17.6.3 "Proportional pressure"

The pump head is reduced at decreasing water demand and
increased at rising water demand. See fig. 37.
This control mode is especially suitable in systems with relatively
large pressure losses in the distribution pipes. The head of the
pump increases proportionally to the flow in the system to
compensate for the large pressure losses in the distribution
pipes.
The setpoint can be set with an accuracy of 0.33 ft (0.1 m).
The head against a closed valve is half the setpoint.
For more information about settings, see section
17.7 "Proportional-pressure setup".

17.6.4 "Constant pressure"
Pump variant
TPE3, TPE3 D
TPE2, TPE2 D
We recommend this control mode if the pump is to deliver a
constant pressure, independently of the flow in the system. The
pump maintains a constant pressure independently of the flow
rate. See fig. 39.

This control mode requires an external pressure sensor as shown
in the examples below. You can set the pressure sensor in the
Assist menu. See section 17.48 Assisted pump
Examples
• One external pressure sensor.
