1 Important safety instructions

Read and follow the operating and safety instructions carefully

before starting operations!

All modifications must be done by qualified technicians!

Warning that failure to observe the precaution may cause electric shock

Warning that failure to observe the precaution may cause personal injury or damage to property.

In addition to these operating instructions please pay attention to universal safety and accident prevention regulations.

Basically the HYDROVAR must be disconnected from the power supply before any work can be carried out on the electrical or mechanical part of the system. Installation, maintenance and repair work may be carried out only by trained, skilled and qualified personnel.

Unauthorized modification or changes to the system make all guarantees null and void.

During operation, the motor can be stopped by opening a digital input or manual operation whereby the HYDROVAR and the motor remain under voltage. For safety reasons, the HYDROVAR has to be disconnected from the power supply when carrying out work on the machinery.

When the HYDROVAR is connected to the power supply, the components of the power unit as well as certain components of the control unit are connected directly to mains.

Touching these components seriously endangers life!

Before removing the HYDROVAR cover the system must be disconnected from the power supply. After switching off the power supply wait at least 5 minutes before starting work on or in the HYDROVAR (the capacitors in the intermediate circuit are discharged by the internal discharge resistors).

Voltages of up to 800 volts are possible (in case of error these also can be higher)

All work, carried out on the HYDROVAR, may only be performed by qualified and authorized staff.

Furthermore, take care not to short circuit the neighbouring components when connecting the external control wires. All cable ends which are not in use have to be isolated.

The HYDROVAR contains electronic safety devices which switch off the control element in the event of a fault, whereby the motor has zero current but remains energised and comes to a halt. The motor can also be halted by mechanical blocking. If it is switched off electronically the motor is current less from the mains voltage through the electronics of the HYDROVAR but is not potential-free in the circuit.

In addition voltage fluctuations, especially power failures can cause the system to switch itself off. Repair of faults can cause the motor to start up again automatically!

The system may only be put into operation when it has been grounded. In addition to that, equipotential bonding of all conductive pipes must be ensured. Please consider local installation standards!

High voltage tests of the HYDROVAR or the motor may damage the electronic components! Hence bridge the in- and outgoing terminals L1 - L2 - L3 / U-V-W before. To avoid incorrect metering by capacitors incorporated in the electronic part isolate the motor from the HYDROVAR.

The operating instructions must be read, understood and followed by the operating personnel. We point out that we accept no liability for damage and operating disorders which are the result of non-compliance with the operating instructions.

Transport, handling, storage, disposal:

• Check the HYDROVAR immediately after delivery/receipt for damage or missing parts

• The HYDROVAR unit must be transported carefully.

• Avoid serious impacts

NOTICE!

Dispose of all packing materials and the HYDROVAR unit in accordance with local regulations. For more detailed information about the recycling of this product, please contact your local authority, your waste disposal service provider or the outlet where you purchased the product.

CAUTION!

Lifting aids (stacker, crane, crane mounting device, lifting blocks, sling ropes, etc.) must be suitable to handle the weight of the HYDROVAR.

CAUTION!

It is not allowed to carry the HYDROVAR around by using the connected cables. Do not damage the cable during transport (do not squeeze, bend or drag). The cable ends must be kept dry.

WARNING!

• Do not stand underneath suspended loads

• Take note of the general regulations on prevention of accidents

• The HYDROVAR must be secured against tipping over and slipping until

it has been fixed in its final location.

2 System design

The following diagrams show typical SINGLE and multi-pump systems using the HYDROVAR. Connection can be made directly to a water supply. In such a case, the use of a low pressure switch on the suction is recommended.

SINGLE pump layout Multi pump layout

(1) pump with HYDROVAR (2) diaphragm tank (3) distribution panel

(4) gate valve (5) non return valve (6) low water control

(7) pressure gauge (8) pressure transmitter (9) drain tap

2.1 Pressure tank

A diaphragm pressure tank is used on the discharge side of the pump to maintain pressure in the line when there is no water demand. This avoids the pump from continuing to run at zero demand. With the HYDROVAR, no large tanks are required for supply purposes. The tank must be permitted and suitable for systems pressure. The tank should have a capacity of min. 10% of the maximum system flow rate [l/min] of one pump (also valid for multi-pump system).

