2. Description and intended use
The “SILENTIO” is an electronic water management control system. It has been developed especially for rain water usage systems. It can be used with a wide variety of tank systems. Tanks made from metal or steel reinforced cement may only be used when the following conditions have been correctly followed. Metal tanks lead to faulty readings. Helpful is to assemble the device so that the sensor is as far as possible from the metal sides so for example, in the centre of a cylindrical tank. The system controls offer an easy to use guide for the switch programming. Using an LCD display the fill measurement is shown in 1 % stages (in relation to the height of the tank).The sensor operates with a 12 volt supply. All programmed values such as the tank height are retained after disconnection of the power supply or after a power-cut.
3. Description

4 . Assembly:
4.1 Control system
The electric mains supply plug acts also as the ON/OFF switch.
Before opening the equipment pull the plug out from the mains socket!
The system control is integrated as standard in the basic „SILENTIO“ device from the company Graf. Caution: Always remove the plug from the mains socket before opening the lower cover [7] of the system control housing!
4 .2 Connection sensors and data cable:
The sensor electronics comprise of a stainless steel probe [22] with a red and a white connecting cable [27] and the sensor measurement pick-up [28].
Figure 3: Sensor technology
1. Now the sensor measurement pick-up [28] (cover removed) should be installed on the tank wall (preferably in the man hole shaft of the Graf synthetic tank). The location of the mounted sensor pick-up should be between 10 and 15 cm above the overflow [25]. The enclosed screws should be used to secure the device. After fully tightening the screws, the points that are showing themselves on the outside of the tank must be blunted to avoid injury [24].
2. Measure the height from the bottom of the tank [23] to the end of the terminals [15] and [16] on the measurement pick-up [28].
3. Shorten the connection cable to suit the measured height.
4. Connect the sensor cable to the sensor as described in the following instructions: Remove between 5-7 mm of the insulation from both of the cables. Next, pass the red cable through the screw mounting 1 [19] and tighten this lightly, then connect the red cable to the terminal [16]. The free white cable is now passed through the screw mounting 2 [18] and tightened lightly, then connect the white cable to the terminal [15].
5. Now pass the end of the data cable that has no plug connector [12] through the screw mounting 3 [13]. Lightly tighten the screw mounting and connect the cable wire cores of the data cable [12] to the double terminal [14]. The connection of the data cable is reverse polarity protected. Attention! The screws should be tightened with care to ensure that they are not damaged through over tightening.
6. Now recheck that all the screwed items and the sensor components have
Page 10
been fitted correctly. Replace the cover of the measurement pick-up and secure this with the appropriate fastening screws.
7. The installation of the data cable [12] to the system control must be according to good professional practice to constitute a correct completion of the sensor technology: A protective cable conduit must be used. (The data cable is not suitable for installing directly in the earth). The end of the data cable that is still unconnected is fitted with a plug connector. This is to be plugged into the appropriate socket [8] of the system control. Diagram 2 on page 3 makes clear the interrelation:
Note:
The red and the white cable going down to the probe should be straight and smooth to be drawn taught by the weight of the stainless steel probe. The stainless steel probe must hang just above the tank floor.
4 .3 Electrical connection of the filter flushing valve:
Before opening the equipment pull the plug out from the mains socket!
The connection of the valve for cleaning the rainwater filter is optional. If running the system without the rainwater filter please read on from point 3 (Putting into op­eration).
Before connecting the Rainwater usage system, please ensure there is no over straining or tension on any of the connections.
The plug of the system control unit must not be connected to the socket of the electrical supply. Pass the end of the cable from the solenoid valve for the rainwater cleaning filter through the threaded grommet holder provided with the housing of the SILENTIO system control. Now open the lower housing cover [7] of the system control (see Figure 1). The openings for the threaded grommet holders are pre-stamped to ease breaking out. Break out the opening for the threaded grommet holder with an appropriate tool such as a small screw driver. Fit the supplied threaded grommet holder into the opening and secure with the locking nut from the inside. Isolate the wire cores of the cable in the proper manner. Pass the cable through the grommet opening in the system control unit housing. Connect the protective earthing conductor (green - yellow wire core) to a free terminal with the designation “PE / Ground”. Connect the neutral wire core (blue) to a free terminal with the designation “5”. Connect the live electrical supply wire core (brown or black) to a free terminal with

8. Upgrade options:
The SILENTIO control device can also be equipped with a number of additional special functions.
1. Optional pressure sensor Using a pressure sensor, alternative mediums or depths may be adapted to the use of the device. The sensor must be matched the required specifications of the device.
2. Optional drain pump If the fill level of the tank reaches a specified value, then a valve or a pump can be activated. This is to prevent the fill level of the tank from exceeding a specified maximum level.
Page 21
3. Optional refill If the fill level in the main tank sinks below a specified level, then a second tank is employed to back up and re fill the main tank. The pump used in this process must also be equipped with a mechanism to prevent it from running dry.
If this system is required, then the device must be sent to the manufacturer. There follows an additional calculation.
Note:
The standard system control device may be equipped with a maximum of one additional switch output point.
