6. Verification: Double-check all connections for security and correctness before restoring power.
7. Power On: Restore power to the system. The controller display should illuminate.

5. Operating Instructions

Once installed and powered, the AKO 15226 controller is ready for operation. The 3.5-digit display shows the current measured value from the connected sensor. Specific operating modes and parameter settings are typically accessed via front panel buttons (if present) or through a dedicated configuration interface.

• Display Reading: The primary display indicates the real-time value from the connected sensor (e.g., temperature, pressure).
• Parameter Adjustment: Consult the detailed programming guide (usually a separate document or integrated into the full manual) for instructions on setting control parameters such as setpoints, hysteresis, and alarm thresholds.
• Relay Outputs: The two relay outputs will activate or deactivate based on the configured control logic and the measured sensor value.
• Status Indicators: Observe any LED indicators on the front panel for operational status, alarm conditions, or relay activation.

6. Maintenance

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your AKO 15226 controller.

• Cleaning: Periodically clean the exterior of the controller with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. Ensure no liquids enter the device.
• Inspection: Regularly inspect wiring connections for any signs of wear, corrosion, or looseness. Tighten connections as necessary.
• Environmental Check: Verify that the operating environment remains within the specified temperature and humidity ranges.
• Sensor Calibration: If accuracy is critical, periodically check and recalibrate the connected sensors according to their respective manufacturer's guidelines.
• Firmware Updates: Check the manufacturer's website for any available firmware updates, though this model typically does not support user-updatable firmware.
