SHAFT CHOICES

Durco
Mark III
Shafts &
Sleeves

Composite: a steel shaft


end-to-end with an integral sleeve of DC8, SD77
high silicon iron, ceramic
(alumina or zirconia)

DC8 and SD77 offer


superior corrosion resistance and hardness to
minimize shaft fret corrosion and maximize shaft
wet end performance.
DC8 a cobalt base
alloy with chromium
and molybdenum
SD77 or Superchlor
is a high silicon iron
alloy

Friction-Welded: a steel
power end friction welded
to a solid alloy wet end

Flowserve recommends the


use of solid shafts rather than
shaft sleeves to reduce the
harmful effects of deflection
and vibration. Shaft sleeves
may simplify maintenance
but solid shafts reduce it.

Solid: steel end-to-end or


stainless alloy end-to-end

Hook Sleeve: a steel shaft


end-to-end or a steel
power end friction-welded
to a stainless wet end
accommodating a hook
sleeve

Radiused sled-runner keyways


improve strength at this stress
point.
Offset keyways aid shaft balance.
Alloy identification on every shaft
and sleeve ensures that the right
parts go in every time.

Large radii fillets add strength.


Accurate machining under
bearings ensures perfect
bearing fits without vibration
or hot running.

Steel power ends handle higher


horsepower loads than
stainless.

Run-out of <0.001 in (0.03 mm)


at mechanical seal allows seal
faces to run true.
Critical surfaces ground to a surface finish of 16 in (0.4 micron)
ensure the secondary sealing
ability of mechanical seals.

Minimally radiused edges


ensure full contact with
impeller for reduced run-out.

Page 8 Dan K. Snelson RED Manuals-2:TECHNICAL BULLETINS:MKIII TECH P-10-501:

DC8 is an ideal
sleeve material
because of its
optimum combination of strength
(tensile strength of
60,000 psi), hardness (Brinell of 300),
and corrosion resistance (superior to
Alloy 20 in many
cases).

Shaft is machined as an
integral unit after DC8 alloy
is permanently affixed. Single
machining tolerance means
better concentricity and lower
runout.

pecial Shaft and


Sleeve Alloys

There are three important considerations in


the selection of a suitable shaft material for a
pump application:
1) corrosion resistance,
2) wear resistance, and
3) shock resistance
both thermal and
mechanical. To
meet these criteria,
Flowserves exclusive
DC8 alloy was
developed specifically as
a shaft sleeve material.

such as on solids, slurry
and liquor services. Flush
plans 11, 32, 52, 53, etc.

Maximizing seal life
involves proper selection
of the seal chamber and
seal and gland combination. Generally, the seal
faces should be located
directly in the flush path.

SealSentry FM Opportunities

Results and Comments

The SealSentry FM provides improved internal seal


chamber flush, with better solids handling, superior heat
dissipation and vapor purging. These features extend
mechanical seal life in both single, internal and the process
side seal of dual seals.

On most applications, a bypass line such as ANSI Plan 11, which can be
subject to failure, can be eliminated. Save on capital and power costs
and improve system reliability while extending seal MTBPM.

For best performance, select seals and glands that locate


the process side seal faces directly in the flush path.

Note: Single external seals are discouraged particularly if solids,


slurry, or liquor may be present, regardless of flush mechanism.

On most applications the FM self-flush can eliminate


the need for an external flush such as ANSI Plans 11 and 32.
Dual Seals are often specified on solids, slurry, and liquor
services due to difficulties in properly flushing single seals.
External flush on these dual seals adequately lubricates
internal/external seal faces, but seal life can be reduced by
process build up and temperature rise on the internal side
seal. This is caused by poor process circulation.
SealSentry FM improves internal process seal flush and
allows consideration of single seals with potentially no other
flush required.
Note: Abrasive services require careful consideration of the
concentration and hardness of the abrasive. Pump and seal
metallurgy, speed, and seal selection should be reviewed
with the manufacturer.

Save on capital, power, and perhaps evaporation costs and improve


system reliability while extending seal MTBPM.

However, a bypass flush is recommended when negative suction


pressures or self-priming pumps are applied.

When a dual seal is required, such as toxic or environmental


applications, seal life will be extended with SealSentrys improved selfflush. Longer seal MTBPM means cost savings.
On most other applications, single seals without a bypass flush may be
applied. Save on capital, avoid product contamination, and improve
system reliability.
On some applications, single seals with a quench may be preferred.
Save on capital cost, reduce contamination, and improve system
reliability while extending seal MTBPM.
When extremely abrasive and high concentration slurries exist, dual
seals that isolate the seal chamber may be preferred.

