This function allows users to prohibit the iQpump Controller from running by using a multi-function digital input set to
"Remote Drv Disbl" (72) in combination with a programmable on time (P4-25) and off time delay (P4-26).
The "Remote Drive Disable" input logic can be selected with parameter P4-24.
Function Operation
When the Remote Drive Disable (H1-0 = 72) input is active for the amount of time specified in P4-25 the drive will be
forced into a sleep-like state. Stopping method used is defined by b1-03 (Stopping Method Selection) setting.
If the iQpump Controller is running as part of a Memobus Network (multiplex system), it will be taken out and
considered unavailable to run.
Alarm "R-DNE-S" will be displayed, where S is the Terminal programmed for Remote Drive Disable (H1-0 = 72).
The iQpump Controller will restart and perform a pre-charge if needed when the Remote Drive Disable ( H1-0 = 72) is
inactive for the time specified in P4-26.
Note: When the drive run is disabled using this feature, the pre-charge function is reset and will run if necessary.

7 Suction Control via Constant Pressure w/Well Draw Down
7Suction Control via Constant Pressure w/Well Draw Down
Overview
This function enables the iQpump Controller to monitor suction pressure at the inlet of the pumps.
Note: This function is active when parameter P8-01 is set to 2 for Suction Control.
Packaged Booster Systems have a desired discharge pressure and a given suction pressure from the city water system or
from a suction tank. Such systems are often designed to handle a specific pressure and flow rate.
The suction pressure may have a wide range between high and low pressures. The suction pressure typically decreases
with increased fluid flow rate. In some instances, pump cavitation may occur if suction pressure falls below a certain
pressure level.
In addition low or negative suction pressure can lead to damage such as pipe collapse due to external forces acting on the
pipe.
The iQpump Controller will accept an analog suction transducer (Terminal A1) and can be programmed to trigger an
alarm or shutdown the system when the suction pressure falls outside of a normal operating range.The iQpump Controller
will automatically restart and return to normal operation once the suction pressure returns to a normal level.
When operating in multiplex mode, additional control can be programmed to de-stage any active pumps as a method to
try and reduce pump loading to prevent suction pressure from continuing to drop below the shut down level.
Function Description
The iQpump Controller will regulate outlet pressure of the pump system using the standard iQpump Controller features
when there is adequate suction pressure available at the inlet of the pumps and offers two options to respond to a drop in
suction pressure.
1. Regulate Outlet Pressure and Suction Pressure: (P8-03 > or = P8-04)
To regulate suction pressure set the suction pressure setpoint (P8-03) to a value greater or equal than the minimum
suction pressure (P8-04). In this mode the iQpump Controller will try to regulate the suction pressure based on the
programmed suction pressure setpoint (P8-03) level.
As the suction pressure decreases and approaches the suction pressure setpoint level (P8-03), the iQpump Controller
will slow down causing the outlet pressure and flow to decrease. When the suction pressure rises above the P8-05 level
for more than the P1-05 time, normal operation (outlet pressure regulation) will resume.
When the suction pressure drops below Minimum Suction Pressure (P8-04), for more than the Sleep Delay Time
(P2-03), the iQpump Controller will go to sleep.
Note: The Suction Control Minimum Speed parameter (P8-06) should be set to a high enough value that will ensure flow.
2. Regulate Outlet Pressure Only: (P8-03 < P8-04)
Set the suction pressure setpoint (P8-03) to a value smaller than the minimum suction pressure (P8-04) to regulate
outlet pressure.
This mode allows the iQpump Controller to maintain the outlet pressure setpoint using the standard iQpump Controller
features and go to sleep immediately when the suction pressure drops below the Minimum Suction Pressure (P8-04),
for more than the Sleep Delay Time (P2-03).
Normal operation (outlet pressure regulation) will resume when the suction pressure returns above the P8-05 level for
more than the P1-05 time.
7 Suction Control via Constant Pressure w/Well Draw Down
Duplex System Example
A pump system consisting of a duplex domestic pressure booster system using a pressured city supply averaging 40
Example:
Pump System Settings
• All pumps have the same flow rate and will alternate
• Lag Pump will track speed of lead pump
• All drives have individual discharge transducers rated 150 psi. Upon failure, system will look to network for feedback
information.
• Suction Transducer is rated 75 psi
• Below 40 psi city pressure the pump system will start to reduce speed until reaching 30 psi
• System Auto setpoint 85 psi, with a 5 psi start level.
Duplex System Example (Related Parameters)
- 60 psi. If city pressure starts to fall below 40 psi the pump system will start to slow down to reduce the chances of
pump cavitation. When suction pressure (city pressure) drops to 30 psi, the pump system will shut down (sleep) and
wait until city pressure returns, after which the system will automatically start and operate under normal condition.

