• Please study this manual carefully before installation and programming.
• Installation should only be undertaken by quali ed personnel.
• Disconnect power supply circuits before installation.
• Installation must comply with local electrical codes and standards.
• Check installation connections before re-applying power.
• Contact your supplier if you have any questions regarding installation or
programming.
• Product failure or damage to external equipment caused by installation
errors are not covered by the warranty.
3. description
ProcessDefender is an accurate and reliable Motor Load (Power) Monitor, designed
to protect rotating equipment from expensive damage and downtime caused by
abnormal process overload and underload conditions.
ProcessDefender uses the motor as its own sensor, thereby eliminating the need
for external sensors such as temperature probes, pressure sensors, ow monitors or
vibration transducers, etc.
ProcessDefender ‘learns’ the normal process load and then, when instructed to do
so, automatically sets itself to protect against abnormal overload and/or underload
conditions.
A key feature of ProcessDefender is its ability to protect the Engineer and Operator
from Arc Flash. Programming and Alarm Reset is via the externally mounted HMI
or Modbus interface. Previous Motor Load Monitors have typically been installed
inside a motor control panel and where the user can be exposed to dangerous Arc
Flash conditions - a situation where a violent ashover of electrical current can occur
and where the user can experience serious injury or even death. ProcessDefender
eliminates these concerns.
ProcessDefender includes 3 fully programmable relays. The relays are designated as
follows:
• Relay 1: Main Alarm - typically used to shut down the motor in the event
of an abnormal process load condition.
• Relay 2: Pre-Alarm - an early warning of an impending main alarm.
• Relay 3: General Alarm - used to signal an array of other monitored
parameters such as over / under voltage, phase symmetry (imbalance),
locked rotor, exceeded starts per hour limit.
The HMI can display % motor load, HP, kW, Line Voltage, measured Amps.

Getting StartedH2flow Controls ProcessDefender™
6Description
The ProcessDefender’s installation simply requires the Power Transducer to be
mounted on a 35mm DIN rail, close to the motor starter. The clamp-on CT is to be
installed onto the L1 phase going to the motor, and the HMI is to be mounted in the
door of the motor control panel. Interconnecting wiring is clearly shown within this
installation Instruction Sheet.
Common applications for the ProcessDefender include:
• Mag Drive Pumps
• Screw (positive displacement) Pumps
• Progressive Cavity Pumps
• Conveyors
• Mixers
• Scrapers
• Crushers
• Circular and Linear Clariers
• Belt-driven Fans

4.1 Important Notes
a. ProcessDefender, PD100 has one model that is suitable for all motor
supply voltages, ranging from single-phase 100-240 VAC to three-phase
200-480 VAC.
b. It is essential that the Current Transducer complies with the table below:
Motor Full Load
Amps / Rated
Motor Current
Current Transducer (CT) Size and Number of Passes
(See Notes Below)
10A 20A 50A 100A 150A 200A
0.83 - 1.0 10
1.1 - 1.4 7
1.5 - 2.0 5
2.1 - 2.5 4
2.6 - 3.3 3
3.4 - 5.0 2
5.1 - 10.0 1
10.1 - 20.0 1
20.1 - 50.0 1
50.1 - 100 1
101 - 150 1
151 - 200 1
Notes:
1. Please note that the max cable length (84 inches/2.13m) of the ProcessDefender CT cannot
be extended.
2. A ‘pass’ through the Current Transformer equates to the number of times that the L1 wire
passes through the Core of the CT.
3. The CT should only measure current going to the motor, i.e., care should be taken to ensure
that no other device is taking power from the wire going through the CT.

Relay 1 is assigned to protect the monitored equipment from abnormal overload or
underload conditions. The relay output is typically used to stop the motor when an
abnormal condition is detected. This section will guide you through the steps to set
the parameters associated with R1.

Trip response times
The screen will now show either 3.2.1 or 3.2.2 (depending on what was set in 3.1.1).
These menus relate to the response delays for either the process overload (3.2.1)
or process underload (3.3.2) condition. The response delay is the time-period that
the PD100 will take to respond once the load has exceeded the alarm levels that have
been set. For an application such as a conveyor, and where a fast response is required
to protect against damage caused by a blockage, then the response should be set to a
short duration. For a Mag Drive pump, the response delay may be better set to several
seconds, in-order-to avoid nuisance alarms caused by short process disruptions as
opposed to a run-dry situation.

Applying Hysteresis % to an unlatched relay prevents ‘relay chatter / bounce’ if the load
is close to the alarm level and goes in and out of that level. To reduce unacceptable
relay chatter / bounce, increase the Hysteresis %.

Relay 2 is assigned to provide an early warning (Pre-Alarm) of an abnormal overload
or underload condition. The relay output is typically used to provide a warning to the
equipment operator that something is going wrong. This may be in the form of a light
or audible alarm. This section will guide you through the steps to set the parameters
associated with R2.
