These operating instructions are intended for the use by plant engineers, installers or
service technicians of the WTS-300 universal tank control. This manual contains all
necessary suggestions, Information, recommendations and advice for the safe and
proper installation and commissioning of the tank control. It is only with the knowledge
of this operating instruction that errors in the tank control system can be avoided and a
trouble-free operation is guaranteed.
Read the assembly instructions carefully and adhere to the recommendations described in order to ensure proper operation. In addition, the local accident prevention
regulations and general safety regulations are to be observed for the field of application of the tank control.
When delivered, the parameterization of the WTS-300 does not necessarily correspond to the intended use. This must be adjusted accordingly during the installation.
Basically, the installer of the system is responsible for the commissioning of the control.
Operation instruction for the operator
The plant engineers, the installer or the service technician must prepare operating
instructions for the operator of the tank control (farmer). In this case the
parameterization of the delivery state must be clearly documented.
We recommend to only document those parameters which the operator of the tank
control needs.
When preparing the operating instructions for the operator the local regulations have
to be observed – see chapter “Safety”.
These operating instructions include important technical and safety
information. It is vital to carefully study all these instructions before the
installation of the control or in case of any other work with the control!
These instructions have been prepared with the utmost care. However, the information contained herein is not an assurance of product characteristics.
The manufacturer accepts no liability for errors and reserves the right to make technical changes at any time. All rights reserved.
NOTICE for storing the operating instructions
This instruction manual is part of the product and must always be readily available for
the service technician.
The proper function of the WTS-300 depends on many external factors
on which the manufacturer has no influence. The manufacturer accepts
no liability for any damages on the milk cooling tank, the connected components or the milk. The integrated tank monitor supports only the control of the milk quality and does neither absolve the farmer (as operator
of the milk tank) nor the driver of the milk collecting truck from the duty
of care. Both parties have to ensure that the milk is transportable before
it is removed from the tank.
All information and instructions in this manual have been compiled taking into account
the applicable standards and regulations, the state of the art and our long-term experiences.
WELBA GmbH does not assume any liability for damages due to:
! Non-observance of the installation instruction

