IMPORTANT: READ THIS FIRST

DO NOT EXPOSE THE F29 Mk2 TO VIBRATION. INSTALL ONLY IN

PIPEWORK THAT DOES NOT VIBRATE. Vibration will damage the

electronics within the F29 and will void your product warranty.

This F29 programmable fl ow switch has been fully tested and calibrated. It
is set to operate in a basic way with most of its special functions and
features switched off. On start up the F29 will run the pump using its start
up timer for up to 5 seconds. If it fi nds fl ow in the fi rst 5 seconds it will
continue to run the pump. If fl ow is lost, the pump will continue to run for 5
seconds held on by the F29’s built in run-on timer. If fl ow fails to return, the
pump will be shut down after the run-on period. Pressing and releasing the
(R) reset button on the F29 or resetting the power will repeat this basic
process.

THE BUTTONS

The F29 is controlled and confi gured using 4 onboard buttons.

(R) Reset button. Stops the pump and restarts the F29 when released.
(˄) Up arrow button. For increasing program settings.
(˅) Down arrow button. For decreasing program settings.
(P) Programming button. For stepping through the menu and entering

settings into memory.

THE LIGHTS

The F29 includes 4 multicolour lights to indicate activity.

Flow:

This light is GREEN when the F29 detects fl ow and RED when no

fl ow is detected.

Pump: This light is

GREEN when a pump is running and RED when the

pump is stopped.

Timer: This light may be

GREEN or RED when a timer or special function

is running.

Remote: This light is

BLUE when remote input No. 1 is closed and off

when the remote is open. The light is

RED when remote input No. 2 is

closed and off when the remote is open. This light is

PURPLE when both

remote inputs 1 & 2 are closed.

LCD SCREEN BACKLIGHT

The LCD backlight can be turned on or off.
To turn the light off press and hold down the (˅) button. Press and release
the (R) button. Release the (˅) button. Repeat to turn the light on. The
light remembers the state it was last left in, if power is turned off. The light
can be left permanently on or off as required.

TEMPERATURE

The F29 monitors its internal temperature when running. Pressing the (˅)
button while the fl ow switch is powered up displays the current internal
temperature of the F29.

PRESS (and release) THE (P) BUTTON

When the F29 is powered up, pressing the (P) button, holding it down
for 1 second and releasing it takes you to the top of the menu. Pressing
and releasing the (P) button loads whatever the screen is displaying into
the F29’s memory. The memory is non-volatile and settings are retained
when power is off. You can exit the menu at any time by pressing and
releasing the (R) button. Any settings you have made up to that point will
be retained. There is no need to step all the way through the menu when
making a change to a setting.

INSTALLING THE F29

1) Do not install the F29 in an exposed outdoor location. The F29 is
weatherproof, however, to ensure a long reliable life we recommend
it be protected from direct exposure to the sun and rain. A skull cap
is provided with the F29 and we recommend it be used to protect the
F29 when direct observation of the LCD screen is not required.

2 ) Do not expose the F29-S to freezing. If the F29 is to be used in
areas where freezing conditions will be encountered, use the stainless
steel F29-SS and always lag the pipework for several metres either
side of the fl ow switch to prevent the adjacent pipework from freezing.

3) Do not use the standard thermoplastic F29-S fl ow switch in hot
water applications. The standard F29-S is not designed to be used in
water hotter than 60ºC. The stainless steel model can be used in
water up to 90ºC.

4

4) Do not expose the thermoplastic F29-S to static or dynamic
pressures greater than 18 Bars, 261 psi. Do not expose the stainless
steel F29-SS to static or dynamic pressures greater than 200 Bars,
2900 psi.

5) Do not install the F29 in a section of pipe that is subject to vibration.
Vibration will cause premature failure of the electronic components
within the F29.

LOCATION

Where possible install the F29 in a location that is sheltered from direct
exposure to the weather. The F29 is weatherproof and is supplied with a
protective cover. However, to ensure a long reliable life we recommend it
be protected from direct exposure to the sun and rain. Intense sun light will
eventually cause discolouration and degradation of the fl ow switch’s
housing. It is therefore advisable to protect the F29 from the weather if
possible.

5

The F29 should be installed in a straight section of pipe preferably with 5
diameters of straight pipe either side of the paddle. The F29 can be
installed in a suitable pipe socket, tapping saddle or pipe tee.

The F29 can be installed in either the suction or discharge pipework of the
pump. It is more common to install it in the discharge pipe, either before or
after the system’s air cell. If the system includes an air cell a decision must
be made as to which side of the air cell to locate the fl ow switch. The way
the overall system functions will depend on this decision.

