CONTROL PCB TERMINAL CONNECTIONS: The control terminal connection varies based on the app INSTALLATION - DRAINAGE: TERMINALS Using one float switch Start condition: If the liquid level in the pit/tank rises, ie. Float A is in up position. Panel will start pump A.
Page 12
Using two float switches Start condition: If the liquid level in the pit/tank rises, ie. Float A is in up position. Panel will start pump A. Panel will alternate between pump A and pump B after previous cycle is completed. LCD screen will display RUN whichever pump in running. If the liquid level in the pit/tank rises even further after first pump is running ie.

DIP SWITCH SETTINGS Users can set the function switch to suit different applications. Before setting the function switch, the unit should be disconnected from the power supply. After completing the settings of dip switches, power may be applied to the unit. The symbol corresponding to the application will be displayed on the LCD Screen.

Start condition: If the water level in source tank is high and the float switch A in the source tank is in up position and the Pressure in the line is below the cut-in pressure setting on the pressure switch A the pump starts. Panel will alternate between pump A and pump B, when previous demand cycle is completed, and pump(s) have stopped.
DANGER Electric shock risk. Before carrying out any installation or maintenance operation, the controller should be disconnected from the power supply and the person should wait at least 2 minutes before opening the controller. Never connect AC power to output L1 & N1 / L2 & N2 terminals. Ensure the motor, controller and power specifications match.

Using 3 Float switch (one float in UG tank, two floats in OH tank) Start condition: If water level in UG tank is high ie. Float A is up and water level in OH tank is low ie. Float B is down, panel will start pump A. Panel will alternate between pump A and pump B, after previous cycle is completed.
DANGER Electric shock risk. Before carrying out any installation or maintenance operation, the controller should be disconnected from the power supply and one should wait at least 2 minutes before opening the controller. Never connect AC power to output L1&N1 / L2&N2 terminals. Ensure the motor, controller and power specifications.

OPERATION BEFORE YOU START - Parameter calibration and erasing To achieve best level of protection of the pump, it is essential that parameter calibration be done immediately after successful pump installation or pump maintenance. PARAMETER CALIBRATION: Pump/s must be able to pump water to enable correct calibration. If pumps are calibrated without water, overload and pump stalled errors may occur Press the A START...
ERASING FORMER PARAMETERS: When pump is reinstalled after maintenance or a new pump is installed, user must erase the former calibration and a new calibration must be done. ERASING THE PARAMETER CALIBRATION: 2. Press the A STOP key for 3 seconds; 1.
SWITCH TO MANUAL MODE: To switch from Auto mode to manual mode, and if the controller is under Auto screen lock, then press MODE and STORE button simultaneously until the countdown timer stops and mode switches back to manual. Press the START key to start the pump and the STOP key to stop the pump.
NOTE: The failure displayed above is PUMP STALLED. Repeat for pump B by using B STOP key. PUMP ACCUMLATIVE RUNNING TIME: The controller can memorize how many hours that pump has run, so it is very convenient for the pump user to analyze the pump running conditions and do maintenance.
COMMUNICATION LINK The controller has communication interface, between the pump controller and computer/SCADA/BMS, users can realize a long-distance monitoring function. This function applies to where the controller is installed in the basement or pumping room, but users require to monitor and control the pump on the ground or in a control room.
TECHNICAL PARAMETER: The following chart shows main technical parameters of communication between the pump controller and Computer/SCADA/BMS. Main Technical Data Physical interface RS485 Bus Interface: asynchronous semi duplex 1 start bit, 8 data bit, 1 stop bit, no verify Data format 1 start bit, 8 data bit, 2 stop bit, no verify Default: 1 start bit, 8 data bit, 1 stop bit, no verify 1200,2400,4800,9600 bps (default 9600bps)
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE Fault message Possible cause Solutions The real running voltage is Report low line voltage to the Flashing of UNDER V lower than the set voltage, power supply company. pump is in under voltage protection state. Control will attempt to restart the pump every 5 min until line voltage is restored to normal.
