The Munro Simplicity is a low-maintenance, self-contained pumping station with simple, user-friendly
controls. The system is controlled using a toggle switch and a digital keypad for modifying settings.
The small toggle switch on the front of the VFD labeled “HAND/OFF/AUTO” can be set to one of the three
positions: left= HAND, center= OFF, and right= AUTO.
• Hand Mode simply runs the pump at a constant speed.
• Auto Mode uses feedback from the pressure transducer to automatically start and stop the pump and
control the speed in order to maintain constant pressure in the system.
When in Auto Mode, the pump can be started using either the Pressure Start Method or the Clock Start Method.
• With Pressure Start, the pump starts when the pressure in the system drops below a set threshold.
• With Clock Start, an external run signal from an irrigation controller can be used to start and stop the system.
For information about modifying settings, refer to sections 3 and 4.
When in Hand Mode, the functions marked below are enabled:
OFF Mode:
• The VFD stops the pump using the stopping method set in parameter B1-03.
• The pump remains off until switch is moved from the OFF position.
Hand Mode:
• Sends a 24VDC signal to VFD terminals S3-S4.
• Forces the VFD into the “Run” state.
• The pump runs at the speed set in parameter D1-01.
• The Start Method and Sleep Function are ignored.

Auto Mode:
• Sends a 24VDC signal to VFD terminal S2.
• The VFD waits idly until the designated start conditions have been met.
• Utilizing feedback from the pressure sensor, the VFD uses PID control to adjust the speed of the pump
in order to achieve the pressure setpoint set in parameter B5-19.
• If using Clock Start, the pump runs until the external 24VAC signal is removed.
• If using Pressure Start, the pump runs until the conditions of the designated Sleep Type have been met
(see Figure 1).
• Pressure Start: the system pressure drops below the pressure set in parameter Q1-01.
• Clock Start: an external 24VAC signal is received across the wires in the external junction box
which closes the Time Clock Relay and sends a 24VDC signal to VFD terminal S1.
Frequency: the pressure setpoint has been achieved and the pump’s proportional speed
is less than the percentage set in parameter Q1-02 for the time set in parameter Q3-01.
Current: The pressure setpoint has been achieved and the pump’s proportional current is
less than percentage set in parameter Q1-02 for the time set in parameter Q3-01.

VERY IMPORTANT
READ CAREFULLY

This section describes the basic settings for your Munro Simplicity pump station. Virtually all of the settings
that control the pump station are managed by the VFD parameters. The parameters can be modied directly
on the VFD using its buttons and digital display, or by using the much more user-friendly Yaskawa JVOP-
180 Digital Operator keybad included with your Munro Simplicity (see Figure 2). To use the Digital Operator,
simply connect it to the VFD using a Cat5e Networking Cable.

The VFD parameters are organized with a numbering system using one letter and two numbers, e.g., “A0-00”.
The letter represents the parameter group, the rst number represents the sub-group, and the number after
the dash represents the specic parameter. This section covers the main, applicable parameters. The rest of
the parameters and their descriptions can be found in the V1000 Quick Start Guide*.

No. Parameter Name Digital Operator Display Range Default
B5-19 RUNNING PRESSURE PID Setpoint 0-100% 40%
Parameter B5-19 sets the pressure setpoint that the system tries to maintain when in Auto Mode. This value is
entered as a percentage of the range of the pressure transducer used in the system.
To calculate the value to enter for running Pressure, use the following equation or see Figure 4 for typical values.
EXAMPLE: If you want the system to maintain the pressure at 60 psi, substitute 60
into the above equation: 60+20 =40, enter 40 into parameter B5-19.

Parameter Q1-01 sets the pressure that will cause the pump to start when using the Pressure Start Method
in Auto Mode. If the pressure in the system falls below this setting, the VFD will exit sleep mode and run the
pump. It is typically set to 10 psi below the Running Pressure. This value is set as a percentage of the range of
the pressure transducer used in the system. To calculate the value to enter for Start Pressure, use the following
equation or see Figure 4 for typical values.
EXAMPLE: if you want the pump to start when the pressure drops below 50 psi, substitute
50 into the above equation 50+20 = 35, enter 35 into parameter Q1-01.

Where “x” is a percentage of the range of the pressure
transducer and “r” is the range of the pressure transducer (in
psi). The Munro Simplicity uses a 0-200 psi, 1-11V Pressure
transducer, but the analog input on the VFD used for PID
feedback reads a 0-10V signal, so the 10% offset in the
equation compensates for the 1V difference. If the pressure
transducer is replaced with one with a different pressure
range, substitute the new range into the above equation to
calculate the correct values to enter into the parameters.
NOTE: The above equation used for the pressure parameters
is derived from the equation:
X=pressure(psi) + .1r *100
r

The Q1-03 parameter determines if the VFD will use the Pressure Start Method or Clock Start Method.
Parameter Q1-02 sets the threshold for the Sleep Function. The value entered in this parameter depends on the
setting of the SLEEP TYPE Parameter Q1-04:
Q1-04 =0: If the running pressure is being maintained and the proportional speed falls below this value for the
amount of time set in Q3-01, the VFD will activate the Sleep Function. This value is set as a percentage of the
maximum speed, 60Hz.
Q1-04 =1: If the running pressure is being maintained and the proportional current falls below this value for
the amount of time set in Q3-01, the VFD will activate the Sleep Function. This value is set as a percentage of
the rated output current of the VFD. The rated output current of the VFD is printed on the top of the VFD, near
the model number and serial number.

0.00: Pressure Start Method: When in Auto Mode, the VFD will start the pump when the pressure drops
below the level set in Q1-01.
1.00: Clock Start Method: When in Auto Mode, the VFD will start the pump when it receives a 24VAC signal
from an external source (e.g. an irrigation controller).

The Q1-04 parameter determines if the VFD will monitor the pump’s speed or current to trigger the sleep function.
Parameter L6-02 sets the threshold for the Prime Loss Detection Function. If the pump is running at full speed
(60 Hz) and the proportional current falls below this value for the amount of time set in L6-03, the VFD will shut
off the pump to prevent it from being damaged and display Fault Code UL5.
The value is set as a percentage of the rated output current of the VFD. The rated output current of the VFD is
printed on the top of the VFD, near the model number and serial number. The Prime Loss Detection Level is set
and tested at the factory, so it is unlikely that it will need to be adjusted. This value is typically set at 43% (60%
of the pump’s FLA), in most systems. Increasing this value will make the system more sensitive to Prime Loss
Detection (see gure 5).
Parameter D1-01 sets the speed the pump will run while in Hand Mode.
This value is set as a percentage of the maximum speed, 60Hz.

6. FAULTS & ALARMS
When the VFD has an active alarm, the “ALM” LED will blink red and the digital display (or the digital operator
if it’s connected) will display the alarm code. When the VFD has an active fault, the “ALM” LED will be solid
red and the digital display (or the digital operator if it’s connected) will display the fault code. Fault and Alarm
code descriptions can be found in the V1000 Quick Start Guide*.
To resolve a Fault or Alarm:
1. Move the HOA switch to the OFF position.
2. Connect the Digital Operator and identify the displayed fault/alarm.
3. Look up the fault/alarm code in the V1000 Quick Start Guide.
4. Resolve the issue triggering the fault/alarm.
5. Place the HOA switch in the OFF position.
6. Push the RESET button on the Digital Operator to reset the fault/alarm.
