1. Constant-pressure control

1.1 Description

The system maintains a constant pressure within the

maximum pump performance in spite of a varying

water consumption.

Fig. 1 shows an example of an installation with con-

stant-pressure control.

Fig. 1

1.2 Function

The pressure is registered by means of the pressure

sensor, which transmits a signal to the CU 301. The

CU 301 adjusts the pump performance accordingly

by changing the pump speed.

Mains borne signalling:

The communication between the CU 301 and the

pump is effected via the power supply cable.

This communication principle is called mains borne

signalling (or power line communication). Using this

principle means that no additional cables to the

pump are required.

The communication of data is effected by means of a

high-frequency signal transmitted to the power sup-

ply cable and led into the electronics unit by means

of signal coils incorporated in the motor and the

CU 301 respectively.

Fig. 2 shows the principle of mains borne signalling

between the CU 301 and the pump.

CU 301

When does the pump start?

The pump starts as a consequence of...

• a high flow or

• a low pressure or

• a combination of both.

To ensure that the pump is started when water is

consumed, a flow detection is required. The flow is

detected via pressure changes in the system. When

water is consumed, the pressure will drop according-

ly depending on the size of the diaphragm tank and

the water flow:

• at a low flow, the pressure will drop slowly.

• at a high flow, the pressure will drop quickly.

See fig. 3.

Fig. 3

Note: When the pressure is dropping 0.1 bar/s or

faster, the pump will start immediately.

If a diaphragm tank of 8 litres is used, the pump will

start at a flow rate of approx. 0.18 m³/h.

Note: If a larger tank is used, the flow must be

higher before the pump starts.

Consumption up to 0.18 m³/h:

The pump will start when the pressure has dropped

to 0.5 bar below the pressure setting.

The pump will run until the pressure is 0.5 bar above

the pressure set.

Flow detection:

During pump operation, i.e. when water is con-

sumed, the CU 301 will adjust the pump speed to

maintain a constant pressure. In order to stop the

pump when no water is consumed, the CU 301 per-

forms flow detection every 10 seconds.

The pump speed is reduced until a small pressure

drop is registered. This pressure drop indicates that

water is consumed and the pump speed is resumed,

see fig. 4.

If the pump speed can be reduced without any pres-

sure drop being registered, this indicates that no

water is consumed. The diaphragm tank will be filled

with water and the pump will be stopped.

Fig. 4

System limits:

Even though the CU 301 is controlling the pressure

within ±0.2 bar, bigger pressure variations may occur

in the system. If the consumption is suddenly

changed, e.g. if a tap is opened, the water must start

flowing before the pressure can be made constant

again. Such dynamic variations depend on the pipe-

work, but, typically, they will lie between 0.5 and

1 bar.

If the desired consumption is higher than the quantity

the pump is able to deliver at the desired pressure,

the pressure follows the pump curve as illustrated in

fig. 5.

1.3 System sizing

To ensure the correct function of the system, it is

important that the pump is of the right type.

During operation, the CU 301 controls the pump

speed within the range from 3,000 min-1 to 10,700

min-1, see fig. 6.

It is recommended to follow the guidelines below:

Fig. 6

The following must be fulfilled:

1. Min. head at no flow < static head + system pres-

sure.

2. Max. head at max. flow > dynamic head + system

pressure.

Max. head at max. flow and min. head at no flow can

be found in the following table:

1.4 Positioning the pressure sensor

Pressure losses often cause inconvenience to the

user. The CU 301 keeps the pressure constant in the

place where the pressure sensor is positioned, see

fig. 7.

Fig. 7

In fig. 7, tap 1 is placed close to the pressure sensor.

Therefore, the pressure will be kept nearly constant

at tap 1, as the friction loss is small. At the shower

and tap 2, the friction loss is bigger. This, of course,

depends on the piping. However, old and furred-up

piping may cause inconvenience due to friction loss.

Example: A person is in the shower. Tap 2 is

opened. The increased flow will cause pressure loss

in the pipe, and even though the CU 301 is keeping

the pressure constant at the pressure sensor, the

person in the shower will feel the pressure loss.

If the pressure sensor is placed closer to the shower

tap, the CU 301 will increase the pressure when the

flow is increased. Then the pressure at the shower

and tap 2 will be kept constant, but the pressure at

tap 1 will be increased.

Therefore, it is recommended that the pressure sen-

sor be positioned as close to the places of consump-

tion as possible.

1.5 Precharge pressure setting

The precharge pressure of the diaphragm tank must

be set to 70% of the pressure setting in order to use

the tank to the limit of its capacity. This is of course

especially important when the tank volume is limited

to 8 litres.

Use the values in the following table:

Note: If the precharge pressure is higher than the

pressure setting, the system will not be able to con-

trol the pressure.

If the user wants to adjust the pressure without

changing the precharge pressure of the diaphragm

tank, the precharge pressure must be equal to the

lowest pressure setting used. This means that the

control will work but that the pressure fluctuations

might increase. In such cases, it is recommended to

use a larger diaphragm tank, e.g. a tank of double

size.

1.6 Pressure relief valve

In order to provide protection against the possibility

of an overpressurization, a pressure relieve valve

should be installed down stream of the well head.

The setpoint of the pressure relief valve should be at

least 30 psi above the pressure setting, see section

2.3.

If a relief valve is installed, it is recommended that its

discharge be plumbed into an appropriate drainage

point.

2. Operating functions

2.1 On/off button

Fig. 8 shows the on/off button of the CU 301.

Fig. 8

The green and red indicator lights in the on/off button

indicate pump operating condition as follows:

* If the on/off button has been used to stop the

pump, this button must also be used for restarting.

Any alarm indication can be reset by pressing the

on/off button.

If the on/off button is pressed for more than 5 sec-

onds, the pump is started, irrespective of any active

fault/alarm indications and sensor signals.

When the on/off button is released, the pump will

stop, if the alarm still exists.

2.2 Indication of pump operation

On the graphical illustration on the CU 301 front, the

riser pipe shows running light when the pump is

operating. When the pump is not operating, none of

the indicator lights are on, see fig. 9.

Fig. 9

The indication of pump operation can be changed by

means of the R100.

Possible settings:

• “Running light” during pump operation (factory

setting).

• “Constant light” during pump operation.

2.3 Pressure setting

The two arrow buttons on the CU 301 front are used

for the pressure setting, see fig. 10.

CU 301.

3. Alarm functions

The CU 301 continuously receives operating data

from the pump. The alarm functions indicated on the

CU 301 front are described in the following sections.

3.1 Service alarm

If one or more factory-set alarm values are exceed-

ed, the indicator light for service alarm is permanent-

ly on, see fig. 12.

Fig. 12

Possible alarms:

• Sensor defective.

• Overload.

• Overtemperature.

• Speed reduction.

• Voltage alarm.

• No contact to pump.

The possible alarms and how to identify them and

make the relevant corrections are described in sec-

tion 6.1 Service.

3.2 Dry-running protection

The purpose of the dry-running protection is to pro-

tect the pump in case of insufficient water flow.

The dry-running protection makes the conventional

dry-running protection unnecessary.

No additional cables to the motor are required.

The dry-running protection will be active after

30 seconds’ operation.

The dry-running alarm is activated when the load has

been below the minimum power limit for an accumu-

lated time of 5 seconds.

The motor is stopped and the dry-running indicator

light is permanently on, see fig. 13, pos. A.

Fig. 13

Restarting:

After 5 minutes (factory setting), or the period set by

means of the R100 display 5.3.4 Automatic restart,

the motor will restart automatically.