2. Safety
2.1 General Information
The plant engineering company, the installer or the service engineer
must prepare operating instructions for the operator, taking account of
the controller's parameters as supplied.
We recommend referring only to the parameters which the end user
needs for safe operation.
In preparing the operating instructions for the end user, especially the
chapter on “Safety”, account must be taken of local regulations.
The parameter settings of the WTS-300 as supplied do not correspond
to the intended use. This can lead to undefined behaviour by individual
components when the system is commissioned.
For this reason, no actuators should be connected when starting operation. Load circuits should be separated.
The general principle is that the plant constructor is responsible for putting the controller into operation.
IMPORTANT NOTICE ON LIABILITY
The faultless function of the WTS-300 depends on many external fac-
tors, which the manufacturer has no influence on. The manufacturer
assumes no liability for damage to the milk cooling tank, the connected
components or the milk. The integrated tank monitor thus only supports
the milk quality and does not release the farmer (as operator of the milk
cooling tank) or the driver of the milk collecting truck from the duty of
care. These must ensure, before withdrawing from the tank, that the milk
is transportable.
IMPORTANT NOTICE ABOUT THE ACCUMULATORS (only if installed)
The life of the accumulators is limited. The built-in accumulators must
be replaced by new ones every two years at the latest.
Only (!) charged accumulators of the following specification may be
These operating instructions contain important technical and safety
information. Please read carefully before installation and before any
work on or with the regulator.
It is the duty of the party commissioning the system to ensure compliance with the following guidelines.
The universal tank controller may only be installed by an authorised specialist, observing all local safety requirements.
Access to the environment when connected must be restricted to specialised personnel.
Universal tank controllers contain live components. They must be built
into the plant in such a way that contact with such live components is
impossible.
The controller is not suitable for use in explosive atmospheres. Danger
of explosion. Use only outside areas subject to explosive atmospheres.
The device must not be used if the housing or connection terminals are
damaged.
No fluids must penetrate the housing.
The universal tank control may not be exported to the USA without the
manufacturer's express permission.
2. Safety2. Safety
2.2 Intended use
These operating instructions contain important technical and safety
information. Please read carefully before installation and before any
work on or with the regulator.
Universal tank controllers WTS-300 are designed to control heating systems, condensing units, alarms, fans, etc. in milk cooling tanks as well as to monitor milk quality.
Furthermore, connected milking robots can be controlled. Any other use of the device
is permitted only with prior written permission from the manufacturer.
The controller is intended only for incorporating into machinery, display panels or
switchboxes etc. and when fitted corresponding to protection class 2 (double or reinforced insulation) It is only allowed to be put into operation in installed state. The use .
of the control is permitted in devices of protection class 1 and 2. The controller must
not be modified or converted in any way.
The universal tank controller is ready for use only when the parameters have been set
appropriately. Its use before this has been done would have no benefits and could also
damage the equipment or adversely affect the milk to be temperature-controlled.
Responsibility for the faultless functioning of the connected devices lies with the plant
engineer or the installer or the service engineer who has installed and commissioned
the WTS-300.
The device is fitted with a resistance temperature sensor.
The controller is not suitable for use in explosive atmospheres. Danger of explosion.
Use only outside areas subject to explosive atmospheres.
The WTS-300 fulfils the EC requirements for electromagnetic compatibility (EMC)
and the Low Voltage Directive (LVD).
The safety components meet the VDE regulations.
When selecting wiring materials and installing and connecting the temperature controller to the electricity supply, account must be taken of DIN VDE 0100 “Erection of power
installations with rated voltages below 1000” or the relevant national regulations (e.g.
based on IEC 60364).
! Wherever possible, keep input, output and supply leads and sensor cable physically
separate from each other and do not lay them parallel to each other.
! Mains voltage cables and low-voltage cables must not be laid in one cable.
! Use screened and twisted interface and sensor cables.
! Earth the screening of temperature sensors unilaterally in the switchbox.
! Ensure correctly wired potential equalisation.
2.4 Electrical safety
! The controller itself and the associated control circuits and load circuits must be pro-
tected separately and in accordance with the local regulations.
! The separate protection of the control- and load circuit must be carried out according
to local conditions!
! In order to prevent destruction of the relay or semiconductor relay outputs in the event
of a short-circuit, the load circuit should be fused to the maximum permissible output
current.
! As well as incorrect installation, wrong parameter settings can also adversely affect
the correct functioning of the controller. For this reason, safety devices that are independent of the controller should always be used, e.g. high and low pressure valves or
temperature limiters. Account should be taken of the local safety regulations in this
connection.
! The load circuit (relay outputs K1 to K12) must be fused in accordance with the con-
nected components.
! The connection of external voltages to the digital inputs can lead to the destruction of
the control.
! Caution: All cables to the digital inputs must be shielded and kept as short as possible.
EMC.
Important note concerning the external fuse
! The transformer, which is installed in the WTS-300, has a two-chamber safety wind-
ing, which is only short-circuit-proof due to the built-in thermal protection. If the temperature exceeds 145 ° C, there is a risk of damage!
Protect control unit with an external fuse of 160mA!
3. Installation3. Installation
3.1 Location and climatic conditions
It is essential not to install the device under the following conditions:
" severe jolting, vibration or magnetic fields
" permanent contact with water
" relative humidity of more than 90%
" sharply fluctuating temperatures (condensation)
" dust, flammable gases, vapours, solvents,
" operation in an aggressive atmosphere (ammonia or sulphur fumes) - risk of oxi-
dation
" operation in the immediate vicinity of radio transmitters with high levels of spuri-
ous radiation.
A physical separation between the device and inductive consumers is recommended.
3.2 Unpacking and storage
If the packaging is damaged or something is missing, do not fit the temperature
controller. In this case please contact Welba.

conduit (not even within the switchbox).
Temperature range sensor cable -10°C .. +70°C
The WTS-300 has been designed for connection to various types of sensor (see
technical data). It can function properly only if one of those sensor types is installed
and the parameters are correctly set.
When setting the temperature controller parameters (and whenever the sensor is
replaced) the “actual value correction” [Parameter C91] must be adjusted so that the
temperature measured corresponds to that shown on the display. A reference thermometer should be used for this purpose.

