Hi everyone,
my fluidcontrol-Automat (as the Germans say) went toast. I bought a much
better one, from a reputable company (Wilo-Germany), at least in the EU. The
old one cost 40 euros, definitely some cheap Chinese knock-off, while the
new one 80 euros, from the Iraklion-plumbers' special shop, and with invoice
discount. The purpose of this machine is originally for a constant pressure
pump system, but in Iraklion we use it as an Automat to start the pump
automatically when the water comes from the city, and stop it when the tank
is full (almost everybody got plastic tanks by now). I have uploaded 4
photos, of the PCB and of the device itself, at
www.esnips.com/web/dimtzortsPhotos .
Now, I'm just curious how does the thingy work? It has a chip, probably a
proprietary one, and a relay to control the pump. I'm not trying to repair
it, it's already in the trash (I am not that good in electronics, anyway.
