Command Description Pump State Control Mode (before after) (before after) Response “#A0” If pump does not receive any command, e.g. a status query "s", for 30 seconds it will automatically return to manual mode. Your application sends this to move the pump ERROR out of ERROR state and back into IDLE.

    The Dolomite Centre Ltd. Field Description Current flow rate in pl/s. Requires a connected Mitos Sensor Display flow meter. Note the actual accuracy is given by flow sensor type below. Contact Dolomite Support for more information on this feature. Target flow rate in pl/s. Requires a connected Mitos Sensor Display flow meter. Contact Dolomite Support for more information on this feature.
  • Page 12 The Dolomite Centre Ltd. The ERROR state must be explicitly cleared by sending the “C” command and subsequently confirming the state with “s”. Below is a diagram showing where the pressure target errors come into force for systems with positive and negative supply pressures.

    The Dolomite Centre Ltd. seen above, so when converting these values for display you need to convert the units from pl/s to the units for the flow sensor in the table above and then pay attention to the number of decimal places it supports.
