2 GENERAL INSTALLATION
REQUIREMENTS
2.1 Receiving Pump
Inspect for shipping damage. If a shortage or damage
occurs, contact carrier immediately.
2.2 Location
Install vertically with motor up. Consult factory for horizontal mounting.
Pump should be accessible for inspection and repair
work, head room must be provided for the use of hoist or
tackle as necessary.
Lift pump by slinging through motor eye bolts and securing through pump adapter.
NOTE: In no case should any part of motor
be covered with insulation.
2.3 Foundation
The pump must always be supported.
Pumps with smaller motors may be suspended in the piping, provided the piping is supported adjacent to the
pump.
For pumps with larger motors, the pump should be
attached to a support utilizing the tapped hole or holes in
the bottom of the pump casing.
NOTE: Piping loads shall not be applied to
the pump.
Pump must be allowed to move with piping movement.
Expansion of piping must be taken into account
when piping and suitable devices should be employed.
NOTE: The pump should not be rigidly attached to the
mmmmbase/pad structure unless flexible couplings are used.
NOTE: Provide vibration isolation pads
under floor mounted supports. Do not support unit by the motor eye-bolts.
3 MAINTENANCE
3.1 Routine Inspections
Routine inspections should be made on a regular basis.
Inspections made while pump is running should reveal
potential failures.
• Inspect motor bearings for any sign of temperature
rise. Temperature should not exceed 160°F. Temperature rise may indicate the early stages of bearing
problems.
• Listen for any unusual noise:
1.Air trapped in pump.
2.Hydraulic noise.
3.Mechanical noise in motor and/or pump.
• Check suction gauge reading and confirm that it is
normal.
• Check discharge gauge reading and confirm that it is
normal. If gauge readings are abnormal find out why.
NOTE: Suction and discharge gauges
should read the same with pump stopped.
3.2 Close Coupled Pumps
The pump section is attached directly to the motor shaft
and does not contain bearings.
3.3 Close Coupled Motors
The motor must be lubricated in accordance with the
manufacturer’s recommendations. Do not over lubricate
the motor bearings as this could cause premature bearing failure.
3.4 Mechanical Seal
The mechanical seal is the “John Crane” Type 21 General Purpose Seal for the 175 psig pressure rating.
A “John Crane” Type 2 General Purpose Seal is used for
the 300 psig pressure rating.
4 DIS-ASSEMBLY AND REASSEMBLY
4.1 General
If the pump has been maintained and serviced properly,
breakdowns requiring pump disassembly should occur
only rarely.
• If a problem occurs, the cause should be determined,
if possible, before dis-assembling. (See “Problem
Analysis”)
• If the pump is being dis-assembled, all parts must be
carefully handled, avoid heavy blows and shocks.
• All parts must be carefully cleaned and inspected for
wear. Recondition or replace parts where necessary.
4.2 Dis-Assembly
Drain liquid from casing by removing drain plug.
CAUTION: Allow pump to cool and secure
suction and discharge valves before working
on pump!
Remove re-circulation line.
Remove bolts holding cover/adapter to casing, pry cover/
adapter and motor assembly from casing.
Remove impeller bolt in a counterclockwise direction.
Remove impeller and key.
In all cases of mechanical seal arrangement, after
removing the sleeve and its seal assembly, the seal rotating element may be drawn off the shaft sleeve.
NOTE: Apply silicone grease on the OD of
the sleeve in the area between the seal and
the end of the sleeve. This will help removal
of the old seal. The stationary element is to
be removed from the cover.
All parts must be cleaned and inspected for wear.
Replace parts where necessary.
4.3 Re-Assembly
Be certain that all parts to be replaced are free from
burrs, with screw threads and connecting faces clear and
free from damage.
Insert stationary element of seal into cover adapter, slip
cover-adapter over shaft and engage rabbit of motor.
Note: Do not touch the seal surfaces
because this may result in leakage. Do not
contaminate seal faces with fingerprints.
Lubricate smaller OD of shaft sleeve with silicone grease.
Do not use petroleum oil or grease.
Place spring on shaft sleeve to abut against sleeve
shoulder. Slide rotary seal on sleeve until it contacts
spring.
Slide the shaft sleeve on the shaft, larger bore first. Be
certain the O-ring is correctly seated in the groove.
Assemble impeller key and impeller on shaft. Refit with
new impeller washer on impeller bolt and tighten carefully. Be certain that the impeller rotates freely by hand.
Apply a few spots of gasket adhesive to gasket surface of
cover. Place a new casing gasket against gasket surface
and press against adhesive.
Assemble cover-adapter complete with motor into casing. Insure that gasket is seated correctly. Install hexheaded cap screws into casing tapings and tighten uniformly.
piping, unless extra care is taken to measure
and align the piping flanges well. Always
start piping from pump. Use as few bends as
possible and preferably long radius elbows.
Do not use flexible connectors on the suction or discharge of a vertical in-line pump, unless the pump is rigidly mounted to a foundation. Ensure piping exerts no
strain on pump as this could distort the casing causing
breakage or early failure due to pump misalignment. All
connecting pipe flanges must be square to the pipe work
and parallel to the pump flanges.
Suction and discharge pipes may be increased or
decreased at pump nozzle to suit pump capacity and particular conditions of installation. Use eccentric reducers
on suction connection with flat side uppermost.
Lay out the suction line with a continual rise towards the
pump without high points, thus eliminating possibility of
air pockets that may prevent the pump from operating
effectively.
Airflow into the motor and/or motor fan should not be
obstructed.
7.2 VFD Mounting to Pump
For instructions on mounting the VFD directly to the
pump, see the diagrams and notes on the following page.