BEFORE THE AIR CELL

If the F29 is installed before the air cell, it will only start the pump on
pressure drop via an external pressure switch since the initial draw off will
be supplied from the air cell and will not push the paddle of the F29 into its
on position. The only change in state the fl ow switch will see will be the

6

Controller

Discharge

Controller installed before the air cell

closing of the external pressure switch’s contacts on a falling pressure.
Choose this arrangement if you want to keep pump starts to a minimum
and you are prepared to accept the delay in starting associated with the
slow pressure fall from the air cell.

AFTER THE AIR CELL

If you install the F29 in the pipework after the air cell the fl ow switch will
start the pump each time fl ow from the air cell pushes its paddle forward or
each time pressure falls to whatever pressure you have set the external
pressure switch to start at. Choose this arrangement if you want the system
to deliver a steady pressure and to start each time fl ow is sensed.

7

INSTALLATION

The F29 is supplied as two separate assemblies, the paddle assembly
and the electrical housing. The paddle assembly should be installed in the
pipework fi rst.

TRIMMING THE PADDLE

The paddle of the F29 can be cut down to suit the specifi c pipe size and
intended application. Cut the paddle using a hacksaw or tin snips so it
clears the sides of the pipe socket and protrudes approximately half to
two thirds of the way across the pipe when the controller is screwed into
the pipework. If a low fl ow rate is expected through the system the paddle
should be cut longer, perhaps until it only clears the bottom of the pipe by 3
to 5mm. If you are unsure as to what length the paddle should be, a paddle
trimming calculator is available at: -

http://www.kelco.com.au/paddle-trimming-calculator-2

If you know what the expected fl ow rate is the calculator allows you to
enter your pipe diameter and paddle dimensions. It will then determine if
the selected paddle dimensions are adequate for the application. Spare
paddles to suit the F29 Mk2 are available from Kelco or from your distributor.

9

FITTING THE PADDLE ASSEMBLY

To fi t the paddle assembly into the pipework, apply Tefl on tape or thread
sealing compound to the thread and use a suitable spanner and the
spanner fl ats provided on the paddle assembly (directly above the process
connection thread). Under no circumstances should the electrical housing
be twisted or used to screw the paddle assembly into the pipework or to
align the F29 with the axis of the pipework. To do so will irreparably damage
the F29 and void its warranty. When correctly installed there should be a
minimum 4mm gap between the top of the pipe socket and the top of the
thread on the F29. The F29 can be installed in either vertical or horizontal
pipe. The F29 has a 1” BSP or NPT process connection. A matching
female threaded socket, pipe saddle or pipe tee must be provided to fi t the
F29 into the pipework.

ATTACHING THE ELECTRICAL HOUSING

There is a fl at keying face on the cylindrical body of the paddle assembly
that keys the electrical housing onto the paddle assembly and aligns it
correctly. It is critical that the keying fl at is on the downstream side and at
90 degrees to the axis of the pipework (see sketch). To secure the electrical
housing onto the paddle assembly an Allen head cap screw is supplied.
The cap screw should be screwed fully through the hole provided on the
underside of the electrical housing and should be securely tightened using
a 3mm A/F Allen key (supplied).

DETACHING THE ELECTRICAL HOUSING

To allow easy access to the fl ow switch’s paddle, the electrical housing of
the F29 can be detached from the paddle assembly. Removing the
electrical housing allows access to the paddle without the need to disconnect
the electrical connections to the F29. To remove the electrical assembly,
switch off the system’s power and undo and completely remove the locking
screw (see diagram). Once the locking screw is removed, lift the electrical
housing straight off (do not twist it when doing this). Once the electrical
housing has been removed, the paddle assembly can be unscrewed from
the pipework using the spanner fl ats on the body of the assembly. Simply
reverse this procedure to refi t the electrical housing to the F29.

SENSITIVITY ADJUSTMENT

Under the end of the electrical housing on the F29 is a red hexagonal dust
cap. If you remove this dust cap you gain access to an adjustment screw

10

that allows the paddle preload to be reduced. As supplied the sensitivity
adjustment screw is wound fully in. In this position the paddle is at its least
sensitive. In this position it takes a substantial force from the moving water
to move the paddle. If you take a straight bladed screwdriver and wind the
sensitivity adjustment screw anti-clockwise (outward) the force against the
paddle that resists fl ow will be reduced.

The paddle will become increasingly more sensitive and will respond to
progressively lower fl ows the further out you wind the adjusting screw. The
total adjustment range is 10 turns of the screw. If you wind the adjustment
screw out beyond 10 turns there will not be enough residual force to return
the paddle to the off position when fl ow stops.
The range of sensitivity adjustment will also be affected by the orientation
of the F29. In horizontal pipework with the F29 mounted vertically the
useable range of adjustment is approximately 8 turns. In vertical pipe with
fl ow upwards, the full 10 turn range can be utilised.

