ACTIVE DRIVER
INTRODUCTION
The DAB ACTIVE DRIVER is an innovative integrated pump ontrol system that utilizes a
variable frequen y drive ontroller (VFD) to provide CONSTANT PRESSUE regardless of the
demand flow requirements.
>Applications

> electing the Correct Pump.
It is import ant to hoose the orre t pump when utilizing the ACTVE DRIVER as a onstant
pressure ontrol devi e. It is important that the pump is sele ted to provide the maximum
potential flow at the desired demand pressure.
>>For Example,
If a duty point of 100lpm at 350kPa is required,
then this should be assumed as the maximum
required duty of the pump.
An ideal sele tion for this would be the DAB
KVCX35/120, as it will provide the flow
required at around 380kPa and the required
pressure at a maximum flow of 115lpm.
As the ACTIVE DRIVER is ontrolled by required
pressure, inputting a set point of 350kPa will
mean that the pump will normally run at lower
frequen y (speed), and less likely to avitate.
>Installing the ACTIVE
DRIVER
The ACTIVE DRIVER would normally be
installed in an upright position, on the
dis harge side, above the main body of water
in the pump.
A he k valve should be installed inlet to the ontroller or in the su tion port of the pump.
Failure to install a he k valve will result in the unit y ling.
The ACTIVE DRIVER is pressure sensitive and a suitable sized ENERGY SAVER should be
installed on the dis harge side of the ontroller. The pre- harge should be set to be slightly
lower (15kPa min) that the restart point set in the ontroller, whi h is fa tory set at 0.5 Bar
(50kPa) below the set point.
The AD M/T 1.0, AD M/T 2.2, AD T/T3.0 and AD T/T 5.5 an be inter onne ted with up to three
units (total) operating as one system, allowing for alternating starts and various inputs and
outputs for integrated operation.
If using the AD M/M 1.1, retain the PLUG and PLAY fly lead supplied with the pump as it will be
helpful in priming the pump before attempting to set the ACTIVE DRIVER.
This allows you to use the pump in a manual mode while priming is ompleted.

Programming
The DAB ACTIVE DRIVER is easy to program, it is essential that key information about the
DUTY POINT and PUMP are know before attempting to program the unit.
>E ENTIAL INFORMATION
1. DUTY POINT (Pressure)
2. Rated Current of Pump (not required for AD M/M 1.1)
3. Pump Curve
>>Duty Point is the required pressure the system is required to run at. This is inputted in
(Bar).
>>The rated urrent of the pump an be lo ated on the omplian e plate atta hed to the
pump, or is listed in the DAB Fa tory atalogue in the ELECTRICAL DATA table.
This is only relevant when using three phase pumps.
>>The Pump Curve is essential to ensure that the duty point is a hievable with the pump
sele ted.
The settings should be re orded in the ACTIVE DRIVER manual for later referen e.
It is essential to READ THE MANUAL before attempting to operate the ACTIVE DRIVER.

Programming
The ACTIVE DRIVER has a simple programming logi
and is easy to program.
There is a two digit illuminated LCD s reen and four
input buttons.
By pressing and holding these buttons in sequen e will
allow the programmer to a ess different parts of the
programming matrix.
The display also shows information as to the status of
the pump, and faults if present.
>>Normal Display Indications
During normal operation the following indi ation will be
present.
ZF = Zero Flow & General Reset (appears on startup and when leaving reset)
Go = Pump Operating
b = Pump waiting (Standby)
bL = No Flow
A full list of display indi ations is listed at the ba k of this guide.
>>Displays of the Main Values
It is also possible to a ess operational information of the system by pressing the [mode] key,
these indi ations are,
Fr = Displays the urrent frequen y (speed) of the pump

Programming > Pump tart Up
On e you have installed the ACTIVE DRIVER and the pump is primed and ready to start, these
are the simple steps to programming the ontroller.
After swit hing the power supply on, the following indi ation should be present,
ZF = Zero Flow & General Reset
Shortly after, the ACTIVE DRIVER should swit h to the following ondition and the pump
should start.
Go = Pump Operating
It should then stop after demand has eased and now display,
b = Pump Waiting (Standby)
The pump is now idle and waiting for demand pressure to drop in order to start.
Programming > Inputting Data
The ACTIVE DRIVER is pre programmed and will operate the pump with out any additional
programming, but for most effi ient operation, settable parameters are offered to optimal
performan e of the system.
The AD M/T and AD T/T will need information about the pump to be inputted before safe
operation an begin.
The settable parameters are as follows,
P > ET POINT , is the desired operating pressure of the system.
To a ess this setting, press [mode] and [set] simultaneously for two se onds, the
display should indi ate