Pay attention to the permitted temperture range for sensor cable exposure.
Changing the sensor cable length
lf it is necessary to shorten or lengthen the sensor cable on installation (or if a sensor
other than the one supplied is to be fitted), the "actual value correction" parameter
must be adjusted accordingly. See the section 9.7
4. Electrical connection
4.1 Safety during installation
Before connecting ensure that the mains voltage is the same as indicated on the device's type plate.
Incorrect electrical connection can cause damage to the regulator and to
the equipment.
The temperature controller should be disconnected from the mains voltage while connecting plant components or the sensor.
No appliances with current levels in excess of the maximum values indicated in the technical data should be connected to the relay contacts.
No other consumers may be connected to the controller's mains terminals.
4.2 Procedure
In order to avoid injury to persons or damage to connected components,
connections must in all cases be undertaken in the following order.
!
Pull out all the controller's plug-in terminals.
!
Put the controller in position in the housing or switchboard.
!
Connect all components and sensors in accordance with section 4.4 (Circuit diagram) to the plug-in terminals.
(Do not yet plug the terminals into the controller!)
!
Connect the mains cable to plug-in terminal A1 / A2.
!
Plug terminal A1/ A2 into the controller.
!
Close the switchbox and turn on the mains voltage.
!
Switch on the controller and set the parameters
(possibly using the optional WELBA-KONSOFT configuration software).
!
Plug the pre-cabled plug-in terminals of the components into the controller.
Correct wiring in accordance with the information in the accompanying description
and local regulations is essential. Take particular care to ensure that the AC supply is
not connected to the sensor input or other low-voltage inputs or outputs.
The various relay contacts may only be connected with uniform tension.
Use copper wire (except for the sensor connection) and ensure that all supply leads
and connection terminals are dimensioned to suit the relevant current rating.
When connecting the controller and selecting the wiring materials to be used, it is
essential to comply with the provisions of DIN VDE 0100 “Erection of power installations with rated voltages below 1000” or the relevant national regulations.
Furthermore, all connections must comply with the relevant VDE regulations or corresponding national regulations.
, Within the two relay groups (K3 to K6) and (K9 to K12), the respective relays are
connected with each other on one side. They connect the respective voltage which
has been connected at the feed point (terminals 8 and 17) to the load.
, Compressor, cleaning pump and heater must not be connected directly to the relays
on the control unit. These must be switched by additional contactors. In individual
cases, it must be checked whether additional motor protection switches or other
safety devices are to be installed.
, Contactors are to be fitted with an RC protective circuit.
, Connection of the digital inputs:
Only the output signal of the control provided at terminal 38 must be connected to
the digital inputs (via potential-free switching contacts)!

The WTS-300 is a universal tank control unit which combines all the
basic functions in one device:
- milk cooling control
- comprehensive cleaning control
- an extended robot interface
- an extended tank monitor
All basic functions can be selected and operated from the working
level. The control unit can also be adapted to a wide range of different
system types and sizes. This takes place through the thematically
organised parameter levels.

