Operation / Programming
Language: Press Language; follow steps 2-4 under
"Changing a Parameter Value," Page 9, using the UP or
DOWN arrows to scroll through the available languages
(English, French, or Spanish; default is English).
• NOTE: To change the setpoint before startup, go to the
Main Menu under "Settings".
Main Menu Parameters
The Main Menu has six secondary menus (plus a Reset)
that allow access to the Advanced Programming
parameters: 1) SETTINGS, 2) MOTOR, 3) SENSOR, 4) PIPE
BREAK, 5) DRY RUN, 6) I/O. The basic structure and
navigation instructions are listed below. Use the UP and
DOWN arrows to scroll to the next secondary menu or
submenu, or to a parameter. Press Enter to go into a
Submenu or to edit a parameter.
1) SETTINGS: (Has 5 submenus)
Time (2 parameters):
Hour: Allows you to change the time of day.
Date: Allows you to change the calendar day.
PID Control: Changing these parameters is NOT
recommended. These parameters control the drive's
reaction to pressure changes in the system. They
should be considered as a group. If it seems necessary
to alter anything in this group, please call Pentek
Customer Service at 1-866-9PENTEK (1-866-973-6835)
BEFORE YOU START. Also, note that the last item on
the main menu resets ALL parameters to the default
values.
Sleep (6 parameters plus Reset):
Boost Differential: Raises the system pressure
slightly before going into sleep mode. Units are in
PSI. The default boost value is 3 PSI. (i.e., with
Boost Differential set to 3 PSI and Pressure Setpoint
set to 60 PSI, the system pressure will rise to 63 PSI
before the drive goes to sleep). Maximum is 10 PSI,
minimum is 3 PSI.
Boost Delay: The length of time (in seconds) that
the drive monitors the system before boosting the
pressure. Default is 60 seconds, maximum is 300
seconds, minimum is 30 seconds.
Wakeup Differential: The total pressure drop from
the setpoint that the drive must see to come out of
Sleep mode. The default setting is 5 PSI. (i.e., with
the Wakeup Differential set to 5 PSI, the drive will
wake up when the pressure in the system has
dropped 5 PSI below the system Pressure Setpoint.)
Maximum is 15 PSI, minimum is 5 PSI.
Wake Delay: The time it takes to ramp down to the
Wake Up pressure. Default is 15 seconds, maxi-
mum is 120 seconds, minimum is 3 seconds.
Sleep 2 PSI: A setting to prevent Over-Pressure. If
the system pressure rises enough that the drive
reaches the Sleep 2 PSI setpoint, the drive will go
to sleep for one minute. Default pressure is 80 PSI,
maximum is 'Max Sensor' value minus 3 PSI, mini-
mum is 15 PSI.
• NOTE: If the Internal or External Setpoint is set to
a value that is near, at, or above the Sleep 2 PSI
setpoint, you may experience nuisance tripping.
In this case, raise the Sleep 2 PSI setpoint until
the nuisance tripping stops.
Boost Trigger: Sets the frequency range that defines
system stability. When the frequency stabilizes
within this range, the drive starts the boost process.
Increasing this value allows the drive to sleep
under less stable conditions. The default is 3 Hz.
The range is 3 to 30 Hz.
Reset to defaults: Default value is NO. Change to
YES to reset all Sleep parameters to their default
values.
Password (2 parameters):
Password Timeout: Sets the time (in minutes) that
the drive takes to lock out the password-protected
(blue) buttons on the keypad. The range is 1 – 360
minutes; the default is 60 minutes. When drive pro-
gramming is complete, a timer starts. Once it
reaches the time set in this parameter the buttons
automatically lockout.
Password: The Password locks or unlocks the blue
buttons on the keypad. The password is a number
(default is 7777) and can be changed to any 1- to
4-digit number.
Setpoints (2 Parameters):
Internal Setpoint: The main pressure setting used
by the drive. The default value is 60 PSI. Maximum
is the 'Max Sensor' value minus 3 PSI, minimum is
15 PSI.
External Setpoint: The Drive's pressure reference
when the External Input is set to External Setpoint
and the proper drive is connected to it (see I/O
section, Pages 11 and 12). Default is 40 PSI,
Maximum is 'Max Sensor' minus 3 PSI, minimum
is 15 PSI.
2) MOTOR (4 parameters plus Reset):
Service Factor Amps: The service factor amps of
the motor. This value is entered during the setup
process and can be changed if necessary. For your
PENTEK motor, use the value listed in Table 4,
Page 8. This value may differ slightly from the
motor's nameplate amps. For other manufacturer's
3-wire, 1-Phase motors, use the Cap Start/Cap Run
values supplied by the motor manufacturer. For
3-Phase motors and 2-Wire 1-Phase submersible
motors, use motor manufacturer's service factor
amps or nameplate amps.
Connection Type (1 Phase Only): Select connection
type which matches the motor used. Default is
3-Wire.
Min Frequency: The minimum frequency that the
drive will send to the motor (this translates to the slow-
est speed at which the motor will run). The default is
30 Hz. If necessary this value can be increased, but
cannot exceed the Max Frequency value.
