PARAMETER DESCRIPTIONS

BASIC SETTINGS

  • Enter Password
    If password protection has been enabled in the Password Setup menu, the user must enter the correct password to be allowed to change any settings. Once entered correctly, the settings are “unlocked” and may  be edited. After no inputs from the user for 5 minutes, these settings will become “locked” until the correct password is entered once again.

  • Pressure Setting
    Pressure Setting is the target pressure to be maintained at the pump discharge. It cannot exceed the maximum range of the pressure transducer.

  • Motor S.F. Amps
    The VFD’s electronic overload will signal an overload fault and protect the motor from damage in the event of an overload condition. Set the Motor S.F. Amps setting to the motor nameplate Service Factor Amps (SFA) for submersible pumps.

HMI SETUP

  • Color Theme
    This adjusts the colors used in the HMI display screens.

  • Password Setup
    When a password is set up, the user will only be able to view settings on the HMI but cannot change them, unless they first enter the correct password in the Enter Password menu. Set Password Setup to any 4- digit password 00-01 through 99-99 to enable this password protection. Be sure this is a password you will remember, or write the password down in a secure location for your future reference. Set Password  Setup to 00-00 to disable password protection. Note: When password protection is enabled, this setting will not be accessible until the user enters the correct password in the Enter Password setting.

ADVANCED SETTINGS

  • Start Pressure Diff.
    The Start Pressure Diff. is the amount of pressure drop from the Pressure Setting, at which the VFD will wake from sleep and run to maintain the system pressure. The pump will start if the pressure drops  below the Pressure Setting minus the Start Pressure Diff. Example: If the Pressure Setting is 40 PSI and the Start Pressure Diff. is 5 PSI, the pump will start when the pressure drops below 35 PSI.

  • High Pressure Alarm
    Set the High Pressure Alarm setting to the pressure at which the VFD output will shut off due to high system pressure. There is a 2 second delay before the VFD will activate the High Pressure Alarm. If system pressure drops below the High Pressure alarm setting for 10 seconds, the high pressure alarm will automatically reset and normal operation of the VFD will resume.

  • Low Pressure Alarm
    The Low Pressure Alarm will activate when both of the following conditions persist for the amount of time defined in Low Pressure Delay Time:

  1. The pump is running at Max. Frequency.
  2. The measured pressure is below the Low Pressure Alarm setting.
    This alarm will stop the pump, and must be manually reset. Set Low Pressure Alarm to “0” to disable the alarm.
  • Low Pressure Delay Time
    Delay before stopping the pump on Low Pressure Alarm (default 20 sec).

  • Dry Run Amps
    The Dry Run Amps alarm will activate when all three of the following conditions persist for the amount of time defined in Dry Run Delay Time:

  1. The pump is running at Max. Frequency.
  2. The measured pressure is below the Pressure setting.
  3. The pump current is below the Dry Run Amps setting.
    This alarm will stop the pump, and can be reset manually or automatically, depending on the Dry Run Reset Mode setting. While the above three conditions are true, a Dry Run warning will display on screen  showing a timer counting down to the Dry Run Alarm trip. Set Dry Run Amps to 0.00 to disable Dry Run detection.
  • Dry Run Delay Time
    Delay before stopping the pump on a Dry Run Alarm.

  • Dry Run Reset Mode
    If Dry Run Reset Mode is set to Auto Reset, once a Dry Run Alarm is active, a countdown timer will begin according to the Dry Run Recharge Time setting. After that timer reaches zero, the Dry Run alarm will  be cleared, and the pump will be allowed to run again. If Dry Run Reset Mode is set to Manual Reset, then the user must reset a Dry Run Alarm manually through the main screen.

  • Dry Run Recharge Time
    Delay before automatically re-starting the pump after a Dry Run Alarm.

  • Motor Voltage
    Set the Motor Voltage setting to the voltage rating found on the motor nameplate. This value must not exceed the voltage of the incoming power.

  • Sleep Frequency
    Set the Sleep Frequency to the frequency at which the pump no longer builds pressure when operating at or near the Set Pressure. The VFD will enter the “sleep” mode when the output frequency of the VFD  drops below the Sleep Frequency for a period of time (Sleep Time).

  • Sleep Time
    Set the Sleep Time to the amount of time that the VFD will wait before entering “Sleep”mode after the output frequency drops below the Sleep Frequency. Note: If the system cycles on and off too frequently, try  the following: increase the Sleep Time, lower the Sleep Frequency, or increase the Start Pressure Diff. A combination of changes of all three settings may be necessary. If the VFD does not enter “Sleep” mode  when there is no flow of water in the system, the Sleep Frequency must be increased.

  • Min. Frequency
    The Min Frequency should be set to the minimum output frequency that the pump should be allowed to run. Contact your pump manufacturer to obtain the pump safe operation ranges.

  • Max. Frequency
    The Max Frequency should be set to the maximum output frequency that the pump should be allowed to run. Contact your pump and motor manufacturer for motor selection and operation above 60 Hz.

