Xylem IM131R01 AQUAVAR AV II - Manual (Page 54)

IX. Multiple Pump Constant Pressure and System Curve
Compensation
When two, three, or four AQUAVAR II controller controlled pumps are connected in a system, they can
be programmed to work together to maintain system pressure up to the maximum flow rate of all
pumps combined. As the first pump reaches its maximum speed and flow, the second pump will
automatically turn on (and so on). In addition, the sequence of the pump that will run first (lead
pump) can be automatically varied to reduce premature wear on any one pump in the system.
1. Refer to the section The Main Menu - Setting One Pump Constant Pressure.
Follow steps 1 through 6, then continue with step 2 below.

Other possibilities are Synchronous Controller described later in this section and
Actuator which shuts off the internal controller and allows the
AQUAVAR II to function
as a standard VFD. This can be from external input (actuator) or manual control (actua-
tor local). This is described further in operator custom features and displays.
