Delay. If the counter shows zero, it is not counting. If a time is counting down this may be the reason
that a pump does not start until the time is finished. If the function for service time is activated you
will see how long time is left until the next scheduled maintenance of the pump.
The E-key is used to see the actual values, total values and the values for the last 7 days for efficiency,
flow and overflow.
When you press the E-key once if energy meter is used you will come to efficiency. If not you will go
directly to the flow display. When you press the E-key a second time you will come to flow and when
you press the E-key a third time you will come to overflow.
When you are in the Efficiency display, the actual values are shown first. When you press the key ►,
you will come to the total values. When you press the ► key once more, you will come to the values
for today. In the same way, you continue for the values for 7 days back. This is valid for flow as well
as overflow.

4.3 Alarm handling key A
The pump controller PC-2000-W has the capacity to handle a great number of different alarms for
pumps, station and even internal alarms. Every alarm generates an information window when
activated, with information about which alarm is activated, activation time and if it is an A or B-alarm.
At the same time, one or two alarm LEDs is blinking until the alarm is confirmed.
5 minutes after the alarm text is shown on the screen the screen light go off and the alarm text
disappears.
The alarms are then indicated via the two alarm LEDs.
Blinking red light indicates a new alarm, which is not confirmed.
Fixed red light indicates that the alarm is confirmed but still active.
There are two types of alarms. A-alarms and B-alarms.
A-alarm is an alarm that calls a supervision system or sends a text message to a mobile phone.
B-alarm is an alarm that only is registered in the alarm history but is not sent to an external system.
This text is shown in the display window when the alarm starts, but will disappear after 5 minutes
when the screen light is shut down. When the screen is shut down, you will see that there is an alarm
in the alarm list by the two alarm LEDs. To access the alarm you press the A key to enter into the
alarm handling menu:

Sequential stop– If you have more than one working pump each
pump will stop when the starting float of the previous pump is
reached, the last working pump will stop with the stop (low level)
float.
General stop – all pumps will stop with the stop (low level) float
they will stop with a short delay between each stop which is set
under station settings/times-delays/min time stops.
Own float stop –in this case each pump has one float which starts
the pump, when the switch goes inactive, a time starts to run and
the pump stops when this time expires. This running time is set

² Alarm type not active – If you chose not to activate an alarm function on an input, you will not get
an alarm when an input is activated. If a signal for example “Motor protection” or “Temperature
protection” stops the pump it may be confusing to find that a pump has been stopped /blocked but that
there is no alarm.
If you have configured an input in this way, you have to go to the pump information (P-Key) window
to find the reason why the pump has stopped in the pump status window.
³ Block pump – On some inputs (For ex. temp.protect) you can choose to block the pump when the
signal is activated. A blocked pump means that a pump, which has stopped on an alarm, cannot start
again until the alarm has been confirmed. If you chose not to block the pump the pump will start again
as soon as the alarm has is deactivated.

The unit has 7 analogue mA signal inputs 0/4 – 20 mA 24 VDC. These are used for following
predefined functions:
Level sensor - for connecting a level sensor with 0/4 – 20 mA, for example, a DripDrop AB SP-25
submersible pressure sensor.
Flow meter – is used to connect external flow meter with 0/4-20 mA signal.
There are three different options to use this signal.
1. Ext. flow – external flowmeter, where the signal is displayed and used for logging.
2. Out flow – external flow meter same as option 1, but the signal is also used for the pump
capacity calculation.
3. Overflow – external flow measuring device to read the overflow rates and display them and to
register in logger.
Pump current – you can measure the current of the pumps by using an A/mA converter. By
monitoring the pump current, you control if the pump is running or not, and protect the pumps from
overloading and low motor current by dry running etc.

