Lead/Lag Operation
The Mercoid®MPCJR pump controller is designed to easily operate a pair of pumps
in the most efficient manner possible. The controller has a 'lead/lag' feature that
allows two pumps to operate in an alternating fashion to minimize wear.
®
The Mercoid
MPCJR pump controller has a pair of set points each for pump 1 and
pump 2. If the lead/lag feature is turned off, S P 1H and SP1 L control pump 1 and SP 2 H
and SP 2L control pump 2. If the lead/lag feature is turned on, pumps 1 and 2 will be
controlled in the alternating fashion described below. In all cases the P1 lamp will
indicate activity of pump 1 and the P2 lamp will indicate activity of pump 2. The
lead/lag operation is set in the Secure menu with the item Ld L g.
Lead/Lag On
After installation, set the SP 1H to the high level (pump on point) for standard
operation. Set SP 1L to the low level (pump off point). Set the SP 2H to the level where
you want BOTH pumps to turn on (emergency pump on). Set the S P2 L to the level
where you want the second pump to turn off (emergency pump off).
The controller will not allow you to set SP 1 H below SP 1L , S P 1L above SP 1 H, S P 2H
below SP 2L , or S P2 L above SP 2H . The controller will not allow you to set any set
point or alarm point above or below the programmed scale. No error messages are
generated. The displayed value will stop at an allowable point just above (or below,
as the case may be) the maximum or minimum allowed.
In normal operation, when the S P1 H point is reached, one of the pumps will turn on.
When lead/lag is turned on, pumps 1 and 2 will alternate. If the level reaches the
SP 2H point, both pumps will be turned on until the S P 2L point is reached, where one
of the pumps will turn off. When S P1L is reached, remaining running pump will turn
off. The last pump off will not be the next pump on.
Lead/Lag Off
If lead/lag is turned off, S P 1H and SP 1L control pump 1 and S P2 H and S P 2L control
pump 2. There is no alternating function.

OPERATION RV, RC ISOLATED ANALOG RETRANSMISSION
The analog retransmission option allows the Process Variable or the Set Variable
to be sent as an analog signal to an external device. The signal may be either 0 to
10 VDC (Option RV) or 0 (or 4) to 20 mA DC (Option RC). The output may be
changed in the field from one to the other by the toggle switch located on the top
printed circuit board.
Wire the output as shown on page 5.
To set up the analog retransmission, first determine the scale range that the analog
signal will represent. The maximum scale is 9999 counts. In the Secondary Menu
set PO L for the the scale value that will be represented by the low end of the analog
signal (0 Volts or 0 mA). Set PO H for the scale value that will be represented by the
high end of the analog signal (10 Volts or 20 mA).
If you require a suppressed scale or output, you may use the following equations
to determine the proper settings for P O L and PO H .
K= (Highest desired scale reading - Lowest desired scale reading)/(Maximum
desired analog signal - Minimum desired analog signal).
POH= ((Maximum possible analog output - Maximum desired analog signal) *K) +
Highest desired analog reading.
POL = Lowest desired scale reading - ((Minimum desired analog output) *K).
Operation is automatic. There are no further programming steps required.

