Operation
Pumptec has three indicator lights labeled POWER, LOAD, and VOLTAGE.
If the Pumptec is connected upstream of the pressure switch, the system
status can be determined from these indicator lights at any time. When
wired downstream of the control switch, no status will be displayed
when the control switch is open.
Power Indicator Light
If solid, the Pumptec has power and the system is idle. In this state, the
motor is not running and the Pumptec is waiting for the control device
(i.e. pressure switch) to close and turn on the motor.
When flashing, the system is pumping water and running normally.
Yellow Load Indicator Light
The yellow load light indicates one of three conditions:
1. A solid yellow light with no flicker indicates a dry well (underload).
This is caused by the load of the motor going below the underload
adjustment knob.
2. A solid yellow light with a slight flicker indicates an underload
caused by a rapid decrease in load (approximately 25% over a 20
second period).
Note: In both conditions above, the Pumptec will wait until the reset
time-out period has ended before attempting to restart the motor.
3. A flashing yellow light (on for 1/2 second, off for 1/2 second)
indicates an overload caused by the motor current being excessively
high. The unit must be manually reset by removing power for
10 seconds.
Voltage Indicator Light
When the voltage light is solid, an under voltage condition has
been detected. The under voltage trip is factory preset to 207 Volts.
When the voltage light is flashing, an over voltage fault has been
detected. The over voltage trip is factory preset to 253 Volts.
After a voltage fault has occurred, Pumptec will check the line voltage
every two minutes and will reset when the line voltage returns to the
normal range.
Load & Voltage Indicator Lights Flashing
When both the load and voltage indicator lights are flashing together,
a "Rapid Cycle" condition has occurred. The Pumptec will wait the
duration of the reset time-out period (either the factory preset time
(30 minutes) or the time set using the underload time-out adjustment
knob by the user) before attempting to restart the motor.
*Note: The "Rapid Cycle" trip criteria is 4 starts per minute. The
Pumptec must be wired before the pressure switch to activate
the "Rapid Cycle" feature.