ANSI PUMP & ENHANCEMENTS

SealSentry
Types and
Recommendations
FML

Oversized, tapered bore


with 8 specially shaped
and evenly spaced castin flow modifiers.
Designed for seals with
large gland bolt and
gasket circles.

Single internal cartridge seals


Dual internal/external cartridge seals
Single internal component seals with flexibly
mounted seats*
Dual internal true tandem cartridge seals
Note: Bypass flush to internal seal normally not
required. Barrier fluid or external flush may apply to
dual seals (Plans 52, 53, etc.).

FMS

Same chamber design


as FML but accommodates seals with
small gland bolt and
gasket circles.

Same seal and flush plan recommendations as for


FML. Single seals with all types of seat mounting
configurations can be installed. FMS design is provided for the convenience of customers with seal
standards that include small glands. This design is
Flowserves secondary recommendation to the
FML.*

FMI

Same chamber design


as FMS, but includes a
cast-in integral gland.

Single internal, flexibly mounted seals. Uses


sleeve for seal setting and fast installation
Sanitary-type applications. Less prone to
bacteria build up
Note: Bypass flush is normally not required.

CBL

Oversized, cylindrical
step bore design for
seals with large gland
bolt and gasket circles.

Dual internal component seals. Isolates the seal


chamber from the process. Allows less expensive
seal materials. Recommended in tough slurry
applications
Note: Use External Flush Plan 54. Others (i.e., Plans
52, 53) not recommended without close tolerance
pumping mechanism.

(Preferred seal
chamber design
for nearly all
applications)

Single internal component or cartridge seals when


applied with a throat bushing. Usually selected to
increase stuffing box pressure above the vapor
pressure to avoid cavitation, etc.
Note: Applied with Plan 11, etc.

CBS

Cylindrical bore design


for packing arrangements and conventional
seals with small gland
bolt and gasket circles.

*All seal selections perform best when the faces are


located directly within the flush path, particularly if
solids, liquors, or slurries are present. Component seals
with clamped seat gland designs locate the seal faces
reasonably well. Flexibly mounted seat glands should
include the vent and drain option to better locate the
seal faces. The FML is always the first-choice chamber
for maximum self-flush path benefits.

Dual internal component seals. Isolates the seal


chamber from the process. Allows less expensive
seal materials. Recommended in tough slurry
applications. Allows for thermal convection type
flush plans; however, pumping ring devices are
recommended
Note: External Flush Plans 52, 53, 54
Single internal component or cartridge seals when
applied with a throat bushing. Usually selected to
increase stuffing box pressure above the vapor
pressure to avoid cavitation, etc.
Usually preferred over the CBL when jacketing is
selected for increased effectiveness in cooling or
heating
Note: Applied with Plan 11, etc.

To achieve the best process
pump and motor MTBPM
requires shaft alignments of
less than 0.002 in (0.05 mm).
But the stackup tolerances of
even the most perfectly crafted
C-Flange adapted pump and
motor package can often
produce misalignments up to
0.015 in (0.38 mm). Flowserves
unique C-Plus precision alignment system routinely delivers
shaft alignments below

ith special attention


to materials and
component options Mark
III pumps can be used to
handle liquids ranging in
temperature from as low
as -200F (-129C) to as
high as 700F (371C).
It is always essential
that the pressure and
temperature of the application never exceed the
pressure/temperature
limits of the pump. These
limits may be found in the
chart on page 30 of this
bulletin.
Operation at either
low or high temperatures
could require modification
of the standard pump
design to provide strength
of materials for pressure
containment and resistance to thermal shock,
a method for cooling or
heating pump components,
mechanical seal protection, special gaskets, and/
or maintenance of pump/
motor shaft alignment.
The Ultralign C-flange
motor adapter is recommended on any application
with temperature fluctuations of more than 100F
(38C).

when cooling the seal
chamber is the objective.