7 MECHANICAL INSTALLATION
7.1 Location
In open systems, locate the unit as close as practical to
the liquid supply source, with a short, direct suction pipe.
Ensure adequate space is left above and around the unit
for operation, maintenance, service and inspection of
parts.
In closed systems, where possible, the pumps should be
installed immediately downstream of the expansion tank/
make-up connection. This is the point of zero pressure
change and is necessary for effective pump operation.
Do not install more than one expansion tank connection
into any closed hydronic system.
Electric motor driven pumps should not be located in
damp or dusty location without special protection.
1.Items specified on this drawing are specifically for the SKV or SKS product series.
2.Assemble safety strap onto isolation mount stud to produce orientation shown in the assembly drawing.
3.Apply 'Loctite' to isolation mount stud threads (1 place) on all 4x parts.
4.Assemble threaded stud with 'Loctite' into bar bracket until surfaces are in contact without gaps.
5.Use strap wrench for isolation mounts. Screw mount into bar bracket (#2) until the rubber face is flush against the
bar. Torque the mount 1/4 of a full turn.
• Check the weight of the unit to determine a safe lifting method.
• Ensure that the lifting device is suitable for the task.
• If necessary, plan for a hoist, crane, or forklift with the
appropriate rating to move the unit.
• For lifting, use hoist rings on the unit, when provided.
7.3.2 Mounting
• Mount the unit vertically.
• The frequency converter allows side by side installation.
• Ensure that the strength of the mounting location will
support the unit weight.
• Mount the unit to a solid flat surface or to the optional
back plate to provide cooling airflow (see Figure 7-2
and Figure 7-3).
• Improper mounting can result in overheating and
reduced performance.
• Use the slotted mounting holes on the unit for wall
mounting, when provided.
Figure 7-2: Proper Mounting with Back Plate
Item A is a back plate properly installed for required airflow to cool the unit.
7.3.3 Tightening Torques
See “17.2 Connection Tightening Torques” on page 77
for proper tightening specifications.
7.4 Pump Piping – Detailed
In order to achieve the full added value of the Vertical InLine pump design, it is important that you ensure the
pump is affixed to the system piping by the pump flanges
and the pump and motor assembly is allowed to float
freely with the expansion and contraction of the piping
system. Should any vertical in-line pump use supports to
the structure, it is imperative that no pipe strain is
imposed on the pump flanges. Compliant mounts such
as springs or “waffle”-style isolation pads should be used
under the pipe supports if the pump is not truly pipe
mounted.
Various installation arrangements are detailed in the figures that follow.
Figure 7-4: Hanger Supported, Pipe Mounted
NOTE: Back plate is required when mounted
on railings.
NOTE: The pump should not be rigidly attached to the base/pad structure unless flexible couplings are used.
Vertical In-Line pumps may be installed directly in the
system piping with no additional support. Pipe hangers
are simply sized for the additional weight of the pumping
unit. Many pumps are installed in this manner and are
mounted at sufficient height to take zero floor space.
A similar arrangement to Figure 7-5 with additional floor
mounted pipe-stools isolated from the structure by 'waffle' style isolation pads under the Suction Diffuser (RSP)
and Plus Two Multi-Purpose Valve is illustrated in
(Figure 7-7).
(Figure 7-4)
Piping for smaller in-line pumps (typically 15 hp and
below) is hung close to the ceiling in many mechanical
rooms. Larger pumps are often mounted near ground
level for ease of maintenance. Figure 7-5 illustrates such
an arrangement with the piping supported at the ceiling
and the vertical pump installed with a Taco Suction Diffuser (RSP) and Plus Two Multi-Purpose Valve.
Figure 7-5: Pipe Mounted, Supported at Ceiling
Floor mounted saddle supports (Figure 7-8) are typical
for condenser water pumps where cooling tower base is
near mechanical room elevation.
Figure 7-7: With Additional Pipe Supports
Figure 7-8: Floor Saddle Support
Should additional space saving be required, the discharge spool piece and Plus Two Multi-Purpose Valve
may be replaced by a long-radius elbow and the Plus
Two Multi-Purpose Valve field converted to a straight pattern configuration and installed in the vertical discharge
pipe (Figure 7-6).
Figure 7-6: Discharge Elbow for Minimum
Footprint
Where required, additional floor support may be used as
shown in Figure 7-9. Install a “waffle” isolation pad under
the pump. NOTE: The pump should not be rigidly
attached to the base/pad structure.
Figure 7-9: Additional Floor Support
Stanchion plates at the pump suction and discharge ports
may be supplied for installation convenience. Isolation
pads must be used under the legs and monitored as pipe
hangers are adjusted to ensure the pump flanges are not
supporting the piping. Bolting to the floor or housekeeping pad is not recommended. If the stanchions are bolted
down the bolts must be isolated from the stanchion or
inertia base and flexible pipe connectors used (Figure 7-
10).
Figure 7-10: With Stanchion Plates
An installation with stanchion plates for seismically active
regions is illustrated in Figure 7-11. Seismically rated isolation pads or snubbers with bolts isolated from the stanchion plates are installed to restrain the pump during a
seismic event. Pipe hangers carry the weight of the
equipment as seismic components are designed only to
restrain the equipment during a seismic event.
Figure 7-11: Installation in Seismically Active
Region
Figure 7-12: Mounting in Grooved Pipe Systems
DO NOT support the unit by the motor eye bolts
(Figure 7-13) or by any other part of the motor.
Figure 7-13: Motor Lifting Hook Supported
Connecting the pump to a permanent rigid base
(Figure 7-14) is not recommended unless isolated from
the piping by flexible connectors and the base isolated
from the building structure on an inertia base. (Figure 714 is generally acceptable when using plastic piping.)
