Delay
The "
Delay
" parameter is used to define the time
period until an error message is generated: "
short
",
"
medium
" or "
long
". The delay depends on the set
dosing flow and therefore cannot be measured in
strokes or time.
Air bubbles
The "
FlowControl
" function identifies air bubbles >
60 % of the stroke volume. The pump adapts the
stroke frequency to approximately 30-40 % of max.
stroke frequency, and starts a special motor drive
strategy. The adaptation of the stroke frequency
allows the air bubbles to rise from inlet to outlet
valve. Due to the special motor drive strategy the air
bubbles are displaced from the dosing head into the
outlet line.
If the air bubbles have not been eliminated after a
maximum of 60 strokes, the pump returns to the
normal motor drive strategy and displays the "
Air
bubble
" warning.

Pressure monitoring
Applies to DDA-FCM control variant.
A pressure sensor monitors the pressure in the
dosing head. If the pressure during the discharge
phase falls below 2 bar, a warning is generated
(pump continues running). If in the "
Setup
>
Pressure monitoring
" menu the function "
Min.
pressure alarm
" is activated, an alarm is generated
and the pump is stopped.
If the pressure exceeds the "
Max. pressure
" set in
the "
Setup
>
Pressure monitoring
" menu, the pump
stops dosing, switches to operating state "Standby"
and indicates an alarm.

7.9.2 Calibration of pressure sensor
The pressure sensor is calibrated in the factory. As a
rule, it does not need to be re-calibrated. If specific
circumstances (e.g. pressure sensor exchange,
extreme air pressure values at the location of the
pump) necessitate a calibration, the sensor can be
calibrated as follows:
1. Set pump to "Stop" operating state.
2. Make system pressureless and flush.
3. Dismantle inlet line and inlet valve.
4. Proceed as described below to calibrate:
If a calibration is not successfully possible, check
plug connections, cable and sensor and replace
defective parts where necessary.
The pump restarts automatically once the
backpressure falls below the set "

The pressure measured in the dosing head
is slightly higher than the actual system
pressure.
Therefore the "
Max. pressure
" should be
set at least 1 bar higher than the system
pressure.
Calibrating when the inlet valve is installed
produces incorrect calibration and can
cause personal injuries and damage to
property!
Only carry out a calibration if this is
technically required!
