the time the leak detector was zeroed. If the leak detector screen displays
no starts and no run time, then no leak has occurred from the system in the
interim period. If the screen displays a number of starts and a total run time,
a leak has occurred and the magnitude of the leak can be assessed by
considering the total run time displayed and the capacity of the specific
pump. The leak detector can be used in any pressurised pumping system of
any size.
The F29 keeps track of how long a pump under its control runs for. The total
for any given run is displayed on the LCD screen each time the pump stops.
This information is displayed along with any other relevant information about
the state of the pump or the reason for the shutdown by alternating the
information at 5 second intervals on the LCD screen while the pump is off.
The time display is in minutes and it accumulates while ever the pump runs.
The time resets to zero each time the pump starts or the reset button is
pressed or each time power is reset.
The F29 includes an hour meter that keeps track of the total time a pump
runs for. The hour meter displays the total hours run for 2 seconds each time
the pump stops. It is viewable by watching the LCD screen carefully during
this 2 second period as the F29 shuts the pump down.
The hour meter can also be viewed and reset to zero from within the menu.