Figure 7-14: Mounted on Rigid Base without
Flexible Connectors
In systems utilizing grooved pipe, flange adapter locking
devices or welded flanges at the pump should be used to
prevent the possibility of pipe mounted pumps rotating in
the piping (Figure 7-12).
NOTE: The pump should not be rigidly attached to the base/pad structure unless flexible couplings are used.
DANGER: EQUIPMENT HAZARD! Rotating shafts and electrical equipment can be hazardous. All electrical work must conform to national and local electrical codes. It is strongly recommended that installation,
start-up, and maintenance be performed only by trained and qualified personnel. Failure to follow these
guidelines could result in death or serious injury.
CAUTION:WIRING ISOLATION! Run input power, motor wiring and control wiring in three separate
metallic conduits or use separated shielded cable for high frequency noise isolation. Failure to isolate
power, motor and control wiring could result in less than optimum adjustable frequency drive and associated equipment performance.
For your safety, comply with the following requirements:
• Electronic controls equipment is connected to hazardous AC line voltage. Extreme care should be
taken to protect against electrical hazards when
applying power to the unit.
• Run motor cables from multiple adjustable frequency
drives separately. Induced voltage from output motor
cables run together can charge equipment capacitors
even with the equipment turned off and locked out.
8.2.1 Overload and Equipment Protection
• An electronically activated function within the adjustable frequency drive provides overload protection for
the motor. The overload calculates the level of
increase to activate timing for the trip (controller output stop) function. The higher the current draw, the
quicker the trip response. The overload provides
Class 20 motor protection. See “14 Warnings and
Alarms” on page 61 for details on the trip function.
• Because the motor wiring carries high frequency current, it is important that wiring for line power, motor
power, and control is run separately. Use metallic
conduit or separated shielded wire. Failure to isolate
power, motor, and control wiring could result in less
than optimum equipment performance. See Figure 8-
4.
Figure 8-4: Proper Electrical Installation Using
Flexible Conduit
All adjustable frequency drives must be provided with
short-circuit and overcurrent protection. Input fusing is
required to provide this protection, see Figure 9.2.3. If not
factory supplied, fuses must be provided by the installer
as part of installation.
Figure 8-5: Adjustable Frequency Drive Fuses
Wire Type and Ratings
• All wiring must comply with local and national regulations regarding cross-section and ambient temperature requirements.
• Danfoss recommends that all power connections be
made with a minimum 167°F [75 °C] rated copper
wire.
8.3 Grounding Requirements
DANGER: GROUNDING HAZARD! For
operator safety, it is important to ground
adjustable frequency drive properly in accordance with national and local electrical
codes as well as instructions contained
within these instructions. Ground currents
are higher than 3.5 mA. Failure to ground the
adjustable frequency drive properly could
result in death or serious injury.
NOTE: It is the responsibility of the user or certified electrical installer to ensure correct grounding of the equipment in accordance with national and local electrical
codes and standards.
• Follow all local and national electrical codes to
ground electrical equipment properly.
• Proper protective grounding for equipment with
ground currents higher than 3.5 mA must be established, see Leakage Current (>3.5 mA).
• A dedicated ground wire is required for input power,
motor power and control wiring.
• Use the clamps provided with on the equipment for
proper ground connections.
• Do not ground one adjustable frequency drive to
another in a “daisy chain” fashion.
• Keep the ground wire connections as short as possible.
• Use of high-strand wire to reduce electrical noise is
recommended.
• Follow the motor manufacturer wiring requirements.
8.3.1 Leakage Current (>3.5 mA)
Follow national and local codes regarding protective
grounding of equipment with a leakage current > 3.5 mA.
Adjustable frequency drive technology implies high frequency switching at high power. This will generate a leakage current in the ground connection. A fault current in
the adjustable frequency drive at the output power terminals might contain a DC component which can charge
the filter capacitors and cause a transient ground
current. The ground leakage current depends on
various system con"gurations including RFI filtering,
shielded motor cables, and adjustable frequency drive
power.
EN/IEC61800-5-1 (Power Drive System Product Standard)
requires special care if the leakage current exceeds
3.5mA.
Grounding must be reinforced in one of the following
ways:
• Ground wire of at least 0.0155 in2 [10mm2]
• Two separate ground wires both complying with the
dimensioning rules
See EN/IEC61800-5-1 and EN50178 for further information.
8.3.3 Grounding Using Shielded Cable
Grounding clamps are provided for motor wiring (see
Figure 8-6).
Figure 8-6:
Grounding with Shielded Cable
8.3.4 Grounding Using Conduit
DANGER: GROUNDING HAZARD! Do not
use conduit connected to the adjustable frequency drive as a replacement for proper
grounding. Ground currents are higher than
3.5 mA. Improper grounding can result in
personal injury or electrical shorts.
Dedicated grounding clamps are provided (See Figure 8-
7).
Figure 8-7: Grounding with Conduit
8.3.2 Using RCDs
Where residual current devices (RCDs), also known as
ground leakage circuit breakers (ELCBs), are used, comply with the following:
• Use RCDs of type B only which are capable of
detecting AC and DC currents
• Use RCDs with an inrush delay to prevent faults due
to transient ground currents
• Dimension RCDs according to the system configuration and environmental considerations
1.Use a wire stripper to remove the insulation for
proper grounding.
2.Secure the grounding clamp to the stripped portion
of the wire with the screws provided.
3.Secure the grounding wire to the grounding clamp
provided.

