Source 2. Pressing “Motor Bump” will start a five (5) second
countdown timer and, once elapsed, will bump the motor for
a period of one (1) second. If spinning correctly, the controller
will save the phase reversal setpoint into the programming. If
the motor is not spinning correctly, the controller will provide
a prompt on the necessary changes required.
5.3.3 Flow test
Records the voltage, current, pressure, and flow (if
equipped) for a given flow rate. This information is stored in
the Startup file that can be downloaded onto a USB drive or
viewed through the History/Statistics/Diagnostics tab.
5.3.4 Manual/Automatic start
Records the number of times and the duration of each run,
both via Automatic and Manual means into the Startup file.
Manual Starts provides a Start and Stop button on screen
to initiate manual calls to start. The screen will show the
voltage, frequency, current, and pressure along with the
number of starts.
Automatic Starts provides a “Drop Pressure” button that will
energize the drain valve solenoid to drop pressure within the
sensing line. When the controller registers a low pressure
condition, the drain valve will close, and the controller will
initiate an automatic call-to-start. If activating the drain valve
solenoid is not ideal, the user can manually drop pressure
from the sensing line to achieve the same outcome.
If equipped with an ATS, means are provided on both
Manual and Automatic Start screens to start the generator
and transfer over to the secondary source without having to
drop out normal power.
5.3.5 Test alarm
Buttons are used to trigger specific output relays to verify
alarm connections and general operation of the relay. The
relay will stay latched until either the button is depressed
again or until the user leaves the screen.
5.3.6 USB download
Allows the user to save the statistics, diagnostics, message
history, startup, and configuration files to a USB device.
5.4 Panel setup tab
Refer to Appendix C for the menu structure of the Panel
Setup tab.
5.4.1 Language
Nine (9) languages are offered as standard: English, French,
Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Polish, Dutch, and
Turkish. Refer to Appendix B for programming.
5.4.2 Set time
Factory set to Mountain Standard Time (MST). This menu
item allows the user to adjust the time in a 24-hour format.
5.4.3 Set date
Factory set but allows the user to adjust if needed.
5.4.4 Set day of the week
Factory set but allows the user to adjust if needed.
5.4.5 Starting method
Used to differentiate what starting method the controller
what built to. Changing the starting method also adjusts
the acceleration timer. The acceleration timer can be further
adjusted in the Timer Values tab. These are the default
acceleration timer for each Starting Method:
Across the Line –
Disabled
Part winding –
2 Seconds
Primary resistor –
2 Seconds
Autotransformer –
2 Seconds
Wye delta open –
2 Seconds
Wye delta closed –
2 Seconds
Soft start –
4 Seconds
5.4.6 Single phase start
Factory disabled. If disabled, the controller will not allow
starting if a single-phase condition is present; this will not
shut down the motor if it has registered a valid pump run
condition prior to the single-phase condition. If enabled, the
controller will attempt to start the motor if a single-phase
condition is present.
5.4.7 Auto shutdown
The automatic shutdown mode is user selectable; factory
disabled. If the automatic shutdown mode is disabled, the
pump motor must be stopped via the local stop pushbutton,
whether or not the motor started via an automatic start. If
the automatic shutdown mode is enabled, the controller will
stop the pump motor automatically after all starting causes
have been returned to normal (stop pressure has been
achieved) and the running period timer elapsed.
5.4.8 Controller HP
Factory set. Used to set motor HP.
5.4.9 Nominal voltage
Factory set. Used to set the nominal system voltage. This
value will also be used to determine any under voltage or
overvoltage conditions, as well as phase loss conditions.
