The combinations of pumps and their rated capacities are selected in this parameter. The lead pump (or fan) with the cascade contol option must have a capacity of 100% and its speed is controlled by the VLT adjustable frequency drive. This enables the highest accuracy in regulation of the system. - Page 40 (STAGING BANDW%) Value: 1 - 100% Function: In cascade control systems, to avoid frequent switching of fixed speed pumps, the desired system pressure is typically kept within a bandwidth rather than at a constant level. The staging bandwidth (SBW) is programmed as a percentage of the setpoint (desired pressure).
