nals U1, V1, W1 and U2, V2, W2 and, depending on the frame size, UDC+ and UDC-, or BRK+ and BRK-.
WARNING! Dangerous voltage is present when input power is connected. After disconnecting the
supply, wait at least 5 minutes (to let the intermediate circuit capacitors discharge) before removing the
cover.
WARNING! Even when power is removed from the input terminals of the AQUAVAR, there may be dan-
gerous voltage (from external sources) on the terminals of the relay outputs R01…R03.
WARNING! When the control terminals of two or more drive units are connected in parallel, the auxiliary
voltage for these control connections must be taken from a single source which can either be one of the
units or an external supply.

referenced to ground. If the transformer can not be grounded, then an isolation transformer
must be installed with the secondary of the transformer grounded.

Resistance grounding and ground fault protection:
Connecting the Wye secondary neutral to ground through a resistor is an acceptable
method of grounding. Under a short circuit secondary condition, any of the output phases
to ground will not exceed the normal line to line voltage. This is within the rating of the MOV
input protection devices on the drive. The resistor is often used to detect ground current

through this resistor, care should be taken to properly connect the drive motor leads using
the recommended cables and methods. In some cases, multiple drives on one transformer
can produce a cumulative ground current that can trigger the ground fault interrupt circuit.

INTRODUCTION
Input Power and Line Transformer Requirements
The Aquavar CPC™ requires that the input line voltage and transformer power that meet
certain phase and balance requirements. If you or your installing electrical contractor is in
doubt of the requirements, the following provide guidelines for the Aquavar CPC. When
in doubt contact the local power utility or the factory.
Drive input isolation transformers are not generally required for the Aquavar CPC. The

line to ground be less than 110% of the nominal power line to neutral voltage.
Drive input isolation or dry type transformers may be required for the following:
1. Step up or down: An input transformer may be required to step the local input power
line voltage up or down to the level of the drive input rating.
2. Ground Isolation: An input isolation transformer with a direct or a high impedance wye
neutral secondary ground connection may be required to establish a local power source
with a ground relationship different from the utility power source.
A. If ground isolation is required to prevent a ground fault in one section from shutting
down equipment in another section.
B. To bring local line voltages within the line to ground limits (110% balance) stated in
the opening paragraph.
C. Some ground fault protection schemes and peripheral components require a
grounded neutral power source.
D. A symmetrical wye neutral grounded power source along with proper ground wiring
techniques according to NEC (good ac grounding from motor to drive and from
drive to earth ground) provides the best means to control the ground currents that
the drive switching frequency and dv/dt rate insert into the motor frame and shaft.
3. Phase shifting delta-wye or “zig-zag” isolation transformers are used to feed 12 or 18
pulse drive inputs to provide harmonic mitigation.
If an isolation transformer is used for 6 pulse input, the best choice is ONE three phase,
six winding transformer. A delta primary is best for third harmonic cancellation. A
wye secondary avoids circulating current problems and provides the very desirable option
of grounding the secondary neutral for minimum voltage stress and ripple to ground. The
transformer should have a KVA rating at least 1.1 times the maximum connected HP. A K

circulating currents and unacceptable transformer heating.
WARNING! Never use phase converters with drives as nuisance tripping and possible
damage may occur. Size the drive for single phase input using 50% derate factor.
WARNING! Use of “Open Delta” 230 volt power systems should be sized using the
50% derate factor. Consult factory.
Sometimes drive input isolation transformers are specied to deal with one or more of
the following issues:
1. Short Circuit Protection: Input transformers are sometimes used to provide impedance
to reduce the available short circuit current to levels that the input clearing devices,
such as fuses or circuit breakers, are rated to handle. Line reactors can perform this
impedance function much more cost effectively.
2. Transient Protection: Input transformers are sometimes used to provide transient
surge impedance. All the Aquavar CPC drives have capacitors and MOVs (Metal Oxide
Varistor transient protectors) providing 120 to 360 joules, line to line and line to ground
transient protection. Isolation transformers are not required for this protection within
those energy levels. Additional distribution transformer primary transient surge arrestors

levels. MOV’s are rated to handle high levels of one shot transient energy. MOV’s are not
meant to handle continuously recurring transients. A problem of continuously recurring
transients should be corrected before connecting a drive.
3. Harmonic Mitigation: Input transformers are sometimes used to provide impedance to
reduce the harmonic currents generated in the drive. Line reactors can perform this
function much more cost effectively.
4. Power Factor Capacitor Isolation: Input transformers are sometimes used to provide
impedance to isolate drives from line connected power factor correction capacitors.
PWM drive inputs do not require power factor correction capacitors as drive power

power factor correction capacitors which only correct for fundamental. However drives
should be isolated from power factor correction capacitors by about 3 to 6% additional
impedance with respect to the drives. Line reactors can perform this function much more
cost effectively than isolation transformers. ABB drives have either an internal 3% line
reactor or an equivalent 3 to 5% bus reactor.

