Closing the cover WARNING! Before performing any work on the module, make sure that the pump and module electricity supply has been switched off and that it cannot be accidently switched Reconnect display panel cable. Make sure that the position tab and position slot are aligned.
4. CONTROL MODES AND PRIORITIES 4.1. PRIORITY OF SETTINGS Several signals will influence the pump operation. For this reason, settings have priorities as shown in the table below. If two or more functions are active at the same time, the one with highest priority will take precedence. Pump control panel &...
4.3. MODULE MODE SELECTION WARNING! Before performing any work on the module, make sure that the pump and module electricity supply has been switched off and that it cannot be accidently switched on. There is a mode selection rotary switch in the terminal box. It can be rotated by gently inserting a screwdriver into the arrow mark on top and rotating the switch to desired value.
4.4. MODE 1 (2..10V) Mode 1 is most often used mode of operation. It has 2 pre-prepared inputs that can be used for either digital control or with analog control voltages. Additional 10.5V output provides voltage feedback for analog or digital control.

5. RELAY OUTPUT Terminal Terminal description designation MODE Mode selection rotary switch. Used to show and configure mode of operation for relay. LED1 / LINK Slowly blinking when module is powered, permanently lid when link established LED2 / ACT Flashing yellow when data reception detected. Combined (OR) with Modbus data reception indication Normally closed relay contact.
6. RS-485 BUS 6.1. RS-485 RELATED INTERFACE Designation Description MODE Can be used to reset network configuration LED2 / ACT Indicates Ethernet or RS-485 activity. B/D- RS-485 negative data signal. A/D+ RS-485 positive data signal. COM/0V RS-485 common and analog input common (ground). 6.2.
6.6. TERMINATION NMTC module contains neither termination nor bias circuitry. RS-485 wiring should be externally terminated if needed. For short wiring and/or low baud rate, interface can operate without termination. However, it is recommended that termination (100-150 ohm resistor) is added on both ends of bus wiring. There are wiring length limits regarding to speed and termination: Maximum speed [baud] Maximum cable length [m]...