I/O test parameter
Within the working level the control unit differentiates between various operating
modes:
! OFF mode (stand-by)
Shows the current time
, All LEDs are out
(Exceptions: robot, outlet valve and tank monitor LEDs may be lit)
, All output relays are deactivated
(Exceptions: robot, outlet valve and tank monitor alarms may be active)
The other operating modes can only be selected from OFF mode. It is not
possible to switch directly between the different modes.
CAUTION: The control unit is live even when switched off.
! Cooling mode
Two freely definable target temperatures can be selected by pressing a button.
If the milk temperature exceeds the selected target temperature (T1 or T2) by
the hysteresis value, the compressor contactor and agitator are switched on
automatically. Once the target temperature is attained, the compressor
contactor switches off, while the agitator continues to run for the set “afterstirring“ period.
During cooling breaks the agitator switches on periodically, in accordance with
the set 'pause time', in order to ensure an even temperature throughout the milk.
Independently of this, during cooling, short or long “intermediate stirring” can be
switched on by pressing a button.
Cooling can be triggered in different ways:
, manually using the “START COOLING“ button
, via digital input “Remote start to cooling“
(by robot or external button)
, automatically following cleaning (only in conjunction with robot)
Cooling now starts in accordance with the pre-set starting mode:
Immediately or after a cooling start delay, with periodic cooling boosts, etc.
From OFF mode, the agitator can be switched on by pressing a button and then
switched off again by pressing the OFF button.
Parameter [C25] can be used to set the time after which the agitator is to switch
off automatically.
The countdown can be interrupted at any time using the OFF button.
If [C25] is set to '0', the agitator will run continuously, but can be switched off at
any time using the OFF button.
! Cleaning mode
The cleaning timer controls the water intake by time or level, as desired. All
running times (heater, pump, detergent injection) can be set separately. The
automatic switchover from acidic to alkaline detergent is also adjustable.
The WTS-300 controls the different processes and times fully automatically.
RESET
Following a power failure the control unit will restart in the mode it was in
before.
Robot interface
Depending on the parameter settings, the control unit includes a built-in robot interface with the following functions:
- „Robot start / stop“ and
- “Butterfly valve open / closed“
These functions are controlled via the keypad.
Tank monitor function
During the entire cooling and cleaning process, the built-in tank monitor keeps check
on the correct operation of all components, in order to guarantee the perfect state of
the milk.
In particular, the following are monitored:
- minimum and maximum milk temperatures during cooling
- power failure (optionally power pack required!)
- agitator function (optionally agitator monitoring module required
- minimum and maximum temperatures during cleaning
- etc.
Any faults are indicated by two LEDs, and associated fault codes flash in the display.
In the case of errors which may jeopardise the milk quality, the red LED “Don't add
milk” lights up.

5.3 Guideline for the initial installation / parameterization
Before setting parameters you should decide the following:
, Which components (pump, compressor, heater, robot, butterfly
valve, alarm, etc.) do you wish to control or regulate with the control
unit?
, Which external signal transmitters (sensors, safety switches, pres-
sure switches, robot signals etc.) are decisive for the control of the
connected devices?
, Are alarm functions to be defined?
, Which occurrences (temperature, time) shall affect the control
processes?
, Which cleaning processes are appropriate to the system?
Step 1 Connect all hardware components acc. to connecting diagram. See
section 4.4
When using the tank monitor, connect optionally extra modules such as
USB module and / or stirring unit monitoring module.
Step 2 Assign hardware components to the corresponding relay outputs (A1 to
A12). See section 8.10
Step 3 Assign external signal transmitters to the digital inputs (A21 to A28). See
section 8.10.
Step 4 Check the wiring of all connected components. See section 8.11
IF ROBOTS IS SHALL BE USED:
Step 5 Adjust parameter A40 and A 41
IF TANK MONITORS SHALL BE USED:
Step 6 A-parameter, H-parameter, adapt H-parameter according to conditions.
Step 7 Assign occurrences to the various alarms in the F-parameters (alarm horn,
LED-display, SMS-message, etc.)
Step 8 Adjust cooling and cleaning parameter. See sections 8.2 to 8.5
Step 9 Test cleaning sequence on proper function. See section 6.3.1.

