3.8 AR control unit
Functions of pumps with electronics:
•
"Continuous operation" button for function test and dosing
head deaeration
•
memory function (stores a maximum of 65,000 pulses)
•
two-stage tank-empty signal (e.g. via Grundfos tank empty
sensor)
•
stroke signal/pre-empty signal (adjustable), e.g. as a feedback
to the control room
•
dosing controller function (only with sensor - optional)
•
diaphragm leakage detection (only with sensor - optional)
•
access-code-protected settings
•
remote on/off
•
hall sensor
•
operating hours counter
•
motor monitoring.
Operating modes:
•
manual
Stroke frequency: manually adjustable between zero and
maximum
•
contact signal control
Multiplier (1:n) and divisor (n:1)
•
current signal control 0-20 mA / 4-20 mA
Adjustment of stroke frequency proportional to the current
signal.
Weighting of current input.
