Installation and operating instructions

12. Motor information

13. General description

Grundfos E-pumps have standard motors with integrated 
frequency converter. The pumps are for single-phase or three-
phase power supply connection.

13.1 Pumps without factory-fitted sensor

The pumps have a built-in PI controller and can be set up for an 
external sensor enabling control of the following parameters:
• pressure
• differential pressure
• temperature
• differential temperature
• flow rate
• liquid level in a tank.
From factory, the pumps have been set to control mode 
uncontrolled. The PI controller can be activated by means of 
Grundfos GO and R100.

13.2 Pumps with pressure sensor

The pumps have a built-in PI controller and are set up with a 
pressure sensor enabling control of the pump discharge 
pressure.
The pumps are set to control mode controlled. The pumps are 
typically used to hold a constant pressure in variable-demand 
systems or differential pressure in closed-loop applications.

13.3 Settings

The description of settings apply both to pumps without factory-
fitted sensor and to pumps with a factory-fitted pressure sensor.

Setpoint

The desired setpoint can be set in three different ways:
• directly on the pump control panel
• via an input for external setpoint signal
• by means of Grundfos GO or wireless remote control.

Other settings

All other settings can only be made by means of the Grundfos GO 
or R100.
Important parameters such as actual value of control parameter, 
power consumption, etc. can be read via the Grundfos GO or 
R100.
If special or customized settings are required, use Grundfos PC 
Tool E-products. Contact your local Grundfos company for more 
information.