TIP
For the parameterization and the commissioning of the WTS-300 use the free Software “Welba KONSOFT”.
Advantages:
,
Fast and comfortable parameterization of the WTS-300.
,
Clear presentation of the parameter-settings of your tank.
,
Fast transfer of an existing configuration onto identical or similar tanks.
,
Use the „monitoring function“ of the Software when commissioning the WTS-300.
,
Here all occurrences can be graphically displayed and recorded.
,
Store your configurations so that in case of a spare parts delivery the
parameterization can be loaded onto the new device. Only the actual value correction has to be entered newly
In case of the initial installation the display shows after the application of the mains
voltage
- 4 circulating bars,
- then briefly the Firmware-version
- then the time
Information:
If only 4 blinking horizontal bars are displayed after the application of the mains volt-
age, the time has to be reset. See section 5.4.
Note:
For data evaluation, the Software Konsoft uses the entered date of the WTS-300. If
date and time are not entered correctly, the evaluation is also incorrect!
Now the control unit's parameters must be properly set in line with the features of your
system.
Incorrectly set parameters can lead to serious malfunctions and damage to the
milk-cooling tank.
When setting the control unit parameters, please bear in mind the consequences of
malfunctions. For example, a continuously operating compressor can result in damage to the system. Protect yourself and your system by additional safeguards.
NB: The control unit offers more application functions than the number of relays and
digital inputs available on the printed circuit board. When starting configuration please
give careful consideration to how you want to allocate all the various components to
the relays and digital inputs.

just the agitator runs for the time being.
, When the target temperature is reached, the compressor switches off.
, At the end of the set “after-stirring” period [c20], the agitator also switches off.
, During cooling breaks the agitator switches on periodically, in line with the set
“pause time” [c21] for the “after-stirring” period [c20], in order to ensure an
even temperature throughout the milk.
, If the milk temperature rises again, and exceeds the selected target tempera-
ture by the hysteresis value [c10 or c11], the compressor and agitator are
switched on again automatically.

6. Cleaning
6.7.1 Service functions for testing the cleaning cycle
Start cleaning with the desired cleaning stage (0 to 8)
! Set the desired cleaning stage (0 to 8) in parameter [r92].
! Press CLEANING button: A cleaning cycle starts with the selected cleaning
stage and then runs through to the end.
The next cleaning cycle starts again with the first cleaning stage.
Switch on the cleaning cycle with single step function (up to 3 times)
In order to be able to test a cleaning cycle more quickly, it is possible to switch the cycle
manually from one programme step to the next without having to wait until it has been
completely processed.
! In parameter [r93], set the number of cleaning cycles to be executed consecu-
tively with the single step function.
NB: An aborted cleaning counts here as a completed cleaning.
! By repeatedly pressing the CLEANING button, the cycle can now be progressed
step by step.
programme step
Can be terminated via OFF button at any time, with drain phase.
Tank monitoring function and alarms are deactivated !!!!!
During the entire cooling and cleaning process, the built-in tank monitor keeps check
on the correct operation of all processes, in order to guarantee the perfect state of the
milk. Faults are displayed flashing in the display via corresponding fault codes.
Depending on the type of alarm, two LEDs (red and green) are flashing or lit.
In the case of errors which may jeopardise the milk quality, the problem is indicated by
a red LED as a “critical alarm”. In this case milk must not be added to the tank before a
careful check has been carried out.
In the "F" parameters (see section 8.9), a system alarm, an informative alarm or a
critical alarm is defined for each fault. It is also parameterized, whether a relay function
or an SMS message should be carried out. For this to take effect, the relay functions in
the "A" parameters (see section 8.10) must be assigned to a relay or the SMS function
must be activated.
The tank monitor of the WTS-300 has the following alarm types:
Critical tank monitor alarms (red LED + fault code in the display)
During cooling: - min. and max. milk temperature
- agitator function and stirring intervals
- duration of power failure
- milk temperature too high for too long
During cleaning: - cleaning temperatures
- wash duration
Informative tank monitor alarms (green LED + fault code in the display)
During cooling: - milk temperature too high for too long
- milk temperature too low
- agitator failure and stirring times
- max. time till next wash
- duration of power failure
During cleaning: - cleaning temperatures
- detergent injection and acting time
Additional WTS-300 system alarms (only fault code in the display)
(depending on parameter settings, may be both critical and informative)
During cooling: - cooling time for first milking
- broken sensor
- sensor short-circuit, etc.
During cleaning: - monitoring of butterfly valve, cleaning pump, etc.
- water intake and outlet times,
- heating times, etc.
A list of all alarms and a description of how they are configured can be found
in section 8.9 “Alarm -> Event assignment”.

