elniko Basis User manual

elnikoBasis assembly and operating instruction
Initial operation
The subshell should be assembled on the wall or on the frame of the silo with delivered screws and dowels. Do not
crease the pressure sensor. The cables with Ø 0,3 mm² could be extended at any length. Please insert the batteries and
mind the polarity. Switch to the right the signal slide to “I”. The contained capacity of wood pellets is indicated by a every
ten seconds blinking LED. In addition a signal tone resound, which has to be switched of with the slide switch. After
refilling of the silo the slide switch has to be switched to „I“.
Designated application
elniko is a product, which measures the filling level of wood pellets in a silo. You can measure pellet bulk
material with the quality of DIN/ÖNORM ENplus A1 A2. The placement of the latest reserve (lowest sensor)
can be fixed according to your demands. The higher the sensor is appropriated, the sooner the signal
module will warn and the more pellets are inside the silo. We recommend to appropriate the sensor on that
filling level, where you have enough wood pellets for two or three weeks before an alarm is given. By
inserting the batteries, please mind the right polarity. It is not allowed to install the signal module inside the wood pellet
storage (silo, buried tank, etc.). Danger of explosion! The cabels of the sensors have to be fixed inside the silo with
enclosed adhesive tape or cable clamps. It is not allowed to operate elniko, when the housing of the signal module is
open, or components of the housing are missing. An operation in not allowed in damp areas, outdoor areas, in wet or high
humidity areas. Other application than described is not allowed, because the product could be damaged or can cause
other dangers like short circuit, fire, electric shock etc.. It is not allowed to change or to rebuild the whole appliance. The
safety instructions have to be followed. We assume no liability in case of failed heating system.

approval (CE) self contained rebuild or changes in the appliance is not permitted. Please consult an expert in
case of any doubts about the operation, safety or connection of the appliance.
Battery indicator: When the green blinking LED does not work anymore, the batteries have to be changed.
Please do not use rechargeable batteries! They donot have the necessary voltage.
Assembling of sensor for fabric silo/buried tank
elnikoBasis
For assembling of the sensor cable you have to open the fabric silo on the pipe clamp. Fix the sensor cable inside of the filling
nozzle with cable straps. In case of several filling pipes you have to make sure, that the sensor cable is not assembled into the
flight direction of pellets during filling.
At GEOplast fabric silo the nozzle for adaption of the sensor cable should be dismantled.
Close everything again please. You can fix the signal module at the structure of the silo.
The cable of the sensor could be easily adjusted. You have to move the cable of the sensor or hung it longer or shorter in the
silo.
Scope of delivery:
- 1 x sensor with 5 m cable
- 4 x AA batteries
- 1m adhesive tape
- 2 cable straps
- battery box
- dowels/screws
- assembly and operating instruction
Opening of the housing:
Press simultaneously with thumbs and forefingers of both
hands on the middle of the side parts of the housing and remove carefully the cover
forwards. Thereby pay attention to the cable connection.

The sensor shoul
d be assembled on this height, that there will be
enough time to order new wood pellets. The base plate of the
sensor has to be affixed directly on the cleaned and dust-
free
angular bottom of the silo. The base plate is self-adhesive -
just pull
off the pr
otective film. The cables, which are inside the silos should
not be laid parallel to the auger. They have to lay vertical on the
angular bottom. For fixing use the enclosed special adhesive tape
(look at picture). For leading out the cables of the silo the
re have to
be drilled a Ø 5 mm whole.
On silos made of metal (pe-la-modul-
system, identical with RAPIDO,
Windhagen, ESP) the assembling is as like as in the silo.
For leading out of the cable there have to be drilled a whole with Ø 6
mm. The whole has to
be deburred, otherwise the cable could
damage.

The cable of the sensor should not hang too deep.
Otherwise it could be aspirated into the solid auger!
Assembly instruction for an angular pellet silo
Agitator
-
agitator plus
(for pellet Big Bag look at the assembling of
fabric silo). The sensor should be fixed 40 cm above the bottom. For
leading of the cable please look at the safety instructions.
Attention!
The sensor should be assembled in the middle of the space and not
in edges!
Storages for wood pellets should be aired
before entering. Before Entering the heating
system has to be switched off. During working
inside the silos or reservoirs a second person
should be outside the silo, because of protection !!!
Assembling of signal module elnikoBasis
1.) assemble the subshell on the wall, than
2.) fix the cable on the connector
3.) use cable strap for cord grip
4.) put the batteries into the battery holder
5.) connect the pressure plug of the battery
6.) the pressure plug of the battery container shows downwards
7.) the open side of the battery container shows to the wall
8.) close the housing with pressure
9). After refilling of the silo the slide switch has to be switched
ON.
The cable could be extended Ø 0,3mm² at any length.
Maintaince and Cleaning:
The signal module is maintenance-free except of an occasional
cleaning. The
strenght of the sensor cable should be controlled from time to time. The device should be cleaned without
any chafing, chemical and dissolver cleaning supplies with a clean, lint-free, antistatic and dry cloth.
Period of guarantee is 12 months.
Disposal of used batteries: disposing into the household waste is prohibited! Toxic batteries are marked
