ŸPress and Hold “Select Run Mode” button with Mode 3 selected to configure settings.
Page 12 7.0 Flex-Pro Mode 0 - Set Remote Start / Stop Used to remotely start and stop pump using a dry contact closure signal. When activated; CLOSE = START and OPEN = STOP. Set to NO = Remote Start / Stop is disabled Set to Yes = Remote Start / Stop is enabled Can be used with external foot pedal, PLC, contact closure or other similar external devices. Default setting = No (disabled) Step 1 Mode 0 0 Press and release STOP button Note: Mode cannot be changed while pump is in running.
Page 13 Flex-Pro 7.1 Mode 0 - Set TFD Sensitivity Flex-Pro pump is equipped with a Tube Failure Detection (TFD) system which is designed to stop pump in event pump tube should rupture and chemical enters pump head. This patented system is capable of detection presence of a large number of chemicals including Sodium Hypochlorite (chlorine), Hydrochloric (muriatic) Acid, Sodium Hydroxide, and many others.
Page 14 7.2 Flex-Pro Mode 0 - Set FVS (flow verification system) Flow verification sensor sold separately. Flow verification system is designed to stop pump in an event sensor does not detect flow during pump operation. Indicating an empty chemical tank, clogged injection fitting, loose tubing connection, etc. To allow pump to clear any gasses that may have accumulated over time, an alarm delay time value from 1 to 255 seconds must be programmed. Note: An alarm delay of 000 seconds disables FVS system.
Page 15 Flex-Pro 7.2 Mode 0 - Set FVS (flow verification system) - Continued Flow Verification Sensor is designed to give you two installation options. Sensor can be installed: ! Directly on pumphead of A2 pump, suction side. ! Anywhere on suction side of A2 pump. Wiring for sensor can be connected directly to an A2 pump. Pump will stop pumping if sensor detects no flow. A relay will then close allowing for remote alarm indication or initiation of a back-up injector pump.
Page 16 7.3 Flex-Pro Mode 0 - Set 4-20mA Output Available on certain models. Sends a configurable 4-20 mA signal, based on pump rotor speed, to an external device.