Intruder alarm/ person alarm– for this purpose you use an analogue input in series with a resistance
to create a digital signal. This signal indicates that someone is present in the station and can be used
for safety alarm or as an intruder alarm.
The function person alarm is activated via a signal wire that is connected to the light switch of the
station and starts a time counter, which after a set time activates a relay output. This relay output can
be connected to siren or flashing light to tell the operator that the established time for operator work is
expiring and has to be extended. If this is not done in time, a person alarm is sent. To avoid that the
alarm is sent the light switch has to be switched off and on again.
nu
For the function intruder alarm, this input is activated via for ex. a wire to a magnetic switch in the
door and starts an internal time counter, which after a set time activates a relay output. This output can
be connected to a siren or warning light at the same time that an intruder alarm is sent. To avoid that
an alarm is sent, the correct code has to be entered via the keyboard of PC-2000.

In applications where all or some of the pumps have long periods without use, we recommend to run
the equipment during short periods of time just to maintain them in good conditions. In this menu, you
set the interval you want the equipment to start (maximum 1000 hours).
Check for[s]
Here you set for how long the equipment is going to do its maintenance operation at the set
maintenance interval.
5.4.7 Service time
All pumps have to be maintained at a certain time interval due to operation conditions. For an easier
control of when to maintain the equipment, the PC-2000-W has a function where you set the time
between maintenance operations. When this time expires, an alarm will activate a text indicating that
the pump is due for its scheduled maintenance.
5.4.8 Random starts
When the pumps always starts at the same start level there will be a built-dup of grease and fat on the
pit walls at the start level. To avoid this, a random start span can be set. With the random start span the
pump will randomly, start somewhere within this set span around the start level. In this way the starts
will not always be at the same level, but for example if the random start span is set to 10cm, pump will
start somewhere within this 10cm span (5cm above and 5cm below) the set start level.

5.4.9 Running confirmation
The confirmation if the pump actually is running or not is a fundamental function in a pump controller.
If the running confirmation is used you will actually know that the pump is running, and if there is no
running confirmation the unit will trigger an alarm and try to start next pump in the alternation cycle.
The PC-2000-W unit has two different ways to confirm the operation of the pumps:
1. By measuring the pump current (analogue input) by the use of current converters and with the
corresponding analogue input activated.
2. Using the analogue input as digital, connect the supplied resistor in series with the input signal from
the pumps starting device (contactor, soft starter etc.).
Running confirmation with current transformer
With digital signal (no current measurement)
If your application does not measure the pump current the running confirmation will be done by using
the analogue input for the pump as a digital signal input, using the pumps analogue motor current
input in series with a resistance. When using this way of confirming the operation of the pump, you
have to deactivate the analogue input for pump current, under I/O setting.

properly before the current monitoring starts.
5.4.10 Motor current settings
Measurement of the pump-current consumption is used to check for normal operation. Over and
under-current settings will be explained below:
Blocking pumps – when you get an alarm for under or over current, the pumps will always stop. Once
stopped, we can choose to block the pump until the operator has confirmed the alarm, or we can
choose not to block the pump, allowing it to start again when its turn comes in the alternation cycle,
without confirmation of the alarm by the operator.
Pump start time – to avoid the generation of current alarms during the start up of the pumps, there is
a delay timer that allow the pump to properly start before the generation of alarms, for example while
ramping up using a soft starter.
Under current
The undercurrent function is made to protect the pump from operating in undercurrent conditions as
for example running without water or clogging of the impeller that prevent the pump to pump but
don´t brake the rotation of the impeller.
Over current
Over current situations is generally when something is clogged in the pump in a way that blocks the
impeller and therefore raises the current consumption.

