Starting the Pump
If the forepump and vent device are not operated by the
controller, close the vent valve and switch on the
forepump.
With the FRONT panel operation selected, the
REMOTE and RS 232 operations are inoperative;
conversely,
the
CYCLE
CURRENT pushbuttons are always active, even when
the operating mode selected is REMOTE or RS 232.
•
Press the START pushbutton (or use the remote or
RS 232 start signal), and the display shows:

Where the sign minus (-) become a square ( ž )
when the pump finish the ramp-up step. The active
step is indicated by a flashing square (€ ž ).
•
As the ten steps are fully covered, the pump will
reach the Normal operation. If during the Soft Start
mode the current drawn by the pump exceed 1.7 A
the speed of the pump is decreased to maintain the
maximum power allowable (1.7 A).

If the Soft Start mode has been deselected the display

where:
1 2 = contrast inverted identifies the set point
condition:
− 1 is displayed when relay R1 is de-energized
and the related output is zero voltage.
− 2 is displayed when relay R2 is energized and
the related output is 24 V.
XX KRPM = indicates the actual theoretical
rotational speed of the pump as a function of the
controller output frequency (range 3 to 62 KRPM).
•
After START command, voltage and frequency
output will be at the maximum level, then the
frequency will decrease to a value proportional to
the pump rotational speed (3 KRPM if the pump is
completely stopped). The pump will accelerate to its
normal rotational speed.
•
During acceleration of the pump or during any
operating condition, it is always possible to select
the other parameters to be displayed pressing the
PUMP
CURRENT
pushbuttons.
•
When the normal rotational speed is reached, the
display will be as follows, even if any previous
display selection was made, and the normal
condition has been reached.
