Operation of the panel (AUTO mode)
Start/Stop signals
In automatic mode, the DEMIO control panel starts running when a start signal is received
and stops running (or executes the STOP DELAY) when a stop signal is received or when
the RUN TIME is reached. There are 3 possible start signals and 3 possible stop signals. No
matter which START and STOP signals are used they all have the same effect.
Start signals:
Start key (Front of panel, see Figure 1).
Start signal (Two wire START/STOP signal): A start signal is received when this
input is activated (ON). If this input is deactivated (OFF), it is not considered as a
Stop signal. This signal is usually used with the Stop signal and/or a run time.
Control signal (One wire START/STOP signal): A start signal is received when
this input transitions to ON. When this input is transitioned from ON to OFF, a
stop signal is received.
Stop signals:
Stop key (Front of panel, see Figure 1).
Stop signal (Two wire START/STOP signal): A stop signal is received when this
input is activated (ON).
Control signal (One wire START/STOP signal): A stop signal is received when
this input transitions from ON to OFF.
Timer definitions
Up to three timers can be programmed to run in the following order: Start delay, Run time
and Stop delay. A timer is deactivated when it is set to 0 (“--:--” will be displayed). See
example of operation below. Only one timer is activated at a time.
Start delay: The start delay is active when any of 3 start signals is received. The output will
be turned ON only after the start delay is reached.
Run time: The run timer is active after the start delay (or with a start signal, if no start delay
is programmed). It is the time for which the output of the panel will be active (ON) if no
Stop Signal is received. If any three Stop Signals is received before the end of the run time,
the timer is deactivated.
Stop time: The stop timer is active after receiving one of three Stop Signals: Stop signal,
Control signal (ON to OFF transition) or Stop key, or when a RUN TIME has reached its set
time.

Alternating cycle
An alternating cycle executes a pause after every ALTERNATING CYCLE RUN period. If
a RUN TIME is programmed, it will continue counting during an ALTERNATING CYCLE
PAUSE. Both RUN and PAUSE timers must be programmed for this function to be active.
See example of operation below.
Example of operation
The following example illustrates the use of every timer. In the first diagram (with a stop
signal), the RUN TIME has no effect since a STOP SIGNAL was received before the end of
the RUN TIME. The following parameters are used for this example.

Alarms
When the system is stopped due to an alarm, the Alarm indicator will flash and the alarm
code (A1 or A2) will be displayed OR the detected amps will be displayed and the
corresponding parameter’s indicator will flash (see the figure below for a FULL LOAD
alarm).
There are four different types of alarms:
1. A1, Overload: This alarm is due to the electro-mechanical overload protection inside
the panel. The code A1 will be displayed.
2. A2, No load: This alarm is due to the current sensor not detecting any current from
the motor for more than 10 seconds. This is probably due to an electric failure.
3. Maximum load: The full load amperage functions as an electro-mechanical overload
yet with a much better precision and sensitivity. A maximum load alarm will halt the
system due to amperage exceeding 1.3 times the FULL LOAD AMPERAGE (FLA)
parameter for more the 5 minutes or 2 times the FLA for more than 10 seconds. If the
amperage is below 1.3 times (130%) the FLA, there will not be any alarm. Motors
can normally withstand for a long period of time amperages below this 1.3x limit
(this is indicated by the service factor on the name plate of the motor). To cause an
alarm when the amperage exceeds the FLA (100%) configure the maximum
amperage delay (page 15).
4. Minimum load: This is an electronic protection for the motor. A minimum load is
due to amperage below the MINIMUM AMPERAGE for more than 10 seconds. This
is probably due to a mechanical failure. The detected amperage will be displayed and
the MINIMUM AMPERAGE indicator will flash.

