Quick Security Technology (QST)
Smart ATO Lifter uses QST for real-time protection against any failure
situation. The controller will give a visual and audible alert when it
senses any other relling time is 6 times longer than the rst lling
time. QST can detect the malfunction of the sensor or the pump, *
and the empty reservoir to avoid the pump running dry. For
example, if the rst lling time is 10 sec., it will alert when any other
relling time is over 60 sec.
*No security time control for the rst lling.