It is only when the cleaning cycle is active for at least 10 minutes that the tank
monitor resets all critical alarms.
7.4 Tank monitor: Display fault memory
If the tank monitor's red LED is permanently lit, it means that critical faults have
already been acknowledged, but still exist. These error codes are registered in the
device's internal fault memory and can be consulted as follows:
Show the last 5 critical faults from the fault memory
! SET button in OFF mode: the code for the first critical fault is displayed (in
the above example F02).
! SET button again: the next error code is displayed (in the example F05).

This configuration is very important and should be the first step when setting the parameters for a system.
The WTS-300 supports a large number of different system configurations (with or
without robot operation), milk tanks with more than one compressor, different outlet
valves etc.). In total, the control unit supports more output functions than there are
relays and digital inputs on the printed circuit board.
Normally, however, not all functions are used at the same time. When starting configuration please give careful consideration to how you want to allocate all the various
components to the relays and digital inputs.
Allocation of output relays:
In [A1 to A12] the functions needed are assigned to the output relays.
Allocation of digital inputs:
In [A21 to A28] input functions are assigned to the digital inputs.
Incorrectly set parameters can lead to serious malfunctions and damage
to the milk-cooling tank.

9. Other Information
9.1 Butterfly valve (manual or pneumatic)
manual
In the case of a manual butterfly valve, the position of the lever (open / closed) can be
monitored via an optional safety switch. See also section 9.2
pneumatic
In the case of a pneumatic butterfly valve, this must be set in parameter [A40]. The
corresponding function must then be assigned to a relay in one of parameters [A1 to
A12]. Only then can the valve be opened or closed manually via the “Butterfly valve”
button.
Convenience function (only with pneumatic butterfly valve)
Significance: if the COOLING button is pressed in OFF mode, the pneumatic butterfly
valve is automatically closed.

Fault indication
Robot Stop
Valve open
The “butterfly valve” LED flashes if, in OFF mode:
- the COOLING button is pressed while the valve is open.
- the WASHING button is pressed while the valve is closed.
If the butterfly valve is closed in washing mode, the cycle is interrupted, provided
[r10=2] is configured.

9.3 Robot control
The WTS-300 offers two possibilities of controlling a connected robot:
- via the button “Robot Stop”
- via the signal “Cleaning active”
For both functions, the appropriate parameter settings must be done beforehand.
Signal “cleaning active” (robot button has no function)
is given only during washing or in the event of a fault (washing stopped), if the control
unit has not yet switched back to OFF mode.
Parameter setting: setting “13" must be assigned to one of the relays [A1 to A12].
When washing is successfully completed the robot can start cooling via a digital input
(must be set in [A22]).

9.3.1 Cleaning release by robot
r27 Cleaning release via digital input
0: deactivated
1: activated
Explanation
Setting the parameter [r27] to 'active' is only useful for robot operation.
If the cleaning button is pressed after the tank has been emptied by the truck driver, it
may be that the robot is not ready for the cleaning process, depending on the configuration of the connected robot.
The WTS-300 can be configured in such a way that washing is not started directly by
pushing the button, but in addition a robot release signal is needed.
Procedure
If the cleaning release in parameter [r27] is set to 'active' and the CLEANING button is
pressed,
°C

T2
Mode
- the display shows 'CLEn'
- the “washing“ mode LED flashes
As soon as the robot is released, the cleaning process is started - the mode LED re-
mains lit permanently and the programme step for the cleaning process appears in the
display
Note: The function can be deactivated by pressing the OFF key during the waiting
period until the cleaning release 'CLEn' is activated.
Parameter setting - IMPORTANT
In order for the cleaning release to take place, the robot release signal must be assigned to one of the digital inputs. It is preferable to use terminal 45, since this is already configured at the factory via parameter [A27].

