Make sure that the output frequency to the valves, selected by jumper [8], corresponds to the value indicated on
the coils (e.g. both are set to AC).
2.
Should the two frequencies be different, move the jumper [8] in order to select the same frequency as indicated
on the coils.

Should you skip this step of the MENU, Simatek GFC 16 will automatically
set No. of valves as if they were all connected (Simatek GFC 16:4) then 4
valves will be recognized, (Simatek GFC 16:12) then 12 valves will be
recognized.
2) Press SELECT MENU [9]:

E1 will flash on display [7] the cleaning cycle starts.
LED 1 [11] will indicate that a valve is activated.
LED 2 [12] will indicate that Simatek GFC 16 is waiting to activate the next
valve.
NOTE!
-
Valves are pulsed from output No. 1 onwards.
-
Check that during the first cleaning cycle every valve is activated.
-
We suggest setting the Simatek GFC 16 working parameters to clean the filter at
the lowest possible frequency, thereby reducing the little dust escape arising
during jet-pulsing, achieving a longer lifetime of filterbags/cartridges and
reducing the compressed air consumption.
-
Pause time should allow an efficient filter cleaning in worst conditions, but
should never be shorter than the time needed to re-pressurise the compressed-
air tank.
-
While selecting parameters (in Select menu), Simatek GFC 16 will return to
normal operation if no buttons are pressed within a 5 minutes interval.
