6.2.1 Cleaning unit (optional)
The cleaning unit is an optional feature, nevertheless is it part of the standard menu to allow an 
easy upgrade of the standard OPTISYS SLM 2100.
The sensor cleaning feature will be active either time based or cycle based. The cycle based 
mode is only valid when the device is operating in level or profile measuring mode. In zone 
tracking mode cleaning can be controlled only time based.
A measurement cycle is finished when the sensor reaches the bottom position in profile mode or 
the position of the sludge level to search in level mode.
The sensor cleaning is a two phase process, in the bottom position the cleaning is enabled and 
the sensor is moved back to the garage for cable cleaning. When the sensor has reached the 
upper position the sensor cleaning phase starts and the sensor is moved through the cleaning 
head in the garage. The number of passes is selectable in the cleaning menu.
Select the cleaning activation type in the menu first. In case of the activation mode is set to 
"timer interval" the sensor cleaning is periodically performed when the selected time interval 
has elapsed. By setting the cleaning activation mode to "counter interval" the sensor cleaning is 
performed each time the selected number of measurement cycles has been conducted. Note 
that the zone tracking measuring mode is not cycle based, in this mode for proper operation of 
the sensor cleaning select the time based activation mode. 
If an external water pump is connected to the device then the menu item "pump lead time" can 
be used to delay the sensor cleaning process until pump system pressure has been setup. The 
value of the pump lead time can remain at 0 seconds when no external water pump is in use.
The menu item "cleaning cycle" is defining the number of passes of the sensor through the 
cleaning head. An external water pump can be controlled by the OPTISYS SLM 2100 when it is 
enabled in the menu item external pump. Each cleaning cycle the external pump is switched on 
when the water valve will be activated. Note that when the cleaning sequence is finished the 
water valve remains open for 1 minute to empty cleaning system for protecting the system 
against freezing at low temperatures.
DANGER!
If the air filter is blocked the meter can catch fire which could result in health and safety hazards 
or damage of the plant equipment.
WARNING!
Turn off the device during maintenance of the fan and fan filter.