  • 1st Accel.
    Set the 1st Accel. time to the rate at which the output frequency will accelerate from 0Hz to the Accel 2 Switchover Frequency. This time is based on the time the VFD would take to accelerate from 0Hz to 60Hz.  Example: If the pump is required to accelerate from stop to 30Hz in 1 second the 1st Accel. time should be set to 2 seconds.

  • 1st Decal.
    Set the 1st Decel. time to the rate at which the output frequency will decelerate from the Accel 2 Switchover Frequency to a stop. This rate is based on the time the VFD would take to decelerate from 60Hz to  0Hz. Example: If the pump is required to decelerate from 30Hz to a stop in 4 seconds the 1st Decel. time should be set to 8 seconds.

  • Accel/Decel 2
    Set the Accel/Decel 2 time to the rate at which the output frequency will change as the VFD is operating above the Accel 2 Switchover Frequency. This time is based on the time the VFD would take the accelerate or decelerate between 0Hz to 60Hz.

  • Accel 2 Switchover Hz
    The Accel 2 Switchover Hz frequency should be set to the frequency at which the acceleration and deceleration rates change. This is typically used on submersible type pumps, where the manufacturer requires a  fast acceleration from a stop to 30Hz for proper thrust bearing operation.

  • PID – Proportional
    The PID – Proportional term is intended to be adjusted by advanced users only.
    The PID Proportional term is used to adjust the reaction of the output frequency to changes in the system pressure. Decreasing the PID – Proportional term will allow the VFD to make larger corrections to the  output frequency with differences between the Set Pressure and actual system pressure. Increasing the PID – Proportional term will allow the VFD to make smaller corrections to the output frequency with  differences between the Pressure Setting and actual system pressure.

  • PID – Integral
    The PID – Integral term is intended to be adjusted by advanced users only. The PID – Integral term is used to adjust how quickly the output frequency reacts to changes in the system pressure. Decreasing the  PID Integral term will allow the VFD to make quicker corrections to the output frequency with differences between the Pressure Setting and actual system pressure. Increasing the PID Integral term will allow  the VFD to make slower corrections to the output frequency with differences between the Pressure Setting and actual system pressure.

  • Transducer Range
    If using a different transducer other than supplied, set the Transducer Range to the full span rating of the pressure transducer. The Pressure Setting and Start Pressure Diff. values must also be updated after  changing the Transducer Range, as these values are automatically scaled based on the Transducer Max Range.

  • Transducer Offset
    The measured pressure can be adjusted up or down as desired to adjust to any small offset errors that may be present. For example, if there are other pressure gauges in the system more accurate than the VFD’s  4-20mA sensor. Adjust the Transducer Offset value to a positive or negative value as needed until the displayed pressure shows the desired reading. This positive or negative value will be added to all pressure readings.

  • HAND Run Time
    When in HAND, the pump will run at the HAND Speed for the number of minutes set in HAND Run Time if the user does not switch back to OFF or AUTO before that. The pump will stop when the HAND Run  Time is done, at which point the controller will switch back to OFF mode. Set to 0 minutes to disable this protective function, allowing the pump to run in HAND mode indefinitely.

  • HAND Speed
    This is the constant speed at which the pump will run while it is in HAND mode.

  • Carrier Frequency
    This is the PWM switching frequency for the VFD inverter output.

  • Factory Reset
    This will reset all user settings and VFD parameters to their factory default values. The user must select “Confirm” when prompted “Are You Sure?” for the factory reset to be performed.

TUNING & TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE

  • Testing & tuning the system:
    To optimize the system, it is necessary to test run the pump and record the following parameters: Pressure, Hz, & Amps. All are visible on the main screen of the display. Adjustments can then be made to optimize the system performance.

  • Pressure Overshoot:
    Open multiple valves (faucets). Check to see if the pressure drops and the pump starts.
    Ensure that the pump starts when pressure drops below the setpoint – differential.
    As the pump starts and ramps up, leave the valves open and ensure the pressure increases rapidly and reach the set pressure. Record the Amp reading when the pump is running at full speed (60Hz). It is not  uncommon for the pressure to overshoot the setpoint by 2~8 PSI. If the overshoot is excessive (causing a high-pressure alarm), check the following (in order of importance. Only go to the next step after  completing the first one. Do not go to the next step if the previous one fixes the problem. Do not change multiple parameters at the same time)

  1. Check sizing and pre-charge of the pressure tank (Hydropneumatics tank)
  2. Reduce the PID integral term. (From 1.0 to 0.8 sec)
  3. Decrease the Max Frequency by 3Hz and try again
  • Dry Run:
    The pump will shut down when running at full speed (60Hz) and is not able to meet the set pressure and has low amps. Record the Amp reading during normal pumping conditions and set the “Dry Run Amps”  at 20% under this value. If the well is low producing, it is possible to set a Recharge timer. The Dry Run alarm will automatically reset at the end of the Recharge timer and the pump will run again.

  • Excessive cycling:
    If the pump is cycling too often, check the following: Sleep Frequency: Lower by 2Hz and try again.

  • Not shutting off:
    If the pump does not shut off when there is no flow (all valves closed), check the following:
    Raise the Sleep Frequency 3Hz above the frequency observed when running at no flow. Check sizing and pre-charge of the pressure tank (Hydropneumatics tank).