OPTION 232, 485 SERIAL COMMUNICATION OPERATION
The serial communications options allow the control to be written to and read from
a remote computer or other similar digital device. Communication is allowed either
through a RS-485 (Option 485) port, or a RS-232 (Option 232) port.
Wire the communication lines as shown on Page 7. Wiring for the RS-485 is run
from control to control in a daisy chain fashion with a termination resistor (120
ohms) across the transmit and receive terminals of the last control in the chain. Set
the RS-485 DIP switch for half or full duplex as appropriate for your application.
The DIP switch is located on the communications board plugged into the center of
the bottom board of the control.
Select the control address and communication baud rate with the A ddr and bA Ud
menu items in the Secure Menu. THE BAUD RATE AND ADDRESS MENU ITEMS
WILL TAKE EFFECT ON THE NEXT POWER UP OF THE CONTROL. BE SURE
TO POWER CYCLE THE CONTROL BEFORE USING THE NEW BAUD RATE
AND ADDRESS.
In operation, you have the option of preventing a write command from the host
computer. To prevent the host from writing to the control change the L O rE menu
item in the Secondary Menu to LO C . To allow the host to write commands to the
control set L Or E to r E. (The host does have the ability to change the L Or E state,
but it is not automatic.)
If your system depends on constant reading or writing to and from the host, you
may wish to set the No Activity Timer (nA t ) to monitor the addressing of the control.
When the L O rE is set to rE and the n At is set to any value other than O FF , the
control will expect to be addressed on a regular basis. If the control is not
addressed in the time set by the value of nA t , then the control will display the error
message C H EC L Or E . To clear the message set L Or E t o LO C .

MENU SELECTIONS
Notation Conventions for the Menus
Because of the number of features available in this control, information is included
that may not apply to your specific control. All usable features are included in this
book, but may not be used in your process. To increase clarity the following
conventions are used:
1. Certain features or functions shown in this book are contextual. This means that
Menu Items may or may not appear, depending on other Menu Item selections.
Whenever this occurs, a notation is made in the Menu Item that "controls" or
"directs" other menu items. If you are looking for a particular menu item and can't
find it, check the menu item that is its "control" for proper setting.
2. The "#" symbol is used in two ways. It is used inside a group of characters to
indicate which set point function (SP1 or SP2) is being affected. It is also used
before a group of characters of a menu item to indicate that there may be more than
one selection or value for that menu item.

ALARM TYPE AND ACTION
ABSOLUTE ALARMS
DEVIATION ALARMS
CAUTION: In any critical application where failure could cause expensive product
loss or endanger personal safety, a redundant limit controller is
required.
When setting an alarm value for an absolute alarm (A 1 t = A bS or
A2 t = Ab S ), simply set the value at which the alarm is to occur.
When setting the alarm value for a deviation alarm (A 1 t = d E o r A2 t = dE ), set
the difference in value from the Set Point (S P1 H) desired.
Since the input for the MPCJR is driven from a transmitter, the input display can be
programmed in different ways. Regardless of the position of the decimal point, a
change of one in the right most digit is referred to as a count. For example, if there
were no decimal point selected, a change from 235 to 236 is a change of one count.
If the decimal point were selected at 0 . 0, a change of 23.5 to 23.6 is a change of
one count.
The following diagram (below) shows the action and reset functions for both
absolute and deviation alarms.
When setting up an alarm for deviation the deviation is set in counts. For example
if a low alarm is required to be 5 counts below the S P 1H , then set A #L o to -5. If a
high alarm is required 20 counts above the S P 1H , then set A# H ito +20. If S P1H is
changed, the alarm will continue to hold the same relationship as originally set.
When Alarm Power Interrupt, A # Pi , is programmed ON and Alarm Reset, A# rE , is
programmed for Hold, the alarm will automatically reset upon a power failure and
subsequent restoration if no alarm condition is present.
If Alarm Inhibit, A# iH , is selected ON, an alarm condition is suspended upon power
up until the process value passes through the alarm set point once. Alarm inhibit
can be restored as if a power up took place by pressing both the INDEX and
ENTER keys for 5 seconds.
www.GlobalTestSupply.com
17
WARNING: IF INHIBIT IS ON AND A POWER FAILURE OCCURS DURING
A HIGH ALARM, RESTORATION OF POWER WILL NOT CAUSE THE
ALARM TO OCCUR IF THE PROCESS VALUE DOES NOT FIRST DROP
BELOW THE HIGH ALARM SETTING. DO NOT USE THE ALARM INHIBIT
FEATURE IF A HAZARD IS CREATED BY THIS ACTION. BE SURE TO
