5-2-1-3 Setting Up Pump Staging
To avoid an excessive power demand at your facility when
the conveying system starts up, you can stagger the times at
which pumps start. Whenever a demand would cause two
pumps to start simultaneously, your choice for pump staging
sets the delay between the start of one pump and the start of
the next. The factory default is a delay of three seconds. You
need to change this setting only if this delay is too long or
too short for your facility.
To set the delay between the start of one pump and the next,
complete the following steps:
1. Go to the “System Setup” screen by touching the
SYSTEM SETUP button on any screen.
2. Touch the PUMP STAGING button. A keypad pops up.
3. Enter the number of seconds (between 0 and 99) for the
length of the delay between the start of one pump and
the next. Use CLR to erase any mistakes. Use ENT to
enter the value. The keypad disappears, and the new
setting appears under PUMP STAGING.
5-2-2 Setting Up Stations
Before starting the system, you must define several settings
for each station, such as which pump conveys material to it.
This section first discusses how to use the controller’s menu
system to configure stations. The table on pages 47–48
discusses the individual choices.
