The following is a description of each of the Setup Parameters used to establish the Pump Call
Sequence:
Note: Discrete inputs programmed with Functions 1-4, 6-7, 9-12, and 13-16 are also available
to establish or modify the Pump Call Sequence. See the description of these Discrete Input Func-
tions on pages 14-16.
5.1. Number of Pumps Present - Parameter P.13
This Parameter establishes how many pumps are available at the Lift Station to perform level
control.
Simplex (1 pump) Duplex (2 pumps) Triplex (3 pumps) Quadraplex (4 pumps)

5.2. Number of Pumps Allowed to Run at the Same Time - Parameter P.14
In cases where there is an inadequately sized discharge pipe, or inadequate electrical power,
running all available pumps at the same time may be a problem. This Parameter is used to set
an upper limit on the number of pumps called to run at the same time. If there is no need for
this feature P.14 may be left on its default value of 4.

5.3. Number of Pumps Allowed to Run On Generator - Parameter P.15
In cases where the Emergency Generator is not sized large enough to run all the available
pumps, this Parameter is used to set an upper limit on the number of pumps called to run
on the Generator. There must be a contact from the Transfer Switch connected to one of the
Controller’s Discrete Inputs and it must be programmed for Function 7. If there is no need for
this feature, Parameter P.15 may be left on its default value of 4.