5.4.11 Pump capacity
If you have activated the flow calculation function (5.5.6), or uses an external flowmeter (in capacity
mode 5.3.4) in the PC 2000-W, one of the functions in the flowcalculation function is to control the
capacity of the pump. The function is a useful tool to have an indication when the pumps capacity is
decreasing due to wear or simply by clogging of the impeller. Once you have entered the nominal
pump capacity, this is merely a reference value, you will set the minimum capacity for the pump. Once
this value is reached, an alarm for low pump capacity will be generated.
5.4.12 Reset motor protection
Sometimes when there are long distances to the pumping station it might be useful to have automatic
resetting of the motor protection when tripped. The PC-2000-W has this capability and will make a
numbers of retries to reset the motor protection before an alarm is generated.
The function is that when the motor protection trips, the PC-2000-W will wait during a pause time,
and then generate an output pulse for a numbers of seconds. If the protection keeps tripping the
sequence will repeated for a set number of times before an alarm is generated. If the motor protection
is reset correctly, the pump will go back to normal operation.

5.5 Station settings
In this menu, you do all the settings that has to do with the pump sump and the functions related to
general settings in the pumping station.
5.5.1 Alternation
The controller has two different ways to alternate the pumps:
1. Cyclic – meaning that the pumps alternate in a cyclic manner, one after the other, i.e. they start
in the first cycle 1,2,3,4 and the next cycle 2,3,4,1 and so on.
2. By running time – meaning that the pump with less running operations always will start first.
In this way, the pumps will have an even distribution of the running times between each other.
The second setting in alternation settings (On failure: yes), is to establish if the next pump will start in
the alternation cycle, when the running pump fails, or not
- If you set “on failure” to yes, the next pump in the cycle will start with a short time delay (see
time/delays menu), when the running pump fails.
- If you set “on failure “ to no, after failure of the running pump, the next pump will wait to the level
in the sump reaches the start level before it starts.

5.5.2 Time/delays
In this menu, you set a number of timers and delays that are common to all pumps and some functions
in the pumping station.
Start delay – Is a signal delay for starting the pump when the start level is reached, for example when
there is turbulence on the surface in the pump sump.
Stop delay – Is a signal delay for stopping the pump at the stop level.
Min time starts – This is the minimum time allowed between the start of two pumps.
Min time stops – This is the minimum time allowed between the stop of two pumps.
Switching time- When a pump fails, this is the delay between the stop of a pump and the start of next
pump in the alternation cycle.
Back-up time – This is the time the pump(s) are going to operate on back-up operation when a single
start level switch is used. After start of the pump with the level switch, this time will start to count
from the moment that the level switch goes off.
Day /night – if different start/stop levels are used during day and night, this is where the definition of
what´s day and what´s night, is made.

5.5.4 Cleaning sequences
The controller has two different cyclic cleaning functions, one is for cleaning of the pump pit, and one
is for the flushing of the pipes.
1. Cleaning of the pump pit.
This function will allow for the cleaning of the floating debris and accumulated fats in the pump
pit. This will be made by, at a set frequency, bypass the normal stop level and pump down the pit
until the pumps starts to snore. At this point the pump will keep snoring during a preset stop delay,
thus sucking up all floating material, this snoring action also creates turbulence under the pump so
it also will pump out settled sediments around the pump.
You might set frequency to perform this cleaning by setting how many pump cycles between
cleaning sequence, the alternative stop level and the necessary stop delay.
When in a cleaning cycle this will be indicated by a “C” in the lower right corner of the display.
DripDrop recommends that you always check with the pump supplier if the pumping
equipment is suited for this kind of operation.
2. Pipe cleaning function.
In order to avoid solids settling in oversized piping systems, the controller have a function that
allow the bypass of the normal start level (to create a larger volume to pump), and start more
pumps than normal to create a flushing effect that flush out sediments in the piping system. Also in
this function, you can set at which frequency you want the system to be flushed by setting number
of pump cycles between flushing sequences, you will set the alternative start level and how many
pumps to be included in the flushing sequence.
When in a flushing sequence this will be indicated by a “P” in the lower right corner of the main
display.

