Dry pump detection:
No Flow Detection
can also be used for detecting if the pump has run dry (low power consumption-high speed). Can be
used with both the integrated PI controller and an external PI controller.
The condition for Dry Pump signal:
-
Power consumption below no flow level
and
-
Pump running at maximum speed or maximum reference open loop, whichever is lowest.
The signal must be active for a set time (
) before selected the action takes place.
Possible Actions to select (
):
-
Warning
-
Alarm
No Flow Detection must be enabled (
) and commissioned (parameter group 22-3*,
No Power Tuning
).

, an auto set up sequence is
activated, automatically setting speed to approx.
50 and 85% of rated motor speed (
). At those two speeds, the power
consumption is automatically measured and
stored.
Before enabling Auto Set Up:
1.
Close valve(s) in order to create a no
flow condition
2.
The frequency converter must be set for
Open Loop (
Note that it is important also to set
.
NOTE
Auto Set Up must be done when the system has reached
normal operating temperature!
NOTE
It is important that the
4-13 Motor Speed High Limit [RPM]
or
4-14 Motor Speed High Limit [Hz]
is set to the max.

It is important to do the Auto Set-up before configuring
the integrated PI Contoller as settings will be reset when
changing from Closed to Open Loop in
NOTE
Carry out the tuning with the same settings in
, as for operation after the tuning.

Sleep Mode The drive will enter Sleep Mode and stop
when a No Flow condition is detected. See
parameter group 22-4* for programming
options for Sleep Mode.

Warning
The drive will continue to run, but activate a
No-Flow Warning [W92]. A drive digital output
or a serial communication bus can
communicate a warning to other equipment.

Alarm
The drive will stop running and activate a No-
Flow Alarm [A 92]. A drive digital output or a
serial communication bus can communicate
an alarm to other equipment.
