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)
5
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.

(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.
9
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
10
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.
11
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.

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

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.
25
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°.
26
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.

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.
Connection Example

If the HYDROVAR is used as a BASIC Inverter in a multi-pump system, the internal interface
on the power unit is used for the serial RS-485 connection to the other HYDROVAR units in
the system. (Be careful: Internal interface is not available in SINGLE Inverter configuration!)

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!
Connection example using one MASTER - and three BASIC - Inverters:
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 addressof 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.

Setting of the correct address:
oThe 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).

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.

RS-485 – Internal interface RS-485 - User interface
The internal RS-485 Interface is used for the communication between up to 8 HYDROVAR
in a multi-pump application. For the connection of each HYDROVAR via the RS-485
interface the terminals X4/4-6 on the control card, and either the terminals X2/1-3 on the
power unit can be used. (Connection example: using one
MASTER - and three BASIC Inverters)
By using the RS485 – User interface on the control card, one or more HYDROVAR can
communicate via the standardized Modbus protocol with an external-control-device (e.g.
PLC). This interface can be used for parameterization and controlling the HYDROVAR via
external devices. Also active for HYDROVAR SINGLE Inverter - configuration.
Do not use the internal interface as user interface and vice versa!

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.

This mode should be selected if only one HYDROVAR MASTER /SINGLE Inverter is used and
no connection to any other HYDROVAR via RS-485 interface is needed.
Cascade Relay:
The standard application for this mode is one MASTER –Inverter fitted with an additional
Relay Card to control up to 5 fixed speed pumps.
No connection to any other HYDROVAR via RS-485 Interface possible.
Advantages: costs, realizing of simple systems
Disadvantage: quality of regulation, reliability
Cascade Serial:
Has to be selected if more than one HYDROVAR controlled pump operate together via the
RS-485 interface.
The standard application for this mode is a multi-pump system with up to 8 pumps, each
fitted with a HYDROVAR MASTER Inverter or a combination of MASTER and BASIC Inverters.
Advantages

Actuator: (For SINGLE pump operation only!)
The actuator mode has to be used if a fixed speed setting is required or an external speed
signal is connected and the HYDROVAR is just used like a standard VFD.
In this case, the internal controller is shut off, so the HYDROVAR does not control the set
value but runs the connected motor at a frequency proportional to the input signal which
is connected to the analogue inputs or is set directly on the HYDROVAR.

The following parameters in Submenu 200 do have different factory settings depending on
the power rating. Therefore the factory setting shown in the document may differ to the
factory settings of the unit itself. All factory settings shown in the document are related to
power ratings up to 4kW whereas higher power ratings use other settings.

Ramp settings:
• Time settings of the ramps influence the control of the pump.
• The fast ramps 1 and 2 are determined by the type (power) of the HYDROVAR and the
type of the pump.
Default = 4 sec.; depending on the power of the HYDROVAR they should be increased
up to 15s for higher power ratings to avoid overload error.
,
• The slow ramps 3 and 4 determine the regulation speed of the internal HYDROVAR
controller for small devices or constant consumption and depend on the system, which
has to be controlled. (Default = 70 sec.)
• The Ramps FminA and FminD are used for a start-up and shut off. These parameters
allow fast acceleration and deceleration and especially should be used for applications
where pumps or other devices are powered, which shouldn’t work below a determined
frequency for a certain time. (to prevent damages or decrease abrasion)
• Excessively fast running up time may cause an error (OVERLOAD) during the HYDROVAR
starts up.
• Excessively slow running up time may cause a drop of the outgoing pressure during
operation.

0265 BOOST
5 %
Setting of the motor starting voltage in % of

Possible settings: 0 – 25% of the input voltage
This parameter determines the characteristics of the voltage/frequency curve.
In particular, it refers to the voltage increase during the motor starting stage as a
percentage of the nominal voltage. Take care that settings are kept as low as possible so
that the motor does not become thermally overloaded at lower frequencies.
If the boost is set too low, a failure (OVERLOAD) may occur because the starting-current is

0500 SUBMENU
SEQUENCE CNTR.
Using the parameters of this submenu, all necessary settings can be done for running a
multi-pump system (even in cascade relay and cascade serial / synchron mode).
Application Example:
1) Lead pump reaches its ENABLE FREQUENCY [0515]
2) Actual value falls and reaches the cut in-value of the 1
st
assist pump
Cut in-value = REQUIRED VALUE [02] – ACT. VAL. DEC. [0510]
Î the 1st assist pump is switched on automatically
3) After the start up the new required value is calculated in the following way:
NEW REQUIRED VALUE = REQ.VAL. [02] – ACT.VAL.DEC [0510] + ACT.VAL.INC. [0505].
The new required value is shown in the main menu as parameter EFF.REQ.VAL. [03].
Calculations of the new required value for multi pump applications:
k ... number of active pumps (k >1)
p = p
+ (k-1)*[lift value – fall value]
set
• Lift value = Fall value ⇒Pressure constant independent how many pumps are in
operation
• Lift value > Fall value ⇒ Pressure rises when assist pump switches on
• Lift value < Fall value ⇒ Pressure falls when assist pump switches on
S