Taco® SKV
8.3.5 Motor Connection
DANGER: INDUCED VOLTAGE! Run out-
put motor cables from multiple adjustable
frequency drives separately. Induced voltage
from output motor cables run together can
charge equipment capacitors even with the
equipment turned off and locked out. Failure
to run output motor cables separately could
result in death or serious injury.
• For maximum wire sizes, see “17.1 Power-dependent Specifications” on page 75.
• Comply with local and national electrical codes for
cable sizes.
• Motor wiring knockouts or access panels are provided at the base of IP21 and higher (NEMA1/12)
units
• Do not install power factor correction capacitors
between the adjustable frequency drive and the
motor
• Do not wire a starting or pole-changing device
between the adjustable frequency drive and the
motor.
• Connect the 3-phase motor wiring to terminals 96
(U), 97 (V), and 98 (W).
• Ground the cable in accordance with grounding
instructions provided.
• Follow the motor manufacturer wiring requirements

8.3.6 AC Line Power Connection
Size wiring based upon the input current of the adjustable
frequency drive.
• Comply with local and national electrical codes for
cable sizes.
• Connect 3-phase AC input power wiring to terminals
L1, L2, and L3 (see Figure 8-11).
• Depending on the configuration of the equipment,
input power will be connected to the line power input
terminals or the input disconnect.
Figure 8-11: Connecting to AC Line Power
• Ground the cable in accordance with grounding
instructions provided in “8.3 Grounding Requirements” on page 12.
• All adjustable frequency drives may be used with an
isolated input source as well as with ground reference power lines. When supplied from an isolated
line power source (IT line power or floating delta) or
TT/TN-S line power with a grounded leg (grounded
delta), set 14-50 RFI 1 to OFF. When off, the internal
RFI filter capacitors between the chassis and the
intermediate circuit are isolated to avoid damage to
the intermediate circuit and to reduce ground capacity currents in accordance with IEC 61800-3.

B1, B2, C1 and C2 Enclosures
8.3.7 Control Wiring
Isolate control wiring from high power components in the
adjustable frequency drive.
If the adjustable frequency drive is connected to a thermistor, for PELV isolation, optional thermistor control wiring
must be reinforced/ double insulated. A 24 VDC supply
voltage is recommended.
Access
Remove access coverplate with a screwdriver. See “Figure 8-12: Control Wiring Access for A2, A3, B3, B4, C3
and C4 Enclosures” on page 15.
Or remove front cover by loosening attaching screws.
See “Figure 8-13: Control Wiring Access for A4, A5, B1,
B2, C1 and C2 Enclosures” on page 15.
Figure 8-14 shows the removable adjustable frequency
drive connectors.
Figure 8-14: Control Terminal Locations
Figure 8-15: Unplugging Control Terminals
1.Open the contact by inserting a small screwdriver
into the slot above or below the contact, as shown
in Figure 8-16.
2.Insert the bared control wire into the contact.
3.Remove the screwdriver to fasten the control wire
into the contact.
4.Ensure the contact is firmly established and not
loose. Loose control wiring can be the source of
equipment faults or less than optimal operation.
Figure 8-16: Connecting Control Wiring
• Connector 1 provides four programmable digital
inputs terminals, two additional digital terminals programmable as either input or output, a 24V DC terminal supply voltage, and a common for optional
customer supplied 24V DC voltage.
• Connector 2 terminals (+)68 and (-)69 are for an RS485 serial communications connection.
• Connector 3 provides two analog inputs, one analog
output, 10V DC supply voltage, and commons for the
inputs and output.
• Connector 4 is a USB port available for use with the
MCT-10 Set-up Software.
• Also provided are two Form C relay outputs that are
in various locations depending upon the adjustable
frequency drive configuration and size.
Wiring to Control Terminals
Control terminal connectors can be unplugged from the
adjustable frequency drive for ease of installation, as
shown in Figure 8-15.
Using Shielded Control Cables
Correct Shielding
The preferred method in most cases is to secure control
and serial communication cables with shielding clamps
provided at both ends to ensure best possible high frequency cable contact.
With very long control cables, ground loops may occur.
To eliminate ground loops, connect one end of the shieldtoground with a 100 nF capacitor (keeping leads short).
Avoid EMC noise on serial communication
To eliminate low-frequency noise between adjustable frequency drives, connect one end of the shield to terminal
61. This terminal is connected to ground via an internal
RC link. Use twisted-pair cables to reduce interference
between conductors.
Control Terminal Functions
Adjustable frequency drive functions are commanded by
receiving control input signals.
• Each terminal must be programmed for the function it
will be supporting in the parameters associated with
that terminal.
• It is important to confirm that the control terminal is
programmed for the correct function. See “9 User
Interface” on page 28for details on accessing parameters..
• The default terminal programming is intended to initiate adjustable frequency drive functioning in a typical
operational mode.
Jumper Terminals 12 and 27
A jumper wire may be required between terminal 12 (or
13) and terminal 27 for the adjustable frequency drive to
operate when using factory default programming values.
• Digital input terminal 27 is designed to receive an
24VDC external interlock command. In many applications, the user wires an external interlock device to
terminal 27.
• When no interlock device is used, wire a jumper
between control terminal 12 (recommended) or 13 to
terminal 27. This provides an internal 24 V signal on
terminal 27.
• No signal present prevents the unit from operating.
• When the status line at the bottom of the LCP reads
“AUTO REMOTE COASTING” or “Alarm 60 External
Interlock” is displayed, this indicates that the unit is
ready to operate but is missing an input signal on terminal 27.
• When factory installed optional equipment is wired to
terminal 27, do not remove that wiring.
Terminal 53 and 54 Switches
• Analog input terminals 53 and 54 can select either
voltage (0 to 10V) or current (0/4–20mA) input signals
• Remove power to the adjustable frequency drive
before changing switch positions.
• Set switches A53 and A54 to select the signal type. U
selects voltage, I selects current.
• The switches are accessible when the LCP has been
removed (see Figure 8-17). Note that some option
cards available for the unit may cover these switches
and must be removed to change switch settings.
Always remove power to the unit before removing
option cards.
• Terminal 53 default is for a speed reference signal in
open-loop set in 16-61 Terminal 53 Switch Setting
• Terminal 54 default is for a feedback signal in closedloop set in 16-63 Terminal 54 Switch Setting
The unit connection blocks are shown in “Figure 8-14: Control Terminal Locations” on page 16.

