Service and Diagnostic Equipment
Besides a complete set of standard meters, the following instruments are necessary to perform fast checks
and repairs on Nilsk machines:
• Laptop computer charged with the current version of EzParts, Adobe Reader and (if possible) Internet
connection
• Digital Volt Meter (DVM)
• Amp clamp with possibility of making DC measurements
• Hydrometer
• Battery charge tester to check 12V batteries
• Static control wrist strap
• Dynamometric wrench set
• A copy of the Instructions for Use Manual and Spare Parts List of the machine to be serviced (provided
with the machine or available at www.advance-us.com or other Nilsk websites).
The following equipment is also available at Nilsk or Advance Centers:
The architecture of the electronic control system for
the machine’s electrical components is composed
of a Main machine controller (EB1) and a Display
controller (EB2), in turn connected to a User
interface controller (EB3) which represents the main
user interface.
The Main machine controller (EB1) manages all
components and drives the following components
directly:
• Drive system motor (M3)
• Vacuum system motor (M2)
• Deck actuator (M5)
• Brush motor (M6)
• Solution ow solenoid valve (EV1)
• Detergent pump (M4)
The Display controller (EB2) serves mainly as an
aggregator for all input signals (buttons) and outputs
(LEDs) from the User interface controller (EB3),
which it is connected to via 2 at cables.
Mounted on the Display controller (EB2) is also the
LCD display and the 2 sensors which detect the
presence and type of magnetic key inserted in the
Main machine controller.
The Display controller (EB2) sends all the input
and output signals of these components to the Main
machine controller (EB1) using 2-wire 2-way serial
communications protocol.
The system is completed by the on-board battery
charger which also uses a proprietary serial protocol
to communicate with the Main machine controller
(EB1), in order to display its operating status
(charging phase) to the operator on the LCD display.

Service Suggestions
F1 is a safety fuse primarily included to
prevent a short circuit or serious damage
to the Main machine controller causing
currents such as to melt cables and/or
cause smoke or fire. If F1 has blown, this is
usually indicative of serious damage to the
Main machine controller.
1. Removing the cover should allow you to
understand the extent of the damage,
but the solution in any case should be to
replace the Main machine controller.
2. Try replacing fuse F1 only if there is
no clear damage to the Main machine
controller and wiring.
3. Ensure you tighten the fuse contacts
correctly.

of the motor should be around 0.6 – 0.8
Ohm)
3. If necessary, replace the gear motor unit
motor
and that the openings of the electrical
compartment are not blocked.
2. If everything is within normal
parameters, this may simply have been
caused by extreme working conditions
such as: Ambient temperature over
86°F (>30°C), sloping working sections.
Simply leave the system to cool and turn
the machine back on.
All alarms of the drive system operate by cutting the power supply to the gear motor unit motor until the
KEY input is reset (with the exception of alarm T3 which is reset as soon as the input voltage of the paddle
potentiometer returns within the values corresponding to “machine stopped”). In case of simultaneous
errors, the one with greater priority is shown rst (priority order is opposite to the number of ashes).

System for Flow Rate Regulation as Function of Speed
Solution ow levels 1, 2 and 3 regulate the ow of detergent solution on the basis of the machine speed so as
to keep the quantity of solution dispensed per square metre of oor treated constant.
The reference ow level is level 3: based on the setting of the corresponding parameter P3, the opening time
of the solenoid valve (and of the detergent pump when tted) is regulated so that the quantity of solution in
centiliters per metre travelled by the machine is constant and equal to the value set in the parameter.
For example, for P3 = 3.0, the machine will dispense 3 centiliters of solution per metre travelled, which
equates (for the standard deck width of 530 mm) to 5.7 centiliters per square metre of oor treated.
Levels 1 and 2 are dened via the corresponding parameters P1 and P2 as a % of level 3.
For example, for P1 = 25 and P2 = 50, P1 and P2 are respectively ¼ (25%) and ½ (50%) of the reference ow
rate P3.
The default values (the same as in the example above) are summarized in the table, with the corresponding
ow rate values in liters per minute, dependent on machine speed, given as a reference.

The architecture of the electronic control system for
the machine’s electrical components is composed
of a Main machine controller (EB1) and a Display
controller (EB2), in turn connected to the User
interface controller (EB3) which represents the main
user interface.
The Main machine controller (EB1) manages all
components and drives the following components
directly:
• Drive system motor (M3)
• Vacuum system motor (M2)
• Deck actuator (M5)
• Brush motor (M6)
• Solution ow solenoid valve (EV1)
• Detergent pump (M4)
The Display controller (EB2) serves mainly as an
aggregator for all input signals (buttons) and outputs
(LEDs) from the User interface controller (EB3),
which it is connected to via 2 at cables.
The Magnetic key reader (IB) is connected to the
Display controller (EB2). The display controller
(EB2) check the presence of the Magnetic smart key
and drive the switch on/off of the system accordingly.
The Display controller (EB2) sends all the input
and output signals of these components to the Main
machine controller (EB1) using 2-wire 2-way serial
communications protocol.
The system is completed by the on-board battery
charger which also uses a proprietary serial protocol
to communicate with the Main machine controller
(EB1), in order to display its operating status
(charging phase) to the operator on the LCD display.

Main machine controller (EB1) Alarm Codes
The Main machine controller (EB1) indicates a series of alarms in case of malfunction of one or more
systems, and in case of abnormal conditions detected in the input signals.
The alarms are shown on the display in the following format: ALARM <XX> <DESCRIPTION> (Figure 4).
63Service Manual – SC50005 - Control System, Magnetic Smart Key

been caused by a signicant external
electromagnetic disturbance.
1. Check that the settings and parameters
(see pages 71 - 72) are correct (they
may have returned to their defaults).
If the error persists, the Main machine

Service Suggestions
F1 is a safety fuse primarily included to
prevent a short circuit or serious damage
to the Main machine controller causing
currents such as to melt cables and/or
cause smoke or re. If F1 has blown, this is
usually indicative of serious damage to the
Main machine controller.
1. Removing the cover should allow you to
understand the extent of the damage,
but the solution in any case should be to
replace the Main machine controller.
2. Try replacing fuse F1 only if there is
no clear damage to the Main machine
controller and wiring.
3. Ensure you tighten the fuse contacts
correctly.
It could happen also if a battery is broken:

System for Flow Rate Regulation as Function of Speed
Solution ow levels 1, 2 and 3 regulate the ow of detergent solution on the basis of the machine speed so as
to keep the quantity of solution dispensed per square metre of oor treated constant.
The reference ow level is level 3: based on the setting of the corresponding parameter P3, the opening time
of the solenoid valve (and of the detergent pump when tted) is regulated so that the quantity of solution in
centiliters per metre travelled by the machine is constant and equal to the value set in the parameter.
For example, for P3 = 3.0, the machine will dispense 3 centiliters of solution per metre travelled, which
equates (for the standard deck width of 530 mm) to 5.7 centiliters per square metre of oor treated.
Levels 1 and 2 are dened via the corresponding parameters P1 and P2 as a % of level 3.
For example, for P1 = 25 and P2 = 50, P1 and P2 are respectively ¼ (25%) and ½ (50%) of the reference ow
rate P3.
The default values (the same as in the example above) are summarized in the table, with the corresponding
ow rate values in liters per minute, dependent on machine speed, given as a reference.
