The system may be vented in accordance with the advice given in Ven
t opons, vent
valve connecon and control on page 76.
CAUTION:
Do not open a manual ven
t valve unl the pump rotaonal speed has fallen below
50%, otherwise the rate of pressure rise may be too high, which could damage the
pump. In an emergency only, open the vent valve quickly to decelerate the pump
rotor in the shortest possible me.
If using the motor controller to control a TAV solenoid valve, there is a 2-second delay
between either a stop command being received or a fault condion being detected and
the vent valve opening. This delay allows me for gauges, valves and other equipment to
be switched o before venng occurs.
The green indicator LED on the motor controller will exnguish as rotaonal speed drops
below normal speed. At very low speeds, the yellow indicator LED will ash and will
exnguish when the pump has stopped.
The deceleraon me can be improved by using the electronic braking feature, refer to
Electronic braking opons on page 72.
7.8 Operaon at extreme condions
7.8.1 Operaon with high inlet pressure
If the nEXT pump inlet pressure rises, the power supplied to the pump motor will
increase to counteract the gas friconal load.
The pump rotaonal speed will remain constant unl the peak power level is reached;
beyond this level, the speed of the pump will start to reduce.
If the pump speed falls to below 50% of full rotaonal speed, the mer will start if it is
enabled. If the speed does not recover to above 50% speed before the meout period
expires, the pump will shut down and display a fail signal. If the mer is disabled, the
pump will immediately shut down and display a fail signal if the speed drops below 50%
of full rotaonal speed. Refer to Electrical data on page 34 for the maximum power
delivered to the pump and to , for maximum allowable inlet pressure.
7.8.2 Operaon at high temperatures
Temperature sensors within the pump mechanism and electronics are monitored by an
internal system.
If the system detects that any internal temperatures are too high, the power supplied to
the pump motor is reduced; the pump may not therefore be able to maintain full
rotaonal speed if it is too hot.
If the pump speed falls to below 50% of full rotaonal speed, the mer will start if it is
enabled. If the speed does not recover to above 50% speed before the meout period
expires, the pump will shut down and display a fail signal. If the mer is disabled, the
pump will immediately shut down and display a fail signal if the speed drops below 50%
of full rotaonal speed. Refer to Table: Operang and storage condions for pump
operang ranges and Cooling on page 63 for advice on pump cooling.