8.4.6 Control From External PLC/BMS Using Communications Port
The controller can be controlled from a BMS or PLC through the communications port. In this configuration, the BMS or
PLC overrides the setpoint to control the drive. Control cables must be braided screened/shielded and the screen must
be connected to the metal cabinet of the controller using two cable clamps (one at each end). The bus connections
must be terminated by turning the BUS TER switch to the on position. This switch can be found under the LCP, when
the LCP is detached.
This wiring scheme is used with Set-up 2, as shown in “10.1 SelfSensing Description” on page 34.

The Taco SelfSensing pump is a Taco pump equipped
with a variable frequency drive (VFD) with SelfSensing
control technology. SelfSensing control is an innovative
concept in circulating pumps. Pump performance and
characteristic curves are embedded in the memory of the
speed controller during manufacture. This data includes
power, speed, head and flow across the flow range of the
pump. During operation, the power and speed of the
pump are monitored, enabling the controller to establish
the hydraulic performance and position in the pumps
head-flow characteristic.
These measurements enable the pump to continuously
identify the head and flow at any point in time, giving
accurate pressure control without the need for external
feedback signals. Patented software technology within
the controller ensures trouble-free operation in all conditions.
Incorporating the pump’s hydraulic data into the controller and removing sensors results in true integration of all
components and removes the risk of sensor failure.

10.2.1 Set-up Change Procedure
To change the set-up, follow the steps below.
1.If the pump is enabled, press the [Off] button and
ensure the motor has stopped.

Under Variable Flow Control (otherwise known as Flow
Compensation mode), the controller is set to control the
pump speed according to a ‘control curve’ between max
and min flow (see Figure 10-1 below). This mode should
be used for system distribution pumps. It is widely recognised that fitting a differential pressure sensor at the most
remote load, across the supply piping and return piping
encompassing the valve & coil set, is the benchmark
scheme for energy efficiency.

’ as the default.
DESIGN
10.4 Constant Flow Control
SelfSensing pumps can be configured to maintain a constant pump flow in a system. This control setting is ideal
for primary systems such as boiler or chiller loops that
require a constant flow.
10.4.1 For Central Plant, Constant Flow
Boiler/Chiller
If this pump was ordered for a central plant constant flow
boiler/chiller, you do not need to go through the balancing
procedures below. Ensure the drive is already in Set-up 3
(SelfSensing Constant Flow Mode) and is therefore
already self-balancing.
Figure 10-2: Constant Flow Graph
SelfSensing pumps can replicate this control without the
need for the remote sensor. As the flow required by the
system is reduced, the pump automatically reduces the
head developed according to the pre-set control curve. In
other words, the pump follows the control curve.
It is often found that using a remote differential pressure
sensor to sense the pressure across a remote load could
theoretically result in loads close to the pump being
under-pumped. The situation would be where the load at
a loop extremity is satisfied and the control valve closes
while a load close to the pump needs full flow. The probability of this occuring is remote but it is possible. One
answer to this is to move the sensor closer to the pump
(two-thirds out in the system is a popular recommendation) although physically re-positioning the sensor at a
commissioning stage can be a costly exercise. With SelfSensing pump control it is possible to replicate the moving of a sensor by increasing the Control Head setting.
The design duty head and flow of the pump (provided at
time of order) is shown as point ‘A’ in Figure 10-1 below.
It is not always the case that the design duty point
required will fall on the maximum speed of the pump and
in the majority of cases (as shown in Figure 10-1 above)
it will be at a reduced speed.
To set the pump to constant flow mode and adjust the
flow rate, follow steps 1-12 in section 12.3.1.
SelfSensing pumps can be configured to maintain a constant pump head in a system as the demand varies. This
effectively simulates the mounting of a differential pressure sensor at, or near, the pump.

Figure 12-4 shows a typical system response at startup.
Point A is programmed at the factory per the specification/equipment schedule and the pump is set to stay on
the control curve shown in Figure 12-1. However, pumps
are typically oversized due to safety factor. Since the
actual system resistance is too low for the pump to operate at Point A, after it reaches its max speed (typically
60hz), the pump will 'run out' to the right on the 60hz
curve to Point B.

