IntelliFloXF ™ and IntelliProXF
Pump Menu: Priming
Default: ENABLED
Allows pump to automatically detect if pump if is primed for startup. The pump will
ramp up to 1800 RPM and pause for three (3) seconds - if there is enough water in the
basket, the pump will go out of priming mode and run the commanded speed.
Default: 11 minutes
The maximum priming time can be set from 1 - 30 minutes. This setting is the amount of
time the pump will try to prime before it gives a priming error. If this occurs, fi ll the pump
basket with water and restart the pump.
Default: 1%
Priming sensitivity can be set from 1 - 100%. 1% means the pump is the most
sensitive to sensing if pump has attained prime. Increasing % will decrease amount of
fl ow needed for pump to sense prime.
Increase the % if the pump clearly has water in the basket but is having trouble coming
out of priming mode. Making this number too high can cause the pump to think it has
attained a prime when it has not.
Default: 20 seconds
Priming delay can be set from 1 second to 10 minutes.
If the pump does not have enough water after the automatic priming mode, the pump
will ramp to the Maximum Speed (under "Settings" on page 12) and run for 20 seconds
(or for the time set).
You may need to increase the priming delay to allow the system to stabilize before the
pump starts running speeds. If pump continues to show a priming error, increasing the
priming delay time might correct this issue.
