7 Operation
DANGER
Only operate the switchgear when closed. There is a risk of fatal injury
from open switchgear! Electrical work on the internal components must
be carried out by a qualified electrician.
7.1 How it works In automatic mode, the pumps are switched on and off depending on the water level. Once
the first activation point has been reached, pump 1 switches on. Once the second activa-
tion point has been reached, pump 2 switches on after the activation delay has elapsed.
During operation, a visual indicator appears on the LCD display and the green LED lights up.
Once the deactivation point has been reached, both pumps are switched off after the deac-
tivation delay has elapsed. To optimise pump running times, pump cycling is carried out
every time the pump is switched off.

en
An alarm signal is shown on the LCD display in case of a fault. If more than one pump is
connected, automatic changeover to a fully-functional pump occurs. Additionally, the in-
ternal buzzer can emit an audible alarm signal. Furthermore, the outputs for the collective
fault signal (SSM) and individual fault signal (ESM) are activated.
Upon reaching the dry run or high water level, the following occurs depending on the oper-
ating mode:
• Forced shutdown of all pumps.
• Forced activation of all pumps.
An alarm signal is also shown on the LCD display. Additionally, the internal buzzer can emit
an audible alarm signal. Furthermore, the output for the collective fault signal (SSM) is ac-
tivated.
7.1.1 Priority when dry run and high wa- If the system malfunctions, it may happen that both signals are present at the same time. In
ter signals are present simultan- this case, the priority is dependent upon the selected operating mode and thus the reaction

2. High water
• “Fill” operating mode
1. Dry-running protection/low water (via “Extern OFF” input)
2. High water
3. Min. water level
7.1.2 Pump cycling To prevent irregular running times of the individual pumps, general pump cycling takes
place. This means that all pumps work alternately.
7.1.3 Forced switching of the pumps in Forced switching depends on the selected operating mode:

NOTICE! Forced switch-on
The following preconditions must be fulfilled so that a forced switch-on can be performed:
• Pumps are enabled (menu 3.01 to 3.04).
• The “Extern OFF” input is not active.
7.1.4 Operation with a defective level If the level sensor does not transfer a measured value (e.g. due to wire break, defective
sensor sensor), all pumps are switched off. Furthermore, the fault signal LED lights up and the col-
lective fault signal is activated.
Emergency operation
• Operating mode “drain”: High water level
If the high water level is performed by a separate float switch, the system can continue
running in emergency operation. The activation and deactivation points are defined by
the hysteresis of the float switch.
• Operating mode “fill”: Min. water level
If the min. water level is monitored by a separate float switch, the system can continue
running in emergency operation. The activation and deactivation points are defined by
the hysteresis of the float switch.

13.5 ModBus: Data types Data type Description

INT16 Integer in the range from -32768 to 32767.
The number range actually used for a data point may vary.
UINT16 Unsigned integers in the range from 0 to 65535.
The number range actually used for a data point may vary.
ENUM Is a list. Only one of the values listed in the parameters can be set.
BOOL A Boolean value is a parameter with exactly two states (0 – false and 1 –
true). Generally, all values greater than zero are classified as true.
BITMAP* Is an array of 16 Boolean values (bits). Values are indexed from 0 to 15. The
number read from or written to the register is the sum of all bits with the
value 1 multiplied by 2 to the power of its index.
• Bit 0: 20 = 1
• Bit 1: 21 = 2
• Bit 2: 22 = 4
• Bit 3: 23 = 8
• Bit 4: 24 = 16
• Bit 5: 25 = 32
• Bit 6: 26 = 64
• Bit 7: 27 = 128
• Bit 8: 28 = 256
• Bit 9: 29 = 512
• Bit 10: 210 = 1024
• Bit 11: 211 = 2048
• Bit 12: 212 = 4096
• Bit 13: 213 = 8192
• Bit 14: 214 = 16384
• Bit 15: 215 = 32768
BITMAP32 Is an array of 32 Boolean values (bits). Please check Bitmap for the calcula-
tion details.
* Example for clarification:
Bit 3, 6, 8, and 15 are 1. All others are 0. The sum is then 23+26+28+215 = 8+64+256+32768
= 33096. It is also possible to do the calculation the other way round. Based on the bit with
the highest index, check whether the read number is greater than/equal to the power of
two. If this is the case, bit 1 is set and the power of two is deducted from the number. Then
the check with the bit with the next lower index and the recently calculated residual num-
ber is repeated until bit 0 is obtained or the residual number is zero. Example for clarifica-
tion: The read number is 1416. Bit 15 will be 0, since 1416 < 32768. Bits 14 to 11 will also
be 0. Bit 10 will be 1, since 1416 > 1024. The remainder will be 1416-1024=392. Bit 9 will
be 0, since 392 < 512. Bit 8 will be 1, since 392 > 256. The remainder will be 392-256=136.
Bit 7 will be 1, since 136 > 128. The remainder will be 136-128=8. Bits 6 to 4 will be 0. Bit 3
will be 1, since 8 = 8. The remainder will be 0. The remaining bits 2 to 0 will thus all be 0.