9.4 Different variants for cooling start delay
Cooling start delay is
set using parameters
[P61 - P67].
The control can be programmed to delay the start of the compressor after the cooling mode has been triggered, to prevent a slight freezing of milk in the tank. This
delay takes place only in case of first milking after the cleaning.
A new manual activation of the cooling start delay can be triggered only by a long
pressing of the button “COOLING”.
To cover all the different system configurations possible, the WTS-300 offers a
range of variants for cooling start delay.
0. no cooling start delayCooling starts immediately
Cooling immediately temperature-regulated
1. simple cooling start delay
Cooling starts after a set time.
definied time temperature-regulated
2. periodic cooling phases
Cooling starts in the form of periodic cooling phases at set intervals before
then switching over to temperature regulation.

3. periodic cooling phases after switch-on delay Cooling starts after a set time, in the form of pre-set periodic cooling phases at
set intervals before then switching over to temperature regulation.

parameterized
milk quantity
7. Milk-volume-dependent cooling start delay
from start cleaning [P50 - P 55]
Compressor starts according to the parameterized milk quantity in the tank for
the calculated running time, before switching to temperature control.
Both settings "6" and "7" are used for volume-dependent switching on of the compressor in order to prevent the milk from freezing during robot operation when the cooling
mode starts. Depending on the quantity of milk *, the compressor is switched on either
sooner or later and then longer or shorter.
* The control calculates the current milk quantity in the tank from the entered ca-
pacity of the feed pump [P50] and the measured duty cycle of the feed pump.
Measured milk quantity = P50 x measured running time milk feed pump **
** The running time of the milk feed pump(s) is determined via digital inputs. I.e. the
digital inputs in the parameters [A21 - A28] need the assignment of the settings 8,
9 or 10 (depending on the number of milk pumps). For several milk pumps, the
total pump running capacity is added -> and from this it is the total quantity of milk.
Depending on setting „6“ or „7“ the calculation of the milk quantity starts already
- Setting „6" = only with the beginning of the cooling mode
- Setting „7“ = or in the cleaning mode
Setting "7" is selected if during the cleaning of the main tank milk has already been
milked into a buffer tank and this milk is pumped into the main tank after the end of
cleaning to start the cooling mode. This amount of milk is added to the amount of milk
from the start of cooling mode.
The running time of the compressor is calculated from the formula:
Running time compressor =
measured quantity of milk
P53
x P52
If milk is transported from the feed pump into the tank while the compressor is running,
the running time of the compressor will be extended accordingly.
If the compressor is switched off, it cannot start again until at least the quantity of milk
set in parameter [P53] has been added.
105204 WTS-300 V2.0 - 11.01.2019
9. Other Information
9.5 Compressor switch-on delay / pre-agitating
(Only useful when using a robot)
If the milk cooling tank is filled by a robot, filling from below takes place via the tank
outlet. For some tank types, the temperature sensor is positioned very close to the
tank outlet. For this reason, an increase in the milk temperature is measured during
filling, although the actual milk temperature has not yet risen (due to a heat bubble at
the outlet by the type of filling). This leads unnecessarily to the frequent switching on of
the compressor and thus to an increased wear of the cooling system.
The parameter P6 can be used to parameterize a 'pre-agitating time' in which the agitator starts before the compressor is switched on. This is intended to ensure that the
warm milk at the outlet is mixed with the remaining cold milk in the tank and the compressor is switched on only after the pre-agitating time has elapsed if the total milk
quantity is above the target temperature.
9.6 Emergency cooling / Sensor fault
In the event of a faulty temperature sensor, a fault code is displayed:
, F56 fault configuration broken sensor
, F57 fault configuration sensor short circuit
, F58 fault configuration sensor range exceeded
Emergency programme
! A timer can be set in parameter [P4].
! On pressing the COOL button, the compressor and agitator will run continuously
until the time set on the timer expires.
The timer can be switched off manually at any time using the OFF button.
9.7 Sensor correction procedure
Sensor correction means:
A correction is applied to the value measured by the sensor. This is then cumulatively
effective over the whole measurement range.
An adjustment to the sensor correction is then necessary only:
