4.1.6 Outdoor installation
The enclosure class of MLE motor is a NEMA 3 rating. If you
install the motor outdoors, provide the motor with a suitable cover
and open the drain holes to avoid condensation on the electronic
components. See figs 2 and 3.
When fitting a cover to the motor, observe the
guideline in section 4.1.5 Ensuring motor cooling.
The cover must be sufficiently large to ensure that the motor is
not exposed to direct sunlight, rain or snow. Grundfos does not
supply covers. We therefore recommend that you have a cover
built for the specific application. In areas with high humidity, we
recommend that you enable the built-in standstill heating
function. See section 7.21 "Standstill heating".
Fig. 2 Examples of covers (not supplied by Grundfos)
In order to maintain the UL mark, additional
requirements apply to the equipment. See Appendix,
page 66.
4.1.7 Drain holes
When the motor is installed in moist surroundings or areas with
high humidity, the bottom drain hole must be open. The enclosure
class of the motor will then be lower. This helps prevent
condensation in the motor as the motor becomes self-venting,
and it allows water and humid air to escape.
The motor has a plugged drain hole on the drive side. You can
turn the flange 90 ° to both sides or 180 °.

The total leakage current of all the electrical equipment in the
installation must be taken into account. You find the leakage
current of the motor in sections 10.3.2 Leakage current and
10.4.2 Leakage current (AC).
This product can cause a direct current in the protective ground
conductor.
Overvoltage and undervoltage protection
Overvoltage and undervoltage may occur in case of unstable
power supply or a faulty installation. The motor is stopped if the
voltage falls outside the permissible voltage range. The motor
restarts automatically when the voltage is again within the
permissible voltage range. Therefore, no additional protection
relay is required.
The motor is protected against transients from the
TM05 3942 1812TM05 3495 1512
power supply according to EN 61800-3. In areas with
high lightning intensity, we recommend external
lightning protection.
Overload protection
If the upper load limit is exceeded, the motor automatically
compensates for this by reducing the speed and stops if the
overload condition persists.
The motor remains stopped for a set period. After this period, the
motor automatically attempts to restart. The overload protection
prevents damage to the motor. Consequently, no additional motor
protection is required.
Overtemperature protection
The electronic unit has a built-in temperature sensor as an
additional protection. When the temperature rises above a certain
level, the motor automatically compensates for this by reducing
the speed and stops if the temperature keeps rising. The motor
remains stopped for a set period. After this period, the motor
automatically attempts to restart.
Protection against phase unbalance
Three-phase motors must be connected to a power supply with a
quality corresponding to IEC 60146-1-1, class C, to ensure
correct motor operation at phase unbalance. This also ensures
long life of the components.

The pumps have been factory-set to constant-curve control
mode. You can change the control mode with R100 or Grundfos
GO.
5.1.2 Pumps with factory-fitted pressure sensor
The pumps have a built-in PI controller and are set for a pressure
sensor enabling the control of the outlet pressure.
The pumps have been factory-set to constant-pressure control
mode. The pumps are typically used to keep a constant pressure
in variable-demand systems.
5.1.3 Settings
The description of settings applies both to pumps without
factory-fitted sensor and to pumps with a factory-fitted pressure
sensor.
Setpoint
You can set the desired setpoint in three ways:
• on the pump control panel
• via an input for external setpoint signal
• with the Grundfos wireless R100 remote control or Grundfos
GO.
Other settings
Make all other settings with R100 or Grundfos GO.
You can read important parameters, such as the actual value of
the control parameter and power consumption, via R100 or
Grundfos GO.
If special or customized settings are required, use Grundfos PC
Tool. Contact your local Grundfos company for more information.

7.3 "Set manual speed"
This menu is only available in the advanced control panel. With
Grundfos GO, you set the speed via the "Setpoint" menu.
You can set the pump speed in % of the maximum speed. When
you have set the operating mode to "Manual", the pump runs at
the set speed.
We recommend this control mode if the pump is to deliver a
constant pressure, independently of the flow in the system. See
fig. 35.
Fig. 35 "Constant pressure"
This control mode uses the factory-fitted pressure sensor, if any,
which measures the outlet pressure of the pump.
For pumps without a factory-fitted sensor, you must connect a
pressure sensor to one of the analog inputs of the pump. You can
set the pressure sensor in the "Assist" menu. See section
7.41 "Assisted pump setup".