The adjustable frequency drive monitors the condition of
its input power, output, and motor factors as well as other
system performance indicators. A warning or alarm may
not necessarily indicate a problem internal to the adjustable frequency drive itself. In many cases it indicates failure conditions from input voltage, motor load or
temperature, external signals, or other areas monitored
by the adjustable frequency drive’s internal logic. Be sure
to investigate those areas exterior to the adjustable frequency drive as indicated in the alarm or warning.
14.0.2 Warning and Alarm Types
Warnings
A warning is issued when an alarm condition is impending or when an abnormal operating condition is present
and may result in the adjustable frequency drive issuing
an alarm. A warning clears by itself when the abnormal
condition is removed.
Alarms
Trip
An alarm is issued when the adjustable frequency drive is
tripped, that is, the adjustable frequency drive suspends
operation to prevent adjustable frequency drive or system damage. The motor will coast to a stop. The adjustable frequency drive logic will continue to operate and
monitor the adjustable frequency drive status. After the
fault condition is remedied, the adjustable frequency
drive can be reset. It will then be ready to start operation
again.
A trip can be reset in any of 4 ways:
• Press [RESET] on the LCP
• Digital reset input command
• Serial communication reset input command
• Auto reset
Trip Lock
An alarm that causes the adjustable frequency drive to
trip lock requires that input power is cycled. The motor
will coast to a stop. The adjustable frequency drive logic
will continue to operate and monitor the adjustable frequency drive status. Remove input power to the adjustable frequency drive and correct the cause of the fault,
then restore power. This action puts the adjustable frequency drive into a trip condition as described above and
may be reset in any of those four ways.
14.0.3 Warning and Alarm Displays
An alarm or trip lock alarm will flash on display along with
the alarm number.
In addition to the text and alarm code on the adjustable
frequency drive display, the status indicator lights operate.

The warning/alarm information below defines the warning/alarm condition, provides the probable cause for the
condition, and details a remedy or troubleshooting procedure.
WARNING 1, 10 volts low
The control card voltage is below 10 V from terminal 50.
Remove some of the load from terminal 50, as the 10 V
supply is overloaded. Max. 15 mA or minimum 590
Ohms. This condition can be caused by a short in a connected potentiometer or improper wiring of the potentiometer.
Troubleshooting
Remove the wiring from terminal 50. If the warning
clears, the problem is with the customer wiring. If the
warning does not clear, replace the control card.
WARNING/ALARM 2, Live zero error
This warning or alarm will only appear if programmed by
the user in 6-01 Live Zero Timeout Function. The signal
on one of the analog inputs is less than 50% of the minimum value programmed for that input. This condition can
be caused by broken wiring or faulty device sending the
signal.
Troubleshooting
Check connections on all the analog input terminals.
Control card terminals 53 and 54 for signals, terminal 55
common. MCB 101 terminals 11 and 12 for signals, terminal 10 common. MCB 109 terminals 1, 3, 5 for signals,
terminals 2, 4, 6 common).
Check that the adjustable frequency drive programming
and switch settings match the analog signal type.

WARNING/ALARM 4, Mains phase loss
A phase is missing on the supply side, or the line voltage
imbalance is too high. This message also appears for a
fault in the input recti!er on the adjustable frequency
drive. Options are programmed at 14-12 Function at
Mains Imbalance.
Troubleshooting
Check the supply voltage and supply currents to the
adjustable frequency drive.
WARNING 5, DC link voltage high
The intermediate circuit voltage (DC) is higher than the
high voltage warning limit. The limit is dependent on the
adjustable frequency drive voltage rating. The adjustable
frequency drive is still active.
WARNING 6, DC link voltage low
The intermediate circuit voltage (DC) is lower than the
low voltage warning limit. The limit is dependent on the
adjustable frequency drive voltage rating. The adjustable
frequency drive is still active.
WARNING/ALARM 7, DC overvoltage
If the intermediate circuit voltage exceeds the limit, the
adjustable frequency drive trips after a time.
Troubleshooting
Connect a brake resistor
Extend the ramp time
Change the ramp type
Activate functions in 2-10 Brake Function
Increase 14-26 Trip Delay at Inverter Fault
WARNING/ALARM 8, DC undervoltage
If the intermediate circuit voltage (DC) drops below the
undervoltage limit, the adjustable frequency drive checks
if a 24 VDC backup supply is connected. If no 24 VDC
backup supply is connected, the adjustable frequency
drive trips after a !xed time delay. The time delay varies
with unit size.
Troubleshooting
Check that the supply voltage matches the
adjustable frequency drive voltage.
Perform Input voltage test
Perform soft charge and recti!er circuit test
WARNING/ALARM 9, Inverter overload
The adjustable frequency drive is about to cut out
because of an overload (current too high for too long).
The counter for electronic, thermal inverter protection
gives a warning at 98% and trips at 100%, while giving an
alarm. The adjustable frequency drive cannot be reset
until the counter is below 90%.
The fault is that the adjustable frequency drive has been
overloaded by more than 100% for too long.
Troubleshooting
Compare the output current shown on the LCP with the
adjustable frequency drive rated current.
Compare the output current shown on the LCP with measured motor current.
Display the Thermal Drive Load on the LCP and monitor
the value. When running above the adjustable frequency
drive continuous current rating, the counter should
increase. When running below the adjustable frequency
drive continuous current rating, the counter should
decrease.
See the derating section in the Design Guide for more
details if a high switching frequency is required.
WARNING/ALARM 10, Motor Overload Temperature
According to the electronic thermal protection (ETR), the
motor is too hot. Select whether the adjustable frequency
drive gives a warning or an alarm when the counter
reaches 100% in 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection. The
fault occurs when the motor is overloaded by more than
100% for too long.
Troubleshooting
• Check for motor overheating.
• Check if the motor is mechanically overloaded.
• Check that the motor current set in 1-24 Motor Cur-rent is correct.
• Ensure that Motor data in parameters 1-20 through
1-25 are set correctly.
• If an external fan is in use, check in 1-91 Motor Exter-nal Fan that it is selected.
• Running AMA in 1-29 Automatic Motor Adaptation(AMA) may tune the adjustable frequency drive to the
motor more accurately and reduce thermal loading.
WARNING/ALARM 11, Thermistor overload
The thermistor might be disconnected. Select whether
the adjustable frequency drive gives a warning or an
alarm in 1-90 Motor Thermal Protection.
Troubleshooting
• Check for motor overheating.