The distance between the motor and the drive is limited by the maximum motor cable
length. See “Motor Connection” on page 136.

“Dimensions and Weights” on page 141.
Wiring and EMC Considerations
Determine electromagnetic compliance (EMC) requirements per local codes. In general,
always follow the NEC in the absence of a local code.
• Follow local codes for cable size, conduit, grounding and motors.
• Keep these four classes of wiring separated: input power wiring, motor wiring, control/
communications wiring. Always use separate conduit for motor/control wires.

“Cable Sizing/Rating” on page 131, “Cable Terminals” on page 135, “Input Power (Mains)
Connection” on page 136 and “Motor Connection” on page 136.
• Multiple motor wire should always be run in separate conduit. Shielded and grounded!
Control Cables
General Recommendations
Use shielded cables, temperature rated at 60º C (140º F) or above:
• Control cables must be multi-core cables with a braided copper wire screen.
Double Shielded Single Shielded
Example: JAMAK by Draka NK Cables Example: NOMAK by Draka NK Cables

connected to terminal X1-1 (for digital and analog I/O cables) or to either X1-28 or X1-32
(for RS485 cables).
INTRODUCTION
18
Route control cables to minimize radiation to the cable:
• Route as far away as possible from the input power and motor cables (at least 20 cm (8 in)).
• Where control cables must cross power cables make sure they are at an angle as near 90º
as possible.
• Stay at least 20 cm (8 in) from the sides of the drive.
Use care in mixing signal types on the same cable:
• Do not mix analog and digital input signals on the same cable.
• Run relay-controlled signals as twisted pairs (especially if voltage > 48 V). Relay-controlled
signals using less than 48 V can be run in the same cables as digital input signals.
NOTE! Never mix 24 VDC and AC power signals in the same cable.
Analog Cables
Recommendations for analog signal runs:
• Use double shielded, twisted pair cable
• Use one individually shielded pair for each signal.
• Do not use a common return for different analog signals.
Digital Cables
Recommendations for digital signal runs:
• A double shielded cable is the best alternative, but single shielded twisted multi-pair cable
is also usable.
Control Panel Cable
If the control panel is connected to the drive with a cable, use only Category 5 Patch ethernet
cable.
INTRODUCTION

Supply Connection
Disconnecting Device (Mains)
Install a hand-operated input disconnecting device between the AC power source (MCC) and
the drive. The disconnecting device must be of a type that can be locked to the open position
for installation and maintenance work. Follow all local NEC codes.
Fuses
See Technical Data: Fuse Sizing/Rating on pages 133 and 134.
Thermal Overload and Short-circuit Protection
The drive protects itself and the input and motor cables against thermal overload when the
cables are dimensioned according to the nominal current of the drive. No additional thermal
protection devices are needed.
WARNING! If the drive is connected to multiple motors, a separate thermal overload
switch or a circuit breaker must be used for protecting each cable and motor. These
devices may require a separate fuse to cut off the short-circuit current.
The drive protects the motor cable and the motor in a short-circuit situation when the motor
cable is dimensioned according to the nominal current of the drive.
Mains Cable (AC line cable) Short-circuit Protection
Always protect the input cable with fuses. Standard gG (US: T or L) very fast acting, fuses
will protect the input cable in short-circuit situations and prevent damage to adjoining
equipment in case of a short-circuit inside the drive.
Size the fuses according to local safety regulations, appropriate input voltage and the rated
current of the drive. For fuse ratings, see Technical Data, pages 133 and 134.

because they are inherently slower than fuses. Always use fuses with circuit breakers, if
you are not sure of the circuit braking capacity and mains short circuit power.

cause fault current circuit breakers to function.
Emergency Off Devices
For safety reasons, install the emergency off devices at each operator control station and at other
operating stations where emergency off may be needed. Pressing the stop key on the control
panel of the drive does not generate an emergency off of the motor or separate the drive from