Special recommendations
for temperatures < -20F
(-29C)
Casing: Stainless steel
alloys with jacketing.
Seal Chamber: Stainless
steel with jacketing. SealSentry designs with customized seal and flush
plan as required by the
application.
Shaft and Sleeve: Stainless
steel alloy with optional
replaceable alloy sleeves.
Friction welded 1144/ 316
(ZH) is recommended.
Gaskets: Temperature/
liquid compatible.
Coupling: Flexible
member spacer-type.
Power End: Stainless steel
bearing housing and adapter. ANSI 3A with synthetic
lubricant recommended.

High Temperature
Modifications
Special recommendations
for temperatures >300F
(149C)
Casing: For heat transfer
liquids, recommend using
300 lb flanges. Temperatures >300F (149C)
require Grafoil impeller
and casing gaskets. If
Ultralign heavy-duty rigid
design C-flange adapter is
not used and temperature is >350F (177C),
then centerline mounting
of the casing with cooling
of mounting legs is recommended. If Ultralign is
used, centerline mounting
is not recommended until
temperature exceeds
500F (260C).
Rear Cover: For temperatures >350F (177C)
jacketing is recommended.
In addition, CBL or CBS
with throat bushing is
recommended to allow
cooling jacket to be
more effective.
Shaft: Friction welded
1144/316 (ZH) is
recommended.
Bearing housing: ANSI
3A power end is recommended. For temperatures >350F (177C)
oil cooling system is
recommended. For
temperatures >500F
(260C), stainless steel
bearing housings are
required on Group 1
pumps and stainless steel
adapters are required on
Group 2 and 3 pumps.
Baseplate: Rigid reinforced base with stilt/
spring mounting.
Motor mounting:
Ultralign C-flange adapter
is recommended on
Groups 1 and 2. Hot

BaseLine
Baseplate
System

lowserve offers a
family of five (5)
types of pre-engineered
baseplate designs to
extend MTBPM and
reduce costs.
Reducing internal stress
and vibration extends
MTBPM of pump/motor
packages.
Pump users specify rigid
baseplate designs to:
Provide torsional
lateral and longitudinal
rigidity
Improve vibration
dampening through
greater mass and
design stiffness
Protect against transit
damage
Resist twisting during
installation
Maintain designed-in
shaft alignment
Reduce installation and
shaft alignment time
Reduce diaphragming
or separation from
grout
Improve pump/motor/
seal MTBPM
Reduce total life cycle
pump/motor/seal costs
BaseLine can handle
the stress. Rigid design
begins with thick plate
construction.
Metal baseplate sizes:
139 to 258 feature
1/2 in (13 mm) steel
plate construction
264 to 280 feature
5/8 in (16 mm) steel
plate construction
368 to 398 feature
3/4 in (19 mm) steel
plate construction
Polybase baseplates
are constructed of 3 in
(76 mm) to 4 in (102 mm)
solid polymer concrete.
Baseplate Types B, C, D
and E are reinforced with
added structural support
for improved rigidity.

22

Baseplates Provide
The Backbone for
Extended MTBPM
The test stand provided
three corner support of
the ungrouted baseplates.
The addition of weights
on the unsupported
fourth corner caused
baseplate distortion.
This distortion resulted
in measurable shaft
movement that can
cause problems with
field installations and
negatively affect MTBPM.
The twist test is a
means of comparing
rigid baseplate designs.
Correctly installed rigid
baseplates should not
experience these twist
effects. For more information about the results
of baseplate testing
contact the local
Flowserve sales
representative.

Vibration Damping
Comparison
The extraordinary vibration
damping characteristics of
polymer concrete significantly reduce wear and
tear on pumps, seals and
motors. Greater dampening
characteristics mean easier
vibration analysis during
preventive maintenance.

RPM (% of BEP) RPM

Minimum continuous
thermal flow is the
lowest flow at which
the pump can operate
and still maintain the
pumped liquid temperature below that which
will have an adverse
effect on the pump or
seal performance, or
on the quality of the
pumped liquid.
The minimum flow for
Durco Mark III standard
pumps is 10% of BEP,
except those listed in
table at left.

* In some cases, the 3K6x4-16 can be used at lower than 50% of BEP, by making an
impeller modification. Contact Dayton Engineering if there is a need to use this pump at a
lower flow.

(3 mm) corrosion
allowance.
Impeller: Shall be the
reverse vane design, and
shall be open on the back
and shrouded on the
front. The impeller clearance shall be set against
the rear cover, not the
casing, allowing all settings to be done in the
maintenance shop,
without the casing. The
impeller shall maintain
low seal chamber pressures, which shall be
published on the pump
performance curve, and
shall be repeatable after
maintenance. The
impeller clearance shall
be set externally. The
impeller-to-shaft connection shall be a metal-tometal fit. A silicon O-ring
encapsulated in PTFE
shall be used to protect
the impeller threads.

strength and rigidity. The


shaft shall consist of a
steel power end friction
welded to an alloy wet
end. Shaft deflection shall
not exceed 0.002 in (0.05
mm). The shaft key slot
shall be designed with a
machined radius sled
runner edge to provide
maximum strength at
the coupling. Critical surfaces shall be ground to
0.0002 in (0.005 mm),
maximum roughness at
the seal chamber shall
be 16in (0.40m).
Rear Cover: Shall be
suitable for accepting
various seal designs from
all major seal manufacturers. Cylindrical bore
standard, cylindrical bore
oversize, and tapered
options shall be available. Tapered options
shall include eight evenly
spaced, tapered and
sloped flow modifying
devices integrally cast
into the seal chamber.
The flow modifiers shall
facilitate movement of
solids, vapors, and heat
away from the mechanical seal. The tapered
seal chambers shall be
designed to be selfflushing. For optimum
performance the seal
and gland shall be
selected to locate the
seal faces directly in the
flush path. Integrally cast
jackets shall be available.
Bearings: Shall be large,
heavy-duty, ball bearings.
The inboard bearing
shall be a single row,
deep groove. The outboard shall be double
row angular contact,
deep groove. An optional
duplex angular contact
outboard bearing shall
be available for high
thrust load applications.
Both bearings shall be
located by a shoulder on
the shaft. The inboard
bearing shall float in the
bearing housing, while
the outboard bearing
shall be locked in place
in the bearing carrier.
The bearings shall ex-

0.001 in (0.025 mm)
end play.
Bearing Housing: Shall
be sealed to prevent
contamination of the
lubricant. The oil fill hole
at the top of the housing
shall be plugged. No
vented constant level
oiler shall be used. The
housing shall be sealed
with Inpro VBX bearing
isolators. A magnetic
drain plug shall be used.
A large easy to read one
inch NPT sight glass shall
be used. The impeller
clearance shall be set by
the micrometer adjustment method. This
method shall cause the
shaft and impeller to
move axially. Indicators
shall be cast into the
bearing carrier which
represent 0.004 in
(0.102 mm) of axial
impeller travel. This
allows accurate impeller
clearance to be established externally without
the use of measurement
devices. The bearing
carrier threads shall be
protected by two O-rings.

Coupling Guard: Shall


conform to ASME B15.1
and shall be of the
clamshell design. It
shall extend from the
motor to the bearing
housing, but shall not
be attached to either.
The guard shall be
bolted to the baseplate.
Baseplate: Shall be of a
reinforced rigid design
and shall conform to
the dimension requirements of ASME B73.1M.

MARK III SEALMATIC

Dynamically
sealing repeller

This pump does not leak


while running because
the Sealmatic design
utilizes a repeller, a
dynamic sealing device,
to evacuate liquid from
the seal chamber. This
is accomplished by creation of a liquid interface
seal in the repeller
chamber that prevents
leakage along the shaft
during operation. For
sealing while the pump
is stopped, three types
of sealing arrangements
are offered for maximum
application flexibility:
Checkmatic end face lip
seal arrangement; dryrunning end face seal
designs; and the packed
stuffing box design.
The Sealmatic design
is also available with
unitized self-priming and
recessed impeller pumps.
This family of
repellers allows the
Sealmatic to be used in
applications having a
wide range of suction
pressures. Hydraulic
performance conforms
to the Standard Mark III
reverse vane impeller
curves.

Priming Cycle
Cutaway Illustrations
1. Sump Filling, Pump
Stopped
The casing is shown with the
initial prime liquid, which permanently stays in the casing.
This serves as the priming
liquid necessary to entrain the
air contained in the suction line.
2. Pump Start-Up
As the impeller spins, the
priming liquid entrains air from
the suction pipe and is pumped
into the air separator/priming

tank portion of the casing. In


this chamber the air separates
from the priming liquid and
vents out the discharge while
the priming liquid flows
through the bypass slot in the
bottom of the casing and back
into the impeller eye. As the
priming liquid circulates, it reentrains more air, creating a
partial vacuum in the suction
line. The sump liquid is then
pushed upward by atmospheric
pressure.
3. Priming Achievement
After the priming cycle has
evacuated all of the air from the
suction pipe, the sump liquid
floods the volute, air separator
and priming chamber, and
pumping out of the discharge

pipe begins. The Unitized SelfPriming is fully primed and now


operates exactly as a standard
flooded-suction Durco pump.
4. Sump Empty, Pump
Stopped
When the pump stops, the
liquid in the discharge piping
flows back through the pump,
leaving the priming chamber
filled with sufficient liquid for
the next priming cycle. Except
for the first fillup of the priming chamber and an occasional
topping off in dry climates,
the Durco Unitized Self-Priming
is automatic and trouble-free.

Data

length equal to the


actual static lift shown
plus that contained in
3 ft (1 m) of horizontal
run into the pump. The
pump example lifting
liquid 10 ft (3 m) and
horizontally 3 ft (1 m)
contains 1150 cu inches
(0.0188 m3) of air in the
suction pipe (Graph B).
Extending the pipes
horizontal run to 9 ft
(2.7 m) gives an additional 530 cu in (0.0090
m3) of air to evacuate
before achieving prime.

1680 x 18 sec = 26 seconds,


1150
or
8 seconds longer priming time.

When a self-priming
pump primes, a significant volume of air is
evacuated from the suction line. A self-priming
pump will not work
unless there is a way for
the air to be vented.
Flowserve suggests that a
vent line be run from the
discharge as shown on
the diagram below.

ndividual pump curves


found in Bulletin
P-12-102 contain graphs
of both hydraulic performance and priming
time. Once a pump has
been selected based on
speed, efficiency, flow
and head, priming times
may be determined from
these graphs. As pump
performance varies with
RPM and impeller diameter, priming times also
change. Factors such as
static suction lift distance,
specific gravity and suction pipe size also have
a direct bearing upon
priming times.
Static Suction Lift The
higher the lift, the greater
the amount of air in the
suction pipe to evacuate
and the longer the
priming time. Example
illustrated: A 3x2US-13
pump with a 13 in (330
mm) impeller lifting
water 10 ft (3 m) would
take 18 seconds (Graph
A). A lift of 15 ft (4.6 m)
would take 30 seconds.
Specific Gravity As
specific gravity increases,
priming times also increase. For example: A
pump previously lifting
10 ft (3 m) of water (1.0
sp.Gr.) is now pumping
a liquid with a specific
gravity of 1.4. The 10 ft
(3 m) actual lift x 1.4
sp.gr. becomes an effective lift of 14 ft (4.3 m),
for a priming time of 26
seconds. To be conservative for specific gravities
lower than 1.0, use 1.0
in the equation. The
practical limit of a selfpriming pump is 20 ft
(6.1 m), divide this
amount by specific gravity to determine the
actual lift limit. For
example: 20 ft (6.1 m)
1.4 = 14.3 ft (4.4 m)
maximum possible lift.

diameter. If the liquid


level in the sump
allows air into the
suction pipe, the tank
will lose prime and
the pump will empty
the tank of liquid. See
Submergence Table 2.
4. Provide a check valve
on discharge pipe to
avoid siphon problems.
5. Seal all pipe connections and the pump to
prevent air ingress and
loss of prime.
6. Anchor the priming
tank to the foundation
through holes in pads
on bottom of tank legs.
See certified dimension prints for size
and locations.
7. Provide proper piping
support.

Design/Installation
Criteria
1. Provide suction pipe
prior to the priming
tank the same size as
tank inlet and outlet.
Pipe length from the
tank to the liquid level
should be limited to
20 ft (6 m). This provides the maximum
volume of air the tank
will prime. A change in
pipe dimensions must
not result in greater air
volume to be primed.
NPSH and submergence
factors must also be
considered.
2. Provide 10 diameters
of straight suction pipe
to pump inlet where
possible. Suction pipe
between the priming
tank and pump may
be reduced (eccentric
reducer) to match
pump suction size.
3. Install a low level
switch in the sump to
ensure that the minimum submergence is
maintained. The minimum submergence
depends on the fluid
velocity at the pipe
inlet. That fluid velocity varies with the inlet

Page 13 Dan K. Snelson RED Manuals-2:TECHNICAL BULLETINS:MKIII TECH P-10-501:

Head Loss m

Selection Criteria
1. Select priming tank
with maximum design
capacity equal to or
greater than the
maximum process
flow rate from Table 3.
2. Determine NPSHa for
the pump, including
head loss thru priming
tank from Table 1.
3. Confirm from Table 3
that suction lift required
does not exceed tank
capabilities.
4. Select pump to assure
NPSHr of pump is less
than NPSHa of system.
Good Pump Practice
recommends the difference be 5 ft (2 m)
or 20%, whichever is
greater.

open. A tank fill port and
an overfill port are provided to assure proper
filling and operation.
4. Apply suitable sealant to
fill port and overfill port
plugs and replace prior
to operating.

Operating Criteria
1. Ensure maximum test
pressure limited to
14.7 psig (100 kPa).
Priming tanks operate
in vacuum conditions
and are designed as
containment vessels.
2. Remove the tank fill
plug to vent tank while
initially filling the sump.
This avoids an air pocket in submerged pipe.

Recessed
Impeller

rouble-free pumping of solid, stringy


or fibrous slurries.
Delivers efficient operation and low NPSHr.
Vortex Pumping Action
Is Your Best Choice For:
Erosive/Corrosive
Slurries
Degradation Sensitive
Crystals
Shear Sensitive
Liquids
Stringy Solids
Waste Water

Impeller Dynamics
The vortex
created by the
spinning impeller does the
pumping with
less than 20%
of the media
actually contacting the impeller.
Abrasive wear is
minimized and solids
integrity is maintained. Precision-cast
impellers ensure peak
energy efficiency and
low NPSH requirements.
Rear pump-out vanes
are used as necessary to
ensure low, positive seal
chamber pressure and
52

to expel solids from the


seal area, thus maximizing mechanical seal
and packing life. The
impeller is set to the
rear cover plate just
like the standard reverse
vane impeller.

Casing Dynamics
The cylindrical volute
design combined with
the impeller spinning
out of the flow minimize radial loads on the
impeller. The result is
longer seal life as well
as maximized radial
bearing life. The circular
flow path and tangential
discharge also contribute to maximum
pump life.

Applications
Abrasive Waste Water
Biological Sludge
Clarifier Underflow
5% Coke Slurry
Diatomaceous Earth

Specifications

At low loads, power is


linear. Small changes
in pump operating
loads provide greater
signal changes. The
KW941 is more sensitive to pump load
changes and offers
easier setup, more reliable equipment protection and no false trips.

POWER MONITOR

DISPLAY/CONTROL MODULE:
Full Scale Range: Adjustable 1 to 150 hp (0.7 to 112 kW). To 600 hp (447 kW) using
current transformer (not included).
Display: 3 digit, 0.6 in (15 mm) high, 7 segment, red LED digital display. Red LED
indicators for display mode, trip delays and trip points.
Enclosure: Polycarbonate, NEMA 4X / IP66 with see-through cover. Four #8 (4 mm)
mounting holes. Enclosure can be drilled, sawed or punched on bottom or back for
wiring access.
Power: 110 VAC (220/240 VAC optional), 50/60 Hz @ 0.125 amperes. Power is
obtained from a control voltage transformer (not supplied) connected between two
phases of the three-phase motor power source.
Operating Temperature: -40 to 158F (-44 to 70C).
Adjustable Trip Set Points:
High Power: When power exceeds the trip point setting, the trip delay is activated.
When the trip delay has timed out, an alarm contact relay will trip.
Low Power: When power falls below the trip point setting, the trip delay is
activated. When the trip delay has timed out, an alarm contact relay
will trip.
Adjustable Trip Delay Timers:
Delay timers eliminate trips during motor starting and false trips due to temporary
power fluctuations. Individual timers are adjustable from 0-to-999 seconds:
Start-up Delay
Lower Power Trip Delay
High Power Trip Delay
Alarm Relay Contacts: Form C relays for low power and high power trip points.
Ratings: 5 amps @ 125 VAC
3 amps @ 277 VAC
5 amps @ 30 VDC
Analog Output (Optional): 4 to 20 milliamp output proportional to full scale setting.
Maximum loop load resistance 600 ohms.
Trip Reset Options:
Automatic: Automatic trip reset may be selected on the display/control module.
Manual:
Trips may be reset manually on the display/control module.
Remote:
Trips may be reset remotely using a momentary external
mechanical or solid state switch.

At low loads, motor


amperes do not
change much with
small changes in pump
loads. Small signal
changes can cause false
trips or allow equipment to operate below
the desired minimum
operating point.
