VEGA VEGASON 71 - 1 … 75 - 1 - Manual (Page 30)

Measurement, Relay output
30 71 - 1 … 75 - 1
Using the VEGASON-measuring system in pump
stations allows several pumps to be used indepen-
dent of the level. Due to the different switching
commands there could be unequal pump running
times. With programming the mode "pump function" the
switch-on period of the respective relay outputs is
monitored via the central electronics. An automatic
change-over (priority determination) ensures equal-
ity of pump running periods. See the following
example with three pumps.
Priority determination by:
-
switching on the measuring system
- all relay outputs concerned in the pump function
switched off, i.e. with all pumps stopped
- with time interval. The time interval is active if
within the time programmed in mode 63 all
pumps are not stopped.
In this case first all relay outputs are switched
off, the actual priority will be determined and the
pumps will be switched on again in new
sequence after 10 secs..
Factory preset of mode 0 - 63 with
9999
minutes
^ approx. 1 week to the max. interval time.
Note:
Before changing this time, it should be checked
if the (10 secs.) switch off of all pumps will create
a problem.
