21.1.2
Configuration B (Recommended)
In this configuration the Pump Station receives the level over a direct communications link with the Reservoir
Monitor. This is the preferred configuration.
The Pump Station must be configured as a DNP Master (choosing remote level and configuration B for the
pump station will ensure this is the case).

Configuration C
This configuration is also used when there is no direct communications link between the Pump Station and
the Reservoir Monitor. In this mode the Pump Station will establish a second connection to the DNP3 Master
(MTU) in order to retrieve levels from the Reservoir Monitor.
This configuration can be used instead of Configuration A when there is no redundant MTU available.
When using this configuration Connection Manager must be enabled on the Pump Station. The Pump
Station must also be configured as a DNP Master (choosing remote level and configuration B for the pump
station will ensure this is the case).

NOTE:
Connection manager is functionality which should be enabled as standard on the MultiSmart. Check
the software modules screen to ensure this is the case.
21.2 User Interface
The Reservoir Monitor user interface mirrors the Pump Controller, with all the pump functionality and options
removed. This ensures that menu options are always in the same place for both products to make training of
operations staff more effective.
Settings Menu options still available on the Reservoir Monitor:

Questions and answers
I have four pumps connected to my multi smart. One jockey and three that rotate with the jockey as needed. My problem is that the jockey pump always shows its running even when it isn't running. the other pumps show actuate run times and starts. only the main pump shows continuous run even when it is turned off. I was wondering if there any advice I could be given to resolve this issue.
The MultiTrode MultiSmart may show the jockey pump as continuously running even when it is turned off due to the "External Run" status. This occurs if the pump is started by an external control method, such as a manual override switch, where the contactor remains closed but no run command was sent by the controller. As a result, the system continues updating run time statistics and generating relevant faults or warnings. Checking for an external control signal or a stuck contactor may help resolve the issue.