Example: Maximum flow rate of the pump = 250 litres per minute Minimum volume of the tank = 250 x 0.10 = 25 litres

The pre-charge pressure of the tank can be determined by using the following table:

required pressure [bar]

pre-charge pressure [bar]

NOTICE:

To check and set the right pre-charge pressure, please reduce the water pressure to zero by turning the HYDROVAR off.

3 Product overview

3.1 Hardware configurations

The HYDROVAR modular concept basically consists of two main parts: the power unit and the control card. In its BASIC configuration (consisting of only the power unit) the HYDROVAR can be used as so called BASIC Inverter. In that configuration the HYDROVAR can be used as a sequence pump in a multi pump system, but also as a simple soft starter for SINGLE pump applications. By attaching one of the additional control cards to the BASIC Inverter the HYDROVAR can be upgraded either to the so called SINGLE or the MASTER Inverter.

BASIC Inverter – HYDROVAR BASIC unit (not available for HV 4.150 – 4.220).

Application:

- Sequence pump in a multi pump system, SINGLE pump operation as soft-starter

SINGLE Inverter – HYDROVAR BASIC Inverter with included control card for SINGLE pump operation. This SINGLE Inverter is not able to support any optional modules like the Relay Card.

Application:

- Simple SINGLE pump applications

MASTER Inverter – HYDROVAR BASIC Inverter including the high level control card (supports also the optional modules like the Relay Card and all specific software features).

Application:

- SINGLE pump control including all extended features

- Multi pump system of MASTER and BASIC Inverters (up to 8 pumps)

- Multi pump system equipped with up to 8 MASTER Inverters

- Control of up to 5 fixed speed pumps when used in combination with the optional relay card

3.2 Operating modes

3.2.1 Actuator (for SINGLE pump operation only!)

In this mode the HYDROVAR operates as an actuator according an external speed signal or continuous operation on either one or two programmed frequencies by using the corresponding digital input.

Please consider that this mode is only possible with a HYDROVAR MASTER or SINGLE

Inverter and is limited for SINGLE pump operation only

3.2.2 Controller

This mode is set as default operating mode and is used for a HYDROVAR in SINGLE pump operation when there is no connection to any other HYDROVAR via the internal RS485 interface.

3.2.3 Cascade Serial / Synchronous (not for SINGLE version)

In these modes various combinations among the versions BASIC and MASTER Inverter are possible. In general each of the pumps needs to be equipped with a HYDROVAR unit. All the units are connected via the RS485 interface and communicate via the standard MODBUSprotocol (9600 Baud, RTU, N81).

To realise a fully controlled system at least one MASTER Inverter is needed, the remaining pumps could be fitted just with a BASIC Inverter. The controller in the MASTER Inverter is continuously in communication with all the BASIC Inverters. All failures are indicated on the MASTER including the date and time.

All the control is done by the MASTER Inverter including automatic change over of the lag pumps to provide even wear and achieve even operating hours.

If the control card of a MASTER Inverter fails, each of the BASIC Inverters can be manually started by an external switch (manual operation) in order to ensure an emergency operation of the system.

Application Example

Each pump of the system (up to 8 pumps) is equipped with a HYDROVAR unit (at least one MASTER Inverter and remaining ones can be BASIC Inverters). All units are connected via the serial interface (RS485).

The combination of the different HYDROVAR units which are used in a multi-pump-system depends on the system requirements (i.e. in a 6 pump system 2 MASTER Inverters can be used due to reliability reasons and 4 BASIC Inverters without control card – or just any other combination).

