This manual is an easy guide for the use and operation of the Any manipulation or use of the equipment out of the conditions
Controller PFR 6/PFR 12. For more information, the complete specified by the manufacturer may put in risk the user safety. Before
manual can be downloaded from the web site of ZEZ SILKO: any maintenance operation the equipment must be disconnected from power

disconnected from supply and remain out of service ensuring against any
accidental reconnection.

4.- SETUP AND MEASUREMENTS

To enter the SETUP mode, press the setup key (9), for more than 1s. If all the capacitors are disconnected, the access in immediate, otherwise a disconnection sequence
starts and then accesses to setup menu. In the SETUP mode, if no key is pressed for 3 minutes, the equipment exits such mode and returns to normal operation mode.

Key to access the SETUP mode:

- Long push to enter and exit SETUP mode. Also DELETE max values when 4.1.- RUN & Measuring mode
In normal operation mode (RUN mode) the regulator display may show different
in the measuring mode
parameters (V, I, cosϕ, etc.) The displayed parameter is pointed by the sign .
- Short push: to change from display mode to edit mode and vice versa.
If no key is pushed during more than 3 minutes, the regulator exits the SETUP By default the regulator displays the cosϕ, but pushing the keys the
mode without changing the setup. following parameters can be explored: Current (I), Current harmonics (THD), Mains
: Symbol showing which parameter is being displayed or edited. Voltage (V), Maximum current (I MAX) y Maximum voltage (V MAX). If both keys
are pushed simultaneously the regulator displays the Nr of connected steps.
- In the display mode: Cursors to select an option. points to the option
- In edit mode: Change a parameter value A long push of key when maximum values are displayed causes de deletion of
recorded max values.

4.2.- Program selection
This setting depends on the kvar ratio between the different capacitor steps. For
instance if the bank is 10+20+20+20 kvar the program is 1:2:2:2, so the option 122
must be selected.