The following 3 parameters are responsible for starting the assist pumps and to calculate
the new required value as well.

enable frequency for the next power unit
0515
0515 ENABLE FRQ
48.0 Hz
Possible settings: 0.0 – 70.0 Hz
Using this parameter the desired release frequency for the following pumps can be
selected. If a pump in the system reaches this frequency and the system pressure drops
below the REQUIRED VALUE [02] - ACTUAL VALUE DECREASE [0510], the next pump is
started.
S
0520
0520 ENABLE DLY
5 sec
Enable delay time (for cascade relay only!)
Possible settings: 0 – 100 sec
If the conditions for starting an assist pump are fulfilled, the fix speed pump will start after
this selected time.
S
0525
0525 SW DELAY
5 sec
Switch delay (for cascade relay only!)
Possible settings: 0 – 100 sec
Delay time between two switching actions of the fix speed pump.
That parameter prevents the system against repeated switching actions caused by the
variation of the consumption.
0530
0530 DISABLE FRQ
30 Hz
Disable frequency (for cascade relay only!)
Possible settings: 0.0 – 120.0 Hz
The frequency to switch off the fixed speed pumps in cascade relay- mode can be set by
this parameter.
78
S
If the MASTER Inverter goes below that frequency for longer than the pre-selected DISABLE
DLY [0535] and the system pressure is higher than the EFFECTIVE REQ. VALUE [03]
(REQUIRED VALUE [02] + ACTUAL VAL. INC [0505]), the first assist pump stops.
S
0535
0535 DISABLE DLY
5 sec
Disable delay time (for cascade relay only!)
Possible settings: 0 – 100 sec
Delay time before switching off the assist up pumps in cascade relay mode.
S
0540
0540 DROP FRQ
42 Hz
Drop frequency (for cascade relay only!)
Possible settings: 0.0 – 70.0 Hz
This parameter is used to prevent the system from pressure hammers. Before a following
pump starts up, the MASTER Inverter will drop to the selected frequency. If the DROP
FREQUENCY is reached, the follow-up-pump gets released and the MASTER Inverter will
continue with normal operation.
S
0545
0545 OVERVALUE
OFF
Overvalue (for cascade relay only!)
Possible settings: OFF – pre selected sensor range
If this selected value is reached, an immediate shut-off of the follow-up-pumps is executed.
E.g. REQUIRED VALUE [02]: 5.00 bar
OVERVALUE [0545]: 7.50 bar
If three pumps are running (1 MASTER Inverter + 2 follow-up-pumps) and a system
pressure of 7.50 bar is reached, one after another assist pump is switched off.
This parameter prevents the system against overpressure in case the HYDROVAR has been
parameterized incorrectly.
0550
0550 OVERVAL DLY
0 sec
Overvalue delay (for cascade relay only!)
Possible settings: 0.0 – 10.0 sec
Delay time to switch off an assist pump in case the actual value exceeds the
OVERVALUE [0545] limit.
79
S S G G
Switch interval for cyclic changeover
(for cascade serial / synchron only!)
S
0555
0555 SWITCH INTV
24 hours
Possible settings: 0 – 250 hours
This parameter allows an automatic change over of the MASTER pump and the assist
pumps, in order to provide even wear and achieve even operating hours of the pumps.
The switch interval is used for HYDROVAR MASTER Inverters only (connected via the RS-485
interface) by using operation mode Cascade Serial or Cascade Synchron.
Synchronous Control
By using the synchronous control mode all pumps in the system maintain the set
pressure by running at the same frequency.
The 2nd pump starts, when the 1st pump reaches the ENABLE FRQ. [0515] and the system
pressure drops below ACTU.VAL.DEC. [0510] -> both pumps will run synchronously.
The assist pump will stop, when the frequency drops below the set SYNCHR. LIMIT
[0560]. This function creates a hysteresis effect which prevents the assist pump against a
frequent on/off operation.
To find out the right setting:
• Start the first pump in JOG Mode [62]; Increase the frequency till you reach the required
value. Check the frequency ( = f0 ) at zero consumption
• Set the synchronous limit (f
+ 2..3 Hz)
0
• Set the synchronous window between 1 or 2 Hz
(depending on the pump curve and set point).
Frequency limit for synchronous control
0560
0560 SYNCHR. LIM.
0.0 Hz
Possible settings: 0 .0 Hz - Max. frequency
This parameter is used for switching off the first assist pump in synchronous mode. So if
the frequency of both pumps drops below this selected value, the first assist pump
stops.
G
0565
0565 SYNCHR. WND.
2.0 Hz
Frequency window for synchronous control
Possible settings: 0.0 – 10 Hz
Frequency limit for switching off the next assist pump.
E.g. switching off the 3rd pump:
All 3 pumps are running at a frequency < SYNCHR. LIM. [0560] + SYNCHR. WIN. [0565]
or: switching off the 4th pump:
All 4 pumps are running at a frequency < SYNCHR. LIM. [0560] + 2x SYNCHR. WIN. [0565]