Minimum requirement: 1 MASTER Inverter and the other pumps equipped with BASIC Inverters

To increase the operating reliability of such a system, also a second MASTER Inverter is recommended:

Full-featured possibility: Each pump is equipped with a MASTER Inverter

In this mode it is possible to run all pumps in cascade serial mode and synchronous mode as well.

This configuration allows each pump of the system to become the lead pump. This also ensures a proper operation if one MASTER Inverter fails. In this case another HYDROVAR takes control. This ensures that the operating hours of each pump will be the same to ensure even wear of the pumps.

3.2.4 Cascade Relay (not for SINGLE version)

One pump is fitted with a HYDROVAR MASTER Inverter and up to 5 slave pumps can be switched ON and OFF on demand. For this purpose an additional relay card including 5 relays is attached to the MASTER Inverter. However an external switchboard is needed for all the motor relays as the relays in the HYDROVAR are not able to switch the pumps directly (just used as control contacts).

Also an automatic change over of the fixed speed pumps to provide even wear and achieve even operating hours is possible in this mode.

This configuration is a cost effective alternative compared with other solutions using VFD’s on each pump, but in any case care has to be taken due to the lower reliability of such a system.

Application example

Booster sets up to 6 pumps where only one pump is speed controlled by the HYDROVAR and the others are fixed speed (1 HYDROVAR MASTER Inverter+5 fixed speed).

Make sure that the electrical data of the HYDROVAR match those of the electric pump. Improper combinations may cause errors and malfunction of the protection of the electric motor.

The nominal current of the motor must be lower than the rated current of the HYDROVAR to prevent overheating or shutdown due to OVERLOAD.

The max. output current of the HYDROVAR could reach 110% of the nominal current for max. 60 sec. before the error OVERLOAD will occur.

5.2 EMC requirements (Electromagnetic compatibility)

The EMC requirements in general differ between two environments which depending on the intended use.

• First environment – class B (EN 61800-3: Class C2)

Environment that includes domestic premises, it also includes establishments directly connected without intermediate transformers to a low-voltage power supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes e.g. houses, apartments, commercial premises or offices in a residential building are typical examples of first environment locations.

Be careful: The relevant EMC regulations for which the HYDROVAR is tested in the first environment consider that the HYDROVAR is a restricted available product. That means the voltage of the inverter is less than 1000 V, it is neither a plug in device nor a movable device and, when used in the first environment, is intended to be installed and commissioned only by a person or an organisation having necessary skills in installing and/or commissioning power drive systems, including their EMC aspects.

• Second environment – class A (EN 61800-3: Class C3)

Environment that includes all establishments other than those directly connected to a low voltage power supply network which supplies buildings used for domestic purposes e.g. Industrial areas, technical areas of any building fed from a dedicated transformer are typical examples of second environment locations.

The HYDROVAR complies with the general EMC regulations and is tested according to the following standards: EN 61800-3/2004

EN 55011 (2002) Disturbance voltages / Disturbance field strength

First environment

– class B / class C2

9 Electrical installation and wiring

All installations and maintenance has to be performed by properly trained and qualified personnel with proper tools!! Use personal protection equipment.

In case of a failure, the electrical power has to be disconnected or switched off. Wait at least 5 minutes for capacitor discharge before servicing the HYDROVAR. Otherwise it can cause shock, burns or death.

9.1 Means of protection

Ask your power supply company which means of protection are required.

Applicable:

• protective earthing

• AC and DC residual current operated protective devices (RCD)

• TN systems

Protective earthing:

• Please note that a current to earth can occur due to the capacitors in the input filter.

• A suitable protection unit has to be selected (according local regulations).

Residual current device (RCD/RCCB):

• When using an RCD, make sure that it also releases in the event of a short circuit inside

the DC-part of the HYDROVAR to earth!

o SINGLE phase HYDROVAR => use pulse sensitive RCDs o three phase HYDROVAR => use AC/DC sensitive RCDs

• The RCD has to be installed according local regulations!

