WARNING: only use cables supplied with the inverter or which are considered as inverter accessories (it is not a standard cable
available on the market).
4.2.2 Sensors
To enable operation, a pressure set requires at least one pressure sensor and optionally one or more flow sensors.
The pressure sensors are ratiometric 0-5V versions, and in this case one can be connected per inverter, or 4-20mA current sensors,
in which case only one can be connected.
The flow sensors are always optional and from 0 to 1 can be connected per inverter.
4.2.2.1 Flow sensors
The flow sensor must be inserted on the delivery manifold on which all pumps are connected, and the electrical connection can be
made on any of the inverters.
The flow sensors can be connected in two ways:
• one sensor only
•
the same number of sensors as inverters
The setting is entered on parameter FI.
Multiple sensors are useful when a specific flow rate is required on each pump, and enhance protection against dry running operation.
To use multiple flow sensors, parameter Fl must be set to multiple sensors and each flow sensor must be connected to the inverter
that controls the pump delivery where the sensor is located.
4.2.2.2 Sets with one pressure sensor only
Pressure sets can also be set up without a flow sensor. In this case the pump shutdown frequency FZ must be set as described in
6.5.9.1.
The dry running protection continues to function without the use of a flow sensor.
4.2.2.3 Pressure sensors
The pressure sensor/s must be inserted on the delivery manifold. There must be more than one pressure sensor if ratiometric (0-5V),
and only one if current (4-20mA). In the case of multiple sensors, the pressure reading will be the average of all those fitted. To use
multiple ratiometric pressure sensors (0-5V) simple insert the connectors in the relative inputs, without the need for setting any
parameters. The number of ratiometric pressure sensors (0-5V) installed can vary as required, from one to the maximum number of
inverters present. In the case of 4-20mA pressure sensors, only one may be installed; refer to paragraph 2.2.3.1.
