Appendix F. CPEC300 Series Diagnostics
F-12
respond by increasing
pump_control
. This should increase the speed of the
pump and allow
pump_flow
to rise to the setpoint. Conversely, if the flow is
above the setpoint the CPEC300 will adjust
pump_control
downward until the
flow matches the setpoint.
If
pump_control
=
0
, this indicates the CPEC300 has turned the pump off.
There are several reasons the CPEC300 may shut the pump off:
•
Low supply voltage (see notes on bit 9)
•
IRGA has been powered down (see notes on bit 8)
•
Pump temperature out of range (see notes on bit 5)
•
Pump has been turned off by the user. If public variable
pump_ON =
False
, then set
pump_ON = True
to turn the pump on
If the pump flow is too low and
pump_control
is greater than 0, then verify
the pump is running. If the CPEC300 is physically accessible, listen for the
sound of the pump to confirm it is running. Note that the pump is very quiet,
especially at lower pumping speeds, and may be hard to hear in noisy
environments. If the CPEC300 is remotely located, confirm that the pump is
running by turning the pump on and off and checking the value of
pump_press
. If the pump is running, it will pull this pressure down below
ambient pressure. The pressure drop will vary depending on conditions. Six to
eight kPa is typical for a clean vortex filter at the default pump flow of 8 LPM,
or three kPa is typical for an in-line filter at the default flow of 7 LPM. If the
pressure drop is significantly smaller than typical, make sure the pump tube is
connected between the EC155 and the pump module.
If the pressure does not vary when the pump is turned on and off, it is likely the
pump is not running. If the pressure changes, but the value of
pump_flow
does
not, it is likely that the pump is actually running but there may be a problem
with the pump speed measurement. Contact Campbell Scientific in either case.
If the pump is running, but the value of
pump_control
does not change as
expected to control the flow, make sure that datalogger processing is not
lagging (see notes on bit 4).
Bit 5: Pump Temperature
If the remainder of
diag_cpec
(after subtracting the numeric value for higher
bits that are set) is greater than 15, this means that bit 5 of
diag_cpec
is set. To
decode other diagnostic bits, subtract 16 from
diag_cpec
and compare the
remainder to the bit values below.
Bit 5 of
diag_cpec
indicates the pump temperature is outside its operating
range. This triggers the CPEC300 to shut down the pump to protect the pump
from possible damage. This check is performed even if the pump is turned off.
To confirm the problem, verify that public variable
pump_tmpr_OK = False
.
This variable is set to
True
if the valve temperature is within its operating
range (0 to 55 °C) and is set to
False
if it is outside this range.
The variable
pump_tmpr_OK
is not available for diagnosing a problem using
data saved in the output tables (
Flux
or
Zero_Span)
. Instead, check the value
of
PumpTmprOK_Avg
. This is a floating point number that represents the
fraction of time (from 0 to 1) that
pump_tmpr_OK
is true during the
averaging period. A value of 1 indicates no pump temperature problem at any