- Then you will set at what interval the mixing will be done i.e. how
many pump cycles between mixing cycles.
-Then define at what level you want the mixing to start, and possible

5.5.5 Mixer settings
For larger pump pits or dry installed pump pits, the use of a mixing device is recommended to keep the
pump sump clean. For this, it is recommendable to install a mixing or flushing device inside the pump
pit. The controller has two (2) independent mixing device outputs, with individual settings.
Always check with the supplier of the mixing device if it is designed to operate in your
type of application.
For the mixing function, the controller has two separate forms of controlling the mixing device.
1. Start by level and stop by timer - during filling or emptying of the pit and stopping by a
timer. With this option, you might set the function to start during filling phase (before
pumping) or the emptying phase (while pumping). The criteria of the frequency of the mixing
is by setting number of pump cycles between mixing starts. The stopping of the mixing is made
by setting the running time by a timer.
2. Start and stop by timer – in this option you will set an idle time and a running time for the
mixing device. It will start at the elapsed idle time and keep running for the set operation time.
With this option, the mixing will operate independent of the level in the pit. To avoid the
mixing while pumping (important at large flows) there is a function where you can block the
mixing while the pump is running.

Flow compensation for more than one pump in
the system.
Due to the characteristics of the losses in the
piping, the losses are not linear and when a
second and a third pump is started a correction to
the pump flow has to be done. This is done by
entering the individual flow of each pump as a
percentage to the nominal flow of one pump
running. This percentage is a function of the
system curve, and have to be calculated by timing
the pumps during operation of 2,3 and 4 pumps
running in the system.

5.5.6 Flow calculation
The controller has the capability to calculate the incoming and outgoing flow as well as monitoring the pumps
capacity. This is done by monitoring the changes in the level, timing these changes and applying these level
changes to the geometry of the pump pit, by entering dimensions of the pump pit.
This function is basically a tool to monitor and control the pumps capacity and to be able to monitor the pump
efficiency.
Above a minimum level for flow calculation level in the pit, the inflow is calculated at all times, and shown in
the display.
When a pump starts, the inflow is locked at its value at the moment the pump starts. After an adjustable start
delay, the outflow and pump capacity is being calculated, and also shown in the display window.
The calculated inflow and the pumped volume/time unit results in the pump capacity and outflow.
In the flow calculation menu you will set the time span during which the in and out calculations are made,
delays for starting and stopping the calculations as well as correction factors when more than one pump is
running in the system. In this menu, you also enter into a submenu where you define the geometry of the pump
pit.

controller. This is done by dividing the pit up to 8 different levels and introducing each corresponding
area at each level.
The bottom of the pump pit is always level 0, if the pit has vertical walls it will suffice to give two
levels, for example level 0 and level 1. If there are changes in the geometry of the pit, it is necessary to
give one separate level at each change of area, covering the total volume of the pit.
5.5.7 Overflow calculation
In this menu, you set the values for the overflow calculation and volume.
For more information, please contact your DripDrop AB representative.
5.5.8 Specific energy calculation type
If there is a power meter connected to the controller, and the flow is registered, the specific energy can
be calculated and shown in a window under the E key.
In this menu, you can choose which flow measuring type to use in the specific energy calculation.
The options are Flow-p (pulse), Flow-a (analogue flow signal) and Flow-c (computed flow)
-0% - Enter the corresponding level to 0 % of the bar.
-100% - Enter the corresponding level at 100 % on the graph
(normally the maximum level in the pump pit).
Miscellaneous menu
This menu is made up of a number of submenues, where we will
describe each one individually.
5.6 Miscellaneous
In the miscellaneous menu you will find the settings for access codes, some system specific settings,
communications and factory settings for example.
5.6.1 Operator access code,
To be able to view the different access codes and change them it is necessary to first have logged in
with system access code.
In this menu you can view and change both factory defined access codes, Operator and System codes.
To define a new code you can use a combination of the four-arrow keys ◄▼▲► and the six letter
keys P,E,A,L,S y X to create the desired new access code.
5.6.2 Level bar graph
This function is to scale the level bar graph on the main display for a better resolution in the display
window.