7 Suction Control via Constant Pressure w/Well Draw Down
Enabling Suction Pressure Control
The suction pressure control selection is added to parameter P8-01 Water Level/Suction Pressure Selection. Follow these
steps for basic suction pressure control setup:
1. Enable suction control by setting parameter P8-01 to 2 (Suction Control).
2. Set suction transducer scaling (P8-03) in psi, scaling for analog input A1 (20 mA scale).
3. Set suction pressure setpoint (P8-03) in psi.
4. Select iQpump operation when a drop in suction pressure occurs:
a. Regulate outlet pressure only and go to sleep immediately when suction pressure falls below minimum suction
b. Regulate suction pressure when pressure is below suction pressure setpoint (P8-03) but above the minimum
suction pressure level (P8-04). Set suction pressure setpoint (P8-03) to above the minimum suction pressure level
(P8-04).
5. Set minimum suction pressure (P8-04) – Sleep Level for Suction Control.
6. Set suction pressure wake-up level (P8-05) – Wake-up level.
7. Set suction control minimum speed (P8-06) – Minimum Flow Speed.

Overview
A geothermal well facilitates heat transfer between the earth and a known system, such as space heating, dehydration,
electric power generation and food processing.
The geothermal function has the ability to regulate the speed of the iQpump Controller based on an external temperature
signal following a preset temperature-speed curve.

Geothermal Mode Setup Procedure
Follow these steps to setup the iQpump Controller in Geothermal Mode:
1. Set iQpump Controller parameters to factory default by setting parameter A1-03 to 2220 for "2 Wire" Initialization.
2. Disable PI Control by setting parameter b5-01 to 0 "Disabled"
3. Set multi-function analog input function H3-09 to 20 "Geothermal Temp"
4. Enable Geothermal Mode by setting parameter b1-01 to 5 "Geothermal Mode"
5. Set display monitor to selectable mode by setting o1-06 to 1 "3 Mon Selectable"
6. Select monitor display line #1 to display output frequency by setting o2-01 to 2 "Output Freq"
7. Select monitor display line #3 to display temperature by setting o1-08 to 80 "Geothermal Temp"
8. Set the temperature transducer range to properly scale the input. (P4-31 and P4-32)
9. Set the temperature-speed curve to the intended operation (P4-33 ~ P4-38)
<1>
"3330" for 3-Wire Initialization or "7770" for General Purpose Initialization can also be used.
When the iQpump Controller is set to operate in Geothermal Mode (b1-01 = 5), the drive's frequency reference is
determined by the analog input Geothermal Temperature (H3-09 = 20) and the setting of parameters P4-33 ~ P4-38. The
Geothermal characteristic can be programmed in normal or inverse operation.
Normal Operation: P4-33 < P4-34 and P4-35 < P4-36 < P4-37 < P4-38

9 Water Level/Suction Pressure Control in Memobus Multiplex
9Water Level/Suction Pressure Control in Memobus Multiplex
Overview
When using Water Level or Suction Pressure Control in a Memobus Multiplex system, (see parameter P8-01). The
iQpump Controller can be programmed to receive the Water Level or Suction Pressure information from another drive on
the network with a Water Level or Suction Pressure input.
Parameters
Parameter representation for this function depends on the setting of parameter P8-01.
Parameter Settings
P8-01 Water Level/Suction Pressure Selection
SettingDescription
0Disabled (factory default)
1Water Level Control (Previous version PRG: 0034 functionality for setting is "Enabled")
2Suction Pressure Control

1Analog -> Network, No Alarm
2Analog -> Network, Alarm
3Network Only

SettingDescription
0Analog Only (factory default)
1Analog -> Network, No Alarm
2Analog -> Network, Alarm
3Network Only
P9-50 = 0 (Analog Only)
This drive will transmit its Water Level/Suction Pressure signal to the network. If this signal is lost, the drive will not
switch to another signal on the network. The detection action in this mode is solely on parameter b5-12.
P9-50 = 1 (Ana->Net, No Alarm)
This drive will transmit its Water Level/Suction Pressure signal to the network when the analog input is healthy. If this
signal is lost, the drive will switch to another signal on the network if available. If there are no available network signals,
then this drive will act according to the setting of parameter b5-12 (when = 1 or 2).
Note: Setting parameter b5-12 to 0 will disable analog feedback detection and will prevent the iQpump Controller from switching to the
Network Water Level/Suction Pressure.
P9-50 = 2 (Ana->Net, Alarm)
This drive will transmit its Water Level / Suction Pressure signal to the network when the analog input is healthy. If this
signal is lost, the drive will switch to another signal on the network if available. An alarm will be displayed indicating that
the analog signal has been lost and that the signal is coming from the network. If there are no available network signals,
then this drive will act according to the setting of parameter b5-12 (when = 1 or 2).
Note: Setting parameter b5-12 to 0 will disable analog feedback detection and will prevent the iQpump Controller from switching to the
9 Water Level/Suction Pressure Control in Memobus Multiplex
P9-50 = 3 (Network Only)
The drive will always use a valid network Water Level / Suction Pressure signal. If there are no available network signals,
the drive will act according to the setting of b5-12 with the following differences:
Setting b5-12 to 1: Instead of an alarm, Network P8- Lost message is displayed.
Setting b5-12 to 2: Instead of a fault, Network P8- Lost message is displayed. In this condition the iQpump
Controller no longer accepts iQpump Controller Network run commands and the stopping method is fixed to coast-tostop.

