x. PARALLEL )MAIN7STANDqw0 INSTALLATION:
Prior to connecting the pumps via the Ethernet
Crossover
cable,
program each pump’s “Pump IP address” and “Twin mode with IP”
addresses. See 9.1 and 9.2 below.
NOTE:
It is highly recommended that if the pump IP address
(and/or the Net BIOS name) is modified from factory default set-
ings then these changes are recorded and the change is posted
on the pump itself.
Reprogramming the pumps needs to be completed to each pump
individually prior to connecting the pumps together. See Section 6,
Subsection 6.6
Network Settings
. A standard Ethernet or Ethernet
Crossover cable can be used to reprogram each pump.
Once completed:
• One pump will run and show a blue light.
• The second pump will be on standby mode indicated by a
flashing blue light (drive is enabled and the motor is disabled).
• An automatic alternation between the two pumps will occur
every 24 run-hours. This is not adjustable and is a factory
default.
To confirm communication between the pumps once reprogramming
is complete and the Ethernet Crossover is connected:
• Observe the blue power lights on the face of the drives. One is
on constantly and the other pulses.
• Observe the two communication lights at the RJ-45 Ethernet
connection in each pump’s terminal box. Both pumps should
have one LED on continually with the second LED pulsing
(indicating intercommunication).
• To confirm communication, turn off the main power supply to
the running pump. After 10 to 15 seconds, the second pump
will switch from standby to on (flashing blue light changes to
solid blue and the motor starts).
• Once communication is confirmed, turn on the power prior to
leaving the job site. This pump will now be in standby mode
(flashing blue light).
Notes:
Both pumps should be the same size and “Head Max” and
“Proportional %” set to the same value. See Section 6, Subsection
6.5
Pump Settings
.
This is main/standby operation only. Both pumps will not run at the
same time as long as the Ethernet Crossover cable is connected.

16. IRIDIAN HIRELESS ROUTER SETTINbS:
The following are instructions to set up an external wireless router to
communicate with a Viridian Pump.
Follow the instructions that came with the router to perform modifica-
tions required in LAN settings and wireless settings.
Shown here is the Netgear WNDR3700, but many routers have sim-
ilar interfaces.
Note that this Will NOT provide internet service to
Gour laptop or moVile device NOR Will it ma3e the iridian
accessiVle over the internet.
16.1 Hireless Setting:
This is where it is possible to personalize the name of the wireless
network. The example below illustrates a network called “Viridian
Wireless”. Regardless of the wireless network name, once set-up,
the wireless device (iPhone, iPad, PC, Mac or Android device) is
directed to connect to that network (“Viridian Wireless” as an
example).

IP address
is a pump network address. The pump is seen as http server on this address.
Subnet mask
sets subnet address range that is on the same subnet and can be reached
directly. The rest of communication goes over the gateway.
Default gateway
provides connection route to larger networks. This is usually a router
address.
NetBIOS name
is a local network name server. Instead of '192.168.0.245' you can for
example use 'http://VIRIDIAN'.
Twin mode IP
will connect two pumps for alternating operation. When two pumps are
configured for twin mode, they will switch about once per day. Setting this
field to unexistent IP will disable this option. Set it so the first pump
references the second and vice versa.
(!)Use 'Save' carefully. Incorrect settings might render pump unreachable. If
you change the IP address, you will need to manually enter it into browser
window.
