PLC Procedures

At initial power up you main screen will be showing 2 indicators and 4 timers.

• High Level- When LOGO is in manual it will say “Timed”, when in Automatic it will
read “Level” (red screen)
• Low Level- When LOGO is in manual it will say “Timed”, when in Automatic it will
read “Level” (red screen)
• Filling- Switches to vacuum cycle and starts filling the tank
• Neutral- Tank is neither filling nor emptying
• Emptying- Switches to pressure cycle and starts to empty the tank.
• Vent Time- Allows a delay between vacuum and pressure cycle, if applicable will open
vent valve for tank pressure release.
Using the down arrow will move you to the Counter Page- this keeps track of when the cycle
ends on a timer or a level sensor.

Moving down a second time will take you to the Parameter page- This is where timers can be
changed and delays can be added.
Instructions to adjust timers

• Fill Timer- This timer sets a limit on how long the fill cycle will go if the level sensor
does not activate. When adjusting this timer take note of how quickly the water line
reaches the level sensor. Do not adjust the timer to a point that the water level will
exceed the top door line.
• Neutral Timer- Time delay between filling and empting cycles.
• Empty Timer- This time sets a limit on how long the discharge cycle will go if the level
sensor does not indicate empty.
• Vent Timer- Time delay between discharge and vacuum cycles, if applicable it will open
up vent relief valve.
• Hi Delay- This is a postpone ending the fill cycle when the level sensor has been
activated. It is recommended to not adjust this timer more than 2 seconds so the water
level will not surpass the door.
• Low Delay- This is a postpone ending the discharge cycle when the level sensor has
been activated.

1. On the timer page press and hold the “ESC” button for 3 to 5 seconds until Fill Timer is
highlighted.
2. Press Down or Up arrow to indicate witch which timer you would like to adjust and press
“Ok”. For example move highlighted area to Empty Timer and press ok, highlighted bar
will turn into one blinking highlight over a single digit.
3. Use the right and left arrow to indicate which digit you would like to change and use to
the up and down arrow to change the value of the digit. For example, move 1 space to the
right (to highlight the 5) and press down 4 times to change valve from 5 to 1 and press
“OK” button to lock in the quantity.

4. After adjustments to timers have been made press “ESC” button to un-highlight the
timers and can move up 2 pages back to the main screen.
Panel / Remote Controls

Automatic

• From the panel you are able to run automatic mode 2 ways
o With level sensors in place
▪ If level sensor feels water before preset timer goes off then it will change
the cycle
▪ If the level sensor does not feel water before the timer ends then it will
chance the cycle
o Minus level sensor and have run off timers
▪ This cycle will run to the end of you preset timers and continue to cycle.

Semi-Automatic

• This function can be used to run either one Fill cycle or one Empty cycle using the level
sensors or timers.
o On the panel have the top switch in the Automatic position and have the lower
switch in the Neutral position.
o When the operator wants to run a single Fill cycle and stop, move the lower
switch to fill and leave in that position. The system will run 1 fill cycle and stop.
The same goes for emptying. Move lower switch from neutral to empty and leave
and it will stop after 1 complete cycle.
o To return to automatic. Move lower switch back to neutral, then flip top switch
from automatic to manual back to automatic.

Manual
• On the panel, the top switch can be set to Manual in order to operate the second switch of
Fill, Neutral and Empty.
• While using this function it is recommended to start in the Neutral position. When the
switch is moved to either Fill or Empty the system will run continuously in that position
until brought back to the Neutral position.
• Example: If you would like to fill the tank, move top switch to Manual, and move lower
switch to Fill. System will keep running a fill cycle. When tank is full, switch back to
Neutral. Then you have the option to move back to Empty or stay in Neutral.

Remote

• The pendant remote has all the same functions as the panel. The remote can operate
Manual, Automatic, Semi-Automatic, Fill, Neutral and Empty.
• To operate the remote it needs to be plugged into the pendant with the indicator pins lined
up, and the switch on the door or the panel needs to have Remote selected.
