Operating principle An Iwaki ST-900N stroke setter is designed for use with the Iwaki AX metering pumps with a servo unit. The setter controls the stroke length of the AX pumps in proportion to 4-20mADC or 1-5VDC signal from user's controller (proportional control).
Operational functions Manual mode ■ Real-time SL adjustment Use the UP and DOWN keys to change a stroke length in operation (MAN mode). Stroke length changes only while either key is pressed. The "INC" LED lights when the stroke length extends and the "DEC" LED lights when the stroke length retracts.
Adjustment/Correction functions ■ Stroke length cognition Give the ST setter the 0% and 100% stroke length positions through keypad operation. See page 25 for detail. The setter automatically behaves to store the positions. Perform stroke length cognition every time the setter is used with a unrecognized AX pump, the electric servo unit is repaired, or a displayed stroke length differs from the actual length.
Control functions (Auto mode) ■ Inversely proportional line With this setting "ON", the ST setter controls the stroke length inversely proportional to the 4-20mA(/1-5V) signal from a user controller. See page 27 for detailed procedure. Use this function along with the proportional line programming below as necessary (e.g.
■ Upper/Lower limit setting Set the upper or lower limit of the proportional line in between 0 and 100%. See page 32 for detail. The up- per limit is provided to control the discharge pressure not to exceed the piping limit pressure. The lower limit is provided to keep the minimum flow rate at any signal current/voltage (user controller).

• Check that power voltage is turned off. The ST setter is still charged right after turning off power. Wait for one minute before wiring. ST-900N Remove the terminal cover. Terminal cover Connect the power, earth and signal wires to the ST setter.
End terminals Observe the electric diagram shown on the terminal cover at the back of the ST-900N enclosure. Use M3 screws to fix each wire connection. ■ Input signal (4-20mA/1-5V) Connect the lead wires from user's controller to the terminal pin 17(+) and 18(-). Input resistance is 75Ω...
Power voltage/Earthing Points to be checked • Check that power voltage is turned off. Connect power cable via crimp contacts. Earth the pumps. NOTE • Do not share a power source with a high power device which may generate surge voltage. Otherwise an elec- tronic circuit may fail.
Electric servo unit Connect wires via bell mouths to respective terminals according to terminal codes. Do not tense wires by exter- nal force. Always use suitable wring tools for wiring. Observe local electric codes. Points to be observed • The servo motor may suffer an overload if the pump motor is turned off first. To avoid overloading, use a PLC or sequencer to turn off either the ST setter or the servo unit, or just to stop the control signal (terminal pin 15 and 16) as turning off a pump motor.
Operation This section describes setter operation and programming. Run the pump with the ST setter after pipework and wiring is completed. Before operation First check piping and wiring are correct. And then make commissioning before starting op- eration. Points to be checked Before operation, check if...

Programming flow * The ST setter enters the MAN mode when turning on power with a default setting. Local control 3 sec Keypad lock (P35) Control switching Man mode (P38) Auto mode (P37) No voltage contact/ Open collector signal Remote control (P35) (AUTO mode only) Menu mode SL cognition(P25)
Menu mode Change the default setting as necessary. Always push the SET/ENT key to enter the new setting. Or push the MENU key to cancel. ■ Stroke length cognition Give the ST setter the 0% and 100% stroke length positions. Stroke length cognition is required every time the ST setter is used with a unrecognized AX pump, the electric servo unit is repaired, or the displayed stroke length differs from the actual length.
■ Input current/voltage correction The ST setter can correct its reading at 4mA(/1V) and 20mA(/5V) according to the signal current/voltage from a user controller to the terminal pin 17(+) and 18(-). Take the following steps every time a user controller is changed or the input is switched between signal current and signal voltage.
■ Inversely proportional line selection Follow the procedure below to control the stroke length inversely proportional to 4-20mA(/1-5V) input. This set- ting is available only in Auto mode. Proportional line (with "off") Inversely proportional line (with "on") Stroke Stroke length length (mA) (mA)
■ Proportional line programming The default setting proportional line of 4-20mA(0-100%) can be changed by means of proportional band set- ting ("P.B."), Current-Stroke setting ("2P" and "I.IN"). These setting are effective in AUTO mode only. Select "SLOP" and push the SET/ENT key. Use the UP and DOWN keys to cycle through the Slope menu and the SET/ENT key to enter the desired setting mode.

Proportional band setting A proportional control band can be changed in between 15 and 670%. The factory default setting is 100%. Change the percentage as necessary (e.g. two-value separate control). A proportional band is calculated by the following formula (convert a signal current/voltage into %. e.g. 4mA = 0%, 20mA = 100%): Proportional band = Signal current/voltage (%) ÷...

Current-Stroke setting ("2P") Set the maximum (or minimum) stroke length "HI:SL" (or "LO:SL") and the maximum (or minimum) signal cur- rent/voltage (user controller) to "HI:I" (or "LO:I") in order to determine the optimal proportional control line. Note the "HI:SL" and "HI:I" must be higher then "LO:SL" and "LO:I". Use the UP and DOWN keys to determine the maximum stroke length and push the SET/ENT key, Use the UP and DOWN keys to determine the maximum...
Page 31
Current-Stroke setting ("I.IN") Choose the maximum (or minimum) stroke length "HI:SL" (or "LO:SL") and input the maximum (or minimum) signal current/voltage (user controller) to "HI:I" (or "LO:I") via the terminal pin 17 (plus) and 18 (minus). Note the "HI:SL" and "HI:I" must be higher then "LO:SL" and "LO:I". Use the UP and DOWN keys to determine the maximum stroke length and push the SET/ENT key.
■ Upper/Lower limit setting Set the allowable maximum and minimum stroke length for proportional control. The upper limit can be set in between 70 and 100% to control the discharge pressure not to exceed the piping limit pressure. The lower limit can be set in between 0-50% to keep the minimum flow rate at any signal current/voltage (user controller).
■ Real-time SL adjustment/Target SL setting flow rate is manually set in two different ways, the real-time SL adjustment and the target SL setting. The former is the main way of flow rate adjustment and is the factory default setting. Take the following step to se- lect the latter and see page 38 for setting procedure.
■ Operating history (Setting confirmation) The ST setter can shows operating history such as total power connection days from being shipped (ALL.T) or last defaulted (ACT.T) and recalls the previous setting of an inversely proportional line, a proportional band ("P.B."), Current-Stroke ("2P" and "I.IN"), upper/lower limit and control signal. Select "MEMO"...
Other settings ■ Keypad lock Keypad can be active for the prevention of erroneous key operation. Push the MAN/AUTO key for 3 seconds. 3 sec 3 sec Any keypad operation becomes ineffective as "LOCK" indication is highlighted. Push the MAN/AUTO key for 3 seconds to deactivate keypad lock.
■ Servo unit control signal setting (AX mechanically-driven diaphragm pump) The allowable maximum (20mA) and minimum (4mA) current of the control signal, outputted through the ter- minal pin 15 (plus) and 16 (minus), must be changed depending on AX mechanically-driven diaphragm pumps. See the table below.

Operating conditions (Setting confirmation) In AUTO mode, the ST setter monitors the operating conditions of the 4-20mA(/1-5V) input via the terminal pin 17(plus) & 18(minus), the control signal output via the terminal pin 15 (plus) & 16 (minus), the target stroke length, and other settings.