ELECTRICAL INSTALLATION

INTRODUCTION

When used with its HD terminal link in place, the F29 can directly control
single-phase pump motors to 2.4kW via its relay 1. No interposing contactor
is required for such applications. The F29 can also be used to control 3
phase pump motors of any size via an appropriate interposing contactor.

WARNING

All electrical work associated with the F29 must be
carried out by qualifi ed electrical personnel and all
electrical work must conform to AS/NZ standards and to
local wiring rules.

11

WARNING: The contactor control circuit must never exceed 240VAC.

Never series connect the F29 relay contacts and contactor coil directly
across 2 phases.

The F29 requires a stable 220V to 240V AC supply when operated from
the mains. It can also be operated from an 18 to 24V AC or DC supply by
utilising the low voltage active terminal FELV and neutral terminal N (see
the included wiring diagrams). When operated from a low voltage DC
supply the terminals FELV and neutral N are not polarity sensitive. Pay
attention to cable sizes and ensure cables are adequate for the specifi c
pump motor load. This is particularly important where long cable runs
are to be used in the installation. If the voltage drop associated with the
starting of the pump motor is excessive the F29 may repeatedly reset and
not operate properly.

THE HD (Heavy Duty) TERMINAL

The F29 contains a solid-state switch (HD Heavy Duty drive) that can be
used to protect the contacts of Relay 1 by eliminating the destructive arcing
caused by the starting and stopping of pump motors. The solid-state switch
is accessible from the HD terminal on the terminal block. We recommend
the HD drive be used whenever the controller is used to directly control
a single-phase pump motor. The HD drive should not be used when the
F29 is connected to a contactor, external timer, low wattage relay or to
any other external device where voltage free contacts are required. It is
strictly intended for the direct control of highly inductive AC motor loads.
The HD terminal and the controller’s built in relays must never be directly
connected to a DC motor under any circumstances.

When the HD terminal is linked to the normally open terminal of Relay
1, the HD drive in effect parallels a 42 Amp solid state switch across the
relay’s normally open contacts. This increases the momentary current
carrying capacity of the relay’s contacts to well over 60 Amps. The solid­state HD drive is only activated for a brief period when the pump starts and
stops. It effectively handles the high inrush current associated with the
pump starting, and it provides a current path for the destructive back EMF
associated with the pump motor stopping.

12

To use the HD drive, place a heavy link wire between the HD terminal
and the Normally Open terminal of Relay 1.

BROWNOUT OR BLACKOUT

If a blackout or brownout occurs the F29 will not retain any memory of
where in its run or stop cycle it may have been, it will simply shut down the
pump. When power resumes, the F29 will reboot, restart the pump and run
any timer settings from the beginning. A manual reboot can be done at any
time by pressing and releasing the F29’s reset button.

CABLES

The F29 has 3 X M20 cable glands. As supplied, the cable glands are
blanked off with rubber plugs. To use the glands fi rst remove one of the
rubber plugs and assemble the (supplied) cable gland bush and backing
washer into the cable port. The cable glands can accept cable from 7 to
9mm diameter. See sketch for assembling the cable gland components.

The F29 is supplied with a set of steel crimp rings. The crimp rings are to
provide strain relief for the controller’s cables. To use the crimps, place
one on the cable approximately 3 to 4mm below the end of the cables outer
sheathing. Crimp the two ears of the ring fl at using bull nosed pliers. Pull
the cable back through the cable gland until the crimp ring’s ears are fully
located into the slots in the cable gland housing. Always leave unused
cable glands sealed off using the (supplied) rubber plugs.

The HD terminal must be left unused or only ever linked to Relay 1
Normally Open. It must never be used for any other purpose and it
must never be connected to any external device. Under no circumstances
connect the HD terminal to the terminals of Relay 2. The HD terminal
must be regarded as live at all times and at full mains potential.

ELECTRICAL LIMITS

POWERING THE F29

The power required to drive the F29 depends on the nature of the supply,
AC or DC and on temperature. The table below gives the maximum power
required from various supplies at 25C. As temperature increases, the
power required will reduce. For example, at 30C the power requirement
will be approximately 3% less than the values given in the table. The
measurements expressed in the table represent the maximum required
power with both relays 1 and 2 closed and the LCD backlight and all

indicator lights on.

RELAYS

The F29 houses 2 relays. Relay 1 has S.P.D.T contacts. Relay 2 has
S.P.S.T normally open contacts. Relay 1 is normally regarded

as the

pump control relay and relay 2 is normally regarded as the alarm relay.