Selecting the Power Cables (copper only)
General Rules
Dimension the mains (input power) and motor cables according to local regulations:
• Do not use aluminum wires.
The cable must be able to carry the drive load current. See Technical Data for the rated
currents.
The cable must be rated for at least 70º C (158º F) maximum permissible temperature of
conductor in continuous use. For US, follow local codes for cable size, or refer to NEC table
310.16.
The inductance and impedance of the PE conductor/cable (grounding wire) must be rated
according to permissible touch voltage appearing under fault conditions (so that the fault
point voltage will not rise excessively when an ground fault occurs).
• 600 VAC cable is accepted for up to 500 VAC concerning the entire AQUAVAR CPC range.

four-conductor system used up to 30 kW motors cannot be used.
Compared to a four conductor system, the use of symmetrical shielded cable reduces
electromagnetic emission of the whole drive system as well as motor bearing currents and wear
of bearings.
The motor cable and its PE pigtail (twisted screen) should be kept as short as possible in order
to reduce electromagnetic emission as well as capacitive current.
Motor Cable Shield
To effectively suppress radiated and conducted radio-frequency emissions, the shield
conductivity must be at least 1/10 of the phase conductivity. The requirements are easily met
with a copper or aluminum shield. The minimum requirement of the motor cable shield of the
drive is shown below. It consists of a concentric layer of copper wires with an open helix of
copper tape. The better and tighter the shield, the lower the emission level and the bearing
currents.
Additional US Requirements
Type MC continuous corrugated aluminum armor cable with symmetrical grounds or shielded
power cable must be used for the motor cables if metallic conduit is not used. For the North
American market, 600 VAC cable is accepted for up to 500 VAC. For drives rated over 100
amperes, the power cables must be rated for 70ºC (158ºF).

Conduit
Where conduits must be coupled together, bridge the joint with a ground conductor bonded
to the conduit on each side of the joint. Bond the conduits also to the drive enclosure. Use
separate conduits for input power, motor, brake resistors, and control wiring. Do not run
motor wiring from more than one drive in the same conduit.
Armored cable / shielded power cable
The motor cables can be run in the same cable tray as other 460 V power wiring. Control and
signal cables must not be run in the same tray as power cables. Six conductor (3 phases and 3
ground) type MC continuous corrugated aluminum armor cable with symmetrical grounds is
available from the following suppliers (tradenames in parenthesis):
• Anixter Wire & Cable (Philsheath) • BICC General Corp (Philsheath)
• Rockbestos Co. (Gardex) • Oaknite (CLX).
Shielded power cables are available from Belden, LAPPKABEL (OLEFLEX) and Pirelli.

Terminals 28…32 are for RS485 or modbus communications. Use shielded cables. For lengths
of cable beyond 100 feet, use screen connections.
Do not directly ground the RS485 network at any point. Ground all devices on the network
using their corresponding earthing terminals.
As always, the grounding wires should not form any closed loops, and all the devices should
be earthed to a common ground.
Terminate the RS485 network using 120 Ω resistors at both ends of the network. Use the DIP
switch to connect or disconnect the termination resistors. See following diagram and table.

maintenance on the equipment. Ignoring the safety instructions can cause injury or
death. Note: There are parts carrying dangerous voltages near the OMIO board when the
drive is powered.
Separating the Drive and Extension Modules
The drive module is mounted on a trolley that straddles a pedestal. The following procedure
removes mechanical connections so that the drive module and trolley can roll forward for
service access.
1. Disconnect all power sources from the drive/extension modules
and wait at least 5 minutes for internal capacitors to fully
discharge.
2. Remove all front covers from the drive module.
3. Disconnect the control panel cable.
4. Remove the upper side plate from the drive module if convenient.
5. Remove screws (if any) that fasten the drive module to the wall.
6. Inside the pedestal, toward the rear are screws that attach the
drive bus bars to the pedestal bus bars. The connections are
staggered for easy access using a wrench with an extension.
Remove these screws (6).
Torque when re-assembling:
• R7: M8 (5/16 in) screws, 15…22 Nm (11…16 lb ft)
• R8: M10 (3/8 in) screws, 30…44 Nm (22…32 lb ft)
WARNING! Be careful not to drop screws inside the pedestal.
Loose metal pieces inside the unit may cause damage.
7. The following cables between the drive and the extension
module are split by a connector located at the front of the drive.
Disconnect both cables at this location.
The power supply cable to the OMIO board.
The power supply cable to the extensionmodule cooling fan.

note of the terminal colors for use when reconnecting.
9. Carefully remove the cables disconnected in the above steps: Pull
the cables down inside the pedestal and bundle them so that they
will not get damaged or caught in the trolley when the drive mod-
ule is wheeled out.

