Make sure that all settings are entered according to the
pump and system requirements to avoid malfunction.

6.17.1 Overheat protection

The control unit offers thermal protection for the connected motors.
Two types of thermal-protection sensor can be connected to the
control unit: a PTC sensor (analog) and a thermal switch (digital).
Under normal running conditions, the sensor will act as a short
circuit, but when its temperature limit is reached, it will open and tell
the control unit that the temperature is too high, and the pump is
stopped. When the temperature has dropped to the sensor-trigger
level, the pump will return to normal running conditions. It will not be
possible to start the pump manually as long as the temperature is
too high.

6.17.3 Moisture protection

When a moisture sensor is installed in series with the temperature
sensor, the control unit needs to know how to determine whether
there is a high temperature or moisture in the pump. If the
temperature is too high, normally the temperature sensor will go
back to its normal stage when the temperature has dropped to its
trigger level. If there is moisture in the pump, then the moisture
sensor will keep the series connection open until the pump is
opened and serviced.
To determine which sensor has been active, a 

cool down

time

 must be entered. This is the time that will normally pass until

the temperature has dropped enough for the temperature sensor to
return to its normal stage. If the 

cool down time

 is exceeded, the

control unit will assume that there is moisture in the pump, and it
will send a moisture alarm.

Curve without tripping

A pump is to cut out after 10 seconds because the rated current has
been exceeded.
1.

Select trip class.

2.

Set the overload limit to 10 A. The rated motor current is stated
on the nameplate.

See position 3, curve with tripping. LC 231 cuts out the pump
because the pump startup time exceeds 10 seconds and the
current exceeds 10 A. 
See position 4, curve without tripping. During pump startup the
starting current only briefly exceeds 10 A and the pump is not cut
out.
