6-3 Options for Pump Setup
Several of the items in this screen are not setup options but are instead intended for use during operation. These items (hour meter and transferring stations to a standby pump) are described in Chapter 4, “Operation.”
Name | Description | Options | Default |
Idle Time Options |
|
|
|
Auto Shutdown Delay | Length of time the pump continues to run | 45 sec. | |
| unloaded without demand from any station. |
|
|
| After this time has elapsed, the pump shuts |
|
|
| down to save power and to prevent wear on the |
|
|
| pump. |
|
|
| Adjust this setting to fit the needs of your facility |
|
|
| in trading off the savings against the costs |
|
|
| associated with waiting for a pump to start up |
|
|
| when there is a demand for material. |
|
|
Alarm Options |
|
|
|
Local alarm | When this option is enabled, the controller turns | disabled, | disabled |
| on the local alarm light for any alarm at this | enabled |
|
| specific pump. |
|
|
| Enable this option if and only if your facility has |
|
|
| installed a local alarm light for this pump. |
|
|
Pump fault #1 | The ArmorBlock for each pump has two inputs | disabled, | disabled |
| that you can wire to generate alarms for | enabled |
|
| situations of your choosing. These alarms can |
|
|
| be configured as standard or critical. Standard |
|
|
| means that the pump continues to operate. |
|
|
| Critical means that the pump is disabled. |
|
|
| For example, you may have a sensor that turns |
|
|
| on when material reaches the top of a filter- |
|
|
| chamber waste bin. When this option is |
|
|
| enabled, the controller issues an alarm if the |
|
|
| sensor wired to the input for Pump Fault #1 |
|
|
| turns on. |
|
|
| Enable this option if and only if your facility has |
|
|
| installed a miscellaneous alarm on the input for |
|
|
| Pump Fault #1 for this pump. |
|
|
Pump fault #2 | See the explanation for Pump fault #1 above. | disabled, | disabled |
| Enable this option if and only if your facility has | enabled |
|
| installed a miscellaneous alarm on the input for |
|
|
| Pump Fault #2 for this pump. |
|
|
Filter Cleaning Options |
|
|
|
Blow back | When this option is enabled, the controller | disabled, | disabled |
| periodically sends compressed air backward | enabled |
|
| through the pump’s air filter to dislodge |
|
|
| accumulated dust and debris. |
|
|
| Enable this option if and only if the pump has |
|
|
| the equipment for compressed air filter cleaning. |
|
|
Every n loads | Number of conveying cycles to stations between | 5 | |
| filter cleanings. |
|
|
| Adjust this setting based on experience. The |
|
|
| more dust and debris in your material line, the |
|
|
| smaller this number needs to be. |