With the HD terminal linked to the NO terminal of Relay 1, the F29
can directly control a single phase motor up to 2.4kW via its NO
contacts. Without the HD terminal link in place, relays 1 & 2 are
limited to directly controlling a motor to 0.75kW. Both relays can

control motors of any required size via interposing contactors.

IMPORTANT: When directly controlling a pump motor through relay 1,

always link the HD terminal to relay 1 Normally Open terminal and make
sure the maximum switched motor current never exceeds 10 Amps. On a
pump motor P1 must not exceed 2.4kW.

15

REMOTE INPUT

WARNING: The low voltage source available at the FELV terminal is

non-isolated and must be regarded as operating at full mains potential
whenever the F29 is powered from the mains. FELV means Functional
Extra Low Voltage and refers to a non-isolated extra low voltage
source.

An external switch with voltage free contacts such as a pressure switch,
tank level switch or a set of external relay contacts can be used to control
the F29. The supply to the external switch must be taken from the FELV
terminal of the F29 when the controller is powered from the mains or from
a 24V source. The F29 must always be powered from the same source
as the supply to external switch. The supply to the remote switch on the
F29-12 (low voltage DC model) must be taken from the supply positive
terminal. In all cases the external switch return wire must be connected
to the Remote input (R) terminal on the F29. The supply to the external
switch will range from 12 to 24 VDC or from 20V to 35V AC depending on
the supply voltage.

WARNING: Never connect an external power source of any kind to

the F29’s remote input terminal.

The remote switch can be installed some distance from the F29. The
maximum distance is limited by cable resistance and capacitance. The
total cable resistance must not exceed 5K Ohms with the remote switch
closed. The total capacitance of the cable must not exceed 25nF with the
remote switch open. Wires to the remote switch should be run separately
from power carrying cables. Do not run the remote switch wires in a conduit
that also contains power cables. Capacitive coupling between the adjacent
cables may cause false triggering of the F29’s remote input. For cable
runs longer than 150 metres we suggest using 2 separate wires to reduce
capacitive coupling between the adjacent wires. When set up this way
cable resistance becomes the limiting factor for distance. The table below
sets out the resistance of typical copper wire of various diameters.

Note that the cable resistance refers to the total resistance out to the
remote switch and back, as measured at the controller across the 2 remote
connection wires with the external remote switch closed.

16

EXAMPLE

A water tank is located 2000 metres from the F29. Two separate wires each

0.2mm^2 are run to the remote tank (total wire length is 4000 metres). The
resistance as measured across the 2 wires back at the F29 (with the tank
level switch closed) is 382 Ohms. This is well under the 5,000 Ohm limit.
The remote input to the F29 will operate properly provided the wires are
separated by suffi cient distance that the capacitance between them is less
than 25nF. Capacitance should be measured between the wires when the
remote switch is open and it must be less than 25nF.

THE 12VDC F29 FLOW SWITCH

A low voltage DC version of the F29 Mk2 is available for battery operation
and for use in solar pumping systems. Functionally the 12V DC model is the
same as the mains voltage model except for the terminal block markings.
On the 12VDC model the active and neutral terminals are replaced by a
positive + and a negative – terminal. Supply voltage across the positive
and negative terminals must never exceed 24VDC or the fl ow switch will be
damaged. The supply terminals are reverse polarity protected, however,
the fl ow switch will simply not operate unless the supply polarity is correct.

If a remote switch is connected to the 12V DC F29 the supply to the remote
switch must be taken from the positive terminal on the F29. The remote
switch and its connecting circuit will then operate at 12VDC.

PROGRAMMING THE F29 Mk2

For a description of the functions of the buttons and lights
please read pages 2 and 3 of this manual before proceeding.

RESTORING FACTORY DEFAULTS (Purging the Settings)

Provided the F29 is unlocked, you can restore it to its default factory
settings by pressing and holding down the (P) button and pressing and
then releasing the (R) button. Once the (R) button has been released,
release the (P) button. The screen then displays

SETTINGS CLEARED

PRESS P

Doing this removes any settings you may have entered and

restores the F29 to its original default state.

LOCKING & UNLOCKING THE F29

The F29 is supplied by the factory in an unlocked state and can be
programmed using its buttons. To prevent unauthorised personnel from
altering its settings, the programming button (P) can be locked.

LOCKING THE F29

To activate the lock, press and hold down the (˄) and (˅) buttons and then

press and release the

(R) button. Continue to hold the (˄) and (˅) buttons

down until the screen displays LOCK. (takes about 2 seconds) release
the (˄) and (˅) buttons. The F29 is now locked. When locked, pressing
the

(P) button will not allow access to the F29’s menu, instead a message

PROGRAM LOCKED PRESS RESET is displayed on the screen.