VLSE●
The head of the pump is reduced at decreasing water demand
and increased at rising water demand. See fig. 48.
Use this control mode in systems with relatively large pressure
losses in the distribution pipes. The head of the pump increases
proportionally to the flow in the system to compensate for the
large pressure losses in the distribution pipes. You can set the
setpoint with an accuracy of 3.94 in (0.1 m). The head against a
closed valve is half the setpoint.

However, if the factory setting is not the optimum setting, you can
change the gain and the integral time:
• Set the gain within the range from 0.1 to 20.
• Set the integral-action time within the range from 0.1 to 3600
seconds.
If you select 3600 seconds, the controller functions as a P
controller.
Furthermore, you can set the controller to inverse control.
This means that if you increase the setpoint, the speed is
reduced. In the case of inverse control, you must set the gain
within the range from -0.1 to -20.

This function can monitor a measured parameter or one of the
internal values such as speed, motor load or motor current. If a
set limit is reached, a selected action can take place. You can set
two limit-exceeded functions meaning that you can monitor two
parameters or two limits of the same parameter simultaneously.
The function requires setting of the following:
"Measured"
Here you set the measured parameter which is to be monitored.
"Limit"
Here you set the limit which activates the function.
"Hysteresis band"
Here you set the hysteresis band.
"Limit exceeded when"
Here you can set if you want the function to activate when the
selected parameter exceeds or drops below the set limit.
• "Above limit".
The function is activated if the measured parameter exceeds
the set limit.
• "Below limit".
The function is activated if the measured parameter drops
below the set limit.
"Action"
If the value exceeds a limit, you can set an action. You can select
the following actions:
• "No action".
The pump remains in its current state. Use this setting if you
only want to have a relay output when the limit is reached. See

Detection delay
You can set a detection delay which ensures that the monitored
parameter stays above or below a set limit in a set time before the
function is activated.
Resetting delay
The resetting delay is the time from which the measured
parameter differs from the set limit including the set hysteresis
band and until the function is reset.
Example:
The function is to monitor the outlet pressure from a CRE pump.
If the pressure is below 5 bar for more than 5 seconds, a warning
must be given. If the outlet pressure is above 7 bar for more than
8 seconds, reset the limit exceeded warning.

The advantages of enabling the "Low-flow stop function" are the
following:
• no unnecessary heating of the pumped liquid
• reduced wear of the shaft seals
• reduced noise from operation.
The disadvantages of enabling the "Low-flow stop function" may
be the following:
• The delivered pressure is not completely constant as it
fluctuates between the start and stop pressures.
• The frequent starts/stops of the pump may in some
applications cause acoustic noise.
The impact of the above disadvantages very much depends on
the setting selected for the stop function.
The "High-comfort mode" setting minimizes pressure fluctuations
and acoustic noise.
Select "Energy-optimal mode" if the main priority is to reduce the
energy consumption as much as possible.
Possible settings of the stop function:
• "Energy-optimal mode"
The pump automatically adjusts the parameters for the stop
function so that the energy consumption during the start-stop
operation period is minimized.
In this case, the stop function uses the factory-set values of
the minimum flow (Q
fig. 67.
) and other internal parameters. See
min1
• "High-comfort mode":
The pump automatically adjusts the parameters for the stop
function so that the disturbances during the start-stop
operation period are minimized.
In this case, the stop function uses the factory-set values of
the minimum flow (Q

• "User-defined mode" ("Customised operating mode"):
The pump uses the parameters set for ∆H and minimum flow

"Low-flow detection"
Low flow can be detected in two ways:
1. A built-in low-flow detection function which is active if none of
the digital inputs are set for flow switch.
2. A flow switch connected to one of the digital inputs.
1. Low-flow detection function:
The pump checks the flow regularly by reducing the speed for
a short time. If there is no or only a small change in pressure,
this means that there is low flow. The speed is increased until
the stop pressure (actual setpoint + 0.5 x ΔH) is reached and
the pump stops. When the pressure has fallen to the start
pressure (actual setpoint - 0.5 x ΔH), the pump restarts.
– If the flow is higher than the set minimum flow, the pump
returns to continuous operation at constant pressure.
– If the flow is still lower than the set minimum flow (Q
min
), the
pump continues in start-stop operation until the flow is
higher than the set minimum flow (Q
higher than the set minimum flow rate (Q
). When the flow is
min
), the pump
min
returns to continuous operation.
2. Flow switch:
When the digital input is activated for more than 5 seconds
because there is low flow, the speed is increased until the
stop pressure (actual setpoint + 0.5 x ΔH) is reached, and the
pump stops. When the pressure has fallen to start pressure,
the pump restarts. If there is still no flow, the pump quickly
reaches the stop pressure and stops. If there is flow, the pump
continues operating according to the setpoint.
Operating conditions for the low-flow stop function
You can only use the stop function if the system incorporates a
pressure sensor, a non-return valve and a diaphragm tank.
Always install the non-return valve before the
pressure sensor. See figs 68 and 69.
"Set minimum flow"
Set the minimum flow (Q
) in this display. This setting
min
determines at which flow rate the system is to change from
continuous operation at constant pressure to start-stop operation.
The setting range is 5 to 30 % of rated flow.
Factory setting
See section 10. Technical data.
"Diaphragm tank volume"
The stop function requires a diaphragm tank of a certain minimum
size. Set the size of the installed tank in this display.
In order to reduce the number of start-stops per hour or to reduce
the ∆H, install a larger tank.
Install the tank immediately after the pump. The precharge
pressure must be 0.7 x actual setpoint.

