SAFETY FUNCTIONS 
7.3.4  Pump Overload 
"Pump  Overload"  is  displayed  when  the  state  that  the  motor  current  exceeding  the  setting  value 
continues  during  the  fixed  time  or  the  state  that  the  STP  pump  rotational  speed  drops  below  the 
setting value continues during the fixed time. However, the motor current and the rotational speed are 
monitored only in the NORMAL state. 
When the deposit accumulates in the STP pump, the load in NORMAL state may gradually grow with 
the operating time. Considering the time of the overhaul, this "WARNING" function can be used. 
The  current  setting  value  and  rotational  speed  setting  value  are  user-definable.  "Pump  Overload" 
warning can be released by setting the warning function to disable after it is detected. 
The  setting  can  be  changed  via  serial  communication,  the  STP-Link  (optional  accessory)  or  the 
display unit iDT-001 (optional accessory). 
 
7.3.5  Imbalance 
The STP pump continuously monitors its rotor balance. The "Imbalance" is detected when imbalance 
of the synchronized rotor with the rotational speed exceeds the setting value. 
When the deposit accumulates in the STP pump, with the increase of the STP pump operation hours, 
the rotor balance is lost and the imbalance increases gradually. An increase in the amount of deposit 
may lead to a malfunction of the STP pump. Perform the overhaul ahead usual case. 
The setting value of the imbalance is fixed, and the user cannot set it. 
Set  the  "WARNING"  function  of  the  Enable/Disable  to  disable  to  release  the  "Imbalance  X_H", 
"Imbalance  X_B"  or  "Imbalance  Z".  The  setting  can  be  changed  via  serial  communication,  the 
STP-Link (optional accessory) or the display unit iDT-001 (optional accessory). 
 
7.3.6  Other Warning 
Occurrence condition  Pump operation  Countermeasures 
Air-cooling fan failure in control 
unit 
(FAN Warning) 
Continuing operation 
When operating continuously, 
STP pump may overheat and 
detect overheat abnormality. 
Contact Service office. 
Unexpected restart of control 
unit during the pump rotation 
(C/U Restart) 
Each interface signal 
re-outputs the current status 
after initialization. At warning 
detection, if the pump is in 
normal operation or 
acceleration, the pump 
accelerates again and 
operates continuously. 
Influence of external noise.   
Check the setting of STP pump, 
and take measures to reduce 
the influence of external noise.
