The alarm relay can be configured to close its contacts if one of ten fault
conditions are encountered. The auto restart function in the IPG20 can be
set to shut the pump down and restart after a delay time if one of eight
fault conditions occur. The way the alarm relay responds to a fault and the
way the controller in general responds to a fault are independent of each
other.
It is therefore perfectly practical to have the controller shut down and either
remain shut down or wait and automatically restart due to one fault condition
while the alarm relay responds to a separate condition. For example, you
could set the alarm relay to only close its contacts if the pump ran dry, and
have the pump only automatically restart if it shut down due to low pressure.
When the IPG20 is running the pump normally with flow present and with a
line pressure that is in between the high-pressure and low-pressure trip
points, the IPG20 displays information about the system on its screen. The
screen displays your high and low pressure trip points in kPa. It also
displays the current dynamic pressure in the pipe.
At a glance you can see precisely what the system is doing and where the
pressure is in relation to your pressure trip points. In addition the IPG20
displays the flow status as a green or red flow light on its top deck and the
state of the pump, red for stopped and green for running. If a remote input is
connected between the LV and R terminals of the IPG20 and the external
switch is closed, the blue remote input light on the top deck of the IPG20
will also be on.
Total run time includes all peripheral times such as run-on and pressure dip
time and the initial flow start and pressure start times. It also includes run
time incurred during cyclic running. The run time display has a range of
1 minute to 9999 minutes (about 7 days). The run time display automatically
resets to zero each time the pump starts. The total run time display
accumulates time at all times the pump is running. The total run time display
is only reset to zero by a power interruption or by pressing the
(R)
reset
button on the IPG20.
