If you use the controller to control a TAV solenoid valve, there is a 2‑second dela
y
between receiving a stop command (or detecng a fault condion) and opening the vent
valve. The delay allows me for gauges, valves and other equipment to be switched o
before venng occurs.
The green indicator LED on the controller will exnguish as rotaonal speed drops below
normal speed. At very low speeds, the yellow indicator LED ashes. The yellow indicator
LED exnguishes when the pump has stopped.
6.7 Operaon at extreme condions
6.7.1 Operaon with high inlet pressure
If the pump inlet pressure increases, the power supplied to the pump motor will
increase to counteract the gas friconal load.
The pump rotaonal speed will stay constant unl the peak power level is reached. Aer
the peak power level, the speed of the pump will start to decrease.
If the pump speed decreases below 50% of full rotaonal speed, the mer will start (if it
is enabled). If the speed does not recover to more than 50% speed before the meout
period expires, the pump will stop and display a fail signal. If the mer is disabled, the
pump will stop immediately and display a fail signal if the speed decreases below 50% of
the full rotaonal speed. Refer to Electrical data on page 29 for the maximum power
delivered to the pump. Refer to Table: nEXT pumps technical data for maximum
permied inlet pressure.
6.7.2 Operaon at high temperatures
Temperature sensors in the pump mechanism and electronics are monitored by an
internal system. If the system detects that internal temperatures are too high, the power
supplied to the pump motor is reduced, the pump can possibly not be able to maintain
full rotaonal speed if it is too hot.
If the pump speed decreases below 50% of the full rotaonal speed, the mer will start
(if it is enabled). If the speed does not recover to more than 50% speed before the
meout period expires, the pump will stop and display a fail signal. If the mer is
disabled, the pump will stop immediately and display a fail signal if the speed decreases
below 50% of the full rotaonal speed. Refer to Operaon and storage environment on
page 27 for pump operang ranges. Refer to Cooling on page 60 for advice on pump
cooling.
6.7.3 Protecon against over-speed
Control soware in the motor controller control the pump rotaonal speed and prevents
the operaon of the pump more than its normal full rotaonal speed.
If the control soware fails, the motor controller has a built‑in safety circuit that checks
if the pump is operang at over‑speed. If an over‑speed condion is detected, the motor
controller automacally stops the power to the pump motor, slows the pump and stop.
The motor controller signals a fail condion if over‑speed is detected.
If the pump is operang at over‑speed, set the pump to o and contact us or the
supplier.