UNLOCKING THE F29

To unlock the F29 repeat the above procedure, press and hold down the

(˄) and (˅) buttons and then press and release the (R) button. Continue

to hold the

(˄) and (˅) buttons down until the screen displays UNLOCKED.

(takes about 2 seconds) release the (˄) and (˅) buttons.

23

GETTING STARTED

1) Use the least number of functions possible. Do not program in functions

you do not specifi cally require, as to do so will make the system’s operation
unnecessarily complicated and may introduce unpredictable interactions
between the various functions.

2) When changing major settings always start by purging the previous
settings to restore factory defaults before proceeding (see page 3). This
ensues no confl icts occur between previously set functions and new
functions.

With the F29 powered up, Press the (P) button. Hold it down for 1
second and then release it.

Kelco www.kelco.com.au

This is the fi rst screen in the menu.

Press and release (P) again.

F29 Mk2 Controller Version 000000 The version number must match

the number on the cover of this book.

Press and release (P) again.

USE REMOTE INPUT

If a remote input switch is connected to the F29 select yes to this question
by pressing the

(˄) button. Press the (P) button to lock your choice into
memory and to move to the next screen. You are then presented with a
choice of 3 ways the remote input can be confi gured. Press the (˄) or (˅)
buttons to move from one option to the next.

USE REMOTE FOR START & STOP

Select this option if you are using a 2 position high / low tank level switch to
control the F29. The F29 will be on when the remote switch is closed and
off when the remote switch is open.

USE REMOTE FOR START ONLY

Select this option if you are using a momentary contact switch or relay
to trigger the F29 and cause it to start. The remote switch can open its
contacts once the F29 has started or they can remain closed.

USE REMOTE FOR SYSTEM RESETTING

This selection replicates the function of the (R) button. Momentary

24

closing of the remote contacts causes the F29 to reboot.

USE ALARM RELAY

The F29 houses 2 output relays. Relay 1 is normally used to control a
pump. Relay 2 is normally used as an alarm relay. Selecting yes to this
question allows you to confi gure the alarm relay to close its contacts under
various conditions. If you want to use the alarm relay press (˅) and then
press (P). Use the (˄) or (˅) buttons to move from one option to the next.

CLOSED IF ANY FAULT DEVELOPS

Closed only on a genuine fault,
open at all other times.

CLOSED ONLY IF FLOW STOPS Closed when the F29 detects no fl ow,

open at all other times.

CLOSED WHENEVER PUMP IS OFF Closed when the pump is stopped,

open when the pump is running.

CLOSED WHENEVER PUMP IS ON Closed when the pump is running,

open when the pump is stopped.

CLOSED DURING PRE-START DELAY Only closed while the pre-start

delay timer is running.

CLOSED ON FAULTS NOT IN CYC RUN Closed on all faults except those

detected during cyclic running.

CLOSED ON FLOW OPENS ON NO FLOW The relay contacts mimic the

action of a simple on/off fl ow switch.

START ADDITIONAL EQUIPMENT This option works in conjunction with

the pre-start delay timer to allow control of staged equipment. Consider an
F29 powered by battery with a generator set connected to the alarm relays
contacts and the output of the generator connected to a pump via the F29’s
pump control relay (Relay 1). The generator will start if the reset button (R)
on the F29 is pressed. The generator will then run for whatever time is set
on the pre-start delay timer, after which the pump will start. The contacts
of the alarm relay remain closed holding the generator set on while ever
the pump runs. If fl ow stops the pump will shut down. The alarm relay will
then open its contacts and shut the generator set down.

START-UP TIMER

On power-up the start-up timer ignores the F29 paddle and allows the
pump to start despite an initial lack of fl ow. The start-up timer is factory
set to 5 seconds. This can be adjusted using the

(˄) or (˅) buttons to any

required value between 0 and 900 seconds. The time chosen must be

suffi cient for fl ow to actuate the F29 paddle before the timer times out.
The start-up timer is self-terminating and ceases its run as soon as fl ow is
detected. If the start-up timer times out without detecting fl ow, the pump
will instantly shut down.

RUN-ON TIMER

If fl ow is lost during normal operation, the F29 uses its run-on timer to keep
the pump running. The run-on timer is factory set to 5 seconds.

This can

be adjusted using the

(˄) or (˅) buttons to any required value between 0
and 900 seconds. If the run-on timer is running it means no fl ow is being
detected and the pump is possibly running dry. It is therefore important to
keep the run-on period to a minimum. The run-on timer is self-terminating
and ceases its run as soon as fl ow is detected. If the run-on timer times
out without detecting fl ow, the pump will instantly shut down.

