PRIMING RANGE: Default: 5
Priming range can be set from 1-10. The smaller the range, the more water the pump has to be moving to
detect that it is primed. At larger ranges, the pump will detect that it is fully primed while moving less water.
If the range is set too high, then the pump may exit Priming mode before it has fully primed. The range will
automatically adjust with the priming set speed because the ow rates of the pump will be lower at lower
speeds.
PRIMING DELAY: Default: 20 SECONDS
Priming delay can be set from 1 second to 10 minutes.If the pump does not have enough water after the
automatic priming mode, the pump will increase to the Maximum Speed (under “Pump Settings” on page 9)
and run for 20 seconds (or for the time set). You may need to increase the priming delay to allow the system
to stabilize before the pump starts running speeds. If pump continues to show a priming error, increasing the
priming delay time might correct this issue.
SETTING PRIMING FEATURES
Note: Priming features are only accessible if priming is “Enabled”.
1. Press Menu.
2. Use Down arrow to scroll to “Priming” and press Select.
3. The factory default is set to priming “Enabled“. To disable, press Select.
4. Press Save if you have changed the setting - this will save the selection.
5. Press the Down arrow - the screen will read “Max Priming Time”.
6. To change from factory default, press Select. The cursor will highlight.
7. Use the Up or Down arrows to change the time from 1 minute to 30 minutes.
8. Press Save to save.
9. Press the Down arrow - the screen will read “Priming Range”. Default is “5”.
10. Press Select to change the priming range. The cursor will highlight the number.
11. Use the Up or Down arrows to change from 1 to
10. Increasing the number allows the drive to detect prime with less water ow.
12. Press Save to save.
13. Press the Down arrow - the screen will read “Priming Delay”. Default is 20 seconds.
14. Press Select to change the priming delay time.
15. Use the Up or Down arrows to change from 1 second to 10 minutes.
CAUTION: Increasing the time causes the pump to stay in the priming mode longer.
16. Press Save to save the setting.
17. Press Back to exit
DISABLING PRIMING WITH AN AUTOMATION SYSTEM
If priming is enabled on start up, the pump responds to its internal settings before responding to commands
from an automation control system. If the pump is connected to an automation control system
and priming is not desired, disable the priming feature on both the pump and the automation control system.
To disable priming with an automation system:
1. Disable the priming feature on the automation control system at the load center or using a system remote.
(Refer to the automation control system user’s guide for additional information).
2. Temporarily disconnect the RS-485 communication cable.
3. Open the lid to the control panel to disable priming on the pump. Press Menu, use the Arrow buttons to
scroll and select “Priming”, then select “Disabled” (the factory default is set to “Enabled”). Press Back to exit
the menu.
4. Once priming is disabled, reinstall the communication cable.
