Setup and Use
Pump systems vary greatly. To accommodate this, the
Pump-
Flex
Decel control feature is designed to provide complete flexibility in
how the deceleration process takes place by using the following settings.
Decel begins when a Stop command is given (or the Run command is
removed). If there is a Bypass Contactor, it will open immediately, putting
the power control back to the SCRs.
Figure APP2.2: Pump-Flex Decel Graph
F024 = Deceleration Ramp
Factory Setting = 0 (Disabled)
Range = 0 – 2
When F024 = 0
, the deceleration feature is
disabled
.
When F024 = 1
, the deceleration feature is
enabled
AND the overload
protection feature (from F003 - F005) remains active. When a
Stop command is given, the starter begins to apply Decel
voltage. However, if an overload trip occurs, the starter ceases
applying Decel voltage and the motor coasts to a stop to prevent
additional motor heating and potential motor damage.
When F024 = 2
, the deceleration feature is
enabled
and deceleration
will
continue even when an overload condition trips
. This is
to be used only when the risk of damage due to an uncontrolled
shutdown is considered worse than the potential damage to the
motor.
WARNING!
Setting F025 = 2 presents significant risk of over-heating the
motor beyond its design limits which could result in motor
damage and fire hazard. Do this only in circumstances
where the potential for mechanical damage outweighs the
risk of motor damage and fire.
Note:
The PTC Input will act as an Overload trip (disable), however it
ALWAYS shuts the starter down
WITHOUT
Decel (as in setting
F025=1 above) even if F025 is set to 2 if PTC input opens.