thermistor is connected correctly between either terminal 18 or 19 (digital input PNP only) and terminal
50. Check 1-93 Thermistor Source selects terminal
18 or 19.
WARNING/ALARM 12, Torque limit
The torque has exceeded the value in 4-16 Torque Limit
Motor Mode or the value in 4-17 Torque Limit Generator
Mode. 14-25 Trip Delay at Torque Limit can change this
from a warning only condition to a warning followed by an
alarm.
Troubleshooting
• If the motor torque limit is exceeded during ramp-up,
extend the ramp-up time.
• If the generator torque limit is exceeded during rampdown, extend the ramp-down time.
• If torque limit occurs while running, possibly increase
the torque limit. Be sure the system can operate
safely at a higher torque.
• Check the application for excessive current draw on
the motor.
WARNING/ALARM 13, Overcurrent
The inverter peak current limit (approx. 200% of the rated
current) is exceeded. The warning lasts about 1.5 sec.
Then the adjustable frequency drive trips and issues an
alarm. This fault may be caused by shock loading or fast
acceleration with high inertia loads. If extended mechan
ical brake control is selected, trip can be reset externally.
Troubleshooting
• Remove power and check if the motor shaft can be
turned.
• Make sure that the motor size matches the adjustable frequency drive.
• Check parameters 1-20 through 1-25 for correct
motor data.

This section describes how to alternate Taco SKV pump units based on elapsed time and how to configure the standby
pump to energize in the event that the duty pump fails.
A.1 Overview
Two identical drives are used; one installed on each pump. One drive is configured as the “lead” drive and the other as
the “standby” drive, but both drives participate equally in the alternation. The “lead” drive is the drive that controls the
alternation process. If one drive enters an alarm condition, the other automatically assumes operation. Alternation
attempts do not occur when one drive is in alarm.
This system requires one set of dry contacts for start/stop. Twenty-four VDC control voltage from both drives is wired to
the lead drive’s relay 1. If the lead drive’s control circuitry is working, it supplies power. If the lead drive cannot provide
control voltage, the standby drive automatically assumes control.
No external monitoring is needed. Pump alternation is controlled by the active set-up of each drive. The active set-up is
controlled by the lead drive.
• Under normal conditions, the lead drivechanges its active set-up based on the time delay specified in timer 0 by
parameter setting 13–20.0.
• When the lead drive is operating normally in set-up 1, its digital output 29 is high. This state puts the standby drive
into set-up 2.
• When the lead drive is operating normally in set-up 2, its digital output 29 is low. This state puts the standby drive
into set-up 1.
• If the lead drive encounters an alarm condition or loses power, its digital output 29 is low. This state puts the
standby drive into set-up 1, allowing it to take over operation.
• If the standby drive encounters an alarm condition or loses power, its digital output 27 is low. This condition causes
the lead drive to move into set-up 1, allowing it to take over operation.
During system commissioning and other situations, the
user may want to force pump alternation rather than rely
on the setting in parameter 13-20.0.
• Logic rule 1 allows the user to override the timer by
pressing the [ok] and [>] keys on the keypad (local
control panel) simultaneously.
• Timer 1 offers “anti–bounce” protection for this key
combination. After this combination of keys is
pressed, the drive ignores any instance of the same
combination again for two seconds.

