Configuration of additional
features
Here is a very short description of some of the additional
features built into the FlowDrive. Please consult the software
manual for more options and a more throughout descrip-
tion.
Flush start
Function to always ramp up to full speed to get sludge and
sediment moving. Flushing time and frequency can be con-
figured in [3B1X] menus. By default this feature is turned
on.
Random start level
To avoid building up residues at start level on the sump wall,
it is possible to randomize where the pumps are started. By
default randomized start level is turned off.
Activate this function by setting start level in “[3B2]Start
lvl “, by default this is set to off.
“[3B2] Start lvl “– Set the desired variation in meters.
Example
Start level is set to: 1.5 meters
Start lvl is set to: 0.4m
Actual start level will then be randomized between 1.1m-
1.5m.
Pump cleaning
Pump cleaning runs the pump in a specific pattern in both
forward and reverse direction to clean the pump from rugs
and dirt buildup. By default this feature is turned off.
“[3B31] Act.PumpCln” – Set to ‘Yes’ to allow pump clean-
ing
“[3B32] ForcePumpCl” – Set to ‘Master’, ‘Follower’, or
‘Both’ to request a “one-off ” pump cleaning right away
Sump cleaning
Pump sump cleaning empties the pump sump by running
the selected pump(s) below the normal stop level until free
running. This will help to get rid of accumulated residues in
the bottom of the pump sump.
“[3B41] Act.SumpCln” – Activates a “one-off ” run of sump
cleaning if set to ‘Yes’ in accordance with “Run mode”
“[3B42] ForceSumpCl” – Configures how to run sump
cleaning.
Pipe cleaning
Pipe cleaning function produce as much flow as possible for
as long time as possible to clean the pipes from loose resi-
dues.
“[3B51] ForcePipeC” – Activate a “one-off ” run of pipe
cleaning if set to ‘Yes’.
NOTE: Pump cleaning will reverse the pumps. Check
with the pump manufacturer that the connected pump
can operate in the reverse direction.
NOTE 1: Running pumps below their normal stop level
might cause the pump to overheat.
NOTE 2: Problems might emerge from sucking air into
the pump/pipes in some installations.