Automatic circuit breaker:

• Use automatic circuit breaker with C-type characteristic curve

• Rating of the line-protection (see chapter Technical Data)

Internal protective devices of the HYDROVAR:

• The malfunctions short circuit, under- and overvoltage, overload and the

overheating of the electronic components are monitored internally by the HYDROVAR.

External protective devices:

• Additional protective functions like motor overheat and low water protection, are

controlled by external equipment.

9.2 EMC-electromagnetic compatibility

To ensure the electromagnetic compatibility the following points must be observed for cable installation:

Earth / ground to ensure EMC

• Protection earth

It is important to connect the HYDROVAR to PE, because of the earth leakage current.

• HF earth connection

Ground cables should be as short as possible and with lowest impedance.

Signal cables

Control and signal cables should be screened types to prevent disturbances from outside.

The screen should be only connected to ground on one end; to prevent ground loops. The screen should be connected to HYDROVAR GND (use pre mounted cable-clips). For small cable diameters the cable clips can be squeezed to ensure fixing.

Pre-mounted cable-clips

To connect a screen with lowest impedance to ground, remove the insulation from the signal cable and connect the screen to ground.

Signal cables must be installed separate from motor- and power- supply cables If signal cables are installed in parallel to power supply cables (motor cables) for a longer distance, the distance between these cables should be more than 200mm. Do not cross power cables and control cables - if this is not possible, cross them only in an angle of 90°.

Motor cables

To ensure the EMC compatibility and minimize noise level and leakage currents, keep the motor cable as short as possible (use shielded cables only if the total length exceeds 1.5 meters).

Additional component line choke (coil)

Line coils are available as an option and should be mounted between the HYDROVAR and the main fuse. The Line coil should be as near as possible to the HYDROVAR (max. 30cm).

Advantages:

• better efficiency

• reduction of harmonic currents

For the following applications additional line chokes are strongly recommended:

• high short circuit currents

• compensation-plants without a coil

• asynchronous motors which are responsible for a voltage drop >20% of the line

voltage

EMC summary

• Install potential equalization according to local regulations

• Do not install the power-cables in parallel to signal-cables

• Use screened signal-cables

• Connect both ends of the screen of the motor cable to ground

• Connect only one end of the screen of a signal-cable to ground

• Motor-cable as short as possible

• Pigtails should be prevented

9.3 Recommended Cable Types

To ensure the above mentioned points and to guarantee EMC compatibility and correct function of the HYDROVAR the recommended cable types should be used.

START/STOP_PTC

To ensure safety operation between the HYDROVAR and the motor a motor-thermo-switch or PTC should be connected to the power unit. Additionally this input can be used as an external ON / OFF signal when using the HYDROVAR just as BASIC Inverter. Both the signals must be connected to X1/PTC in series and will stop the HYDROVAR in case of a failure! (Also a low-water switch or any other protective devices can be connected to these terminals!) If there is no use of this input, terminals X1/PTC have to be bridged, otherwise the HYDROVAR will not start automatically.

9.4.3.1 Solo run

The terminals X1/SL are used to release a BASIC Inverter (when used in a multi-pump application) when the communication to the MASTER Inverter fails, or even the MASTER Inverter fails itself, or in case the BASIC Inverter is just used as a simple soft-starter.

• By opened contact X1/SL the HYDROVAR works in standard operation. So a BASIC

Inverter only starts up, if it is released and requested by a MASTER Inverter via the serial RS485-Interface.

• When contact X1/SL is closed the HYDROVAR starts up to pre-selected MAX. FREQUENCY

(fixed speed) [0245] using Ramp 1 and 2 and even the fast ramps FminA and FminD. (X1/PTC must be closed too - all external connected safety devices are still active)

A manual start up is always possible, even the HYDROVAR is equipped with a control card. For example, if it is necessary because of safety reasons to operate the BASIC Inverters when the MASTER Inverters fail, it is possible to equip this terminal with an AUTO/MANUAL switch.

The internal RS-485 Interface on the power unit is used for the communication between up to 8 HYDROVARs in a multi-pump system (minimum 1 MASTER Inverter). For the connection to each HYDROVAR via the RS-485 interface the terminals X2/1-3 on the power unit can be used twice. Or the terminals X4/4-6 on the control card can be used.

