The duty ranges for proportional-pressure and constant-pressure control appear in the MAGNA3 data booklet.
In constant-curve duty, you can control the pump from minimum to 100 %. The range of control depends on the minimum speed, power
and pressure limits of the pump.

8.7 Flow estimation accuracy

The internal sensor estimates the difference in pressure between
the inlet and outlet port of the pump. The measurement is not a
direct differential-pressure measurement, but by knowing the
hydraulic design of the pump, you can estimate the differential
pressure across the pump. The speed and power give a direct
estimation of the actual duty point at which the pump is running.
The calculated flow rate has an accuracy specified as +/- xx % of
Q . The less flow through the pump, the less accurate the
max
reading will be. See also section 8.11.5 Heat energy monitor.

The use of a mixture of water and ethylene-glycol will reduce the