This parameter determines the alternation order when MASTER and BASIC Inverters are
used within one system. In such a case you have to select if either the MASTER or the BASIC
Inverters should be switched on first.
ON- all MASTER Inverters in the system are released (unless it is stopped by a failure or
manually) before the first BASIC Inverter gets released.
For example: Address 1-3.......MASTER Inverters

after the 5th restart, the HYDROVAR will shut off and the appropriate error message is
shown.
The internal counter of the automatic error reset is decreased by 1 after each operating
hour, so if an error could be reset after 3 restarts, there are 3 further restarts possible after
one hour, 4 after two hours and 5 automatic restarts after 3 operating hours.
A manual reset can be done by switching an external ON/OFF (X3/7-8) contactor.
Not each error can be reset automatically.

Constant pressure system with required value of 5 bar.
Additionally a flow sensor is connected to the Offset input.
Parameter [907] - Offset Range = 160 (max. range of flow sensor = 16m³/h)
System requirement 1:
5 bar constant pressure while the flow rate is between 5m³/h and 12m³/h.
Below the 5 m³/h the pressure should be decreased with the limitation to have max. 2,5 bar
at a flow rate of 2m³/h.

11 Failure messages
If the HYDROVAR is stopped by an error (warning), the HYDROVAR as well as
the motor remain under voltage.
Before any work is carried out on the electrical or mechanical part of the
system, the HYDROVAR must be disconnected from power supply.
Difference between warnings and errors:
•Warnings are shown on the display and even by the red failure led. If a warning is
active and the cause is not remedied within 20 seconds an error will be shown and the
HYDROVAR stops.
However it is possible that the HYDROVAR keeps running (depends to the different
warnings).
•Errors are indicated on the HYDROVAR display and by the red failure LED placed on
the control panel. In case of an error the connected motor is stopped immediately. All
errors are shown in plain text and saved in the error memory including date and time
when the failure appeared.
The following information describes each error which can occur on the HYDROVAR (even
on the MASTER /SINGLE and the BASIC Inverter). Additionally the possible
countermeasures to reset these errors are described.
• Please note that an automatic error-reset can be activated in SUBMENU ERRORS to
reset an occurred failure automatically for 5 times. For more information about this
function see parameter ERROR-RESET [0615].
• All error signals and warnings can be indicated via the two status-relays on
terminals X5/1-2-3 or X5/4-5-6 depending on the configuration.

To reset the CODE ERROR and the OVERCURRENT ERROR , the power
supply has to be cut > 60 seconds.
Reset:
A reset of all other errors can be done by open/close the START/STOP_PTC
input (X1/PTC) on the power unit.
If the BASIC Inverter is used in combination with a MASTER Inverter, each failure can be
indicated on the MASTER Inverter too and will be saved in the failure memory including
date and time when the failure appeared.
Indication on the MASTER Inverter:
ERR. BASIC Addr. X
For detailed failure information on the specific unit,
SUBMENU STATUS [20] has to be entered and the affected device has to
be selected with it’s pump address!
If a MASTER Inverter is used in such a system, the errors which occurred on the BASIC
Inverter can be reset by the MASTER without interfere the operation of the other
HYDROVAR units in the system (also valid for automatic Error-reset).

Maintenance
The HYDROVAR does not require any special maintenance.
However, the cooling fan and the vents should be freeof dust. Also the temperature
around the unit should be checked from time to time.
All modifications must be done by qualified personnel! For mounting and repairs at the
HYDROVAR, qualified service technicians are available.
Demounting:
The HYDROVAR must be disconnected from the power supply before any work can be
carried out. Consider the pump- and motor-instruction.
Please wear your personal protection equipment.
For further information, please ask your distributor!
