Operating Modes
Overview
The Antares allows detergent control using two different modes:
1. Probe Mode—This mode requires a conductivity probe be mounted in the wash tank to measure
detergent concentration. Detergent is dispensed automatically when measured concentration levels fall
below the programmed set point.
2. Probeless Mode—No probe is required. An initial charge of detergent is dispensed when the machine
is filled and upon a specified signal from the dishwasher. Detergent dose is dispensed for a fixed
programmed time each time.
Rinse control and Rack counts are handled differently for each mode as described below.
Operating Modes: Probe Operation Mode
Detergent Control
In Probe Operating Mode, the controller begins monitoring the conductivity probe to determine detergent
concentration.
The detergent feed is activated as soon as the concentration calculated from the conductivity signal has gone
below the programmed set point and there is a detergent signal present. When the set point is reached the
detergent feed is de-activated.
The detergent signal from the washer should remain on while the wash tank motor is on,
otherwise the detergent feed will not activate. The detergent signal is typically wired to a power source
that is on when wash pump is running.
Low Detergent Alarm
If the conductivity is below the set point and has not increased by 10% within a programmed number of
racks, a visible and audible alarm will be activated. The alarm will sound at the end of each rack until the
conductivity rises by 10%. If the conductivity has not increased by 10% for twice the preset number of racks,
an alarm will be activated and the detergent feed will stop. Operator intervention is required to restart the
detergent feed.
P/N 10096880 REV A © Hydro Systems Company, Inc. 2014 HydroSystemsCo.com Toll Free: 1.800.543.7184 12Operating Modes: Probe Operation Mode Rinse Control In Probe Operating Mode, rinse signal input controls the rinse output. When the rinse signal is present, the rinse pump will run at the programmed speed until the rinse signal goes off. This varies depending on the selected rinse feed option for door machines. Conveyor Machines Rack Counts For conveyor machines, conveyor time is defined as the time it takes to move one rack length. A programmed conveyor time setting is used to count the number of racks on a conveyor machine. A rack is counted when the rinse on time equals the programmed conveyor time. Tank Change Interval To signal an alarm when it is time to change the tank water, a tank change interval can be used in conjunction with number of racks run since the initial charge. (In Probe Mode, this will require a separate initial fill signal to determine the initial charge.) Rinse Pump Rinse Saver is not a feature of conveyor machines. Instead, the rinse pump will run continuously as long as the rinse signal is active. However, the rinse pump will only operate if a detergent signal has occurred within the previous 90 seconds. Door Machines Rack Counts For door machines, a rack count will be registered each time the rinse signal toggles from Off to On. Tank Change Interval To signal an alarm when it is time to change the tank water, a tank change interval can be used in conjunction with number of racks run since the initial fill. Rinse Delay Time A rinse delay of 0-19 seconds can be programmed for door machines. The rinse delay will occur at the beginning of each rinse signal input. Rinse Saver The pump will only be allowed to operate continuously for a maximum of 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, the rinse signal input must toggle Off and back On again. Please note, this will also cause the rack count to be incremented The Rinse Pump will only operate if a detergent signal has occurred within the previous 90 seconds. Rinse Feed Option There are two options for the Rinse Pump to activate. Option 1 (Rinse on Rinse) will run the Rinse Pump each time the Rinse Signal activates (for the duration of time the signal is present). Option 2 (Rinse on Det) will run the rinse pump for a fixed time of 12 seconds each time the Detergent Signal activates. Please note, the Detergent Signal must be toggled On/Off for the rinse pump to run again. With each toggle, the rack count will be incremented. Pulse Feed Pulse Feed is used only with capsule-type detergent in Probe Operating Mode. If the conductivity reading is within the set point by a user-specified percentage, the detergent feed will be cycled On and Off (pulsed) at a user-selected frequency. Otherwise, the detergent feed will be on continuously. This allows the controller to gradually reach the set point without overshooting. If it is turned on, the user must choose between one of seven different fixed options for frequency and percentage with the set point. (For example, if the reading is within 80% of the set point, the default option is 2 seconds on, 6 seconds off.

