In the following, the requirements or conditions to activate an auxiliary pump are shown: 
 
•  Connection of an auxiliary pump 
 
 
 
 
If  the  regulated  pump’s  output  frequency  is  higher  than  the  level  established  by  J34  during  the  time 
specified in J35, the inverter will understand that using the regulated pump is not enough to maintain the 
required pressure, and the inverter is ready to connect an auxiliary pump to the commercial power supply.  
 
 
 
 
When  the  condition  above  is  accomplished,  the  inverter  will  decrease  the  output  frequency  of  the 
regulated pump to the value stored in J93, by means of the deceleration ramp in J39. Once the frequency 
level J93 is achieved, the PID controller will be activated again. 
The frequency level when the auxiliary pumps are connected is defined in function code J44.

The  exact  frequency  level  where  the  inverter  connects  the  auxiliary  pumps  to  the  commercial  power 
supply is specified by means of the function code J44. The equation that defines this level is:

As an example: 
 
J44 = 50 % 
J18 = 50 Hz 
J19 = 25 Hz

In this case, the connection of the auxiliary pumps happens when the regulated pump is turning at 37.5
