Necessary connections (fig. 4, 5 and 6)
Terminals:
28-29 Supply voltage 24 V a.c. or d.c. 1-7 Signal from level transmitter type AKS 4100/4100U or 7-10 Signal from level transmitter type AKS 41
36-37 Expansion valve type AKV or AKVA (see note to the right) or
23-24 Expansion valve type: ICM with ICAD 13-14 Switch function for start/stop of the controller. If a switch is not connected, terminals 13 and 14 must be shortcircuited.
Application-dependent connections (fig. 4, 5 and 6)
Terminals:
33-35 Relay for common alarm. The installer can choose between Normally Open (33-34) or Normally Closed (34-35) circuits. The relay will switch according to the programmed setting.
25-27 Relay for low-level limit. The installer can choose between Normally Open (26-27) or Normally Closed (25-26) circuits. The relay will switch when the set value is passed.
30-32 Relay for upper-level limit. The installer can choose between Normally Open (30-31) or Normally Closed (31-32) circuits. The relay will switch when the set value is passed.
6-10 ICM valve feedback signal from ICAD 0/4-20 mA
Note!
If AKV(A) is used, the power supply must cover the AKV(A) coil wattage additionally (see fig. 5). AKV(A) Coil voltage must be the same as controller supply voltage AC or DC.
MASTER/SLAVE and I/O configuration (fig. 7b and 7c) When more controllers are connected via CAN bus each end of the bus must be terminated with a jumper between 15 and 16.
Control Panel (fig. 8)
The user interface of the control panel consists of a multiline display and 4 individual push buttons: Enter button, Page up button, Page down button, and Back button.
Fig. 8 shows the Home display image, which gives the actual overview. This is the starting point for entering into menus, and you will revert to this image by pushing 
1 – 3 times depending on the actual position).
Display (fig. 9)
The display itself shows the state of Liquid level, Controller Mode (controller On/ Off), Valve opening degree, Lower level alarm (on = no alarm present) and Upper
level alarm (off = no alarm present).
Additional to the external connected alarm audio/video sources, a Bell symbol will flash in the upper right corner in case of an alarm.
To see more details on system performance and setting of parameters, 2 different main menu levels can be reached by operation of the push buttons.
Menu’s
Entrance to menus (see fig. 10) From Home Image the status menu can be reached by one push-on
. From Home Image the Setup & service menu can be reached by one push and hold on . For entrance, a Login is required by the password given during commissioning.
Parameter mode (read/write mode) When maneuvering in Setup & service menu or Status menu there is an overall logic of showing possible actions for each parameter. Plain text: Read-only
Framed text:
Parameter can be changed – push to highlight. 
Highlighted text:
Scroll with
/ 
to the desired selection and push to enter the selection. Once entered the parameter is valid and the text changes to framed text.
Status menu
To enter Status menu from Home image:
Push once.
The Status menu is an open menu accessible for all. Therefore only 1 parameter can be changed from here. A selection of other parameters can be seen from the status menu:

(Requires log-in password assigned inCommisioning menu)
To enter the Setup and service menu from the Home image: Push and hold .
Maneuvering in the Status menu and the Setup and service menu’s are done by use of the 4 push buttons shown in fig. 8.
The Setup & service menu is divided into 3 access levels, where personnel have individual authority.
The most advanced level is Commissioning, where you have access to change all allowable parameters, including password issuing and a re-run of Setup wizard. The default password for commissioning is 300.
Service level is for service personnel and has fewer rights than commissioning. The default password is 200. The lowest level is for Daily use and allows only a few changes. The default password is 100.
Below table shows the authority given to the 3 levels.

Press for reaching the Setup & service menu or press 2 times for reaching the Home display image. If for some reason it is needed to un the setup wizard again, this is possible by log in to the setup & service menu with the commissioning authority.
Alarm and error codes:
When detecting an alarm from external sources or the flashing bell in the display, the alarm description can be found as a text message in the Status menu under Active
alarms.
Both alarms and errors will be shown here. If more alarms/errors occur simultaneously, they will be shown as subsequent text lines.
