8 Basic configurations of the pressure booster system The control unit controls several pump sets according to the configured setpoint and bandwidth. Pump sets are started up and stopped when the current discharge pressure is not within the bandwidth arranged symmetrically below and above the setpoint. When none of the pump sets of the pressure booster system are running, the first pump set is started up immediately as soon as the current discharge pressure sinks below the setpoint minus half the bandwidth.
The Operating Mode (parameter 1-1-2-3) has to be set to Operation on frequency inverter and the Frequency Control Type (parameter 1-1-2-5) has to be set to Single-pump operation . Pump Groups (parameter 1-1-2-6) has to be set to Pump-group control. The Frequency Inverter Type (parameter 1-1-2-4) has to be selected.
8.4.5 Pump operating mode Pump operating The operating mode (manual-0-automatic) can be selected on the screen or via an external mode switch. The source has to be configured (parameter 1-1-5-1). The pump operating mode for each pump set can then be separately set to "Manual-ON", "Manual-OFF" and "Automatic". Mains-operated pump sets that have been started manually run at full nominal speed;...
8.5.4 Functional check run Functional check run A Check Run can be activated for the pump set (parameter 2-4-4-1), so the pump set starts up regularly if it has not been operated for a defined period of time. The Function can be triggered by different sources (parameter 2-4-4-2).
operated on frequency inverters (parameter 2-4-1-4). The Options are Stop all pumps, Freeze number of pumps running and speed or Run a specific number of pump sets at fixed speed (parameter 2-4-1-6). 8.6.3 Discharge pressure monitoring Discharge pressure The current discharge pressure is monitored continuously. When the pressure falls below monitoring the configured Maximum Discharge Pressure (parameter 2-5-5-1-1) or exceeds the configured Minimum Discharge Pressure (parameter 2-5-5-2-1), a message is output after a...
8.7 Hygiene functions and special functions 8.7.1 Temperature monitoring Temperature When Temperature Monitoring is Enabled (parameter 2-5-3-2-1), the temperature is monitoring measured by a thermometer. The temperature measurement input has to be configured for this purpose (parameter 1-3-5). The Response to the temperature exceeding the Maximum Temperature (parameter 2-5-3-2-2) or falling below the Minimum Temperature (parameter 2-5-3-2-3) can be selected as only a Message or, in addition, Flushing of the pressure booster system (parameter 2-5-3-2-4).
Critical Water Level (parameter 2-7-1-2-10) can be set. With High-water Level (parameter 2-7-1-2-16) and Level for Reset High-water Level (parameter 2-7-1-2-15) a warning for a possible tank overflow can be set. 8.9.3 Tank filling Tank filling Tank filling is controlled by the two fill levels Start Tank Filling Level (parameter 2-7-1-2-11) and Stop Tank Filling Level (parameter 2-7-1-2-14).
be set to Mains operation. Pump Groups (parameter 1-1-2-6) has to be set to Pump-group and jockey-pump control . For switching between jockey pump and base load pump group Over-/Undersupply (parameter 2-4-3-1) can be selected and the Time of Over-/Undersupply (parameter 2-4-3-2) can be set.
Ø Prevent the device from being re-started unintentionally when carrying out any maintenance and installation work.
