Steady Flow Selection (DIP SW1 – Position 4)
The SubDrive/MonoDrive Connect is configured at the factory to ensure quick response to maintain
constant pressure. In some cases, the drive may need to be adjusted to offer better control through
a slower response time.
For example, if the system has a water line tapped before the pressure tank or close to the well
head, or where audible speed variations of the pump assembly can be heard through the pipes,
adjusting the pressure control response time by enabling the Steady Flow feature may be helpful.
After enabling this feature, the installer should check flow and pressure changes for possible over
-
shoot. A larger pressure tank and/or a wider margin between the regulated pressure and the pres-
sure relief valve pressure may be required because the Steady Flow feature reduces the drive’s
reaction time to sudden changes in flow.
To activate the Steady Flow feature, remove power and allow voltage to discharge. Move DIP SW1
Position 4 to the ON (up) position. The new setting will not take effect until the drive is powered
up.
NOTE: The Steady Flow feature is operational only when using a standard pressure sensor. If DIP
SW1 Position 5 is in the XDCR (down) position, the Steady Flow selection is ignored (no fault
occurs).