ADVANCED CONTROL OFF

The F29 includes a set of advanced functions that extend the capability of
the fl ow switch well beyond basic loss of fl ow protection. The advanced
functions are directly accessible by moving beyond the more basic start-up
and run-on timers previously described. To access the advanced functions
press (˄) followed by (P).

If you do not require advanced functions press (P). You are then
presented with a screen asking you to accept the current settings
and exit the menu and run the pump.

PRE-START DELAY TIMER

The pre-start delay timer delays the starting of the pump each time the F29
is powered up. The range of adjustment is 0 to 64,800 seconds (zero to 18
hours) in 1 second increments. As soon as the set time has elapsed the
pump will start and run normally. The pre-start timer can be used to allow
peripheral equipment time to boot up or to run prior to running the pump.

It can also be used to sequence or stage the starting of multiple pumps
in sequential or cascaded transfer pumping systems. Starting pumps
sequentially rather than all at once in such systems greatly reduces the
current draw on the power supply and ensures each pump spins up to full
speed before the following pump starts.

26

To use the pre-start delay timer, press

(˄) followed by (P). Use the (˄) or

(˅) button to enter a suitable delay period. The display increments up in 60

second steps and down in 1 second steps. Press (P) to lock your selection
in and move to the next screen.

BATCH CONTROLLER

The F29 can be set to run a pump for a set time, called a batch. The batch
run time can be from 1 minute to 99 hours 59 minutes in increments of 1
minute. To use batch control press

(˄) followed by (P).

SINGLE BATCH

Press (P) to select this option or press the (˅) button to move to the next

option.

REPEAT BATCH

Means batch runs that repeat with an automatic delay between each batch.
Selecting repeat batch enables delayed restarting, a function that follows
batch control in the menu. If the batch run is interrupted by loss of fl ow it
can be set to restart at the beginning of its run after a delay period that is
set in the delayed restart function. If you select single batch from the
menu, delayed restarting does not appear in the menu as an option.
The running of the batch can be initiated by powering up the F29 or by
pressing the (R) button. The batch run can also be initiated by the closing
of the contacts of a remote switch connected to the F29’s remote input. To
use the batch controller in this way, fi rst set the remote input to on and to
start only. Each time the remote switch closes its contacts a batch run will
be initiated. If the remote switch contacts remain closed the F29 simply
runs for the set period and then shuts down. To initiate another run the
remote switch contacts must fi rst open and then re-close. If fl ow is lost
during a batch run the F29 will shut down the pump. If fl ow subsequently
resumes the batch controller will re-initiate its run from the beginning. It will
not resume running from the point in its previous run that it shut down at.
This function can be used in tank fi lling applications to send a set volume
of water to a tank but to terminate the batch run when the tank fi lls.

DELAYED RESTARTING

If you set this option to on, each time the pump stops the F29 will prevent
the pump from restarting for the set period. The delay can be set from zero

27

to 99 hours 59 minutes in increments of 1 minute. Its uses include preventing
rapid cycling if the system’s air cell becomes water logged or if a fault
develops in a system’s external pressure switch. As an example of its use,
consider a pressure system fi lling a remote tank. If the tank has a fl oat
valve that shuts when the tank is full, then the system will pressurise and
shut down each time the tank fi lls and the valve closes. If the fl oat valve
leaks or the level drops and the valve opens the system will depressurise
and the pump would ordinarily start. Delayed restart will prevent the pump
from restarting for a set time.

AUTOSTART AFTER DELAY

If you choose yes to this question the F29 will automatically start the pump
at the end of the delay period. If you choose no, the fl ow switch will only
start the pump after the delay if an external switch connected to the F29’s
remote input closes its contacts. In the example outlined above, consider
a tank that has intermittent or irregular draw off. You may choose to set the
delayed restart to perhaps 12 hours. At the end of the 12 hour period the
pump will automatically start and if the tank level is low, the pump will run
continuously until the tank fi lls and the fl oat valve in the tank closes. If,
however, there has been no draw-off from the tank during the 12 hour
period, the automatic restart at the end of the delay will start the pump and
run it for whatever period you have set on the start timer. The F29 will
sense no fl ow because the fl oat valve will still be closed. The F29 will then
shut down the pump and again wait for 12 hours before again attempting
to start the pump. Using this technique prevents the pump from hunting on
and off when the tank is full because of slight leakage from the fl oat valve
or pipework. It allows you to set the pump to only operate after a chosen
delay, and if there has been no usage of water, to test the system for
demand by momentarily starting, and only run the pump if there is a genuine
call for water.

