AQUAVAR IPC Q&A (AQIPCQA)
6. QUESTION
What is the motor range that I can use with my
drive?
6. ANSWER
All of our drives have a database in them that will
allow you to enter the motor size in a range of up
to four sizes down. Here is an example for 7.5 HP
drives:
Motor Horsepower: 2 HP, 3 HP, 4 HP, 5 HP, 7.5 HP
Note: Make certain that you input the correct
amperage rating of your motor during
commissioning.
7. QUESTION
Can the IPC be used on constant torque pumps?
7. ANSWER
Yes, the IPC can be configured for the constant
torque nature of the positive displacement
pumps. Set parameter 1-03 to Compressor torque.
Positive displacement pumps sometimes require
oversizing to accommodate the high starting torque
requirements. Oversize by one size.
NOTE:
Progressive cavity pumps may require even
greater starting torques. In these cases the pump
manufacturer should be consulted.
8. QUESTION
How do I Check the rotation of my motor?
8. ANSWER
Use the Hand Mode to check rotation. In Hand
Mode you can select the frequency and speed you
would like the motor to run manually and to also
check your rotation.
9. QUESTION
Can I change between Two Set Points remotely?
9. ANSWER
Wire your external switch on DI33 terminal to
change the set points. When you program 2 set
points in Startup Genie, the logic will auto configure
DI33 for the 2 set point functionality.
(DI33 Closed: Set point 1. DI33 Open: Set point 2).
10. QUESTION
Where are my
motor terminals
located?
10. ANSWER
Locate the
terminal block
with U (96), V
(97), W (98)
label.
11. QUESTION
Is current/amperage setup in the Genie the primary
monitor for pump protection?
11. ANSWER
Yes
12. QUESTION
How does No Flow Power Calibration work – is this
based on Horsepower?
12. ANSWER
Yes. NFPC only needs to be done if you are enabling
the No Water/Loss of Prime Function. Follow the
procedure in the Quick Start Guide in the IOM.
When the NFPC is completed it will automatically
put the HP based on this calculation in the No
Water/Loss of Prime Limit (HP) parameter. Based
on this calculated HP, the IPC will shut down on No
Water/Loss of Prime at this HP limit. Also please
make certain that the lines are full and pressurized
before performing.
