 Pump cleaning
The pump cleaning function is mainly used to clean pumps whenever a blockage
occurs in the pump. This function consists of a programmable sequence of
forward rotation of the pump and helps to remove any residue or rags on the
impeller or piping.
Note: Pump cleaning function works only in external mode.
The main features of pump cleaning function are:
• prevents blockages and decreases the need of manual cleaning
• increases the lifetime of the pump, pipes and impellers, and
• improves energy efficiency of the system.
Pump cleaning sequence
The drive starts cleaning with a pulse in the opposite direction of the running
direction. The speed step size is same for both positive and negative directions.
