1 Symbol activated pump control

2 Relay 1 is assigned to the pump control

3 Relay 2 is assigned to the pump control and signals failure

5 Relay 4 is free or not assigned to the pump control

When the level was not changed for a longer period, always the same

pump would have been switched on. Via the parameter "Changeover

time", a time can be preset after which a forced changeover of the

pump is carried out. Which pump will be switched on depends ont he

selected pump mode. If all pumps are already switched on, then the

pump still remains switched on. These function can be only adjusted

via PC and DTM.
Note:

If the pump is already switched on when activating the forced

changeover, the timer will not be started. Only after switching off and

on again, will the timer start. If the switch-off delay is set, it will not

be taken into account, i.e. the changeover is carried out exactly after

the preset time for the forced changeover expires. A preset switch-on

delay, however, is taken into account, i.e. the forced changeover to

another pump is carried out after the preset time expires. Before the

newly selected pump switches on, the preset switch-on delay for this

pump must be expired.

With a pump control, there is also the possibility of switching on pump

monitoring. For this purpose, a feedback signal is required on the re-

spective digital input. The digital inputs are assigned 1:1 to the relays.

Digital input 1 acts on relay 1, etc.
If the pump monitoring for a relay was switched on, a timer is started

when the relay is switched on (time allowance with parameter "Report

time"). If the checkback signal comes from the pump on the respec-

tive digital input within the defined report time, the pump relay remains

energized, otherwise the relay is immediately switched off and a fault

signal outputted. A fault signal and switching off of the relay is carried

out even if the relay is already switched on and the pump checkback

signal changes during the running time of the pump. In addition, a

switched-off relay of the pump control is looked for and switched

on instead of the disturbed relay. A Low signal on the digital input is

evaluated as a pump error signal.
The fault message is cancelled when the signal on the digital input

changes to "Good" or when it is reset via the "OK" key and selection