10. Remove screws fastening the drive module trolley to the
pedestal.
WARNING! These screws are an important step during re-
assembly – the screws are required for grounding the drive.
11. R8: The front of the trolley includes support braces that fold
out. Lift each brace slightly and fold it out.
12. Remove screws that fasten the drive module to the extension
module.
CAUTION! The drive module is now separated and could
tip over. Use care when moving the drive module.
13. Pull on the handle to wheel the drive module out.

set forth by the motor manufacturer (i.e. Franklin Electric). Always consult with the appropriate
motor technical manual for motor compatibility and requirements when using a Variable
Frequency type drives.
NOTE: THE AQUAVAR IS NOT RECOMMENDED FOR RESIDENTIAL WELL APPLICATIONS.
CONSULT CENTRIPRO FOR SUITABLE VARIABLE SPEED CONTROLLERS DESIGNED FOR
RESIDENTIAL WELL PUMPS (e.g. BF15 series).
Service Factor Amps
The submersible pump will sometimes utilize the motor service factor or MAX AMPS.
Therefore, during peak use times, it is recommended to select the appropriate Aquavar based
on the MOTOR MAXIMUM AMPS or service factor amps. Normally, this can be found on
the motor nameplate or the AIM (application, installation manual). This will avoid nuisance
tripping or current overload by the Aquavar. The Aquavar is designed to protect the motor on
overcurrent! Compare the motor max amps with the list of Aquavar models.
NOTE: ALL MOTORS MUST BE THREE PHASE.
Minimum Frequency
Submersible pump motors require a minimum speed or frequency to operate properly.
Because submersible motors use the water to lubricate and cool, they require this minimum
frequency when controlled by a Variable Speed Drive. Franklin has suggested that the
Minimum Frequency is set to at least 30 HZ in the Aquavar. Therefore, it is recommended
to set the Aquavar Minimum Frequency to 30 to 35 HZ (depending on static head) in
programming group 1402. See programming section.
WARNING: FAILURE TO SET THE MINIMUM FREQUENCY FOR SUBMERSIBLE
TURBINE INSTALLATION COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE PUMP AND/OR
MOTOR.
Tank Sizing
An appropriate size diaphragm tank must be sized for smooth operation. The tank will also

“spikes” and switching frequencies found in IGBT type drives, especially when the motor leads
exceed 50 ft. Therefore, a load reactor is required when all of the following conditions are met
for ANY type of AC induction motor (above ground or submersible type):
1. Motor cable length from the Aquavar to the motor is more than 50 wire feet.
2. Drive uses IGBT type of switching (which is industry standard and is used by the Aquavar).
If all of the conditions are present above, then it is recommended to wire a LOAD REACTOR
between the Aquavar output (U2, V2, W2) and the motor. Keep the load reactor as close to
the output of the Aquavar for best results. NOTE: See suggested layout drawing and always

Grounding
NOTE: Always follow local codes for wiring and grounding or refer to the National
Electrical Codes.
Submersible installations are susceptible to stray voltage or grounding problems. It is
recommended to ground the transducer shield to the chassis of the Aquavar cabinet and to
check with a meter for any stray voltage from the three phase motor. Each component of the
electrical Aquavar system should have the same grounding point or reference. Always follow
the submersible motor manufacturer’s recommended installation procedures.
NOTES:
Motors used must be three phase, equal to input voltage.
Standard enclosure is rated for NEMA 1 INDOOR USE ONLY. Consult Factory/ Price
pages for outdoor rated enclosures.
Aquavar CPC not for use on RESIDENTIAL WELL PUMP applications. Consult with factory
for appropriate variable speed controller like the BF15.
Input voltage for the Aquavar can be single phase. Use the U1 , W1 and Ground
connections, and derate the drive by 50% from the three phase rating. Example: 230 volt,
three phase 10 HP Aquavar becomes a 5 HP, 230 volt, single phase rated drive.

