What is a ZENER ‘Application’?
An ‘Application’ is firmware that aims to simplify wiring, programming and the
commissioning of ZENER 8000. An ‘Application’ programs the drive and creates new
user friendly menus with the essential settings. This eliminates timely setups, the
reading & interpretation of complex manuals and ensures all critical protection is
installed & set up correctly. There is generally no reason to program additional
parameters unless there is a variation to the intended operation of this ‘Application’.
PID Irrigator Application Summary:
This application provides an advanced PID Pressure Control System using an external pressure transducer. The
ZENER 8000 will maintain a constant pressure with changing water consumption requirements.
1 of 4 user configured set points provides the pressure for the system to maintain. As the pressure changes the
ZENER 8000 automatically adjusts the speed to ensure constant pressure is maintained.
When demand decreases the drive will reduce speed to reduce pressure accordingly. As the flow & speed
reduce the load (current) also reduces. If the installed flow switch detects “no-flow”, the ZENER 8000 will stop
pumping and await reset.
A ‘Pipe Fill’ feature is available to run at a set speed during filling then automatically changeover to PID mode
when the set pressure is reached.
ZENER 8000 protection for the pump & motor:
i. Motor Overload protection
ii. Output Short Circuit protection
iii. Loss of transducer signal
iv. High Pressure Pulse Protection
v. Pressure Out of Regulation Protection
vi. Optional Low Bore level protection
vii. Optional No Flow protection
