Sleep Cycle Settings
The sleep cycle settings affect the operation of the PF1 r
elay’s sleep function.
Table 7: Sleep Cycle Setting Definitions
Pump Mode
Parameter

Options
Setting Description
iSet Current Level
Local or
Remote
Start
-
The current that the outlet draws when the
pump intake pipe is withdrawn from the
water. (under-current / no-load current)
iSet Offset
(Hysteresis)
PC
Software
5%,10%,15%,
20%
A percentage of the
iSet Current Level
.
The PF1 will initiate its sleep mode
sequence when the load current falls below
the
iSet Current Level
+ the
iSet Offset
(Hysteresis)
.
iSet Current
(Minimum)
PC
Software
1.5A
(fixed value in this
version)
The minimum current value that the outlet
must be drawing before the iSet current
value can be set.
iSet Start-Up
Lockout Period
PC
Software
10 seconds
(fixed value in this
version)
The minimum amount of time that must
elapse after the outlet is started before the
iSet Current Level
can be set.
Runtime: After start
(Minimum)
PC
Software
30 seconds (fixed
value in this
version)
The minimum period of time that the PF1
will run the outlet before it will enter sleep
mode. It will only enter sleep mode if the
outlet current is less than the undercurrent
level.
Runtime : Between
sleeping (Minimum)
PC
Software
5 to 60 seconds
(1s increments)
The minimum time that the outlet will run
after it exits sleep mode if the current is still
below the undercurrent level.
Sleep Time
(Initial Delay)
PC
Software
0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
10, 15, 20, 30, 60
(minutes)
Only used if the Incremental Sleep Mode
has been selected.
This value will be the initial delay time when
the PF1 enters sleep mode.
After the initial sleep, the length of each
subsequent sleep will increase as
described in Section 6.1.1.
If the outlet current sensed by the PF1
exceeds the undercurrent level during any
of the periods when it awakens, then the
delay length will reset back to the base
level initial delay.
Sleep Time
(Fixed Delay)
PC
Software
0.5, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,
10, 15, 20, 30, 60
(minutes)
Only used if the Fixed Sleep Mode has
been selected.
This value will be the time duration of the
PF1 sleep. This sleep duration is fixed and
will not increase for consecutive sleeps.
NOTE
If the minimum operating current of the connected pump is below 3A, it
is recommended that multiple turns of the phase conductor be wound
through the Phase Current Transformer (CT) to increase the sensitivity
of the circuit.
