Flowrate

Flowrate alarms are available on LUT440 (OCM) model only. They can activate an alarm if
the OCM flowrate is above or below a given setpoint.
Example: Setting a High Flowrate Alarm
To assign Relay 3 to a high flowrate alarm that activates when the flowrate rises above 10
l/s:
1. Enable the High Flowrate Alarm (set Enable (2.8.9.1.) (Page 204) = Enabled).
2. Set High Flowrate Value ON (2.8.9.2.) (Page 204) = 10
3. Set High Flowrate Value OFF (2.8.9.3.) (Page 205) = 8
4. Set Assigned Relay (2.8.9.4.) (Page 205) to Relay 3
Example: Setting a Low Flowrate
Alarm To assign Relay 3 to a low level alarm that activates when the flowrate falls below 2
l/s:
1. Enable the Low Flowrate Alarm (set Enable (2.8.10.1.) (Page 205) = Enabled)
2. Set Low Flowrate Value ON (2.8.10.2.) (Page 205) = 2
3. Set Low Flowrate Value OFF (2.8.10.3.) (Page 206) = 4
4. Set Assigned Relay (2.8.10.4.) (Page 206) to Relay 3

Pump Control

The SITRANS LUT400 has the pump control functionality to solve nearly any water/waste
water application. To set up pump control for simple applications, see

Pump Control options

Methods of pump control are dependent on two variables:
Pump start method
Service Ratio setpoints.
Pump duty
(most common) or whether new pumps start and shut off currently running pumps; using
Assist or Backup duty.