6
Setting the full load amperage
The full load amperage functions as an electro-mechanical overload yet with a much better
precision and sensitivity. A maximum load alarm will halt the system due to amperage
exceeding 1.3 times the FULL LOAD AMPERAGE (FLA) parameter for more the 5 minutes
or 2 times the FLA for more than 10 seconds. If the amperage is below 1.3 times (130%) the
FLA, there will not be any alarm. Motors can normally withstand for a long period of time
amperages below this 1.3x limit (this is indicated by the service factor on the name plate of
the motor).
1. Press the MENU key to enter
the menu on the left of the panel.
The indicators on the right of the
menu indicate which menu is
active. Press the MENU key to
scroll down to the FULL LOAD
AMPERAGE (FLA) parameter.
2. While in the menu, the value
of the FLA is displayed. The
default value is 25 Amps.
3. To modify this value press the
PROG key and use the arrow keys
to increment or decrement this
value. Holding an arrow will
rapidly change the value. Enter

How to view the cumulative running hours
The HOUR METER displays the total cumulative running hours of the motor. The displayed
time is divided by 10 (ex. 12 displayed = 120 hours).
Press and hold the HOUR METER key to
view the cumulative running hours.
How to read the graphical amps meter
Unlike electro-mechanical amp meters, the DEMIO graphical amps meter is adapted to the
motor’s actual full load. The FULL LOAD AMPERAGE (FLA) parameter must be
programmed for the amps meter to work properly. The following diagram indicates at what
proportion of the FLA an indicator will be lit. If the amps meter is in the yellow zone (100-
140%), the motor’s current is above its full load and a maximum load alarm may occur if the
motor stays in this zone for a too long period of time. The graphical amps meter can be
useful to determine if a motor is over or under used.

How to lock the configuration
If the panel is installed in an area where inexperienced users may have access to the panel, it
is recommended to lock the panel’s parameters from modification. The following procedure
will lock the PROG key.
1. Once the panel is fully configured and
its functionality has been tested, turn the
power off and open the panel. Find the
PARAMETER PROTECTION
illustration inside the panel door.
2. The parameter protection switch is
underneath the metal casing, directly
beneath the parameter protection
illustration. Remove the four screws to
gain access to the electronic board.
3. The switch is made up of three pins
(identified as P4 on the board) and a
jumper connecting two of the pins
together. The default position, as
illustrated, is OFF (not protected).
4. Carefully remove the jumper (using
long nose pliers is recommended) and
replace the jumper as to connect the two
upper pins together as illustrated.
NOTE: If the jumper is not installed, the
default value of the parameter protection
is OFF (not protected).

Advanced function 1: Max amperage delay
The full load amperage (page 6) functions as an electro-mechanical overload yet with a much
better precision and sensitivity. A maximum load alarm will halt the system due to amperage
exceeding 1.3 times the FULL LOAD AMPERAGE (FLA) parameter for more the 5 minutes
or 2 times the FLA for more than 10 seconds. If the amperage is below 1.3 times (130%) the
FLA, there will not be any alarm. Motors can normally withstand for a long period of time
amperages below this 1.3x limit (this is indicated by the service factor on the name plate of
the motor).
The advanced function 1, maximum amperage delay, adds a second protection when it is
desired that the FLA also behaves as a maximum load. This will cause an alarm if the
amperage exceeds the FLA during the configured delay. Note: The maximum amperage
delay does not override the previous overload function. If the overload conditions
enumerated in the previous paragraph are met, a FLA alarm will halt the system in the
manner described.
1. Press and hold the MENU key
for 5 seconds to enter the advanced
menu. “F1” will be displayed.
2. Press the PROG key to view
and configure the parameter. By
default, the MAX AMPERAGE
DELAY is deactivated (----).
3. Use the arrow keys to increment
or decrement this value. Holding
an arrow will rapidly change the
value. Enter the desired delay (in
seconds). Exceeding the FULL
LOAD AMPERAGE during the
programmed amount of time will
cause a FLA alarm.
4. Press MENU twice to exit. The menu will automatically exit after 30 seconds.

16
Advanced function 2: Number of wounds (current transformer)
The advanced function 2, number of wounds, is normally factory set and should only be
modified if recommended by the manufacturer or dealer or when replacing the electronic
circuit board. This parameter configures the amperage meter to function with the proper
electric configuration of the control panel and depends on the maximum amperage value of
the panel. The value programmed here is the number of wounds of the cable on the current
transformer.
1. Press and hold the MENU key
for 5 seconds to enter the advanced
menu. “F1” will be displayed.
Press the MENU key again; “F2”
will be displayed.
2. Press the PROG key to view
and configure the parameter.
3. Use the arrow keys to increment
or decrement this value.
4. Press MENU to exit. The menu will automatically exit after 30 seconds.