Mechanical connection of the terminal:

- Use recommended cable type (see chapter 9.3)

- Strip the end of the used wire (about 5 … 6mm)

- push down the orange wedges by using a small screwdriver

- insert the stripped wire

- remove the screwdriver to fix the wire

- To remove, push down the orange wedges and pull out the wire!

9.4.3.2 Addressing

When using the cascade serial/synchronous mode in a multi-pump-application (where more than one MASTER Inverter or even BASIC Inverters are used), the right address must be set to ensure a proper communication within the system.

MASTER Inverter – The desired address of the MASTER Inverter has to be set via the HYDROVAR-software. In this case for all MASTER Inverters the below shown dip-switch on the power unit must be set to address 1 (default setting).

BASIC Inverter (not standard use for HV 4.150-4.220) – when using a BASIC Inverter in a multi-pump-system it is necessary to set the dip-switches on the power unit in order to get a separate address for each Inverter within your pump group (Pls. consider reserved addresses for the MASTER Inverters).

Example: Multi-pump-system with 3 MASTER and 4 BASIC Inverters

• Set address 1-3 for the MASTER Inverters via appropriate software parameters

(See submenu CONF INVERTER [0200] or submenu RS485-INTERFACE [1200])

• Address 4-7 for the BASIC Inverters via dip-switch

The pre-selected address is also responsible for the pump sequence.

Switch 1 Switch 2 Switch

Address

switch 4 not used!

Setting of the correct address:

o The HYDROVAR must be disconnected from power supply at least for 5 minutes

before removing the top-cover (open four fastening screws)!

o Use the dip-switch which is on the power unit (see picture next page!) o Set the desired address for each HYDROVAR

E.g. Address 4 -> switch 1 is set to OFF

switch 2 and 3 are set to ON

o Mount the cover on the HYDROVAR and tighten the four fastening screws o Reconnect HYDROVAR to power supply

9.4.4 RFI – switch

For HYDROVAR HV4.055 – HV4.220 additional filter capacitors are included, which provide an improved filer characteristic in order to avoid RFI (Radio Frequency Interfaces) when the HYDROVAR is used as wall mounted device with longer motor cables between the HYDROVAR and the motor. In general the default settings should not be changed and remain in default position.

NOTE: Due to the additional filter capacity the earth leakage current will increase, if the filter is active. Therefore in case of using ELCB-relays (earth-leakage circuit breakers, RCD), they must be suitable for VFD’s (see also chapter 9.1).

HV4.150 – HV4.220 switch S1 and S2

S1 – used only for internal high voltage testing Closed (default setting): should not be changed be the end user Open: only for tests done by the manufacturer

S2 – activation HF filter capacitor Closed (default setting): RFI filter active for symmetric power supply net (standard in mainly all countries) Open: RFI filter deactivated for asymmetric power supply net (e.g. USA).

HV4.055 – HV4.110

(Placed at the front side of the HYDROVAR under the control card) S1 – activation HV filter capacitor Open (default setting):

change of position by the end user only after consultation of your local service partner. Closed: only for specific requirements referred to RFI

WARNING:

The switch may not be opened in case the HYDROVAR is still connected to the main supply. Before changing the position of the switch (ON/OFF) you have to be sure that the HYDROVAR is disconnected from the mains supply.

9.4.5 Control unit

Regarding the hardware configuration of the HYDROVAR two different control cards are available.

The control unit of the HYDROVAR MASTER Inverter basically consists of the control card and the additional boards which are connected to the control card via slot connectors. This configuration is able to support all special software features and optional boards.

The second available control card included in the HYDROVAR SINGLE Inverter is developed just for SINGLE pump operation. This control card doesn’t support any additional boards and includes just the necessary software parameters for SINGLE pump applications.

