GENERAL OPERATING
PRINCIPLES OF THE
HYDROVAR
®
SYSTEM
The basic function of the HYDROVAR
®
device is to
control the pump to meet the system demands.
For the FC and FCT series electric pumps, typical
operation consists in system regulation based on the
characteristic curve (B).
HYDROVAR
®
performs these functions by:
1) Measuring the system pressure or flow via a
transmitter mounted on the pump’s delivery side.
2) Calculating the motor speed to maintain the correct
flow or pressure.
3) Sending out a signal to the pump to start the motor,
increase speed, decrease speed or stop.
4) In the case of multiple pump installations,
HYDROVAR
®
will automatically provide for the cyclic
changeover of the pumps’ starting sequence
In addition to these basic functions, HYDROVAR
®
can do
things only by the most advanced computerised control
systems, such as:
• Stop the pump(s) at zero demand.
• Stop the pump(s) in case of water failure on the
suction side (protection against dry running).
• Stop the pump if the required delivery exceeds the
pump’s capacity (protection against cavitation caused
by excessive demand), or automatically switch on the
next pump in a multiple series.
• Protect the pump and motor from overvoltage,
undervoltage, overload and earth fault.
• Vary the pump speed acceleration and deceleration
time.
• Compensate for increased flow resistance at high flow
rates.
• Conduct automatic test starts at set intervals.
• Monitor the converter and motor operating hours.
• Display all functions on an LCD in different languages
(Italian, English, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese,
Dutch).
• Send a signal to a remote control system which is
proportional to the pressure and frequency.
• Communicate with another HYDROVAR or control
system via an RS 485 interface.