MultiPump – Constant Pressure Control
Overview
The Aquavar CPC has the ability to connect and control up to four centrifugal pumps, to
form a Multi-Pump, lead-lag and alternating pumping system. This will allow the operator to

the pumps and motors. The Aquavar units will be hard wired together via the RS485 terminals
(29,30,31), and provide communication to maintain a constant pressure to the system. Once
the lead pump cannot maintain a certain pressure and allows a slight pressure drop, the next

the friction loss will increase as well. The Aquavar can compensate for this friction loss with
the simple adjustment of the parameter 2202 “VALUE INCREASE”. When each Aquavar unit
enables the pump, it will increase the system pressure by the programmed amount. This
pressure is additive with each additional pump. Therefore, if you set this parameter for 3 psi,
and you initial constant pressure is 50 psi, and you have 4 pumps total: (50 psi + 3 psi + 3

should be enough to overcome your calculated head and friction loss, and to provide constant
pressure at the end of the pipe run. NOTE: This program function is not intended for
substitution of proper pipe layout and sizing according to Hydraulic Institute Standards.
This feature may not work for excessive friction losses!
Pump Sequencing
The Aquavar CPC has the ability to operate in a multiple pump with lead and lag pumps.
Each Aquavar will be given an address then operate as Pump 1, Pump 2, Pump 3 or Pump 4.
When Pump 1 cannot maintain the required system pressure and the speed reaches 60 Hz,
then that will trigger the lag pump to come on and help maintain the set pressure. In order
for the lag pump to turn on, the lead pump must be at full speed (Maximum Frequency)
and programmed system pressure drop must be met (VALUE DECREASE). Each Aquavar
controlled pump will vary its speed according to the demand on the entire system. In a
Duplex System, you could have Pump 1 running at full speed 60 Hz, and Pump 2 running at 50

Tank Sizing
Similar to the single pump constant pressure system, the multi-pump system should have
a diaphragm or bladder type tank for system cushion. The tank should be rated for the
maximum system pressure, and be sized for 10-25% of the single pump capacity. This is total
tank volume, not drawdown. If you have a triplex system of 167 GPM per pump capacity,
then your tank size should be a minimum of 17 Gallon capacity. Go to the next higher
tank volume if you have a suction lift or ooded suction. The tank provides small
drawdown capacities on drive start up and provides a “cushion” for the entire system at
normal operation and will provide compressibility at shut-down. The tank pressure will greatly
improve system operation. A larger tank is acceptable and sometimes required, just do not

2. Electrical supply/ motor/ wiring/grounding — check your supply voltage, motor
wiring, transducer wiring, and grounding.
3. Mechanical/Pump/ Rotation — check your pump rotation, rubbing or other mechanical
problems. Pump “ run out”.
4. Hydraulic System/ Piping — check to ensure proper suction and discharge piping
layout, proper NPSHa, air entrainment, vortex, friction loss, system curve compensation
etc.

pumps. When the required demand increases beyond capacity of the variable speed
controlled lead pump, then the FULL SPEED lag pump will turn on. Each relay will be wired
to your constant speed pump starter, sized for the appropriate horsepower and voltage. The
relay outputs located on the terminal control board X1 (SEE DIAGRAM FROM PREVIOUS
PAGE) will actuate when programmed according to the operators desired output. The lag
pumps will turn on when the Aquavar controlled pump cannot keep up to the required
demand. The lag pumps will be operated by across the line starters, and signaled to start
via the Aquavar relays located on terminal’s 19 through 27 of the X1 terminal block. The lag
pumps are referred to as “SLAVE” pumps, because they operate with commands from the
Aquavar controlled “LEAD” pump. The Aquavar controller will actuate the relays, and provide
a time delay for ON/ OFF on each relay.

time delay. The Aquavar CPC has up to three contacts that can be used for “SLAVE” operation.
Wiring/ Connection
The relays used for the SLAVE pump control are dry relay contacts, rated for a MAXIMUM
250 VAC or 30VDC, 2 Amps free from inductivity. Minimum is 500 mW (12V, 10mA). Refer to
diagram below, or in APPENDIX section.
Each relay will be wired to a voltage starter DO NOT EXCEED 250 VOLTS AC through each
relay. Each relay is designed for control power only. It is up to the operator to provide
necessary starters, overloads or fuses for each SLAVE pump motor control. Always follow your

Common Connection (CC) = R01C, R02C, R03C
Normally Open (NO) = R01B, R02B, R03B
SLAVE Pump Sizing/ Piping
It is recommended that each slave pump be sized the same and with the same performance
curve. All necessary check valves, ball valves, or gate valves should be installed in the system
to limit or “choke” each SLAVE pump discharge in order to maintain proper head conditions
and to prevent pressure oscillations or system “hunting”. Follow all recommended Hydraulic
Institute standards for piping size and pipe layout.

