Motor cable CUE is a series of external frequency converters especially designed for pumps. Thanks to the start-up guide in the CUE, the installer can quickly Uncontrolled operation (open loop) set central parameters and put the CUE into operation. Controlled operation (closed loop) Connected to a sensor or an external control signal, the CUE will quickly adapt the pump speed to the actual demand.

The supply voltage and frequency are marked on the CUE nameplate. Make sure that the CUE is suitable for the power supply of the installation site. A mains switch can be installed before the CUE according to local regulations. See fig. 5. ELCB The wires in the terminal box must be as short as possible.

Access to signal terminals, A4, A5, B1, B2, B3, B4, C1, Required minimum connection, signal terminal C2, C3 and C4 The connection of a thermistor (PTC) in a motor to the CUE requires an external PTC relay. The requirement is based on the fact that the thermistor in the motor only has one layer of insulation to the windings.

The possible settings and the factory setting depend on the pump family. The CUE will give an alarm if the control mode selected requires a sensor and no sensor has been installed. To continue the setting without a sensor, select "Open loop", and proceed. When a sensor has been connected, set the sensor and control mode in menu INSTALLATION.

This test is not suitable for certain pump types and will in certain cases not be able to determine for certainty the correct direction of rotation. In these cases, the CUE changes over to manual setting where the direction of rotation is determined on the basis of the installer’s observations.

The menu makes it possible to return to the start-up guide, which is usually only used during the first start-up of the CUE. The pressure will be shown during the test if a pressure sensor is connected. The motor current is always shown during the test.