APPENDIX B: ON-SITE DRIVE MOUNTING TO WALL OR PUMP
Follow the steps below for on-site drive mounting to wall
or to pump.
B.1 Match Pump and Drive Tags
IMPORTANT: Ensure the pump tag matches
the VFD tag. The pump and drive will have
identical tags as shown below.
Figure B-1: Example Tag
B.2 Mechanical Connections
For mechanical connections to pump, see section 7.2.
For mechanical connections to wall, see section 7.3.
B.3 Electric Code Compliance
Installation must be in compliance with national and local
electric codes.
For electrical connections see Section “8 Electrical Connections” on page 9.
B.4 Before Start Safety Inspection
DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE! If input and out-
put connections have been connected
improperly, there is potential for high voltage
on these terminals. If power leads for multiple motors are improperly run in same conduit, there is potential for leakage current to
charge capacitors within the frequency converter, even when disconnected from mains
input. For initial start up, make no assumptions about power components. Follow prestart procedures. Failure to follow pre-start
procedures could result in personal injury or
damage to equipment.
1.Input power to the unit must be OFF and locked
out. Do not rely on the frequency converter disconnect switches for input power isolation.
2.Verify that there is no voltage on input terminals L1
(91), L2 (92), and L3 (93), phase-to-phase and
phase-to-ground.
3.Verify that there is no voltage on output terminals
96 (U), 97 (V), and 98 (W), phase-to-phase and
phase-to-ground.
4.Confirm continuity of the motor by measuring ohm
values on U-V (96-97), V-W (97-98), and W-U (98-
96).
5.Check for proper grounding of the frequency converter as well as the motor.
6.Inspect the frequency converter for loose connections on terminals.
7.Record the following motor-nameplate data: power,
voltage, frequency, full load current, and nominal
speed. These values are needed to program motor
nameplate data later.
8.Confirm that the supply voltage matches voltage of
frequency converter and motor.
CAUTION: Before applying power to the
unit, inspect the entire installation as detailed
in Table 23 on page 84. Check mark those
items when completed.
Auxiliary equipment – Look for auxiliary equipment, switches, disconnects, or input fuses/cir-
cuit breakers that may reside on the input power side of the frequency
converter or output side to the motor. Ensure that they are ready for full
speed operation.
– Check function and installation of any sensors used for feedback to the
frequency converter.
– Remove power factor correction caps on motor(s), if present.
Cable routing – Ensure that input power, motor wiring, and control wiring are separated
or in three separate metallic conduits for high frequency noise isolation.
Control wiring – Check for broken or damaged wires and loose connections.
– Check that control wiring is isolated from power and motor wiring for
noise immunity.
– Check the voltage source of the signals, if necessary.
– The use of shielded cable or twisted pair is recommended. Ensure that
the shield is terminated correctly.
Cooling clearance – Measure that top and bottom clearance is adequate to ensure proper air
flow for cooling.
EMC considerations – Check for proper installation regarding electromagnetic compatibility.
Environmental considerations – See equipment label for the maximum ambient operating temperature
limits.
– Humidity levels must be 5-95% non-condensing.
Fusing and circuit breakers – Check for proper fusing or circuit breakers.
– Check that all fuses are inserted firmly and in operational condition and
that all circuit breakers are in the open position.
(grounding) – The unit requires an earth wire(ground wire) from its chassis to the build-
ing earth (ground).
– Check for good earth connections(ground connections) that are tight
and free of oxidation.
– Earthing (Grounding) to conduit or mounting the back panel to a metal
surface is not a suitable earth (ground).
Input and output power wiring – Check for loose connections.
– Check that motor and mains are in separate conduit or separated
screened cables.
Panel interior – Inspect that the unit interior is free of dirt, metal chips, moisture, and cor-
rosion.
Switches – Ensure that all switch and disconnect settings are in the proper posi-
tions.
Vibration – Check that the unit is mounted solidly or that shock mounts are used, as
necessary.
– Check for an unusual amount of vibration.
B.5 Applying Power to the Frequency Converter
DANGER: HIGH VOLTAGE! Frequency converters contain high voltage when connected to AC mains.
Installation, start-up and maintenance should be performed by qualified personnel only. Failure to comply
could result in death or serious injury.
WARNING:UNINTENDED START! When
the frequency converter is connected to AC
mains, the motor may start at any time. The
frequency converter, motor, and any driven
equipment must be in operational readiness.
Failure to comply could result in death, serious injury, equipment, or property damage.
1.Confirm the input voltage is balanced within 3%. If
not, correct input voltage imbalance before proceeding. Repeat this procedure after the voltage
correction.
2.Ensure that optional equipment wiring, if present,
matches the installation application.
3.Ensure that all operator devices are in the OFF
position. Panel doors should be closed or cover
mounted.
4.Apply power to the unit. DO NOT start the frequency converter at this time. For units with a disconnect switch, turn to the ON position to apply
power to the frequency converter.
NOTE: If the status line at the bottom of the LCP reads
“AUTO REMOTE COASTING” or “Alarm 60 External
Interlock” is displayed, this indicates that the unit is ready
to operate but is missing an input signal on terminal 27.
B.6 Run Automatic Motor Adaptation
Automatic motor adaptation (AMA) is a test procedure
that measures the electrical characteristics of the motor
to optimize compatibility between the frequency converter and the motor.
• The frequency converter builds a mathematical
model of the motor for regulating output motor current. The procedure also tests the input phase balance of electrical power. It compares the motor
characteristics with the data entered in parameters 120 to 1-25.
• It does not cause the motor to run or harm to the
motor. Some motors may be unable to run the complete version of the test. In that case, select Enablereduced AMA.
• If an output filter is connected to the motor, select
Enable reduced AMA.
• Run this procedure on a cold motor for best results.
NOTE: The AMA algorithm does not work
when using PM motors.
NOTE: AMA has already been completed by
Taco on all pump-mounted VFDs. You will
only need to run AMA if the wire/motor lead
is different from the one supplied by Taco.
To run AMA:
1.Press [Main Menu] to access parameters.
2.Scroll to parameter group 1-** Load and Motor.
3.Press [OK].
4.Scroll to parameter group 1-2* Motor Data.
5.Press [OK].
6.Scroll to 1-29 Automatic Motor Adaptation (AMA).
7.Press [OK].
8.Select Enable complete AMA.
9.Press [OK].
10.Follow on-screen instructions.
11.The test runs automatically and indicates when it
is complete.