9.4.5.1 Control card – HYDROVAR MASTER Inverter

The control card is connected to the power unit via a ribbon cable on terminal X8.

• The display is connected to terminal X9

The display can be mounted in normal position (0°) or upside down (180°) – for HV2.015-4.110

• The connection terminals X6 and X7 can be used if optional boards are available.

E.g. the additional relay card can be connected to the control card at connection slot X6.

Connection example:

The following wiring diagram shows a standard cascade control system where the HYDROVAR is fitted with an additional Relay Card, in selected mode Cascade Relay.

To switch the fixed speed pumps via the internal Relay Card, an external panel for the contactors of the D.O.L or STAR/DELTA starters (and optional A/0/M – switch) is required.

In the example below 3 fixed speed pumps are connected to the Relay Card. For such an application, an optional HAND/OFF/AUTO switch (SW1, SW2, and SW3) is recommended.

- During normal operation the switch is set to AUTO, so the Relay Card of the HYDROVAR

starts and stops the connected pumps.

- The HAND position allows a manual operation of the pumps.

- If one of the additional switches is in OFF position, the related relay must be disabled in

the submenu STATUS [20] to ensure correct operation of the multi-pump system.

02 REQUIRED VAL

D1 X.XX Bar

The current REQUIRED VALUE and its source (by the additional information) are shown in this window.

D1 internal - required value 1 (set by parameter 0820) D2 internal - required value 2 (set by parameter 0825) U1 required value 1 - voltage signal input (Connected to X3/13) U2 required value 2 - voltage signal input (Connected to X3/15) I1 required value 1 – current signal input (Connected to X3/18) I2 required value 2 – current signal input (Connected to X3/23)

03 EFF REQ VAL D1 X.XX Bar

Effective required value

Shows the current required value that is calculated based on ACTUAL VALUE INCREASE [0505], ACTUAL VALUE DECREASE [0510] and LIFT AMOUNT [0330]. If the required value is influenced by an offset signal (SUBMENU OFFSET [0900]) the current active required value is also shown in this window.

E.g. Multi-pump-application with two pumps

REQUIRED VALUE [02]: 5.00 bar ACT. VALUE INCREASE [0505]: 0.50 bar ACT. VALUE DECREASE [0510]: 0.25 bar

-> REQ VAL EFF [03]: 5.25 bar

After starting the second pump the pressure will be increased to a system pressure of 5.25 bar. With this parameter you are able to see the calculated new required value.

c) Active MODE [0105] = Actuator

Frequency XX.X Hz

STOP X.XX Bar

1st display in Mode actuator

If parameter MODE [0105] is set to actuator the parameter REQUIRED VALUE [02] will change to ACTUAT. FREQ. and is equivalent to parameter [0830]. By using this parameter it is possible to run the HYDROVAR up to two pre-selected frequencies to manually control the HYDROVAR.

02 ACTUAT.FRQ.

D1 XX.X Hz

Set the desired frequency with either ▲ or ▼

The selected frequency in this parameter is only active in the actuator mode. The configuration must be done with parameter C.REQ.VAL.1 [0805] or C.REQ.VAL 2 [0810] and parameter SW REQ.VAL [0815]. For manual setting of the frequency the parameters ACTUATOR FREQUENCY 1 [0830] and ACTUATOR FREQUENCY 2 [0835] can be used. For detailed information how to run the HYDROVAR by manual control, see submenu REQUIRED VALUES [0800].

Parameter [03] is not shown in Mode - Actuator

Possible settings: 0 – 99 % – OFF

This parameter defines the start value after pump stop in percentage of the required value. E.g. REQUIRED VALUE [02]: 5.0 bar START VALUE [04]: 80 % --> 4.0 bar

If the pump system has reached the required pressure of 5.0 bar and there is no more consumption, the HYDROVAR shuts off the pump. When the consumption increases, and the pressure drops the pump normally starts. If a START VALUE [04] of 4.0 bar has been selected the pump won’t start until the pressure drops below.

The following parameters in the main-menu are valid for all selected modes:
