Decommissioning Pumps - MultiTrode MultiSmart Installation & Operation Manual

MultiSmart Installation & Operation Manual
13.3.1 Maximum Groups Running
Maximum Groups Running can be used to control the number of groups running when there is more than
one group (default is 1, i.e. only pumps in the same group can run).
For example, for an installation containing jockey pumps and flood pumps, it is usual to ensure the jockey
pumps are never running at the same time as the flood pumps. To achieve this, go to Maximum Groups
Running, enable Block running pumps and set the Quantity to 1.
These settings turns off group 1 (the jockey pumps) whenever group 2 starts (the flood pumps). This means
the jockey pumps will never run at the same time as the flood pumps.
13.3.2 Pump Logic in Multi-well Mode
In the case of independent wells, the two wells simply operate as two independent entities with the pumps
allocated to a particular well operating dependent on the level in that well.
In the case of hydraulically connected wells, the pump control module is more complex. If alternation is
enabled (the default), each pump in turn will start regardless of which well it is in, based on the highest level
in either well. Deactivation of a pump is dependent on the level in the well where the pump is located. This is
to prevent problems with equalization between the two wells allowing a well to run dry while a pump is still
operating.

13.4 Decommissioning Pumps

Individual pumps can be decommissioned. This prevents the pump from running under any circumstances,
and also displays a "Decommissioned" notice under the pump on the main operator display. To
decommission a pump, navigate to the Commission/Decommission Pumps screen:
Pump Current
Pump 1 Commissioned
Pump 2 Commissioned
Pump 3 Commissioned
Note:
The system will be rebooted to make your changes.
You might want to turn off all pumps before going
through this process.