Then you will set the parity. Factory setting is None.
Then you will set the stop bits. The factory
setting is set to 1.
If you are to communicate to a supervision system you need to
define what type of communication protocol to use.
And finally you will need to give the controller the unit direction and
unique station ID.
In the submenu for RS232 settings you will select the
communication settings menu to define different communication
parameters.
Logger setting menu
-Here you define the interval to take samples for the logger from 1 to
10 minutes.
-Here you tell the controller how to save the data in the logger to
better adapt to different Scada systems. The options are
ring registers and stack registers.
5.6.3 Logger
This menu is to set the sample interval of the logger and the principle of how to save the logger data to
fit different SCADA systems
5.6.4 RS232 settings
The communication settings menus consists of two different submenus where the first deals with the
communication settings and the second one with connection settings.
5.6.4.1 Communication settings
Once you have defined the parameters for the communication next step is how to carry out the
connection, which communication device to use and the settings you need for that device to work
properly. The connection alternatives are:
1. Direct communication – meaning communication that is always open from point to point.
2. Dial-up communication – where the communication is established by dialling from one device to
another, for example fixed telephone line or GSM telephone.
3. GSM-SMS communication – which is the sending of SMS messages over the GSM network.

In case you choose a modem that needs a Hayes
comand to establish a connection, here you can put the string. You
should consult the modem manual.
In this position the type modem e must be choosen: PSTN or Mobile
GSM.
If a GSM modem is used you will be given the possibility of using
the PIN code for the SIM card. DripDrop AB does NOT recommend
to use it.
This data is the phone number of the GSM modem that connects
with the SCADA system.
Here we can define if we want the unit to retry the dial up, and how
many times. In this case, there is a defined time between each retry.
In some applications, you want to know when an
alarm goes off, here you can activate the function to call in when
the alarm goes off.
Here you can define if you want the alarms to be acknowledged
remotely or not.
There is a modem re-init function for the modem, using the Digital
output 07 in the powersupply circuit to the modem. You can set an
re-init interval for the modem as well as the pulselenght for the
initialization pulse.
5.6.4.2.1 Direct communication
The direct communication is the easiest way to communicate, as it is a transparent communication that
is open at all time. This communication type is used for example for radio communication.
5.6.4.2.2 Dial-up communication.
The dial-up communication is based on that a dial-up is realized in order to establish the contact
between the two points of connection. This is made by the use of a PSTN telephone connection or a
GSM telephone system.
The use of this type of communication require a PSTN telephone modem or a GSM modem.
Once chosen the modem type to use, you will set some parameters on how the modems will work.

Here you set the three possible telephone numbers to receive the
SMS messages.
This is the name of the station, so that when the user
receives a message he can identify which station sent it.
If you choose to acknowledge the alarms remotely, here you define
the time limit for the alarms to be acknowledged. If the alarm is not
acknowledged within this time, the unit will send the alrm to the next
mobile in the list.
In case you choose a modem that needs a Hayes
comand to establish a connection, here you can put the string. You
should consult the modem manual.
You will be given the possibility of using the PIN code for the SIM
card. DripDrop does recommend NOT to use it.
Here you define if you want the alarms to be acknowledged

5.6.4.2.3 GSM-SMS Communication
This communication option is used for sending and receiving of SMS messages by a GSM mobile
phone. DripDrop recommends the use of a Westermo GDW-11 modem for this.
You will need a normal SIM card with the SMS function activated.
Even though you can use a SIM card with a PIN code, DripDrop recommends deactivating the PIN
code from the SIM card.
The function permit to send SMS text alarms to three different mobile phones and depending on the
settings in the menu the SMS message can be sent to all three at the time or they can be sent to one at a
time, with a time delay before the next number in the list is called.