CYCLIC RUNNING

The F29 can be programmed to run and stop a pump for set periods of
time. Both the running and stopping times can be set to any value you
choose from 1 minute to 99 hours 59 minutes in increments of 1 minute.
The cyclic running option is highly fl exible. The run and stop timers are
totally independent of each other. If a set running and stopping time are
programmed in, the fl ow switch will run the pump for whatever time it is

28

set to and then stop for the time set on its stop timer. If a run time is set to
some value and the stop time is left set at zero, the fl ow switch will behave
as a one-shot batch controller. On pressing the reset button or switching
the pump on, the pump will run for the set period and then shut down. It will
not then restart until you again press the reset button or reset the power
to the unit. In cyclic running the fl ow switch monitors the elapsed time and
displays the remaining time on its LCD screen in hours and minutes.

Cyclic running allows low yield bores to be pumped to their maximum
capacity. A bore pump running under cyclic control can be set to pump the
bore down to a low level, stop and wait for the standing water level to
recover and then repeat the process endlessly. For transfer pumping
applications, cyclic running can be used to automatically top up remote
tanks without the need for fl oat valves or level control at the tank. It can
also be used for one-shot tank fi lling. Press the reset button and pump a
set number of hours of water to a tank, and then stop until the reset is again
pressed.

AUTO RESTART

If the F29 is used in conjunction with an external pressure switch that is
connected to its remote input it will be able to detect if the pump has run
dry as a combination of no fl ow and low or no line pressure. If the pump
does run dry the auto restart function can be set to automatically restart the
pump after a settable time.

Note that the auto restart function only
appears in the F29’s menu if you have fi rst selected to use the remote
input and have selected “start only” from its options.

If auto restart is chosen, the F29’s menu presents you with a choice, single
restart or repeated restarts. Single restart will attempt to restart the pump
after a set time and if the attempt fails the F29 then shuts down the pump
and goes into permanent alarm mode. If it fi nds fl ow when it restarts it
resumes normal operation. If you choose repeated restart from the menu
the F29 will repeat the shut down and wait sequence and it will not go into
permanent alarm mode. Once you choose repeated restart or single restart
the screens that follow ask you to enter a waiting period in hours and
minutes. The range of adjustment is 1 minute to 99 hours 59 minutes in
one minute increments. If the pump runs dry the F29 will shut it down and
wait for the period you have set before attempting to restart. The ability to

29

restart the pump automatically if it runs dry can be a very useful function.
Consider a submersible pump installed in a low yield bore. The bore can
be pumped until dry and the F29 can be set to shut down the pump as soon
as loss of fl ow is detected and then wait until the standing water level in the
bore recovers before attempting to restart and again pump the bore down.

ANTI-CYCLING

Electric motors are often limited in the number of times they can be safely
started in any one hour. This is particularly important in the operation of
submersible bore pumps. When a motor starts there is an initial inrush of
current that produces heat in the coils and iron rotor of the motor. If the
frequency of starts is excessive the accumulation of heat within the motor
can cause severe damage and eventual failure of the motor. Submersible
bore pump motors are particularly prone to damage from excessive cycling
(starting and stopping).

MAXIMUM STARTS PER HOUR

The anti-cycling option built into the F29 allows the user to set the maximum
number of times the pump can be safely started in any one hour period.
If you select yes to this option the screen that follows will ask you to enter
the maximum number of times the pump can be started in any one hour.
The number of starts can be set from 1 start per hour to 1800 starts per
hour. Please contact your pump supplier to obtain the correct fi gure for
your specifi c pump. In operation, the anti-cycling system monitors both
time and the number of starts and compares the two. If the starts per hour
rate is exceeded for a settable number of consecutive times in any one
hour period the pump will be automatically shut down and the controller
will display a message indicating the starts per hour rate was exceeded.

NUMBER OF STARTS IN SEQUENCE

After setting the required number of starts per hour and pressing (P) you
are asked how many starts in a row you are prepared to accept. The
default setting is 5 starts. This can be adjusted between 2 and 50 starts.
Assuming you accept the default of 5 sequential starts then as a simple
example of the way the anti-cycling system works, if starts per hour rate is
set to 360 (one start every 10 seconds maximum) and the pump started
4 times in a row at less than 10 seconds between each start and then
did not start again for 12 seconds the anti-cycling shutdown will not be

30

invoked. If, however, the pump was to start 5 times in a row with less than
10 seconds between the starts the anti-cycling system would be invoked
and the pump will shut down. In a conventional pressure system, the anti­cycling function can be used to protect the pump from damage in the event
of the system’s air cell losing its air charge. If air is lost from a system’s air
cell due to a ruptured diaphragm or leaking air valve, the pump will hunt
on and off rapidly. Such rapid cycling will cause the pump to overheat
very quickly. Anti-cycling can also be used in conjunction with burst pipe
detection. Burst pipe detection is an effective guard against a burst pipe.
Anti-cycling is effective at detecting a split pipe that causes a pump to cycle
on and off.

