User Manual

4.1.4 Odin Electronic Control Module (ECM)

The ECM distributes control signals to the wiper units and the optional water spray system, with input from the control panel. Each ECM controls up to four wipers and two solenoid valves.

The ECM has a protection grade IP20, and should be located in a well vented area where it is not exposed to excess dust or moisture. Allow at least 50mm free space on all sides.

The ECM should be placed where there is good access for future service. Placing the ECM above ceiling panels or below floor panels is therefore not recommended.

Consult with your Decca supplier for practical advice and project specific

solutions.”

5.2 BULKHEAD PENETRATION

It is important to mimimize the tension on the cable and the connector. In order to obtain an optimal location of the bulkhead penetration the hole should be drilled according to the dimension given in figure 19. The cable has an OD of 13mm. The cable gland for bulkhead penetration is not supplied, and must therefore be sourced by installer.

Avoid sharp bends or edges, the minimum cable bending radius is 75mm.

Protect the connectors from water during installation

5.3 WIPER CASING

The wiper unit is mounted to the brackets after installation of cable. The wiper unit is bolted to the brackets using carriage bolts for easy fitting and removal, secured with washers and self locking nuts.

Figure 21 - ECM Cable Connections

Wires #1 to #6 are already connected to different functions inside the wiper unit, and should be connected to the ECM according to the illustration above

to function properly.

Cut the cable from the wiper unit to a suitable length, and remove 50 to 100mm of the cable sheath, armour and bedding. For cabinet installations, extra length must be calculated as the screen wires should be terminated in the common cabinet grounding bar.

The wiper cable contains four pairs, and each pair is marked with their respective pair number. Remove the plastic coated aluminium tape and separate the pair screens from conductors. Notice that the wires is marked with numbers 1 to 8. Cable pair 4 (pair screen and wires #7 and #8) is not used for this application, and can therefore safely be removed.

27

User Manual

Remove 6-8 mm of insulation from each of the 6 wires and install cable crimps.

Merge the three pair screens into one common wire using yellow/green tape and cable crimp. Complete the cable preparation using electrical insulation tape on the wire-sheath transition.

5.4.3 WIPER CONTROL PANEL

The wiper control panel is connected to the ECM’s via two Cat. 5 FTP cables for each wiper group, and one common Cat. 5 FTP cable for the master functions.

DP1 (red), signals for master functions. HEATER, DIMMER and master ON/OFF.

DP2 (black), signals for slave functions, WATER SPRAY, SPEED +/- and group ON/OFF

DP3 (green), signals for the LED display (speed settings 0 to 7)

Cables are normally delivered in a grey colour, colours shown are for illustration purposes only!

Always make sure that power is switched off before doing any kind of

maintenance to the electric circuits

The most basic control system consists of a control panel with only one wiper group, connected to a wiper module (ECM). In this case, DP1, DP2 and DP3 on the control panel is connected to DP1, DP2 and DP3 on the wiper module in the same order, as shown in Fig. 22.

Figure 22 - Wiper Control Panel - ECM Cable Connections, Single group

User Manual

28

A slightly more advanced configuration is a control panel with 3 groups, connected to 3 wiper modules. In this case, module #1 passes on the DP1 signal through its “M” output to module #2, and module #2 passes on the DP1 signal to module #3. DP2 and

DP3 signals is connected directly to the control panel as shown in Fig. 23.

Figure 23 - Wiper Control Panel - ECM Cable Connections, Three Groups

29

User Manual

Each wiper module supports up to four wipers. However, it is possible to connect more than four wipers to one wiper group by connecting multiple wiper modules to the same group output on the control panel. This is done by passing on both the DP1 signal (M out) and the DP2 signal (S out). Notice that “slave units” do not utilize the DP3 (display) signal.

6 SYSTEM OPERATION

6.1 WIPER CONTROL PANEL

The control panel operates up to five wiper groups, and up to five water spray zones.

Wiper groups (1 - 5) is represented with a column (1 - 5) on the touch panel.

Each wiper group can consist of any number of wiper units.

Each water spray zone controls a water valve (and an air purge valve where applicable).

The three functions shown on the left affect the system as a whole, while the functions in the numbered columns apply to its respective wiper group and water spray zone.

The following commands are valid whether the main switch is in on or off position:

● Heated wiper casing (on/off)

● Night mode (on/off)

● Water spray/air purge

The remaining functions require the control panel to be activated through the main switch. A red LED by the main switch indicates when the system is on/standby mode.

Figure 25 - Wiper Control Panel

6.1.1 Wiper Speed Settings

When the main switch is switched on for the first time after powering up the system, all wiper groups will indicate speed setting 0 (wiper group inactive). Each wiper group is individually controlled using the “speed up” and “speed down” keys, see Fig. 25.

Once a wiper group is activated (speed setting between 1 and 7), it can be deactivated by either stepping down the speed incrementally using the “speed down” key

31 repeatedly, or by pushing the wiper group “OFF” key.

User Manual

The wiper speed settings range from 0 (inactive) to 7, and is indicated below the water spray switch. Speed settings are preset in the following order:

1: Intermittent mode, 15 seconds between sweeps

2: Intermittent mode, 10 seconds between sweeps

3: Intermittent mode, 5 seconds between sweeps

4: Continuous mode, low motor speed

5: Continuous mode, normal motor speed

6: Continuous mode, fast motor speed

7: Continuous mode, extra fast motor speed

6.1.2 Off/Resume Function (Main Switch)

If one or more wiper groups are active as the main switch is turned off, the control system will remember each respective wiper group’s speed setting during standby mode.

When the control panel is reactivated (main switch), all wiper groups will resume at their previously used speed settings. By using the off/resume function rather than switching each wiper group off individually, fewer control inputs are required from the operator.

6.1.3 Heater Function

Decca Wipers are equipped with an internal heater element to prevent icing of the moving parts. This function applies to all wiper units whether the wipers are in operation or not, even if the main switch is turned off. When the heater elements are activated, a red LED will illuminate by the heater switch. It is possible to control heated windows from the same switch, but this requires external components that are not included in the standard scope of supply. Please contact your nearest Decca distributor for more information on this option.

6.1.4 Water Spray and Air Purge Function

The Odin control panel features a system for cleaning the windows using pressurised water and air. Push and hold the water spray switch in order to open the water spray valve. The valve will remain open as long as the water spray switch is held down. Releasing the water spray switch will close the water spray valve and open the air purge valve. The air purge lasts for approximately 30 seconds and the wiper units will automatically run at a continuous speed setting during this process.

6.1.5 Night Mode

The night mode function toggles between 100% and 65% LED brightness. The control panel is designed using only LED’s that are in red colour, as this wavelength is perceived to be the least glaring and distracting to the human eye, thereby ensuring good night vision.
