CentriPro Aquavar IPC Start-Up Genie INTRODUCTION The proprietary Start-Up Genie guides you through quick and easy commissioning. Take advantage of the complete Genie with 11 sections to configure applications with pump protections, I/O options, and communications. For the more straightforward applications set your motor information and operation mode and “Autoset”...
CentriPro Aquavar IPC Start-Up Genie CHAPTER 1: MOTOR Allows configuration of the motor parameters; HP, Voltage, Nominal Frequency, Nominal Speed, Motor Current, Motor Service Factor, and Motor Type. The Motor information for these settings are found on the motor nameplate. The Start-Up Genie will begin automatically after the initial power up (Screen 2) or it can be engaged by selecting Start-Up Genie under Quick Menus.
CentriPro Aquavar IPC Start-Up Genie CHAPTER 2: APPLICATION Allows the user to configure varying operating modes, units, and ramps. Changing operating modes will overwrite drive or motor size independent parameters. OPERATING MODE: 2.1. Single Pump (default): 1 pump/1 controller for constant pressure, level control, or flow control applications •...
CentriPro Aquavar IPC Start-Up Genie CHAPTER 2: APPLICATION (continued) • Medium = 10s accelerate and 5s decelerate. • Slow = 20s accelerate and 10s decelerate 2.2. Constant Slave: 1 variable speed pump with controller and up to 2 constant speed lag pumps (Lag pumps will need a separate starting device) •...
CentriPro Aquavar IPC Start-Up Genie CHAPTER 2: APPLICATION (continued) 2.3. Duplex Control: 2 variable speed pumps each with its own controller • PRESSURE CONTROL UNITS: Select the appropriate control units for the application (psi, bar, etc.) • RAMP TIME: The Ramp Time is the time to transition from stop to full speed. •...
CentriPro Aquavar IPC Start-Up Genie CHAPTER 2: APPLICATION (continued) 2.4. Speed Control: Receives a speed command from an external source. • SPEED REFERENCE SOURCE: Set the source for the speed command. For analog inputs 53 and 54. Be sure to properly set the configuration switches A53 and A54 behind the keypad.
CentriPro Aquavar IPC Start-Up Genie CHAPTER 3: FEEDBACK Feedback Setup allows the configuration of analog inputs (sensors) and other feedback sources. • Control Feedback Sources: Select the number of feedbacks that are used to controlling the process variable. The feedbacks referred to are for control, not for monitoring.
CentriPro Aquavar IPC Start-Up Genie CHAPTER 4: SETPOINT This setup allows configuration of up to 2 setpoints. • Number of set points: Select the number of setpoints used in the application. If multiple setpoints are used, the setpoint can be selected by the state of DI 33. •...
CentriPro Aquavar IPC Start-Up Genie CHAPTER 5: FLOW COMPENSATION (continued) • At No Flow Speed: Set the pressure value corresponding to speed at no flow. • Pressure at Rated Speed: Set the pressure value corresponding to pressure at rated speed. •...

CentriPro Aquavar IPC Start-Up Genie CHAPTER 6: PUMP PROTECTION (continued) • No Water/Loss of Prime Protection Delay: The No Water/Loss of Prime Delay time sets the time delay between detection of a No Water/Loss of Prime condition and when the fault is issued. The pump must be running at maximum speed while the HP is less that the No Water/Loss of Prime Limit to start the delay timer.
CentriPro Aquavar IPC Start-Up Genie CHAPTER 7: DIGITAL INPUT This setup allows configuration of the digital inputs. • Terminal 19, 27, and 33 Digital Input: If not already set for Pump Protection or Dual Setpoint, select the function from the available digital input range. Option Function Option...
CentriPro Aquavar IPC Start-Up Genie CHAPTER 8: RELAY AND ANALOG OUTPUT SETUP This setup allows configuration of the relay and analog outputs. • Relay Function: To modify the relay function, first press OK and use the up and down arrows to select the correct index. Selecting [0] allows modification of Relay 1, [1] allows modification of Relay 2.
CentriPro Aquavar IPC Start-Up Genie CHAPTER 9: COMMUNICATION This setup configures the on board fieldbus communications. • Protocol: Select the protocol for the FC port. (Terminals 61,68,69) • BACnet • Modbus RTU • FLN • FC MC • Metasys N2 •...