MultiPump – Slave Pump Control
Programming Steps
Default settings for each relay are set for NOT USED. Therefore,
the operator will have to access the programming, and go to
GROUP 18 “RELAY OUTPUTS” and set each relay to START
SLAVE. (SEE BELOW FOR DETAILED PROGRAMMING
STEPS.) Each relay is labeled (R01, R02, R03) and can be
programmed to respond based on a drop in system pressure
and delay time in seconds. Therefore, you can control the relay
when the system pressure starts to drop, and you allow a certain time delay in seconds to
respond. When the demand stops, each LAG pump will stop after a time delay, and operation
will return solely to the Aquavar controlled pump.

Locking
The AQUAVAR CPC has three levels of control panel (keypad) locking; LOCAL LOCK,
PARAMETER LOCK and SET POINT LOCK.
PARAMETER LOCK - In parameter lock, parameters may be viewed, however they cannot
be changed. Starting, Stopping, set point changes and drive fault resets may still be
performed using the keypad. A valid password must be entered in parameter group 10.02.
LOCAL LOCK - In local lock, starting and stopping, and setpoint changes are prevented.
Resetting of drive faults is still possible and ON and OFF control.
SET POINT LOCKWhen in the “ON“ position, the set-point cannot be changed from the
control panel. This prevents unwanted changes to Aquavar settings.
To change the drive parameters, including 10.03 LOCAL LOCK, the parameter lock must be
opened. To open the parameter lock, go to parameter 10.02 PASS CODE and scroll to the
number 66 and press ENTER. Parameter 10.01 PARAMETER LOCK will read OPEN.
NOTE: If power to the drive is lost [power failure, disconnect, etc…] parameter 10.01
PARAMETER LOCK will automatically reset to LOCKED.

a fault occurs forcing it to shutdown. If it is operating at minimum speed due to a Secondary
Protect fault, it will stay at minimum speed until the fault is reset.
If a Pump Protect condition exists and CONFIG SPEED MIN is set to MINIMUM FREQ, Aquavar
will try to reset the fault while at minimum speed if parameter 12.02 AUTO RESTART is set to
“ON” and parameter 24.06 ERROR RESET is set for the desired number of attempts. If the fault
has not cleared after the selected number of resets has been attempted, the pump will be
shut down. If parameter 24.06 ERROR RESET = 0, the pump will be shut down upon a Pump
Protect fault.
If parameter 14.03 CONFIG SPEED MIN is set to ZERO “0” (DEFAULT), the drive will stop the
pump for Pump Protect and Secondary Protect faults. The reaction to stop the pump when at
minimum speed can be delayed for up to 1800 seconds by programming parameter 14.04
(Stp Delay Min Spd).
For example, if the MINIMUM FREQ. is set for 35 HZ, and the Stp. Delay Min Spd is
set for 5 seconds, the pump will ramp down to 35HZ and remain at that speed for 5

Parameter Name Value/Range Note(s)
14.03 CONFIG SPD=MINSPD Selecting SPD=MINSPD will result in the drive
SPEED MIN SPD=0 [default] staying at minimum speed until it is manually
shut-off, process demand increases, a secondary
protection fault is cleared, or a pump protection
fault forces it to shutdown.If SPD=0 is selected,
the drive will stop.
14.04 STP DELAY 0-1800 sec This parameter enables the drive to remain at
MIN SPD 0 (default) minimum speed for a period (up to 1800
seconds) before shutting down.
14.05 RESTART 0.0-150% If the drive is shutdown by CONFIG SPEED MIN
VALUE 0 (default) (14.03) due to no system demand (pressure
control and level control modes only) the drive
will sleep until the process actual value drops
below a set restart value (14.05) for longer than
the restart delay (14.06). If operating in inverse
mode (21.01) the drive will sleep until the
process variable rises above the restart value.
Wake-up level in % of setpoint value = 0 – 150%.
Default is 0%. To disable the Restart Value
function enter “0%”.
14.06 RESTART 0-3600 Sec This is the length of time the drive waits
DELAY 0 (default) between starting the pump according to
1405 value.
12.02 AUTO OFF (default) This enables the drive to restart on its own
RESTART ON following a power failure or ERROR RESET.
24.06 ERROR 0 (Default) If the Aquavar unit faults on Pump Protection,
RESET 1-9999 this parameter will reset the fault up to the
selected number of times before completely
shutting off the drive.
24.07 RESET 0-250 seconds The automatic reset of protection faults can be
DELAY 60 seconds (Default) delayed. Default value is 60 seconds.
Restart Value
Allows a pressure or value drop before the Aquavar starts to maintain system pressure. Units
are in % of set value. (e.g. If set pressure is 100 PSI and 14.05 is set for 90%, then the Aquavar
will wait until system pressure drops to 90 PSI before starting.)
Priming Delay
This feature will override the PUMP PROTECT feature and is designed to allow self-priming