Operating Modes: Probeless Operation Mode Initial Charge Door Machines Whenever the dispenser receives a rinse signal that was not preceded by a detergent signal within 90 seconds prior (as in an initial fill), an automatic initial charge occurs. The automatic initial charge consists of disabling the rinse feed and feeding detergent for the preset amount of time programmed for detergent initial charge. Normal rinse signal activations within 90 seconds after a detergent signal will not trigger an initial charge. A five minute lockout timer begins at the start of the initial charge to prevent additional triggering if multiple rinse signals are detected during fill. Alternate Door Machines An Automatic Initial Charge in a Alternate Door machine occurs each time the dispenser receives a detergent signal input (with 2 second qualification). The detergent feeds for the programmed time for initial charge. Conveyor Machines Each time the dispenser in a conveyor machine receives a detergent signal input (with 3 second qualification) that remains on for 10 seconds continuously, an automatic initial charge occurs. The detergent feeds for the programmed time for detergent initial charge. The rinse pump is locked out during the detergent initial charge if the rinse signal was previously on. When the initial charge is complete, the rinse pump will not turn back on until the rinse signal is toggled Off to On. Because the initial charge will occur each time a detergent signal occurs, the source of the detergent signal must remain on for the duration of time the tank is full, or must not occur more than one time per machine fill. If the detergent signal is toggled and qualified for 3 seconds, then continuously on for 10 seconds, the dispenser will receive another signal. If this happens before the initial charge completes, it will run the detergent for another initial charge cycle. The initial charge will run the full charge time regardless if the detergent signal is turned off prior to completion. On a conveyor machine, the detergent signal is typically wired to an “on light” or an electrical tank heat on/off switch. Each time the power source comes on, the dispenser feeds the detergent initial charge amount. If Manual Initial Charge is selected, there is no automatic initial charge. Detergent Dose Door Machines When the detergent signal on a door machine is activated with (3 second qualification) a detergent dose of a programmed time will occur once per programmed detergent dose rack interval. The rinse signal must then activate to run the rinse pump before detergent can run again. Door Machines with No Rinse Signal on Fill (Alternate Door machines) If a door machine has no rinse signal upon fill, select this option. In an Alternate Door Type dishwasher Detergent is dispensed when the Rinse Signal is activated based on the detergent dose interval and detergent dose time. Conveyor Machines On a conveyor machine, a detergent dose of a programmed time will occur when the accumulated Rinse On signal time reaches the conveyor rack time multiplied by a programmed detergent dose interval (1, 2, or 3 racks). The rinse signal does not need to be toggled off and on for another dose to occur. P/N 10096880 REV A © Hydro Systems Company, Inc. 2014 HydroSystemsCo.com Toll Free: 1.800.543.7184 14
Operating Modes: Probeless Operation Mode Low Detergent Alarm Threshold A low detergent alarm is available for Probeless Operating Mode if a conductivity probe is installed in the same manner as for Probe Operating Mode. When the probe is connected, it senses detergent conductivity at 20 different preset threshold values (0-19). Each setting is equivalent to a calibrated conductivity value divided by 10 (i.e., the default setting of 5 is equal to a conductivity setting of 50). If the conductivity goes below the setting and remains there without rising at least 10% for a programmed number of racks, a visible and audible alarm will be activated. The alarms will remain on until the conductivity rises above the threshold point. If the conductivity has not increased for twice the preset number of racks, an Overfeed Alarm will be activated and the detergent feed will stop. Operator intervention is required to restart detergent feed. Rinse Control In Probeless Operating Mode, rinse signal input controls the rinse output. When the rinse signal is present, the rinse pump will run at the programmed speed until the rinse signal goes off. This varies depending on the selected rinse feed option for door machines. Rack Counts Door Machines For door machines, a rack count will be registered each time the rinse signal toggles from Off to On. Door machines include a rinse feed option which, when set to Rinse on Det, increases the rack count when the detergent signal toggles from Off to On. Alternate Door Machines a rack count will be registered each time the rinse signals toggles from Off to On. Conveyor Machines For conveyor machines, conveyor time is defined as the time it takes to move one rack length. A programmed conveyor time setting is used to count the number of racks on a conveyor machine. A rack is counted when the rinse on time equals the programmed conveyor time. Rinse Delay Time (Door Machines Only) A rinse delay of 0-19 seconds can be programmed for door machines. The rinse delay will occur at the beginning of each rinse signal input. Rinse Saver (Door Machines Only) The pump will only be allowed to operate continuously for a maximum of 20 seconds. After 20 seconds, the rinse signal input must toggle Off and back On again. Please note, this will also cause the rack count to be incremented The Rinse Pump will only operate if a detergent signal has occurred within the previous 90 seconds. Rinse Feed Option (Door Machines Only) There are two options for when the Rinse Pump will activate. Option 1 (Rinse on Rinse) will run the Rinse Pump each time the Rinse Signal activates (for the duration of time the signal is present). Option 2 (Rinse on Rinse) will run the rinse pump for a fixed time of 12 seconds each time the Detergent Signal activates. Please note, the Detergent Signal must be toggled On/Off for the rinse pump to run again. With each toggle, the rack count will be incremented. Tank Change Interval To signal an alarm when it is time to change the tank water, a preset tank change interval can be used in conjunction with accumulated racks since the initial fill.
