12-8. (A)Pump control ON / OFF Conditions (Only for single and Easy-link system)

 

 

 

To run circulation pumps efficiently and effectively, the 710 offers four different modes of pump control. 
The following table shows the pump control ON/OFF conditions for different modes. To change pump 
control modes, see section 12-5 for dipswitch settings.   
 
“Normal mode” and “Storage tank circulation mode” 

There are no specific ON/OFF conditions for these two modes. The circulation pump will receive a 
constant “ON” signal from the pump terminal on the computer board, and will run continuously. 

 
“Re-circulation mode” and “Energy conserving re-circulation mode” 

These functions enable the re-circulation pump to be controlled by the following conditions. 

 

ON/OFF Conditions 

Re-circulation mode

 

Energy conserving re-circulation mode

 

Conditions that activate 

the pump

 

The BTU requirement is more than 
14,880 BTU/h* 

OR 

30  minutes  have  elapsed  after 
previous operation 

Inlet  water  temperature  is  less  than 
95°F(35°C)  and  flow  rate  is  less  than 
0.8GPM 

OR 

20 minutes have elapsed after previous 
operation 

Conditions that 

deactivate the pump

 

5 minutes after activation, if the 
computer detects a BTU 
requirement of less than 14,880 
BTU/h, the computer will stop the 
pump in 90 seconds. 

1 minute after activation, if the 
computer detects a BTU requirement of 
less than 14,880 BTU/h, the computer 
will stop the pump in 75 seconds. 

*The computer records the inlet temperature and the flow rate of the pump during the final minute of 
its previous operation when calculating the BTU requirement.
