switched) which protect against overheating.
Some also have moisture sensors indicating water in the pump.
DANGER
Electric shock
Death or serious personal injury
‐In case of an insulation fault, the fault current may be
a pulsating DC. Observe national legislation about re-
quirements for and selection of Residual Current De-
vice (RCD) when installing the product.
WARNING
Electric shock
Death or serious personal injury
‐Switch off the power supply before making any electri-
cal connections.Make sure that the power supply can-
not be switched on accidentally.
‐Remember to indicate where the main switch is loca-
ted by placing a label or similar marking on the control
unit.
‐Make sure that the voltage between the phase and
neutral does not exceed 250 VAC.
‐Electrical connections must be carried out according to
the wiring diagrams.
Do not add additional components other than those illus-
trated on the wiring diagram. Do not use unused pin holes
for other connections.
All cable glands and plugs must be mounted after the in-
stallation is completed.
If the gaskets are not pre-mounted on the cable glands,
mount them on the cable glands before the control unit is
mounted on the wall.
For the PTC connection, do not connect the third wire
(common wire) in the control unit. It must be isolated with
a cable-end cap.
Take into account the total leakage current of all the electrical
equipment in the installation.
1. Check that the supply voltage and frequency correspond to the
values stated on the nameplate.
2. Cut the power supply and pump cables as short as possible.
3. Before switching the power on, check all voltages with a
multimeter and make sure that the voltage between neutral and
each phase does not exceed 250 VAC.
4. Connect the power cables and pump cables according to the
relevant electrical diagram, including the cables from the motor
temperature and moisture sensor, if any. Tighten the terminal
screws to the correct torque. See the table below.
• All wires must be secured inside the cabinet using
cable ties.
• The wires must not cross the safety barriers be-
tween the connectors.
• All cable glands must be mounted and plug-
ged, even if they are not in use, to ensure the cor-
rect IP protection level.
Remember to remove the jumper from the PTC terminal if you
are connecting cables from the temperature sensor to the PTC
terminals.

5. In case there is only a PTC sensor present in the pump, the two
wires from the PTC sensor have to be connected directly to the
PTC terminals.
6. In cases where PTC and moisture sensors are present, you end
up with three wires: a PTC wire, a moisture sensor wire and a
common wire. Connect only the PTC wire and the moisture
sensor wire. The common wire must be isolated.In Grundfos GO
Remote, you must select that both the PTC wire and
the moisture sensor wire are connected, and select a cool-down
time for the thermal protection.

3.7 Testing the product
When you have made all the electrical installations and completed
the startup wizard, you can test the system.
For dewatering applications:
• Ensure the pit is filled with water and check that the pump starts
automatically at the defined level.
• If possible, test the dry-running function by starting the pump
manually and wait while the pit with the pump is emptied. Check
that the control unit indicates an alarm and stops the pump
when the defined level is reached.
For filling applications:
• Start by draining the tank to be filled. When the tank is empty
and the start level is reached, the pump must start. When the
tank is full and the stop level is reached, the pump must stop.
• Test the high-level function by stopping the pump manually and
continue to fill the tank without the pump with water. Check that
the control unit indicates an alarm when the defined level is
reached.
• Test the dry-running function by starting the pump manually and
wait while the tank with the pump is emptied. Check that the
control unit indicates an alarm and stops the pump when the
defined level is reached. If the pump is placed in a well, this test
may not be possible since the pump cannot empty the well.
Alternatively, pull the dry-run level switch up to simulate a dry-
run situation. The same can be done with a pressure level
sensor.
4. Product introduction
4.1 Product description
The level-control unit switches the pump on and off according to the
liquid level measured by float switches or a pressure sensor. When
the start level is reached, the pump starts, and when the liquid level
has been lowered to the stop level, the pump is stopped by the
control unit. An alarm is indicated in case of for example high-water
level in the tank or sensor failure.
Basic settings are configured via the operating panel and advanced
settings are configured with Grundfos GO Remote. Furthermore,
you can read important operating parameters with Grundfos GO
Remote.

5Dry-running level
The pump starts to empty the tank or well when Start level P1 is
reached.
A second pump starts when the liquid level reaches Start level P2.
The pump stops when the liquid level is lowered to Stop level.
If the inflow of liquid exceeds the capacity of the installed pump, the
level in the tank or well starts to rise. Eventually, the High level
sensor registers a high liquid level in the tank or well. If set, the
signal from the High level sensor can be used to activate an output
relay which can then be used to give a visual or acoustic alarm or
send a signal to a SCADA system.
If the pump is running and the liquid level in the tank or well falls
below the dry-running level, the dry-running protection stops the
pump to ensure that it is not damaged mechanically.

reached.
A second pump starts when the liquid level reaches Start level P2.
The pump stops when the liquid level reaches Stop level.
If the pump for some reason does not stop at Stop level and the
liquid level keeps rising, the High level sensor eventually
registers this. If set, the signal from the High level sensor can be
used to activate a relay output which can then be used to give a
visual or acoustic alarm or send a signal to a SCADA system via a
communication interface.
If the pump is running and the liquid level in the tank falls below the
dry-running level, the dry-running protection stops the pump to
ensure that it is not damaged.

stopped automatically due to overheating, provided that the motor
protection has been set. When the motor has cooled down, the
control unit will unsuccessfully try to restart the pump and this
scenario will be repeated.
In order to prevent this, it is possible to set a maximum number of
restart attempts within a set interval.
1. Go to Settings > Max number of restarts.
2. Enable the function.
3. Set the interval within which the allowed number of restarts are
to be counted.

8.13 Code 69 (Winding temperature too high)
6.17.1 Overheat protection
The control unit offers thermal protection for the connected motors.
Two types of thermal-protection sensor can be connected to the
control unit: a PTC sensor (analog) and a thermal switch (digital).
Under normal running conditions, the sensor will act as a short
circuit, but when its temperature limit is reached, it will open and tell
the control unit that the temperature is too high, and the pump is
stopped. When the temperature has dropped to the sensor-trigger
level, the pump will return to normal running conditions. It will not be
possible to start the pump manually as long as the temperature is
too high.
Related information
6.14 Setting the maximum number of restarts with Grundfos GO
Remote
6.17.2 Overload protection
The pump is protected by a motor-protection relay. The nominal
current draw must be set manually on the motor-protection relay.
See the specific documentation for the relay on how to set the
trigger level. If the current exceeds the trigger level, the relay will
switch off the pump and the controller will give an alarm. The alarm
has to be manually reset directly on the motor protection relay.
Related information
6.14 Setting the maximum number of restarts with Grundfos GO
Remote
6.17.3 Moisture protection
When a moisture sensor is installed in series with the temperature
sensor, the control unit needs to know how to determine whether
there is a high temperature or moisture in the pump. If the
temperature is too high, normally the temperature sensor will go
back to its normal stage when the temperature has dropped to its
trigger level. If there is moisture in the pump, then the moisture
sensor will keep the series connection open until the pump is
opened and serviced.
To determine which sensor has been active, a cool down
time must be entered. This is the time that will normally pass until
the temperature has dropped enough for the temperature sensor to
return to its normal stage. If the cool down time is exceeded, the
control unit will assume that there is moisture in the pump, and it
will send a moisture alarm.