SettingDescription
0Disabled
1Alarm
2Fault (factory default)
Any drive with b5-12 set to 0 (Disabled) and P9-50 ≠ 3 will effectively have no Terminal A1 signal loss detection and
will continuously send the Water Level/Suction Pressure to the iQpump Controller Network regardless of a faulty or an
invalid signal.
When b5-12 set to 2 (Fault) and P9-02 = 3, iQpump Controller will display a feedback loss alarm instead of a fault when
one of the following conditions active:
1. The iQpump Controller is in Hand Mode
2. There is no Lead iQpump Controller on the network
3. The iQpump Controller is not in Auto Mode
Minimum Water Level or Suction Pressure Detection Operation
In case of a minimum water level or suction pressure, the lead iQpump Controller will de-stage when one or more Lag
iQpump Controllers are present, otherwise the lead iQpump Controller will go to sleep.
Note: Setting parameter b5-12 to 0 will disable analog feedback detection and will prevent the iQpump Controller from switching to the
Network Water Level/Suction Pressure.

9 Water Level/Suction Pressure Control in Memobus Multiplex
P2-03 Sleep Delay Time
Sets delay time when water level or suction pressure signal falls below the minimum level programmed (P8-04).
RangeDescription
Network Multiplex Mode: Water Level Control (P8-01 = 1): Parameter specifies the time delay before
the lead drive de-stages when the water level (U1-98) falls below the Minimum Water Level (P8-04).
Network Multiplex Mode: Suction Control (P8-01 = 2): Parameter specifies the time delay before the
0 - 3600 sec
Default: 5 sec
lead drive de-stages when the suction pressure (U1-98) falls below the Minimum Suction Pressure (P8-
04).
Contactor Multiplex Mode (P1-01 =1 or 2): There are two contactor multiplex modes, one for Water
Level and another for Suction. Contactors programmed for Multiplex (H2- = 40 and 41) will open
one by one when the Water Level (U1-98) is below the Minimum Water Level (P8-04) for the time set in
the Sleep Delay Time (P2-03).
IMPORTANT: Staging Restriction when in Water Level/Suction Pressure Control.
• When P1-01 = 3 (Memobus Network) and the iQpump Controller’s PI output is being influenced by the Water Level/
Suction Pressure Control, pump system staging is disabled.
• When P1-01 = 1 or 2 (Multiplex system) and the iQpump Controller’s PI output is being influenced by the Water Level/
Suction Pressure Control, Multi-function output contacts (H2- = 40 and 41) are prohibited from closing.

Terminal A1
Cause: Defective or broken analog input source.
Countermeasure: Check to ensure the Water Level or Suction Pressure source is installed and working
properly. If no signal is present, set P9-50 = 3 to have it always read from another drive's network Water
Level or Suction Pressure.
Network source for Water Level or Suction Control Pressure is lost.
Cause: Valid analog source for Water Level or Suction Control Pressure can not be found on the network.
Countermeasure: Check the source on drives configured as P9-50 ≠ 3.
Cause: Terminal A1 is assigned to more than one of the following functions.
• Frequency Reference (b1-01 = 1)
• Dual Zone PI is enabled (b5-01 = 2)
• Flow Meter Enabled (P6-01 > 0)*
• Water Level/Suction Pressure Control Enabled (P8-01>0)*
• Hand Mode Ref Term A1 (P5-01 = 0)
Note: An OPE13 error will not be generated if b1-01 = 1 and P5-01 = 0, and none of the other conditions
listed above apply.
*When P1-01 = 3 (Memobus), a setting of P6-01 > 0 and P8-01 > 0 is allowed only if P9-40 = 1 or
P9-50 = 3.
Countermeasure: Reprogram b1-01, b5-01, P6-01, or P8-01.
Note: The OPE13 fault is modified in drive software version PRG:0035. Previous software versions have
different functionality.
Certain multiplex pump systems require a common pump speed for all running pumps. To allow for this operation, a new
selection "Follow Lead Spd" is added to parameter P9-05.
Function Description

Note: The rate at which the Lag drives follow the Lead drive's output speed is dependent on the communication speed of the iQpump
Controller network (H5-02), the maximum number of iQpump Controllers on the network (P9-25) and the current number of
iQpump Controllers online.
Fixed Speed (factory default)
Runs at the P9-06 setting after the P9-07 time expires.
PI Regulation.
Uses PI to determine speed.
Turn Off
The iQpump Controller stops running when it switches to a lag drive after P9-07 time expires.
Follow Lead Spd
The iQpump Controller follows the speed of the active Lead drive. Use P9-30 gain and P9-31 bias setting
to adjust reference signal.
Display Message for Follow Lead Speed Operation:
When the iQpump Controller is operating in Auto Mode, Lag operation and the Follow Lead Speed function is active
(P9-05 = 3) then the display will show the actual frequency reference in Hz instead of the selected system units.
