1 Safety instructions
The filter control system RM-216 C when connected to the mains poses an electrical hazard. Device
failure, serious or even fatal injuries may occur as a result of improper installation of the connected
equipment. Consequently, follow in particular the points set out below in addition to the general safety
regulations for equipment in industrial electrical installations:
- Installation of the device may be carried out only by qualified experts, in accordance with the
provisions of IEC 364, DIN VDE 0105 for electrical equipment.
- All applicable laws, conditions, orders and regulations governing the setting up of electrical equipment
must be observed with respect to the installation site.
- Setting of equipment with degree of protection IP00 without covers, may only be performed by
authorized expert staff, when disconnected, and whilst observing the local safety and accident
prevention regulations.
The RM-216 C may only be operated in the permitted operating area.
Switch off the mains supply before replacing the filter control or any components connected to
it. Otherwise the equipment may be damaged.
2 Equipment specification
The RM-216 C is used to control 24 V DC solenoid valves on filtering separators with compressed air
pulse cleaning. After connecting the supply voltage, the filter control system functions fully automatically
without further activation. With ∆p mode switched on, the current differential pressure of the filter system
is displayed on the text display. The cleaning is carried out depending on the differential pressure. The
filter can be monitored via a ∆p alarm switch point (∆p alarm).
The full scale output for the measured differential pressure can be set by the parameter 15 "dP range".
The anlog output signal is automatically adjusted to the set full scale output.

Supply voltage connection
A separate
power supply unit is recommended for the operation of the filter controller with
extra low voltage.
The unit can be operated with a supply voltage of 24 V DC, if no expansion modules are
connected and if the electric cables (minimum cross-section: 0.75 mm²) to the solenoid valves
are shorter than 10 meters long.

Connection of expansion modules RM-LV8 / RM-LV16
Use shielded cable for all bus lines! The shielding must be connected unilaterally to the
protective earthing (PE).
Signal cables must not be laid parallel to power cables.

Tighten all cable glands in use so the cables are properly enclosed and water cannot
penetrate.
Cable glands that are not in use must be closed or replaced by blind plugs.

5 “Step by step” settings
5.1 Function when shipped
The down time cleaning input E1, E2 (terminals 10, 11) is bridged at the factory. The cleaning starts
when the differential pressure ∆p for the filter has reached the value ∆p-MAX (factory setting: 1300 Pa).
The solenoid valves are triggered in sequence. The RM-216 C automatically detects how many valves
are connected. The cleaning process means that the differential pressure drops after a time. Cleaning
stops when the differential pressure reaches the value ∆p-MIN (factory setting: 700 Pa).
If another function is required or if additional functions are to be activated, the parameter setting of the
RM-216 C must be changed. See also section 5.2.
5.2 Setting parameters
To set or check the parameters, proceed as follows:

Use the parameter list in section 5.3 to search for the parameters you want to change or
check. On the RM-216 C, press buttons and 
simultaneously, for at least 3 seconds. The
program then changes from operation mode to parameter selection mode. The parameter P00
“Δp-MIN” is displayed on the text display at its set value.

Press the 
button to call up all following parameters P01 ... P20 in sequence. The parameters
already displayed can be accessed by repeatedly pressing the button.

To change the value of a displayed parameter, press the ENTER button for at least one
second. The program then changes from parameter selection mode to parameter setting
mode.

Press the

button to increase the parameter value displayed in increments. Press the

button to decrease the parameter value displayed.

Press the ENTER button for at least 3 seconds. The new parameter value is stored. The text
display will briefly display the message “Store
”. The program automatically returns to the
parameter selection mode. You can now call up other parameters and check or change their
values.

So that the program changes from parameter selection mode to operation mode, press buttons
and simultaneously for at least 3 seconds.
If the program is still in parameter setting mode, follow the instructions given under point .
The symbols shown on the right will be shown in the
lower left-
hand corner of the text display. They
indicate to the operator which mode the equipment is
currently in.
+ - Operation mode
+^- Parameter selection mode
+>- Parameter setting mode
If no buttons are pressed for 4 minutes, the RM-216 C automatically returns from parameter
selection mode or parameter setting mode to operation mode with the last values stored.

1Number of all valves connected to the RM-216 C and to the expansion modules. The parameter is used by the equipment for
internal monitoring purposes and need only be set, if expansion modules are fitted. If the equipment detects that the total number
of valves set is different from the actual number of valves controlled, an alarm message is issued.
2The ∆p measuring range of the 4-20 mA signal output 52, 53 is configurable from 0 … 1000 Pa to 0 … 5000 Pa in 500 Pa
increments.
3If the parameter is set to the value 0 h, the alarm is switched off.
The parameters P03, P06, P07, P08, P09, P13 and P18 are protected by a setting lock at the
factory. If the values need to be changed, the parameter P20 “Setting lock" Must be set to the
value “Off”.
The parameters P10, P16 and P17 are only displayed, if the service operating hours code
(parameter P18) has been entered.

6 Operating modes
6.1 Test mode
In test mode, the most important functions in the control sequence are checked and shown on the text
display. To start test mode, call up parameter no. P14 “Test mode” (see section 5.2 for more information)
and select one of the following test modes:
Test mode 1 (Valve test)
Each connected valve is activated in sequence and shown in the text display.
Test mode 2 (Input test)
The signal statuses of the inputs are displayed on the text display.
Test modes 3-7
For manufacturer purposes only.
Test mode 0 (test mode off)
Test mode is switched off.
6.2 ∆p-Mode (differential pressure controlled cleaning)
There are two options for switching the differential pressure controlled cleaning on the RM-216 C on and
off:
By setting the parameter P19 “DP-Mode” to the value “On” or “Off”
By pressing the ENTER button for around 3 seconds
If differential pressure-controlled cleaning is switched off, the text “DP-Mode Off” is shown on
the display.
6.3 Down time cleaning modes
Down time cleaning is activated differently depending on the mode selected. Down time cleaning modes
1, 2 and 3 (abbreviated below as DTC modes 1, 2 and 3; Down-Time-Cleaning mode) are available:
