The main pump controls both pumps.
In the event of a fault in one pump, the other pump runs according to the main pump's con-
trol input. In the event of a total breakdown of the main pump, the partner pump runs at the
emergency operation speed. The emergency operation speed can be set in menu <5.6.2.0>
(see section "Operation during interruption of communication").
The main pump's display shows the status of the twin-head pump. The partner pump's dis-
play shows "SL".
In the example, the main pump is the left-hand pump in the direction of flow. Connect the
differential pressure sensor to this pump!
The measuring points of the differential pressure sensor must be located in the collector pipe
on the suction and discharge side of the twin-head pump system.
Interface module (IF module)
An IF module (accessories) attached in the terminal room is required for communication
between pumps and building management systems.
Communication between the main pump and the partner pump is via an internal interface
(terminal: MP).
For pumps in Y-pipe applications where the electronic modules are connected to each other
via the internal interface, only the main pumps require an IF module.

NOTICE
The procedure and additional explanations on commissioning and config-
uring the IF module on the pump are described in the installation and op-
erating instructions for the IF module used.
Main/standby operation
Only one pump ever runs at a time. Each of the two pumps provides the configured flow
rate. The other pump is available in case of malfunction or runs after pump cycling.
Pump cycling
With twin-head pump operation, pump cycling occurs periodically (the intervals can be set;
factory setting = 24 hours).
Pump cycling can be triggered:
•
Internally, time-controlled (menu <5.1.3.2> + <5.1.3.3>)
•
Externally (menu <5.1.3.2>) by a positive beam on the "AUX" contact
•
Manual (menu <5.1.3.1>)
Manual or external pump cycling is possible 5 seconds after the last pump cycling at the
earliest.
t
Activating external pump cycling simultaneously deactivates internal time-controlled pump
cycling.
