Filling Speed 

     25Hz 

 

Idle Threshold 

The % Load recorded at step 5 will initially be used as the idle mode threshold. Add a small 
margin of 2 or 3% to ensure the idle function will activate. If pump operation develops a 
load at or below this value, the idle timer begins timing. If the load remains unchanged for 
the idle interval the ECODRIVE will go to the idle state. 
Set to 0% to disable or when an external flow switch is being used to trigger idle mode. 
 

Time before Idle 

The Idle delay interval controls the amount of time the pump is permitted to operate 
below the load recorded in step 5. Verify the value is acceptable and alter as required. 
This parameter is also used when a flow switch is used. 

 
Resume Pumping

 

 The ECODRIVE will return to pumping operation when the pressure drops below the 
“Return from Idle” threshold which is expressed as a % below the required pressure set 
point value (SV). 
 
 

 
 
 

 

 

Lo Pressure trip 

The low pressure trip is generated if the pressure has not risen above the threshold value 
in the set time. The occurrence of this trip suggests a problem with the plumbing, such as 
a burst pipe. This parameter is the threshold for pressure detection. Verify the value and 
alter as required. The default trip time is default at 30 seconds. Refer to page 45 to modify 
the trip time. 

Hi Pressure trip 

The high pressure trip is generated if the pressure rises above the threshold value. The 
occurrence of this trip suggests a problem with the plumbing like a blocked pipe. This 
parameter is the threshold for high pressure detection. Verify the value and alter as 
required. The trip time is default at 0 seconds. Refer to the ZENER 8000 manual to modify 
this. 

Fill Fail Time 

The ECODRIVE can be configured to run at a preset speed to fill the pipes to a specified 
pressure before switching over to PID/pressure control mode. If it fails to reach that 
pressure within the set ‘Fill Fail Time’ a trip will occur. 

 

 

Fill to pressure 

The pressure in which the fill mode switches over to PID / Pressure control mode. 

 

 
 
 

Filling Speed 

The preset speed to fill the pipes before operating on PID / pressure control mode.

WARNING!   

High & Low pressure trip is for operational purposes only. Separate independent methods must be 
employed to prevent economic loss.
