6.1 Description of functions Control DDD is designed for water distribution networks. At the pumping station, the controller controls the pump speed based on actual flow rate and pressure. To optimise the proportional-pressure curve used by the controller, a number of remote sensors (up to ten) are installed at critical points in the distribution network, that is where stable pressure is required.
The nameplate is fitted on the control cabinet. The main pumps of the system must be of the same type and size. Type: 6.1.2 Control variant Model: Control DDD is divided into three groups based on control variant: Mains: Control Order NO.: Description variant...