BURST PIPE DETECTOR

Note: The burst pipe detector requires an external pressure switch
connected to the F29’s remote input to detect loss of pressure. It is
commonly used in pressure systems to detect excessive run time
due to a burst pipe.

If a pressure system bursts its discharge pipe the pressure will fall and
the pump will start when the external pressure switch closes. The pump
will then run continuously until the water source is depleted. The burst
pipe detector is a timer that times out for a settable period each time
the pump runs. The timer resets each time the pump stops. The timer
can be set from zero to 99 hours 59 minutes in steps of 1 minute. In
a typical application, the burst pipe detector would be set to a time that
was marginally longer than the longest time the pump would ordinarily run.
Each time the pump switches on the burst pipe detector begins to count
down. In normal circumstances the pump will shut down in less than the
burst pipe detector’s set time. This resets the burst pipe detector’s timer
back to its original setting. If, however, the pump continues to run, due
perhaps to a burst pipe, it will eventually reach the set point. The pump will
then be instantly shut down preserving whatever source water remains,
or at least reducing the discharge fl ow by an amount equal to the pump’s
capacity. The F29 will then display “burst pipe detected” on its LCD screen.

LEAK DETECTOR

The leak detector only appears in the menu if you previously elected to
use the remote input and set it to start only. The leak detection system

31

will only operate in systems where the F29 is connected to an external
pressure switch as it relies on the opening and closing of the pressure
switch contacts to count pump starts.

To use the leak detector, open all valves feeding into the pipe system to be
tested. Close all valves at the far ends of the pipework so the pipe system
can be pressurised. Press the reset button on the F29, this will zero the
leak detector screen and run the pump until the system is fully pressurised.
Leave the system unattended for at least an hour. On returning to the
system, the F29’s LCD screen will be displaying the number of times the
pump started and the total run time in hours minutes and seconds since
the time the leak detector was zeroed. If the leak detector screen displays
no starts and no run time, then no leak has occurred from the system in
the interim period. If the screen displays a number of starts and a total run
time, a leak has occurred and the magnitude of the leak can be assessed
by considering the total run time displayed and the capacity of the specifi c
pump. The leak detector can be used in any pressurised pumping system
of any size.

ACCEPT SETTINGS

This is the end of the menu. Select yes to confi rm all your previous settings
or use the (˅) (˄) buttons to select no to return to the top of the menu. If
you accept yes and press (P) you are then asked to press the reset button
to start the pump. The F29 will start the pump and attempt to run the
system using the settings you have programmed in. If the settings you
have initially made prove unsatisfactory then simply pressing and holding
down the (P) button for about 1 second and then releasing it will shut the
pump down and take you to the top of the main menu where you can step
through the settings and make appropriate changes.

RUNNING TIME DISPLAY

The F29 keeps track of how long a pump under its control runs for. The
total for any given run is displayed on the LCD screen each time the pump
stops. This information is displayed along with any other relevant
information about the state of the pump or the reason for the shutdown by
alternating the information at 5 second intervals on the LCD screen while
the pump is off. The time display is in minutes and it accumulates while
ever the pump runs. The time resets to zero each time the pump starts or

32

the reset button is pressed or each time power is reset.

THE HOUR METER

The F29 includes an hour meter that keeps track of the total time a pump
runs for. The hour meter displays the total hours run for 2 seconds each
time the pump stops. It is viewable by watching the LCD screen carefully
during this 2 second period as the F29 shuts the pump down.

The hour meter can also be viewed and reset to zero from within the menu.
Press the (P) button to access the menu and press it again to display the
controller’s model number screen. With the display showing

F29

CONTROLLER

, press the (˄) button and the hour meter will display. The
time displayed on the hour meter represents the actual hours the pump
has run for in total. To reset the hour meter to zero, press the (˅) button. To
exit out of the hour meter screen press (P). The hour meter accumulates
running time and does not lose its memory of the total pumping hours even
if the power is switched off for extended periods. The meter can accumulate
up to 7.4 years of total running time before it automatically resets to zero.

MAINTENANCE

The F29 is a minimal maintenance device. If it is correctly installed in
a location that is out of direct exposure to the elements it should give a
long and reliable life and require no maintenance at all. Factors that may
reduce its life are lightning strikes or power surges, failure to fully tighten its
lid and cable glands, exposure to pressures or temperatures in excess of
its ratings and operation outside its electrical limitations in terms of supply
voltage and motor loads.

SPARE PARTS

Spare paddles are available for the F29 fl ow switch from your supplier.

If the F29 Programmable Flow Switch is used
in a manner not specifi ed by the manufacturer
the pump protection provided by the F29 may
be impaired or negated. In addition, all
warranties stated or implied may be rendered
invalid.
