In the upcoming modification dialogue activate (On) or deactivate (Off) the drain cooling function. With
activated drain cooling the inlet valve opens during the drain cycle, thus reducing the drain water tem-
perature.
Factory setting: On
Options: On (Inlet valve opens during drain cycle)
Off (Inlet valve remains closed during drain cycle)
Select “GFCI” in the engineering menu, then press the <Set> key.
In the upcoming modification dialogue select whether or not the Nordmann AT4 D is connected to a
fault current relay protected mains supply or whether the Nordmann AT4 D is operated on a vessel with
special requirements concerning fault current measurement.
Factory setting: On
Options: On (mains supply with fault current relay protection, main contactor is switched
off during drain cycle)
Off (mains supply without fault current relay protection, main contactor remains
activated during drain cycle)
Ship (mains supply with special requirements concerning fault current measure-
ment, main contactor is switched off during filling and draining cycle)

Notes on the function “Ship”
The “Ship” function is used if the Nordmann AT4 D is installed on a vessel. On vessels fault currents are
monitored much more exactly than elsewhere, since these lead to an increased corrosion of the ship trunk.
Due to the fact that small fault currents can flow via the inlet line to earth/mass also during filling, the
main contactor is switched off also during filling cycle with the “Ship” function.
Since no current measurement is possible during filling with deactivated main contactor, the filling time
is controlled via the inlet factor.
Select “Ship” in the GFCI menu, then press the <Set> key.

Note: With inlet factor 1 the filling cycle takes 30 seconds then, the inlet valve is closed and the main
contactor is activated, in order to check the current rise. If the desired current value is not yet achieved
(110% of the nominal current), the main contactor is deactivated again, and another filling cycle of
30 seconds starts.
If the current is always too high after a filling cycle of 30 seconds (InletFactor 1), the filling time can be
reduced up to 15 seconds (=> inlet factor 0.5).
Or vice versa if it always takes 2 – 3 filling cycles to reach the desired current value, the filling time can
be increased up to 60 seconds (=> inlet factor 2).

Esc Set Esc Set
In the upcoming modification dialogue you determine whether the current monitoring shall take place
with a fixed (Fixed) or a floating over current threshold (Float).
Factory setting: Float
Setting range: Float (floating over current threshold) or Fixed (fixed over current threshold)
Notes on settings
For the heating current monitoring, there are two over current thresholds:
– The threshold for the excess current is set to 135% of the maximum nominal current (violet, narrow
dashed line in the following diagram). This threshold value is fixed and leads always to a draining
of the cylinder and to an emergency shut-down (Error E25) when exceeded.
– The threshold for the over current is set to 125% of the maximum nominal current (W24/E24). If
this threshold value is exceeded the unit tries to reduce the current under 125 % by repetitive drain-
ings. If after 5 repetitive drainings the current value is still above the threshold value of 125 % the
unit goes on error (Error 24).
This threshold is fixed based on the maximum nominal current if Fixed is selected (light blue, con-
tinuous line in the following diagram).
With the function Float the over current threshold (red, dash-dotted line in the following diagram)
can be flattened. The function Float allows a faster reaction to changes of the control signal.

2.9 Setting-up temperature sensor monitoring function
In order to detect a manipulation on the temperature sensor, the steam bath control features the function
“Instab.Func”. If this function is activated the temperature curve of the temperature sensor is monitored
during steam bath operation. If the temperature decreases by cooling the temperature sensor (e.g. by
the use of a cool rag) within a certain time “Time Range” by more than the set temperature value “Temp
Range”, the steam generator is blocked for a certain time “Lock Time”. If the blocking time has elapsed
the steam generator is enabled again.
Note: temperature monitoring is activate only during steam bath operation and if the door of the steam
bath cabin is closed.
Select “Instab.Temp” in the engineering menu, then press the <Set> key. Select “Instab.Func”, then press
the <Set> key. In the upcoming display activate the monitoring function (On), then press the <Set> key.

(Unlock Code). As soon as the countdown function is activated, the set countdown time (Running time)
is decremented, once the steam generator is switched on (standby operation, keep warm operation or
steam operation). If the set running time has elapsed, the unit is blocked and triggers an error (error 15).
The countdown function or error 15 can only be deactivated/reset by entering the unlock code.
Caution! If the unlock code gets lost the CPU board must be replaced or newly programmed.

current is below 1.5 % warning W23 is triggered otherwise warning W22.
At the end of a filling cycle of 20 minutes the warning message can change
from W22 to W23 or vice versa.
If a module with activated warning W22 or W23 goes on standby the warn-
ing message remains existing (advantage: you can see at any time that a
module has problems with the water supply).
In addition to the normal monitoring of the maximum filling time the filling
cycle is interrupted after 300 seconds for 5 seconds (except with the oper-
ating mode Ship).
When the steam production is restarted (main contactor activated) the filling
valve is blocked for 60 seconds (awaiting current rise due to the heating
up of the water).

