Sterling Plumbing CV3-635, 882.00252.00 Configurable Settings, Options for Station Setup

Chapter 6: Configurable Settings

This section describes the proper setup of the 3 pump, 33-station control system parameters. These parameters are operator changeable; however, these items should require setup only during the initial installation. Only authorized personnel should change them.

Many of the variables and setup parameters have been preset at the factory and do not need to be changed. However, this section of the manual will address all of the setup parameters that were available at the time of printing. The purpose of this is to familiarize the reader with all the setup parameters and their usage.

	this time has elapsed.
	Adjust this value to match the actual time needed
	to drain the station. If it is set too short, the
	controller may attempt to refill the station before it
	is empty, causing material to back up and/or
	underusing the station’s capacity. If it is set too
	long, the system may be unable to keep up with
	your equipment’s demand for material.

	Enable this option if and only if the station has no
	flapper.