! in conjunction with first installation,
! if the sensor cable length is altered,
! when replacing a faulty sensor.
In order to adjust the sensor correction, a reference thermometer is needed.
Proceed as follows:
! Switch off power supply
! Install / change sensor
! Use the reference thermometer to establish the milk temperature.
! Switch on control unit and set [c90] to the measured number of degrees.
! The control unit calculates the difference between the reference thermometer
reading and temperature sensor 1 and automatically sets this in parameter
[c91].
! Parameter [c91] can be displayed and adjusted at any time.
! Hold down the up and down arrow buttons simultaneously:
The settings are stored.
Proceed with the setting for sensor 2 (if present) in the same way. In this case parame-
Page 98Page 99
ters [c92 and c93] must be set.
9.8 Function second temperature sensor
The second temperature sensor (FÜ2) may have two different tasks or functions.
, To act as a monitoring sensor (redundancy) for the first sensor. An adjustable differ-
ence between the two measured values gives rise to an alarm.
, To regulate the heating temperature / holding temperature during washing.
The second sensor input must be activated by an appropriate parameter setting [A50].
The maximum temperature difference for the monitoring sensor in comparison to the
regulating sensor (FÜ1) is set in [h38]. If the set temperature difference is exceeded
for longer than 5 minutes, fault code [F38] is displayed.
If FÜ2 develops a fault (break or short-circuit), fault code [F38] will also be displayed
after 5 minutes.
9.9 Level alarm during cooling (Fault code F52)
9. Other Information
Safety function:
The level input will be monitored during cooling.
In the case of systems with robot operation, depending on the layout of the system,
the washing line may be connected permanently. If, for example, a water valve
jams and the water level rises, water could be forced into the tank via the washing
line. In this case, once the electrode is reached, an alarm is given and the outlet
valve is opened.
All relevant settings are found in [P40].
9.10 Automatic / convenience functions
9.10.1 Automatic start to continuous agitating mode
after exiting cooling mode
Setting in parameter [P23].
When the cooling operation is stopped by the milk truck driver, a continuous agitating
mode can be initiated automatically in order to achieve better mixing of the milk in the
tank.
105204 WTS-300 V2.0 - 11.01.2019
9.10.2 Automatic start to cooling mode after successful cleaning
Setting in parameter [P60].
When using a robot, it is possible to start the cooling mode automatically after a
successful cleaning.
If cleaning is not successful, the control remains in cleaning mode and manual
The WTS-300 distinguishes between two heating phases:
A - Heating-up phase - programme step "H“
B - Further heating phase - during the main circulation (n34 or n54 and n74).
During the heating-up phase, the water is heated to the temperature set (the display
shows the temperature measured by sensor 1 instead of the programme stage). The
next programme stage then follows. The heating-up time is, however, limited by an
adjustable timeout. Once the time has expired the control unit switches to the next
programme stage. The completion of washing is followed by a corresponding fault
report.
During the following further heating phase, the circulating washing solution is maintained at the further heating temperature that has been set.
NB:
If a second sensor has been configured as a washing sensor, temperature regulation
and the display switch over to the second sensor. See also the section “Function of
second temperature sensor 8.8".
n45
n46
Heater start delay
Depending on the system layout, a start delay for the heater can be set. This applies
only at the beginning of the heating-up phase (depending on whether this starts in
programme stage “D2" or “H”).
This delay can be used to prevent the system switching on to the next programme
stage too soon ...
, ... if pre-heated water- e.g. from a boiler - is cooled down by the cold walls of the
tank and needs to be reheated, or
, ... if, as a result of pre-set pump venting, the pressure switch triggers and the heater
is switched off (see also the sections “Pressure switch” and “Pump venting”).
9.12 Function of pressure switch – Effect on pump and heater
A pressure switch fitted to the washing circuit can protect the pump and heater from
damage.
Protection of the cleaning pump
Parameter [r11] can be used to set the length of time during which there may be no
pressure in the washing line before washing is stopped. This prevents the washing
pump being damaged by running dry.
Protection of heater
Parameter [r38] can be used to set the length of time during which there may be no
pressure in the washing line before the heater is switched off. Washing continues nevertheless.
This prevents heater burn-out.
