Introduction
This manual is written for booster station owners and
is a basic overview to the XLS HMI (Human Machine
Interface). For more detailed start-up/service please
contact your local Bell and Gossett Representative.
The HMI is a browser- based system which allows
the user to interact with the settings and reports of
the pumping system.

c. This section will default to the “unchecked”
position as shown. By ”checking” one of these
boxes, you will be forcing that pump to be the lead
pump when alternation occurs. Only one box
needs to be checked. If multiple boxes are
