1. Pump (3 wire/Bypass with No Soft Stop)
Factory defaults are intended for general
pumping/fan application with no Soft Stop. Enter
motor parameters as per motor nameplate.
2. Submersible Pump
(3 wire/Bypass with No Soft Stop)
Factory defaults are intended for general pumping
application with no Soft Stop. The acceleration
time needs to be reduced to 3secs or as per
pump/motor manufacturers recommendations.
Enter motor parameters as per motor nameplate.

4. Fan :(3 wire/Bypass)
Factory defaults are intended for general pumping
application which is similar to that required for a
fan. However, the Accel time may need to be
increased to allow for longer ramp times of high
inertia fans. The Motor Overload Class may also
need to be increased with the extended ramp of
high inertia fans. Enter motor parameters as per
motor nameplate.