W24, E24 Electrode current too high
The overcurrent monitoring serves for the recognition of slow rising over-
currents. The threshold of 125 % refers to the maximum nominal current.
If however the steam demand drops quickly, so called correction drainings
are carried out with this function, in order to achieve the new working point
faster. The overcurrent is analysed only if the current value determined by
the current measurement is valid, i.e. the software related RC element is
loaded. It takes up to 8.25 seconds until the overcurrent monitoring can be
released.

The excess current monitoring serves for the recognition of fast rising over-
currents. The threshold of 135 % refers always to the nominal current of the
steam generator and therefore it does not depend on the steam demand.
The current value is analysed even if the software related RC element is not
yet loaded. Thus it can be ensured that a fast rising current can be switched
off, before the fuse is triggered.

W36, E36 Standby Modus active
Procedure:
– Standby-Operation “Draining”
If a module has no demand for 72 hours standby draining is triggered on
the unit. During draining the information W36 is shown in the display. In
standby mode the draining function is triggered only once (no repetition
after 72 additional operating hours without demand).
– Full Draining
With full draining the cylinder is completely drained (3 minutes) after
72 hours in standby operation.
– Partial draining
With partial draining only a short draining cycle is performed. Subse-
quently, it is checked whether or not there is a current flow between
the electrodes. If still current flows (the electrodes are still in the
water), the draining is repeated (max. 20 times). If no current flows,
partial draining is terminated. If the safety chain is interrupted no
partial draining can be performed (contactor cannot be activated).
In this case a full draining is performed automatically.
– Standby operation “KeepWarm” and “AntiFreeze”
If a module has no demand the keep warm or anti freeze function is ac-
tivated. With keep warm function the water in the cylinder is heated with
150 W for a maximum of 72 hours as standard. With anti freeze function
the water in the cylinder is heated with 50 W without time limitation.

5 Water management
28
SC pump system from Nordmann Engineering
The SC system prevents the deposit of lime at solid surfaces and supports
the formation of fine-grained particles by the following effects:
– enrichment of the water with carbon dioxide by supply of air into the
steam cylinder. The increased portion of carbonic acid permits an im-
proved solution of calcium ions.
– the agitation of the water favours the formation of small lime particles
and prevents the deposits of lime wafers.
During operation the lime particles are flushed out of the steam cylinder
with the regular draining cycles. Therefore, the water drain line should be
generously dimensioned when using the SC system to prevent clogging.
The siphon in the drain line should be freely accessible to facilitate cleaning
since increased lime deposits could occur.
5.2 The use of softenend water for the operation of the Nordmann AT4 D
The use of softened water is not recommended for Nordmann AT4 D. Instead
of the expected cylinder service interval increase, most likely functioning
problems will appear.
By the softening process, the Calcium and Magnesium ions representing the
hardness of the water are replaced by sodium ions. Due to the evaporation of
the water, the content of the sodium ions increases and the sodium chloride
will be dissolved at the boiling temperature of 100 °C in form of sludge. The
sludge at the bottom of the cylinder clogs the outlet of the cylinder and stops
the automatic drainage of the water. Finally, foam and sparks will appear in
the cylinder. The result will be completely defective electrodes.
Instruction for the use of softened water
1. The hardness of the raw tap water must be below 500 ppm per litre.
2. The conductivity must be below 800 μS/cm.
3. Never use completely softened water! The softened water must be mixed
with raw tap water to get either a hardness above 150 ppm per litre or
not less than 1/3 of the raw tap water hardness.
4. Sodium salt concentration may be very high during start up or recreation
cycle of a water softener. Therefore a constant flow of softened water
is required and this may not be possible if the water softener is only
designed for the steam generator.
5. Resulting pH-value must be between 7.0 and 8.0. Higher pH-value may
be the reason for foam.
6. Water softener salt must be from good quality. Low cost products will
have a negative impact of the work performance.
7. Check correct cylinder (see operating instructions Nordmann AT4 D)
settings.
29
8. Check installation of the steam generator and steam distribution accord-
ing to the mounting instructions Nordmann AT4 D.
9. The drain water quantity of the Nordmann AT4 D must be increased.
Check the following water management settings in the user settings level
of the Nordmann AT4 D control and set them to the following values:
