been operated after
activating the programming mode, but the other end position shall be stored first, the
programming mode can be reset by pressing again all three buttons for 3 seconds. The
order of storage is now selected again by travelling towards the desired first end
position.
When programming the first position, the associated LED goes out for confirmation.
After having programmed the second and last position, the control switches
automatically to normal mode (H2 off). The associated LED H1 or H3 is illuminated as
position report (see Normal mode / LED displays).
“O EN” osition:
a) Using the O EN button, travel to the desired O EN position.
b) Subsequently, press the ROG button and keep it pressed.
c) ress the O EN button to store the position O EN. Release both buttons.
“CLOSE” osition:
a) Using the CLOSE button, travel to the desired CLOSE position.
b) Subsequently, press the ROG button and keep it pressed.
c) ress the CLOSE button to store the position CLOSE. Release both buttons.

7
Fine-tuning of the positions
A position already programmed can be corrected. (Examp e: OPEN position)
a) Travel the system to O EN position.
b) ress the ROG button and keep it pressed.
c) Additionally, press the O EN button briefly (approx. 1 sec.). H2 is illuminated,
programming mode is initiated. Release all buttons.
d) Travel to the new O EN position.
e) Subsequently, press the ROG button and keep it pressed.
f) ress the O EN button in order to store the position O EN. H1 is switched on and the
O EN position is changed. Release both buttons.
g) After approx. 3 seconds, H2 goes out and the programming change is complete.
7. Operating mode
By Menu 04, the control must be set to the desired travel mode ‚ 'Dead man' or automatic.
In dead man`s mode, the system operates only as long as the command device is operated.
In automatic mode, the system operates, after command initiation, automatically until the
end positions are reached and can only be stopped by a stop command.
For each travel direction, the selection dead man/ automatic can be set separately. The
setting is also transferred to the TI function for radio operation on the terminals X3-4 and
X3-2.
8. Speed setting
The control is equipped with soft-start and soft-stop function. Thereby, the system reduces
the operating speed via a settable time (ramp), shortly before reaching the end position.
Analogously, acceleration takes places after command initiation. The respective parameters
can be set via menu 11 to 23.
9. Normal mode
After programming has been completed, the drive travels in the desired direction by tapping
the O EN and CLOSE button. The drive can be stopped by tapping one of the buttons one of
the two buttons again.
By operation of a command device at the input terminals X3-4 and X3-2, a sequential circuit
O EN-STO -CLOSE-STO -O EN-… is performed.

The LEDs H1 and H3 show the status of the cover.
When operating the cover, the control executes the following operation sequences:
OPEN-travel from CLOSE position:
- CLOSE position: H3 on (Cover in CLOSE position)
- Command initiation O EN command
- Cover moves in O EN
- After the end of the travel in O EN position, H1 is on (Cover in O EN position)
CLOSE travel from OPEN position
- O EN position: H1 on (Cover in O EN position)
- Command initiation CLOSE command
- Cover moves in CLOSE
- After the end of the travel in CLOSE position, H3 is on (Cover in CLOSE position)

11. Error and information
In the event of a fault, the display outputs information on the present error. Any fault leads
to an immediate stop (exception: Error no. 41). The following list shows the possible error
messages:
Error number Error message Remedial action
11 Safety circuit is interrupted Check the connections on the terminals SK
and determine the cause.
21 Short-circuit in the motor
circuit
Check the motor connections for short-
circuits and the cables for damage.
22 Sensor error Check the sensor connection.
Replace the sensor, if necessary. See also
chapter 16 : sensor monitoring.
23 Excess voltage Drive feeds too much energy back into the
control. Install a chopper resistor.
24 Motor overload Drive is blocked. Check the unobstructed
movement of the system. In case of a freely
moving system, maybe an insufficiently
dimensioned drive.
25 Motor too fast Install a chopper resistor; if necessary, check
the drive type for suitability.
26 Error with regard to
direction of rotation
Interchange the motor cables or the sensor
cables A+B
27 Temperature of the heat
sink is too high
Reduce the mechanical loading, check the
motor supply cable.
Check whether the motor is defective
28 Overload / speed too low Drive is blocked. Check the unobstructed
movement of the system. In case of a freely
moving system, maybe an insufficiently
dimensioned drive.
29 Excess current Drive is blocked. Check the unobstructed
movement of the system. In case of a freely
moving system, maybe an insufficiently
dimensioned drive.

12
Error number Error message Remedial action
33 Runtime error Set the permissible running time (menu 33);
determine the cause for a longer running
time e.g. overload (reducing the speed) or
defect in the power transmission
41 Excess voltage / warning Install a chopper resistor; if necessary,
check the drive type for suitability. The
control does not switch off the drive.
12. Protective functions
Overload protection:
When exceeding the permissible motor voltage by feeding back of the drive with regard to
pulling loads, the control reduces the speed permanently, until the voltage is once again
within the permissible range. (Note: When falling below the minimum speed, error 24 may
occur). By using a chopper resistor, such behaviour may be eliminated.
When reaching motor voltages which may cause damage to the control, travelling is stopped
(Error 23). By error 41, an advance warning is displayed.
Excess current:
In order to protect the control, a current monitor is integrated additionally. When exceeding
the current limit value provided for the set drive, the control reduces the speed of the drive.
In doing so, the impermissible current consumption is reduced (if necessary) and the system
is still operational. However, in case of continuing excess current (>10 sec), the control
switches off (Error 29).
Speed monitoring:
The drive speed of the set drive is monitored. When falling below or exceeding the speed,
the drive is switched off. The fault is displayed by the error message 24, 25 or 28.
13. Chopper resistor
Drives with low self-locking (such as e.g. tubular motors) can increase their drive speed when
operating with pulling loads. For example, this can occur if the cover is installed underwater.
Due to the increased speed, electrical power can be fed back into the control which may
cause damage to the control. The speed and the feed-back process are monitored and, if
necessary, output with an error message. By connecting a chopper resistor (27-47 Ohm,
50W, cooled) to the two contact points X7, the power fed back can be converted into heat.

13
14. Sensor monitoring / emergency mode function
The sensor signals are constantly evaluated and monitored for correct functioning. The LEDs
H9 and H10 indicate whether the sensors operate. In proper condition, the two LEDs light up
alternately (high frequenting). Note: Depending on the position of the transmitter, one of
the LEDs may light up when the motor is switched off. If the sensors send out faulty or no
signals, the drive is switched off and an error message is output.
In case of only one defective sensor, the system can be reset to operate with one sensor by
menu 05. The functional sensor is connected to terminal A.
In doing so, the system is still operational until there is a suitable point in time for repair.
NOTE
End positions must be set again!
NOTE
In case of two defective sensors, emergency mode is possible via menu 41.
This function may cause damage to the system.
Only under supervision, the system must be travelled into a safe state.
Subsequently, the system must be repaired.
After having used the emergency mode, reprogramming of the end positions is
necessary.
15. Accessories
A remote programming unit is available as an accessory. This allows setting the end positions
from a more favourable position. In order to use the remote programming unit, the cable of
it is put on the board in the intended slot. The setting buttons O EN- ROG-CLOSE can be
found on the remote programming unit as well. During programming, only dead man travel
is possible. Then, the system runs as long as the travel button is pressed. After having
completed programming, the system runs according to the configuration. Stopping travelling
is then possible by another command initiation using the button Open or Close (sequential
circuit).
Another accessory available is a radio remote control set which can be put on the position
R1. By operation of the O EN and CLOSE button on the radio remote control, a travel in
O EN or CLOSE is triggered. When a drive is moving continually, travelling is stopped by
pressing a button.
