operate at.  It must be set to a pressure higher than the previously set stop 
pressure.  The available range is 0 to 2000kPa or 0 to 290 psi.  If the high 
pressure limit is set to a pressure less than the normal stop pressure an 
error message is invoked advising you to check the pressures.

On a rising pressure the E30 will start the high pressure run-on timer as 
soon as it detects pressure higher than the normal stop pressure.  The high 
pressure run-on timer will run for whatever you set it to and expect pressure 
to fall back below the normal stop pressure before it times out.  It the high 
pressure run-on timer times out, it shuts the pump down and reverts to a 
normal waiting state.  The pump will not then start until pressure falls to 
below the set starting pressure.  Given pressure falls to below the set stop 
pressure before the high pressure run-on timer times out, the pump will 
stop and wait for pressure to fall to the set starting pressure.

In effect the high pressure run-on and its associated pressure setting create 
a shut down pressure band rather than a single shut down point.  The 
pump can continue to operate on a low draw off while in this band for a set 
period of time using the high pressure run-on timer.      

ANTI-CYCLING  

Mode

 

1

Electric motors are often limited in the number of times they can be safely 
started in any one hour.  This is particularly important in the operation of 
submersible bore pumps.  When a motor starts there is an initial inrush of 
current that produces heat in the coils and iron rotor of the motor.  If the 
frequency of starts is excessive the accumulation of heat within the motor 
can cause severe damage and eventual failure of the motor. Submersible 
bore pump motors are particularly prone to damage from excessive cycling 
(starting and stopping).

MAXIMUM STARTS PER HOUR

The anti-cycling option built into the E30 allows the user to set the maximum 
number of times the pump can be safely started in any one hour period.  
If you select yes to this option the screen that follows will ask you to enter 
the maximum number of times the pump can be started in any one hour.  
The number of starts can be set from 1 start per hour to 1800 starts per 
hour.  Please contact your pump supplier to obtain the correct