This function is typically used in pressure-boosting applications
and ensures a smooth startup of systems with for instance empty
pipes.
Startup takes place in two phases. See fig. 70.
1. Filling phase.
The pipes are slowly filled with water. When the pressure
sensor of the system detects that the pipes have been filled,
phase two begins.
2. Pressure build-up phase.
The system pressure is increased until the setpoint is
reached. The pressure build-up takes place over a pressure
build-up time. If the setpoint is not reached within a given
time, a warning or an alarm can be given, and the pumps can
be stopped at the same time.

• deceleration time, 0.1 to 300 seconds.
The times apply to the acceleration from 0 rpm to maximum
(fixed) speed and the deceleration from maximum (fixed) speed
to 0 rpm, respectively.
At short deceleration times, the deceleration of the pump may
depend on load and inertia as there is no possibility of actively
braking the pump.
If the power supply is switched off, the deceleration of the pump
only depends on load and inertia.

additional redundancy in the multipump system.
The multipump functions are described in the following sections.
7.44.1 "Alternating operation"
Alternating operation functions as a duty/standby operating mode
and is possible with two pumps of same size and type connected
in parallel. The main purpose of the function is to ensure an even
amount of running hours and to ensure that the standby pump
starts if the duty pump stops due to an alarm.
Each pump requires a non-return valve in series with the pump.
You can choose between two alternating operation modes:
• "Alternating operation, time"
Change from one pump to the other is based on time.
• "Alternating operation, energy"
Change from one pump to the other is based on energy
consumption.
If the duty pump fails, the other pump starts.
7.44.2 "Backup operation"
Backup operation is possible with two pumps of same size and
type connected in parallel. Each pump requires a non-return
valve in series with the pump.
One pump is operating continuously. The backup pump is
operated for a short time each day to prevent seizing up. If the
duty pump stops due to a fault, the backup pump starts.

10. Technical data
10.1 Operating conditions
10.1.1 Maximum number of starts and stops
The number of starts and stops via the power supply must not
exceed four times per hour.
When switched on via the power supply, the pump starts after
approximately 5 seconds.
If a higher number of starts and stops is desired, use the input for
external start-stop when starting and stopping the pump.
When started via an external on/off switch, the pump starts
immediately.
10.1.2 Ambient temperature
Ambient temperature during storage and transportation
Minimum: -22 °F (-30 °C)
Maximum: 140 °F (60 °C).
Ambient temperature during operation
Minimum: -4 °F (-20 °C)
Maximum: 122 °F (50 °C).
The motor can operate with the rated power output (P2) at 122 °F
(50 °C), but continuous operation at higher temperatures reduces
the expected product life. If the motor is to operate at ambient
temperatures between 122 °F (50 °C) and 140 °F (60 °C), select
an oversized motor. Contact Grundfos for further information.
10.1.3 Installation altitude
If the motor is installed above 6560 ft (2000 m), it
does not comply with SELV/PELV classification.
Installation altitude is the height above sea level of the installation
site.
Motors installed up to 3280 ft (1000 meters) above sea level can
be loaded 100 %.
• Motors installed more than 3280 ft (1000 meters) above sea
level must not be fully loaded due to the low density and
consequent low cooling effect of the air. See fig. 72.
10.1.4 Humidity
Maximum humidity: 95 %.
If the humidity is constantly high and above 85 %, open the drain
holes in the drive-end flange. See section Fig. 2 Examples of
covers (not supplied by Grundfos).
10.1.5 Motor cooling
To ensure cooling of motor and electronics, observe the following:
• Position the motor in such a way that adequate cooling is
ensured. See section 4.1.5 Ensuring motor cooling.
• The temperature of the cooling air must not exceed 122 °F (50
°C).
Keep cooling fins and fan blades clean.
