1. Pressing the reset button before the three minute period expires will cause the unit to recalibrate to the motor load present at the time the reset button is pressed the second time TROUBLE SHOOTING DURING INSTALLATION SYMPTOM POSSIBLE CAUSE SOLUTION Unit Appears No Power to Unit Check wiring Power supply voltage should be applied Dead No Lights to the LI and L2 terminals of the Pumptec Plus In some installations the pressure switch or other control device is wired to the input of the PUMPTEC PLUS Make sure this switch is closed Flashing Unit Needs to Be Pumptec Plus is calibrated at the factory so that it will Yellow Light Calibrated overload on most pump systems when the unit is first installed This overload condition is a reminder that the Pumptec Plus unit requires calibration before use See Step 7 of the installation instructions Miscalibrated Pumptec Plus should be calibrated on a fully recovered well with maximum water flow Flow restrictors are not recommended Flashing Two Wire Motor Step C of the calibration instructions indicates that a flashing Yellow Light green light condition will occur 2 to 3 seconds after taking During Calibration the Snapshot of the motor load On some two wire motors the yellow light will flash instead of the green light Press and release the reset button The green should start flashing Flashing Power During the installation of Pumptec Plus power may be Red and Interr2. Before the Pumptec Plus unit is ready for use it MUST BE CALIBRATED The calibration procedure is quick and as simple as taking a snapshot Calibration may be performed as many times as desired by following steps A B and C below A Press and hold in the reset button on the bottom of the Pumptec Plus enclosure until the green yellow and red lights blink alternately This should take approximately 10 seconds You will hear the Pumptec Plus contactor engage and the motor should start Release the reset button Steps B and C must be completed within three minutes or the calibration procedure will be aborted Verify that the pump system is running normally i e the system is pumping water and the motor current is normal Try to achieve maximum water flow rate Calibration on a fully recovered well is recommended Briefly press the reset switch again and then release it You have just taken a Snapshot of the motor load All indicator lights will go off After 2 to 3 seconds the green light will start flashing indicating the system is running normally and calibration is complete Over underload trips will occur at 125 and 75 of the Snapshot load NOTE CONTINUOUS MEMORY HOLDS CALIBRATION SNAPSHOT EVEN IF POWER IS ABSENT CAUTION Pumptec Plus should only be calibrated by qualified service personnel Calibration on a faulty pump system will not provide protection OPERATION Under normal operating conditions
3. Pumptec Plus requires no special attention The power line voltage and motor power draw are continuously measured If a fault condition is detected an indication is given by a light on the front panel and the motor is disconnected from the power line Pumptec Plus measures the actual motor power watts not motor amps or power factor The motor power draw at the moment of calibration is permanently memorized by Pumptec Plus If the motor power draw differs from the memorized calibration power by more than 25 Pumptec Plus will turn off the pump motor It is very important to make sure the pump system is running normally during the calibration process There are three indicator lights A B and C visible through the front cover Each light is a different color and each has a special meaning Also on the bottom of the unit enclosure is a reset button D The purpose of each light and the operation of the reset button are described on page 5 Franklin Electric PUMP PROTECTION SYSTEM a Franklin Electric ower A GREEN LIGHT Flashing Overload LOAD fo by Solid Under Voltage Flashing Over Voltage LOAD amp VOLTAGE Flashing Rapid Cycling VOLTAGE C RED LIGHT D RESET BUTTON B YELLOW LIGHT OPERATION continued POWER a POWER GREEN LIGHT A e The green light A indicates that the status of the pump system is normal A SOLID GREEN LIGHT indicates that Pumptec Plus has power and the
