<strong>Grundfos</strong> E-<strong>pumps</strong><br />

3<br />

Buttons on pump<br />

The operating buttons and on the control panel<br />

can be set to these values:<br />

• Active<br />

• Not active.<br />

When set to "Not active" (locked), the buttons do not<br />

function. Set the buttons to "Not active" if the pump<br />

should be controlled via an external control system.<br />

Pump number<br />

A number between 1 and 64 can be allocated to the<br />

pump. In the case of bus communication, a number<br />

must be allocated to each pump.<br />

Digital inputs<br />

Flow switch<br />

When this function is selected, the pump will be<br />

stopped when a connected flow switch detects low<br />

flow.<br />

It is only possible to use this function if the pump is<br />

connected to a pressure sensor and the control mode<br />

is set to "Controlled."<br />

If the input is activated for more than 5 seconds, the<br />

stop function incorporated in the pump will take over.<br />

The pump will automatically restart when flow is<br />

restored and the flow switch detects flow.<br />

Dry running (only 15-30 Hp)<br />

When this function is selected, lack of inlet pressure or<br />

water shortage can be detected. This requires the use<br />

of an accessory, such as<br />

• a <strong>Grundfos</strong> Liqtec ® dry-running sensor<br />

• a pressure switch installed on the suction side of<br />

apump<br />

• a float switch installed on the suction side of<br />

a pump.<br />

When lack of inlet pressure or water shortage<br />

(Dry running) is detected, the pump will be stopped.<br />

The pump will automatically restart when the dry run<br />

input is not activated.<br />

Stop function<br />

E-<strong>pumps</strong><br />

The digital inputs of the pump (terminal 1, fig. 40,<br />

page 38) can be set to various functions.<br />

Select one of the following functions:<br />

• Min. (min. curve)<br />

• Max. (max. curve)<br />

• External fault<br />

• Flow switch<br />

• Dry running (from external sensor) (only 15-30 Hp).<br />

The selected function is activated by closing the contact<br />

between either terminals 1 and 9, 9 and 10 or<br />

9 and 11. See fig. 40, page 38.<br />

Min.:<br />

When the input is activated, the pump will operate<br />

according to the min. curve.<br />

Max.:<br />

When the input is activated, the pump will operate<br />

according to the max. curve.<br />

External fault<br />

When the input is activated, a timer will be started.<br />

If the input is activated for more than 5 seconds, the<br />

pump will be stopped and a fault will be indicated.<br />

If the input is deactivated for more than 5 seconds, the<br />

fault condition will cease and the pump can only be<br />

restarted manually by resetting the fault indication.<br />

The stop function can be set to these values:<br />

• Active<br />

• Not active.<br />

When the stop function is active, the pump will be<br />

stopped at very low flows.<br />

Purpose of the stop function:<br />

• to avoid heating of the pumped liquid which<br />

damages the pump<br />

• to reduce wear of the shaft seals<br />

• to reduce noise from operation.<br />
