When adding a xed speed pump, to prevent
an overshoot of pressure, the variable speed
pump ramps down to a lower speed. When
the variable speed pump reaches the “Staging
Speed” the xed speed pump is staged on.
The staging threshold is used to calculate the
speed of the variable speed pump when the
“cut-in point” of the xed speed pump occurs.
The calculation of the staging threshold is the
ratio of parameter 4-11 Motor Speed Low Limit
[RPM] or parameter 4-12 Motor Speed Low Limit
[Hz], to the parameter 4-13 Motor Speed High
Limit [RPM] or parameter 4-14 Motor Speed
High Limit [Hz], expressed in percent.

When removing a xed speed pump to
prevent an undershoot of pressure, the
variable speed pump ramps up to a higher
speed. When the variable speed pump
reaches the destaging speed, the xed speed
pump is destaged. The destaging threshold is
used to calculate the speed of the variable
speed pump when the destaging of the xed
speed pump occurs. The calculation of the
destaging threshold is the ratio of
parameter 4-11 Motor Speed Low Limit [RPM] or
parameter 4-12 Motor Speed Low Limit [Hz], to
parameter 4-13 Motor Speed High Limit [RPM]
or parameter 4-14 Motor Speed High Limit [Hz],
expressed in percent.
