PROCEDURE
Warning ! - Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not allow unqualified personnel to perform work on the
drive. Installation, maintenance, inspection, and servicing must be performed by authorized
personnel familiar with installation, adjustment, and maintenance of AC drives Failure to comply
may result in electrocution.
Warning ! - Electrical Shock Hazard. Shut off the power supply to the drive before wiring the
main circuit terminals. The internal capacitor remains charged even after the power supply is
turned off. After shutting off the power, wait for at least the amount of time specified on the drive
before touching any components. Failure to comply may result in electrocution.
Warning ! - Electrical Shock Hazard. Do not connect or disconnect wiring while the power is on.

STEP 1 –MAKE ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
1.1 Refer to Figure 2. Make electrical connections to the iQpump1000.

1.2 Install a pull-up resistor at iQpump1000 I/O terminals RP and 24V as shown in Figure 3.
The pulse train output of the Seametrics AG2000 Flow Meter is a “sinking” type that requires a
customer-supplied 10k Ohm resistor to condition the signal for the iQpump1000.
1.3 Re-install all covers on the iQpump1000.
1.4 Re-install the JVOP-183 digital operator on the iQpump1000 drive.
STEP 2 –VERIFY SIGNAL FROM FLOW METER TO IQPUMP1000
WARNING ! - Sudden Movement Hazard. Clear all personnel from the drive, motor, and machine
area before applying power. System may start unexpectedly upon application of power, causing
death or serious injury.
Preparation:
Prepare a digital multi-meter with a frequency counter function to measure a signal at
iQpump1000 I/O terminals AC to RP.
2.1 Energize the drive. The JVOP-183 digital operator should display: U1-01= 0.00 Hz.
2.2 Verify the pump is primed, and the system is prepared to receive flow.

WARNING ! - Sudden Movement Hazard. Clear all personnel from the drive, motor, and
machine area before applying power to prevent injury from unexpected motor rotation.
2.3 Start the iQpump1000 by pressing the HAND key on the JVOP-183. To set HAND SPEED,
press ENTER and adjust P5-02 to set the speed to a known safe operating speed.
2.4 View parameter U1-24 to verify that the RP terminal on the iQPump1000 is receiving a
signal from the AG2000 flow meter. Refer to Figure 4.
2.5 Measure the signal across I/O terminals AC and RP, Figure 4.

60 Hz Signal
100 Hz Signal (Higher flow rate example)
2.6 Alternate Method for Flow Meter Signal Verification (if multi-meter is not available)
Use an analog GPM gauge in proximity to the flow meter, to find flow rate.
2.7 Convert the U1-24 (Hz) display to GPM for comparison.
Because the U1-24 display reads in HZ and the analog gauge reads GPM we must convert the
U1-24 display to GPM for comparison.
Multiply the U1-24 display value by 60 secs 
60 Hz x 60 = 3,600 pulses per minute (PPM)
2.8 Divide 3,600 PPM by 25.228 PPG. 25.228 is the calibrated flow meter output for an
AG2000-300 meter 
3600 PPM/25.228 PPG = 142.7 GPM @ 60 Hz
*Note: PPG can be found on the AG2000 flow meter spec sheet.
2.9 Compare the calculated result from STEP 2.8, to the pipe mounted analog gauge GPM
value. The two values should match.
2.10 Recheck all electrical connections for a wiring error and make corrections if a substantial
difference in the compared readings exists (no match).

STEP 3 –PARAMETER SETTINGS
3.1 Verify system pressure regulation is function properly.
3.2 Ensure other desired features such as Pre-Charge, or Loss of Prime are functioning before
proceeding.
Refer to the iQpump1000 User Manual TOEPYAIP1W01 for details about Pre-Charge and
Loss of Prime.
Note: In this example, the iQPump1000 drive will shut down and require resetting if the system
reaches the setting level set in parameter P6-17.
