CONTROL PANEL SULZER APC 1/2B 

 USER GUIDE 

Rev.13  (2018/08/30) 

 
- The operation of the equipment has advanced alternation PC 242. "ALTERNATION NORMAL" or run 
command is not always be the same pump the boot when reaching a certain height, but in each case is 

different pump (pump obviously that starts at an elevation of Bn stop at elevation set as stop Bn). 
Advanced Alternating provides advantages as "ALTERNATE TO BOMB LOCKED": If the pump is 
blocked by alarm (alarm including lack of confirmation of operation) or its operating mode selector is 

set to 0, PC 242 leaves the pump off service and alternative to other pump is available, 
"ALTERNATION EXCESS LONG RUN": to set a maximum time of travel, after which the pump and 
performs alternating yet have reached its height stop, avoiding jams, "ALTERNATION ASYMMETRIC": 

set a different number of starts for a pump configured on a main group defined as starting a pump each 
secondary group. 
 

 
- PC 242 enables advanced management of pumping "DISCRIMINATION OF SLOTS". With this 
feature you can define different time slots for each day of the week, so that in times of reduced inflow 

we adjust some levels to start and stop the pumps to work in the highest area of the well (pumping 
more caudal less consumption), so you save energy by improving the performance and reducing 
working hours (in addition to extending the life of the pump). Also allows us to make emptying the pit to 

levels even lower than the normal stop before passing the stretch of arrival peak hour flow in order to 
avoid overflows. 
 

- PC 242 allows "REMOTE CONTROL AND PROTECTION OF AUXILIARY EQUIPMENT (SHAKER)" 
it has integrated functions associated with the operation of pumps, control a shaker, cleaning system, 
or bilge pump. Delivered default programmed to control a shaker, so that each pump 5 starts operating 

during the first 30s of the pump. No agitator includes manoeuvring the semiautomatic control system, 
because when said control system is activated, the performance of a stirrer may cause problems due 
to excess consumption for pumping. Procured this optional extension, the table will include: 

1. Electrical protection: MCCB circuit breaker (throttle curve with adjustable sensitivity), and industrial 
application circuit breaker (4P25A/300mA) 
2. Contactor for direct start. 

3. Relays and control for manual or automatic control with PC 242. 
4. Humidity module DI and where would rank synoptic selector mode (manual, automatic or off), and 
signalling pilots shaker states: thermal and moisture probes, motor protection circuit breaker and motor 

running.
