NOTE !
Read the entire instruction carefully before start.
Interface:
MicaFlex Fume hood controller is a programmable
system for continuous measuring, control and moni-
toring of the face velocity in the fume hood sash
opening. The operator has a keypad with 4 keys to
his help: "Normal" for normal velocity, "Emergency"
for fully open damper, "Setback" for fume hood
when not in use and the “Mute"-key.
The fume hood is only safe when display indicate a
velocity exceeding 0,50 m/s and the green LED is
lit. The green LED indicate that the velocity is inside
the limits for normal velocity. A yellow LED is lit
when the velocity is beyond normal limit but within
the set time delay. Flashing yellow LED indicate set-
back-mode and flashing red LED indicate Alarm
condition.
Programming:
The function of the keypad is changed to program-
ming mode by pressing the "Setback"-key for a
period of 5 seconds. Before change of function the
control mode is changed to ‘Normal’ then the dis-
play shows:
The keys change function to t,s,PGM, ESC.
NOTE !
If the Access code is activated a logon screen 'En-
ter Code' is shown. Enter the 4 digit code to pro-
ceed to the Program menu.
Parameter groups:
With the ¹¸-keys it is possible to change between
the different parameter groups.
1. Internals
2. Calibration
3. Alarm 1
4. Alarm 2
5. Controller
6. Sash settings
7. System settings
8. Communication (if installed)
When the parameter group to be programmed
or checked is shown, push the PGM-key.
When the groups first parameter is shown, select by
¹¸ the parameter to be programmed and push the
PGM-key.
Programming of digits
Each digit is programmed separately. The digit to be
programmed is flashing. Push ¹¸ to change value
of the digit. Push the PGM-key to get to the next
digit. When all digits are programmed push PGM
and the entire row will flash.
To abort an incorrect programming push ESC and
then PGM to start a new programming.
To stop programming
Push ESC to return to the parameter group.
Push ESC to leave programming mode and return
to the operator menu.

dance with the control function selected.

If the control is unstable, decrease the 'Pulse' [P24]
outside the 'BZ' from 0.25 to 0.1 or to a setting be-
tween. If this isn´t enough to achieve a stable con-
trol, the 'Pause' [P25] can be increased to 0.2 or a
setting between.

will take longer time to reach the setpoint. Check
that the alarm delay is enough for the new I-time.

The Sash settings use different functions depend-
ing on the type of sensor used on the Sash.
Potentiometer or Switch.
If the Sash have a voltage free contact with a me-
chanical limit switch [SWITCH] the grey-toned pa-
rameters are not visible.
If a Sash potentiometer [POT] is mounted the actual
flow is calculated (l/s) and can be used for alarm
and output on terminal 13, 0...10 VDC signal.
See separate instruction for Sash potentiometer.
Calibration of Sash potentiometer:
Measure and program the width of the sash opening
in centimetre (cm). Zero-set the potentiometer ac-
cording to the separate instruction.
Setthesashtoa5cmopening. Press the PGM-key,
select with the arrow keys ts to 'YES' and press
the PGM-key once again.
Set the sash to a 40 cm opening and repeat the pro-
gramming in the same way.

The "Setback" -key can be programmed for three
different functions:
OFF: The key is disabled.
ONCE: The key can only be used one time before
the parameter function returns to the 'OFF' mode.
ON: The key is always enabled.
The voltage free input on terminal 17 is always acti-
vated independent of this.
Output: VELO/FLOW
VELO: the present velocity 0...1.0 m/s = 0..10 VDC
output signal on terminal 13. If using a sash potenti-
ometer the output can be air flow 0...999 l/s = 0...10
VDC output signal on terminal 13.
Access Code: With the parameter value set to
'0000' the function is inactivated otherwise the pro-
grammed 4-digit code must be entered in the logon
screen before accessing the Program menu.