Pump Protect Ctrl
This feature is designed to protect the pump from lack of available NPSH, loss of or low
suction, pump run-out. This pump protection feature is exclusive to the Aquavar® and
measures the discharge pressure of the pump via the transducer, and compares it with the
minimum allowed system pressure as entered into parameter (2403) PROTECTION LIMIT. If
this parameter is set, then a time delay will need to be set in number of seconds allowed to
run at or below this limit, before shutting down on a fault.
Parameter Name Value/Range Note(s)

DELAY
NOTE: It is recommended to set this pump protection according to
suggested minimum allowed system requirements. (i.e. pump run-out limits)
Regulation Mode
The regulation mode can either be NORMAL or INVERSE. The default and more common
selection is NORMAL, where the Aquavar software anticipates an increase in system pressure,
and will decrease speed of the pump based on a rising system pressure. If the regulation
mode is set to INVERSE, the process condition is expected to increase with a decrease in
pump speed.
Parameter Name Value/Range Note(s)
21.01 REGULATION NORMAL (Default) Inverse is normally used for control of
MODE INVERSE suction side systems.
EXAMPLE – If an Aquavar unit is trying to control the level in a suction-side tank or sump, the regulation mode
would be set to INVERSE. As the level in the sump increased, Aquavar would respond by increasing pump speed
to maintain a constant level.

Test Run
The TEST RUN capability allows the Aquavar system to run periodically if it has been inactive.
The most common circumstance for which Test Run would be applied is when a standby
pump is infrequently used; the test run would allow lubrication of bearings and help verify if
the unit is ready for operation. The TEST RUN DELAY sets the interval that automatic test runs
will occur at.
Test runs are factory programmed for 20 seconds. This duration cannot be changed. If
Automatic test run is selected, the test run is at 50% of maximum speed.

Window [Parameter 13.06 REG WINDOW] is automatically set based upon the operating
modes and instrument type selected during programming. Values may be adjusted in
parameter 13.06.
EXAMPLE: if the Aquavar unit was in pressure control with the set point at 100 psig, the regulation window
would be factory preset at 8% of the set point. This would result in an 8 PSIG window; 4 PSIG above the set point
and 4 PSIG below the set point.

Suggested settings are above in the notes. Sometimes the REGULATION WINDOW will have to be adjusted to
smooth out the system pressure. Default setting is 8%.
NOTE: If the system pressure drops below or goes above the hysteresis limits (DASHED
lines), then the Aquavar control software will adjust the speed with the fast ramps. This
would occur if you have a rapid demand of water in your system. Normally it takes a few
seconds to level off.

Diagnostic Displays
The drive detects error situations and reports them using:
The green and red LED on the body of the drive.
The status LED on the control panel (if a control panel is attached to the drive).
The control panel display (if a control panel is attached to the drive).
The Fault Word and Alarm Word parameter bits (parameters 0310 to 0311).

