Sequence of Operation, for Primary Variable Speed Pumping System:-

1. The system shall consist of a pump logic controller, multiple pump/VFD sets with
manual and automatic alternation and pump staging.

2. The pumping system shall start upon the closure of customer's contact when the pump
logiccontroller Mode of Operation selector switch is in the REMOTE position.

3. When the pump logic controller selector switch is in the LOCAL position, the pumping
systemshall operate automatically.

4. Sensor/transmitters shall be provided as indicated on the plans.

5. Each sensor/transmitter shall send a 4-20mA signal to the pump logic controller, indicative
of process variable condition.

6. The pump logic controller shall compare each signal to the independent, engineer/user
determined set points.

7. When all set points are satisfied by the process variable, the pump speed shall remain
constant at the optimum energy consumption level.

8. The pump logic controller shall continuously scan and compare each process variable to
its individual set point and control to the least satisfied zone:

 The First priority: The controller shall monitor the zone differential pressure sensors
and compare actual process values with the required set points. The pump speed is
modulated to maintain set point. Pump staging will occur if required to meet set point.

 The Second priority of the control system will be to ensure that minimum flow
requirements are being met for all running chillers.

 The Controller will monitor individual chiller flows or DP signals, along with digital
input signals from each chiller.

 If the speed signal or the actual flow or DP is not high enough the bypass valve will
be opened to the user defined initial opening value and modulate as needed to
ensure minimum flow. Display shall indicate valve position.

 Upon sufficient increase in system flow, valve will modulate to the closed position.

 The controller will provide each pump an off delay when a chiller is de-staged or
turned off to prevent freezing. When the chiller start and chiller running digital input
signals (from the chiller to the ) are turned off the chiller isolation valve will close and
the pump will continue to operate.
