3. Direction of rotation - This MUST be tested prior
to Pumpset operation by using a Phase
Sequence Indicator at the Pump Controller.
With Pumpset wiring at the Junction Box in the
order: BLACK (1), RED (2), ORANGE (3), the
power supply phase sequence must be a, b, c. (or
R,S,T.) (CLOCKWISE)
Do not run Pumpset in
reverse. Severe internal
damage to the Pumpset may result.
4.Ensure supply voltage is correct and that all
relevant electrical components are compliant &
adequate for the application.
Do not run Pumpset dry.
Severe internal damage
to the Pumpset will result, voiding Warranty.
5. Valves should be in the following positions:
(see Appendix A –P&ID for locations)
Pump Housing Inlet Valve.........................OPEN
PPVIsolation Valve.................................OPEN
Valves to both sides of DPS......................OPEN
Valves to both Pressure Gauges...............OPEN
Discharge Line Valve/s..............................OPEN
Vapour/Bypass Return Line Valve/s ........OPEN
Do not start Pumpset
against closed discharge
valve or with Pump Housing Inlet Valve
closed or throttled.
6. Ensure that Pumpset is LPG liquid filled by
removing all vapour in an approved manner from
the Pumpset Discharge Riser.
7. Back off Bypass Valve Adjusting Screw fully i.e.
minimum differential pressure.
8. Ensure DPS bypass time in PLC is set to required
minimum delay time for the site (See Section
5.3.2)
9. Ensure ‘Run-On’ feature is enabled/disabled as
required for the site (See Section 5.3.3)
Exceeding 20 starts per
hour OR re-starting in
less than 2 minutes after the last start may
result in severe and permanent internal
electrical damage to the motor.
10. Ensure Keyed ‘RUN-OFF-TEST’ Selector switch
on Pump Controller is ‘OFF’
11. Ensure circuit breaker (Q1) in Pump Controller is
‘OFF’.
12. Ensure MOL Current Cut-Out Selector is set to
FLA rating (see Appendix B or C) and MOL Reset
Selector is in automatic reset mode –position (A).
4.4 STARTUP PROCEDURE
A Pumpset Run Log is provided in Appendix E. Fill in
the startup section of the log as indicated below.
For commissioning and testing it may be advantageous
for two persons, with some means of communication,
one stationed at the Pump Controller and the other
stationed at or near the pumpset location.
1. Check readings on both pressure gauges. Note any
difference in static readings as this will have to be
taken into account when setting Bypass Valve.
Record vapour pressure in the commissioning
section of the Pumpset Run Log.
2. Connect amp meter to Pump Controller lead(s) T1,
T2 or T3 outside Hazardous Area
3. Activate power to Pump Controller.
4. Switch "ON" Q1 circuit breaker in Pump Controller.
5. Turn key switch to 'TEST' at Pump Controller.
This will start Pumpset. (If any aspect of the
Pumpset or pumping system does not function
properly, immediately turn the keyswitch to 'OFF'
and rectify the problem).
6. Check system functionality, Pumpset should
immediately begin to build differential pressure up
to approximately 500 - 600 kPa. (5 –6 Bar)
Record discharge pressure in the commissioning
section of the Pumpset Run Log.
7. Check that current reading is below FLA rating (See
Appendix B or C) on T1, T2, & T3.
Record T1, T2, & T3 current readings in the
commissioning section of the Pumpset Run Log.
8. Ensure that liquid is flowing through Bypass Valve.
This should be detectable audibly (by listening) or
by feeling the valve/pipework (by hand).
9. Screw in the Bypass Valve Adjusting Screw not
exceeding two turns per minute until a differential
pressure of 700 kPa (7 Bar) is achieved.
NOTE: During this procedure check current at
Pump Controller on T1, T2 & T3 (Must not exceed
Motor FLA rating - See Appendix B or C)
10. When 700 kPa (7 Bar) differential pressure is
reached, turn Pumpset off and leave off for
approximately 1 minute.
11. Restart Pumpset in 'TEST' mode. Note differential
pressure reading. This may be slightly different to
when first set (This is a normal characteristic of
Bypass Valve operation when first set in this
manner).
12. Reset differential pressure as required (do not
exceed 700kPa (7Bar) @ 50Hz at this stage).
Record discharge pressure and T1, T2, & T3
current readings in the commissioning section of
the Pumpset Run Log.
13. The Pumpset is now ready for automatic (dispenser
actuated) operation via terminals 1 and 2. Turn
keyswitch on Pump Controller to ‘RUN’ mode. The
Dispenser/Communication System will now initiate
the running of the Pumpset.
NOTE: Running-in Period - Due to the precision
manufacturing tolerances and the nature of the
sleeve bearing material, the Pumpset may need to
be run-in at 700kPa (7 Bar) for a period of time
before the maximum differential pressure setting of
the Bypass Valve may be reached.
14. After the run-in period, differential pressure can be
set to maximum (Do not exceed FLA rating of
Motor - refer Appendix B or C). This differential
pressure is dependent upon setting required by
end user. Record any changes to the discharge
pressure in the Pumpset Run Log.
Do not exceed full load
Amps on any leg of Motor.
15. After any Bypass Valve adjustment, tighten
adjusting screw locknut and wire in place for
security.