The form of the display depends on the severity of the error. You can specify the severity for
many errors by directing the drive to:
• Ignore the error situation.
• Report the situation as an alarm.
• Report the situation as a fault.
Red – Faults
The drive signals that it has detected a severe error, or fault, by:
• Enabling the red LED on the drive (LED is either steady on or blinking).
• Setting an appropriate bit in a Fault Word parameter (0305 to 0307).
• Overriding the control panel display with the display of a fault code.
• Stopping the motor (if it was on).
The fault code on the control panel display is temporary. Pressing any of the following buttons
removes the fault message: MENU, ENTER, UP button or DOWN button. The message reap-
pears after a few seconds if the control panel is not touched and the fault is still active.
Flashing Green – Alarms
For less severe errors, called alarms, the diagnostic display is advisory. For these situations,
the drive is simply reporting that it had detected something “unusual.
The drive signals that it has detected an alarm, by:
• Flashing the green LED on the drive – does not apply to alarms that arise from control
panel operation errors (Alarms 1 to 7).
• Setting an appropriate bit in an Alarm Word parameter (0308 or 0309).

at cooling the drive, overtemperature faults become more likely. In a “normal” environment
(not dusty, clean) check the heatsink annually, in a dusty environment check more often.
Clean the heatsink as follows (when necessary):
1. Remove power from drive
2. Remove the cooling fan (see section “Main Fan Replacement” below)
3. Blow clean compressed air (not humid) from bottom to top and simultaneously use a
vacuum cleaner at the air outlet to trap the dust.
Note: If there is a risk of the dust entering adjoining equipment, perform the cleaning in
another room.
4. Replace the cooling fan
5. Restore power
Main Fan Replacement
The drive’s main cooling fan has a life span of about 60,000 operating hours at maximum
rated operating temperature and drive load. The expected life span doubles for each 10º C
(18º F) drop in the fan temperature (fan temperature is a function of ambient temperatures
and drive loads).
Fan failure can be predicted by the increasing noise from fan bearings and the gradual rise
in the heatsink temperature in spite of heatsink cleaning. If the drive is operated in a critical
part of a process, fan replacement is recommended once these symptoms start appearing.

can be prolonged by lowering the ambient temperature.
It is not possible to predict a capacitor failure. Capacitor failure is usually followed by a input
power fuse failure or a fault trip. Contact factory if capacitor failure is suspected. Replace-

Sizing
The current ratings are the same regardless of the supply voltage within one voltage range.
To achieve the rated motor power given in the table, the rated current of the drive must be
higher than or equal to the rated motor current.
Note 1: The maximum allowed motor shaft power is limited to 1.5 · ATimes Rated HP. If
the limit is exceeded, motor torque and current are automatically restricted. The function
protects the input bridge of the drive against overload.
Note 2: The ratings apply in ambient temperature of 40º C (104º F).
Derating
The load capacity (current and power) decreases if the installation site altitude exceeds 1000
meters (3300 ft), or if the ambient temperature exceeds 40º C (104º F) or if 8 kHz switching
frequency (parameter 5001) is used.
Temperature Derating
In the temperature range +40º C…50º C (+104º F…122º F) the rated output current is de-
creased 1% for every 1º C (1.8º F) above +40º C (+104º F). The output current is calculated by
multiplying the current given in the rating table by the derating factor.
Example: If the ambient temperature is 50º C (+122º F) the derating factor is
100% - 1%/ºC x 10º C = 90% or 0.90.
The output current is then 0.90 x I2N or 0.90 x I2hd.
Altitude Derating
The derating is 1% for every 100 m (330 feet) above 3300 feet. If the installation site is higher
than 2000 m (6600 feet) above sea level, please contact the factory for assistance.
Single Phase Supply Derating
For 208…240 Volt series drives, a single phase supply can be used. In that case, the derating
is 50%, for the maximum amps and corresponding power rating of the three phase drive at
208-230 Volt input.
Switching Frequency Derating
If the 8 kHz switching frequency (parameter 5001) is used, derate HP and current output to
80%.

Degrees of Protection
Available enclosures:
IP 21 / UL Type 1 Enclosure. The site must be free of airborne dust, corrosive gases or
liquids, and conductive contaminants such as condensation, carbon dust and metallic par-
ticles. Indoor use only.
IP 54 / UL Type 12 Enclosure. This enclosure provides protection from airborne dust and
light sprays or splashing water from all directions. Indoor use only.
UL Type 3R- Enclosures are intended for outdoor use to provide a degree of protection
from falling rain. Undamaged by the formation of ice on the enclosure. May be cooled
by forced air and louvers for vents. This rating is met by placing the drive into a NEMA 3R
Enclosure.
Compared to the IP 21 / UL Type 1 Enclosure, the IP 54 / UL Type 12 Enclosure has:
The same internal plastic shell as the IP 21 Enclosure.
• A different outer plastic cover.
• An additional internal fan to improve cooling.
• Larger dimensions.
The same rating (does not require a derating).
• Plastic gasketed cover for keypad.
