IMPORTANT NOTICE ON LIABILITY NOTICE The faultless function of the LE-300 depends on many external factors, which the manufacturer has no influence on. The manufacturer assumes no liability for damage to the milk cooling tank, the connected components or the milk.
Page 11: Intended Use
Please read carefully before installation and before any work on or with the regulator! Universal tank controllers LE-300 are designed to control heating systems, condensing units, alarms, fans, etc. in milk cooling tanks as well as to monitor milk quality. Furthermore, connected milking robots can be controlled. Any other use of the device is permitted only with prior written permission from the manufacturer.
Page 12: Wiring, Screening, Earthing
Important note concerning the external fuse NOTICE - The transformer, which is installed in the LE-300, has a two-chamber safety winding, which is only short-circuit-proof due to the built-in thermal protection. If the temperature exceeds 145 ° C, there is a risk of damage!
Page 13: Installation

Page 19: Operation
5. Operation 5.1 Function overview The LE-300 is a universal tank control unit which combines all the basic functions in one device: - milk cooling control - comprehensive cleaning control - an extended robot interface - an extended tank monitor All basic functions can be selected and operated from the working level.
Page 20: Continuous Stirring Mode
(heater, pump, detergent injection) can be set separately. The automatic switchover from acidic to alkaline detergent is also adjustable. The LE-300 controls the different processes and times fully automatically. Following a power failure the control unit will restart in the mode it was in before.

Despite all care, we point out that the use of the free PC-Software is at your own risk. WELBA does not accept any liability for damages or loss of data resulting from the installation or use of the Software. LE-300...
Page 22: Guideline For The Initial Installation / Parameterization
Step 9 Assign occurrences to the various alarms in the F-parameters (alarm horn, LED-display, SMS-message, etc.) TIPP For the parameterization and the commissioning of the LE-300 use the free Soft-ware “Welba KONSOFT”. Advantages: - Fast and comfortable parameterization of the LE-300.
Page 23: Setting The Date And Time
For data evaluation, the Software Konsoft uses the entered date of the NOTICE LE-300. If date and time are not entered correctly, the evaluation is also incorrect! Now the control unit’s parameters must be properly set in line with the features of your system.

Page 110: Power Pack Or Operation Via External Power Supply
In the event of extreme voltage fluctuations in the power supply (or if no 230V power supply is available), the LE-300 can also be operated via an external 12 V power supply. The connection must be made via terminals 21 + 22.

For proper installation, please pay attention to the documentation supplied. 9.11 Integrated multifunction-time relay The LE-300 has an integrated time relay function by which external components can be switched. There is no need of an additional time relay. Setting as follows: - Select time relay function via parameter [A86] (selection 1..8).
Page 113 If the trigger signal drops off, a pulse of length T2 is given at the relay output (but only as long as the trigger signal remains dropped off). If the trigger signal returns within T2, the relay also drops off, too. Trigger signal Relay output LE-300...

- unsatisfactory routing of wires, too small cross-sections - loose contacts - rhythmically changing power stages (power converters) - power breakers - high-frequency generators b. If specific interference sources cannot be avoided they should at least be kept at a distance from the regulator system. LE-300...
Page 118 9.14 General measures when using electronic control systems (continued) c. Capacitive and inductive couplings can cause crosstalk between high-voltage lines and parallel low-voltage and sensor lines. This distorts measured values and signals and can disrupt the entire regulatory process. It is therefore recommended that all sensors and signal lines be placed separately from the control and mains voltage lines.
Page 119: Robot Control
9.15 Robot control The LE-300 offers two possibilities of controlling a connected robot: - via the button “Robot Stop” - via the signal “Cleaning active” For both functions, the appropriate parameter settings must be done beforehand. Signal “Robot-Stop” (Robot stop via button)
Page 120: Cleaning Release By Robot
The LE-300 can be configured in such a way that washing is not started directly by pushing the button, but in addition a robot release signal is needed.

When the cooling operation is stopped by the milk truck driver, a continuous agitating mode can be initiated automatically in order to achieve better mixing of the milk in the tank.
Page 123: Different Variants For Cooling Start Delay
A new manual activation of the cooling start delay can be triggered only by a long pressing of the button “COOLING”. To cover all the different system configurations possible, the LE-300 offers a range of variants for cooling start delay.
Page 124 10.2 Different variants for cooling start delay (continued) Information on cooling start versions 6 and 7 Both settings “6” and “7” are used for volume-dependent switching on of the compressor in order to prevent the milk from freezing during robot operation when the cooling mode starts.

Page 127: Tanks And Silos With Multiple Cooling Stages (Cooling Step Control)
10.6 Tanks and silos with multiple cooling stages (cooling step control) The LE-300 supports silos with up to three cooling stages. 5 different methods are possible to control the second and third cooling steps. Applicable for all methods: In the parameters [A1..A20] the connected cooling levels and compressors have to be assigned to the corresponding output relays.

Page 135: Other Information - Tank Monitor
The activation delay of the tank monitor is required to test the operation modes during the commissioning without activating false alarms. The delay is activated when the LE-300 is switched on. - All time-dependent alarms are temporarily deactivated - Only after the set time [H90] has elapsed the tank monitor is set to the basic condition and activated.
