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 41.
Operaon at extreme condions
Operaon with high inlet pressure
If the nEXT85 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 91 for the maximum power delivered to the pump and to Table 38 on
page 86, for maximum allowable inlet pressure.
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 36 on page 84 for pump operang ranges and Cooling on page 32 for advice on pump
cooling.
Protecon against over-speed
Control
soware within the motor controller regulates the pump rotaonal speed and
prevents the pump
operang above its normal full rotaonal speed.
In the unlikely event of a failure of this control
soware, the motor controller has a built-in
safety circuit that checks whether the pump is running at over-speed. If an over-speed
condion is detected, the motor controller automacally shuts down power to the pump
motor and slows it down to rest. The motor controller will signal a fail condion if over-speed
has been detected.
If the pump appears to be running at over-speed, switch it o and consult Edwards or the
supplier.
