MultiSmart Installation & Operation Manual
5.4.1.1
Pump Mode
The buttons located next to each pump are used to switch the pump into Manual (Hand), Off, or Auto modes.
•
Auto – In this mode a pump starts when the activation setpoint is reached. The pump automatically
stops when the deactivation setpoint is reached.
•
Off – This turns a pump off, so pump run commands are ignored by the off pump regardless of level.
In order to meet security requirements, the Off mode can be disabled from the advanced menu. (If
changed while the pump is already in the Off mode, it stays off until the mode changes).
•
Manual (Hand) – is semi-automatic manual, as the mode returns automatically to Auto when the
deactivation setpoint of the pump is reached.
unintentionally).
A pump is placed into Full Manual mode as follows: when the pump is in Off mode, instead of just
briefly pressing the Auto/Off/Manual button, press and hold it on. This puts the pump into Full
Manual mode for as long as the button is pressed.
5.4.1.2
Running Status
The Running Status of each pump appears to the right of the Pump Name. The various states are:
•
Stopped – Pump is stopped
•
Starting in x seconds – Pump is about to start and a delay is counting down
•
Running – Pump is running
•
Stopping in x seconds – Pump is about to stop and a delay is counting down
•
Next to Run – Indicates the next pump to run. (Not applicable in multiple well configurations).
•
Request to Run – The controller is waiting for the feedback from the contactor. (A contactor
auxiliary is wired in and the command to run a pump has been sent).
•
External Run - If the pump is started by an external control method (for example, via a manual
override switch), the contactor will be closed but no run command would have been sent by the
controller, hence External Run is displayed. The MultiSmart continues to update the pump run time
statistics and other relevant historical data. As well, the relevant faults and warnings are generated.
•
Reversing in x seconds – The pump is about to reverse
•
Reversing for x seconds – The pump is currently being reversed
•
Decommissioned – The pump has been taken out of service
5.4.1.3
Availability Status
The Availability of each pump is displayed below the Running Status. The states are:
•
Available – There are no current faults for this pump. The pump is available to run (this condition
does not consider the mode of the pump, so if the pump is OFF, the pump will not run).
•
Unavailable – A fault is present or a fault requires manual acknowledgment.
•
Hold Out – The text," Hold Out" flashes indicating a fault is present and the pump is unavailable.
•
Inhibit – Station or individual pump inhibited from SCADA
5.4.1.4
Fault Status
The Fault Status of each pump is displayed below the Availability Status. The states are:
•
Fault Present
•
Ack Required – A fault condition has cleared and is not holding out the pump, but requires
acknowledgement.
•
Reset Required – A fault condition has cleared and is holding out the pump, so requires reset (see
Section 5.4.2).
•
Reset in x sec – A fault condition has cleared and the pump will auto-reset when the countdown is
complete.
