6. Operating LC 221 controller 6.1 Description of display The display of the LC 221 level controller is shown in fig. 11. Fig. 11 LC 221 display The table below describes the symbols shown in the display as well as the corresponding functions and indications. Symbol Function Description...
Page 11
Symbol Function Description In automatic mode, faults are indicated by means of a code, and in normal operation these two values are shown: • the liquid level in the tank, if the pump is not running • the current consumption, if the pump is running. If both pumps are running, the current consumption shown is the value for both pumps.
6.2 Setup menu The following settings can be made: • start level All settings are preset except for the start level. The start level depends on the inlet height and must be set during the start-up • rated current phase. See section 8.4 Setting of LC 221.
6.3 Information menu In the information menu the following data can be read: • fault indications All status data and fault indications can be seen in the information menu. The information menu can be seen in all operating modes • operating hours (ON-OFF-AUTO).
6.4 Description of fault indications If a fault occurs, the symbol will be visible, an audible alarm will be given by the buzzer and the fault code will be written by means of the 14-segment characters in the display. To see the kind of fault, if it is automatically reset and the code is not longer visible, open the fault log (see fig.
Page 15
If a fault occurs, the red LED will flash, the symbol will be visible and the fault will be added to the fault log. Furthermore,Hthe buzzer will be activated, the symbol will be visible, the corresponding symbols will flash and the fault code will be displayed.
7. Installation of lifting station 7.1 General description When installing the Multilift MD or MLD lifting station, make sure that all local regulations covering venting, access to the stations, etc. are observed. 7.1.1 Installation sketches Fig. 15 Installation sketch, Multilift MD Fig.
7.2 Guidelines for installation of lifting station 7.3 Procedure for installation of lifting station The guidelines for correct mechanical installation of lifting station 7.3.1 Inlet pipe connections, Multilift MD are according to EN 12056-4. 1. Check the scope of delivery. See section 7.1.1 Installation sketches.

4. Prepare the connection for diaphragm pump (optional). Use cup drill, ∅43, for DN 50 connection socket. To avoid sharp cutting edges, the hole must be deburred. Fig. 19 Untightened screw in outer ring Multilift MD lifting stations are supplied with loose screws in the outer ring of the turnable inlet disk.
7.3.2 Inlet pipe connections, Multilift MLD 4. Fix the tank to the floor. 1. Check the scope of delivery. For scope of delivery, see section 2. Scope of delivery. 2. Prepare the ∅150 inlet. Use a cup drill ∅150 to drill out the hole along the recessed line.
8.4 Setting of LC 221 Only the start level corresponding to the inlet level to the collecting tank needs to be set. All other values are preset but can be adjusted if required. Select the height of the inlet pipe, 180, 250 or 315 mm above floor level, using the buttons , and press the button to save the desired value.
When the pumps is mounted again, we recommend to replace the O-ring between pump and tank. Make a test run with clean water. In case of noise, vibration or abnormal running, contact Grundfos. • Ball bearings Check the shaft for noisy or heavy operation. Replace defective ball bearings.
10.1 Mechanical maintenance • Remove possible deposits and/or sludge build-up in the collecting tank. • Remove any blockages on the inlet side of the lifting station. A blockage will typically be a large solid object. • Check and replace the gaskets of connections at valves, etc., if necessary.
If Grundfos is requested to service the lifting station, Grundfos must be contacted with details about the pumped liquid, etc. before the lifting station is returned for service. Otherwise Grundfos can refuse to accept the lifting station for service.
The lifting station is undersized. Recalculate the inflow parameters and compare with the size and pumping volume of the lifting station. Contact the nearest Grundfos sales company for ordering a new product if needed. 3. The pump(s) is/are a) The level sensor fails. The sensor gives wrong...
