System Design
Note
Systems MUST be designed by qualified technicians only.
The following diagrams show typical single pump and multi-pump systems using the AQUAVAR Model 56 Controller.
Connection can be made directly to a water supply or water can be drawn from a supply tank or well. In the case of
supply tanks and wells, level switches, (item 10) can be used to shut down the pumps when water is low. In the
direct connection, a pressure switch on the suction side (item 8) can be used.

A diaphragm pressure tank is used on the discharge side of the pump or pumps to maintain pressure in the line when
there is no demand. This will keep the pumps from continuing to run. With the AQUAVAR Model 56 Controller, it is not
necessary to have a large tank for supply purposes. In selecting a tank, make sure it can withstand system pressure.
The tank should have a capacity of about 10% of the maximum single pump flow rate in gpm. Pre-charge the tank to
the following:

ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS HAVE BEEN REVIEWED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN AND MEET
ALL APPLICABLE STATE AND LOCAL REQUIREMENTS.
Instructions
1) Check all wiring. All motors used with the
AQUA V AR Model 56 Controller are three
phase TEFC (a wall mounted version permits
the use of other enclosures). Y ou will need to
check the direction of rotation of the motor
shaft. If you have followed all of the previous
steps carefully, you should now be ready to
apply power to the AQUA V AR Model 56
Controller unit.
2) Close discharge valve. Make sure the
discharge valve is closed. Apply power to the
AQUA V AR Model 56 Controller.
3) The next step is to apply power to the AQUA V AR
Model 56 Controller and check for proper rotation
of the motor. The first start up of the AQUAV AR
Model 56 Controller should be done with the
external programming device. If you operate the
AQUA V AR Model 56 Controller without the
programming device, the following parameters
have to be set in the submenu (see operation in
the main menu).

the new required pressure is stored.
6) The pump can only be STARTED with the
button or STOPPED with the button.
Both buttons are on the front plate of the
AQUA VAR Model 56 Controller.
If the direction of rotation was not correct,
remove all power from the AQUA VAR Model 56
Controller and wait 5 minutes. Open the motor

II. Single Pump – P ump Protection (Flowchart #2)
The AQUA V AR Model 56 Controller has the ability to protect the pump by shutting it off in low/no suction or
run out conditions.
Note
Low/no suction protection depends on the installation of a suction line pressure switch, or float switch
for a tank. This switch is connected to the AQUA VAR Model 56 Controller as described earlier in the
Electrical Installation section. The cut off setting for this switch should be the maximum NPSH required
by the pump.

Programming
To set run out protection:
Note
Run out protection occurs if the pump is running at full speed, and the set pressure cannot be
recorded after a set period of time. To set run out protection you need to enter the amount of
pressure drop and the time delay.

III. Single Pump – System Curve Compensation (Flowchart #3)
The AQUA V AR Model 56 Controller can
automatically compensate for system friction losses
due to increased flow . Tables are available in most
pump catalogs (including the G&L Pumps catalog)
indicating the amount of friction loss that can be
expected in various sizes of pumps at different flow
rates. Use these tables to determine the friction
loss for the pipe size you are using at your
maximum flow rate.
Diagram 8 shows a typical system curve. The system
pressure set point is shown at shut-off and the
pressure increase is shown for increasing flow .
Calculate the pressure increase required to
overcome friction loss at maximum flow as a
percent of the set point.
For example, if your required system pressure is
30 psi and it takes an additional 3 psi for friction
loss at maximum flow , the percent increase is 10%.

IV. Circulator Applications
On circulator pumps, the system curve can be automatically tracked through the use of a differential pressure
transducer. This pressure transducer reads the outgoing discharge pressure and the incoming return pressure
and compensates for differences in pressure as demand and speed increase. Programming is the same as just
covered for the single transducer version. Data on the differential pressure transducer can be found in
Appendix A.
V.Multiple Pump Constant Pressure System Curve Compensation
(Flowchart #4)
When two, three or four AQUA V AR Model 56 Controller controlled pumps are connected in a system, they
can be programmed to work together to maintain system pressure up to the maximum flow rate of all the
pumps combined. As the first pump reaches its maximum speed and flow , the second pump will
automatically turn on (and so on). In addition, the sequence of the pump that will run first (lead pump) can be
automatically varied to reduce premature wear on any one pump in the system.
1) Refer to the section “The Main Menu - Setting One Pump Constant Pressure”. Follow the step
then continue below .

Generally a slight pressure drop is allowed on the
first pump before the next is started. This allows for
brief system fluctuations without pump cycling. Once
the next pump starts, however, you will want the
system to resume its normal set pressure.

6) To do this, enter the amount of pressure drop
you will allow before the next pump starts.
Diagram 9 shows the pressure drop and
increase.
7) To increase the pressure even more to
compensate for system loss at higher flows,
enter the total of the system drop allowed
before next pump starts and the increased
pressure desired.
For example, if the pressure drop allowed is 5 psi
before the next pump starts, and the increased
pressure needed to compensate for system losses is
3 psi, you would enter 5 + 3, or 8 psi to
compensate for both system pressure drop and
compensation requirements.
➀ If increase = decrease, pressure stays constant
➁ If increase > decrease, pressure rises with lag pump
➂ If increase < decrease, pressure falls with lag pump
Diagram 9
Note
This value is cumulative. An extra 3 psi will be added to the total system pressure with each
additional pump which turns on. For example, if the initial system pressure was 50 psi, pump
two would create 53 psi, pump three would create 56 psi, and pump four would create 59 psi system
pressure.

Error Signals
Low W ater Remedy: Check suction pressure
If suction pressure is normal the unit restarts
itself. If there is no suction pressure switch
(e.g. circulating systems), bridge terminals
X2/6 and X2/7. (Jumper wire if not used.)
Overheating – Motor Possible causes:
Insufficient cooling ambient temperature is too
high, motor overloaded. After the cause has
been remedied, the malfunction has to be reset
by cutting off the power supply for > 30 seconds.
Overvoltage Possible cause: Check main
supply, supply voltage too high, peak voltage due
to switching heavy loads on the network,
or RAMP 2 is too fast. Find the cause and take
countermeasures (e.g. line filter, RC-elements).
Disconnect the power supply for > 30 seconds.

Undervoltage Possible cause: Check main
supply, faulty fuse or out of phase.
Overload Possible causes: false data settings or the
pump is working at a capacity, excessive amp draw
significantly in excess of its performance data.

Possible causes: insufficient cooling, ambient
temperature too high or motor overload. After
remedy, cut off power for > 30 seconds

Pressure T ransducer
The sensor of this transducer is a piezoresistive silicon pressure sensor, mounted on a tape (TAP)
floating freely in an oil chamber. The pressure is transferred to the sensor by a separating nickel
diaphragm in the oil chamber.
