Initial Startup
3. Pump out well (if necessary):
Direct pump's discharge to appropriate location
not connected to system and press Pump Out.
The pump will run at 45 Hz.
Adjust frequency as appropriate:
A. Press ENTER
B. Change frequency value
NOTICE Above ground pumps should run at 60
Hz for this step (until pump is primed). Then
adjust frequency as necessary.
C. Press ENTER again.
Run the Drive in this mode until the well
discharge runs clear, then press STOP button to
stop Drive.
Risk of explosion. In Pump Out
mode, pump runs at a constant speed, which
can cause very high pressure if flow is restricted.
4. Verify installation: Make sure that the system
has properly-sized, pressure-relief valve and
pressure tank.
Make sure pressure tank's precharge is correct.
See Table 6.
Make sure pump discharge is connected to
system.
Service Factor Amps
To maximize pump performance, be sure to
enter the correct Service Factor Amps (SF Amps)
in the PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE.
•
Entering SF Amps higher than the motor rating
lets the Drive supply more amps to the motor
than the motor is designed for and may allow
the motor to overheat (see Table 4).
Entering SF Amps lower than the motor rating
•
limits the output amps to less than the motor is
designed for and will reduce the performance
of the pump.
•
For any 1-Phase 3-Wire motor, the correct
Service Factor Amp rating for the Drive is Cap
Start/Cap Run amps (see Table 4). This may
not match the motor nameplate, which (for a
Single Phase, 3-Wire motor) will generally be
Cap Start/ Induction Run Amps.
•
For any 3-Phase or 1 Phase, 2-Wire motor, use
the motor nameplate Service Factor Amp rating.
NOTICE PENTEK
submersible motors may
®
differ from motors of the same horsepower
from other manufacturers. For 1-Phase, 3-Wire
motors from all other submersible motor
manufacturers, enter the motor manufacturer's
CS/CR service factor amps for your motor.
For 3-Phase or 2-Wire 1-Phase motors, use the
motor nameplate amp value. Also see Retro Fit
Applications. (Table 7)
5. System Start:
A. Open valves at the ends of lines so that air
will escape during pressurization.
B. Press Auto Start; close valves at the ends of
lines after all air has escaped.
C. The system goes into Constant Pressure
Operation as soon as the transducer registers
the Dry Run Sensitivity parameter (default
is 10 PSI). If system pressure does not reach
that PSI value within 3 minutes, the Drive will
stop. Press Auto Start again to restart line fill.
If longer priming or line fill time is required,
adjust Fill Time parameter. See Table 5.
Changing a Parameter Value
This procedure works for ANY parameter.
A. Press MAIN MENU button.
B. Follow the keypress sequence shown in
Figure 12:
A shorthand way to remember this is:
•
Press ENTER to highlight a value
•
Use arrows to change valve
•
Press ENTER again to save it
•
If new value is not saved, any screen change will
result in the loss of the new value.
Table 5 lists all available commands and
parameters for the PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE.
