The program mode function is used when maintaining the RTU. It is possible to
restart the RTU, start remote service and load/save set-points.
*
Program mode
Normal run
Run mode changeable from AquaView.
It is possible change the run mode by sending the set-points from AquaView. This
is sometimes very useful but it opens a security risk. To prevent the change of this
menu set the run mode to Normal locked. This will prevent the possibility to cold
start the RTU from the central but will also prevent the possibility to use remote
services. Other remote functions from AquaView are not affected by this menu.
Program mode
Normal locked
Run mode not changeable from AquaView.
It is still possible to activate remote service and cold/warm start the RTU if the
menu is changed locally on the RTU.

The program mode menu is used if a situation occurs in which the RTU must be
cold or warm started. The command will be done shortly after the option is
selected, making it possible to cancel the command by changing the menu again.
Program mode
Warm start
Warm starting the RTU.
! Remember that the set-points will be lost and must be re-entered following a cold
start.

Remote service of the RTU is possible if the RTU is called. This includes loading
a new program over the telephone line.
Program mode
Remote load COM3
Remote load on COM3.
Select the COM port to be used in the program mode menu. Note! The RTU will
not control the station during remote service.
*"%(+ ,$
It is possible to save and load set-points to a file in the RTU. Use this function to
protect the set-points from being lost in a cold start. Once you saved the set-points
they will be used to start-up the RTU in a cold start. The cold-start will lose alarm,
trend and report data, but not control parameters and the RTU will continue to
control the station.
Set-points will be saved automatically at midnight if changed.
Another way of using this function is if you experiment with set-points and you
want to be able to return to the original set-points. It is also possible to use this
option if you want to copy set-points from one RTU to another but only if the two
programs are identical. The two programs have to have the same program ID.
Program mode
Save setpoints
To save the set-points.
Remember that when loading the set-points the program will assume the same
logical state as when they where saved.
Program mode
Load setpoints
Loading set-points.
! The load set-points does not work if a new RTU program has been uploaded and
the old setpoint file remains. This can cause a program crash or other undesirable
consequences.
**%( & ,$
It is possible to change the default values used by the RTU at a cold start-up. This
may be used to create a regional variant of the set-points to make the installation
easier.
Program mode
Save defaults
To save the default values.
To create a regional file first set-up the RTU with desired values. Next select the
command and the RTU will create a file “Abackup.IMG”. This will contain all
set-point values. Download the file to your PC and use this file in the installation
of future RTUs.
!! It is extremely important that the file is installed in the exact same program with
the same program ID otherwise the RTU may crash.
-!
Two password menus are included in the RTU to prevent unauthorised personnel
from altering settings in the RTU. The function is activated by entering the
appropriate four-digit code in the New password menu. When an operator wishes
to alter a setting in any menu using the buttons on the front panel, the code must
first be entered before the data can be changed.
Enter password

The RTU can communicate with the central station and paging systems in several
different ways. Select communication function depending on connected
equipment and desired function.
The programs are equipped with a very flexible communication setup. It is
possible to connect various modems and use several protocols.
These settings are only required if the RTU should communicate. A stand alone
RTU does not require any changes in this section.
Underneath the display of the RTU there is a symbol of two telephone handsets
with a communication status led.

Use one of these settings if the RTU is delivered with the Westermo TD-22
modem. Select V.23 when the modem shall communicate with CCC0502/0503
modems. Select V.23 fixed when the modem shall communicate with
CCD0502/0503 or other TD-22 modems on a fixed line. V.22 should be used to
communicate with other Hayes modems.
* Using TD-22 in V.23 mode is not recommended. The modem is initialized by the
RTU and this fixed mode cause the possibility to initialize the modem again to be
lost. If the modem loses power the communication is lost. It is therefore highly
recommended to connect the TD-22 modem to the same power supply as the RTU
if this communication mode is used. This will cause the modem to be initialized
safely. A better method is to set the TD-22 modem to V.23 mode using the DIP
switches inside the modem and use RS232 half duplex as communication mode.

Use this option for point to point communication on a fixed line cable together
with Mtc-Com, AquaView or GPRS AquaCom. A null modem or a special null
modem cable should be used in this communication.
This option is also used for modems emulating a RS232 line using control signals.
This is the preferred option for using modem TD-22 in V.23 fixed mode.

It is possible to connect other modems to the RTU. In this case the modem needs
to be configured using a PC before installation. The configuration should be saved
in the internal memory area 0 inside the modem using the command “AT E0 V0
&W0”. The modem will then later on be initiated with the command “AT Z” to
recall the saved configuration. See separate documentation for specific modems.
Communic. COM4

The line speed depends on the initiation string, line quality and DTE speed.
Changing the DTE speed will not always change the line speed.
All modems besides PC card modems are connected to COM1. See the modem
documentation for cabling specifications.
When the communication mode is changed then the RTU will automatically
restart after a few seconds to reinitialize the COM port.

This setting controls how long the program will wait for an answer from central.
A timeout may occur if a long time elapses before a response is received from the
central system or another remote terminal unit. The response time in the menu can
be increased to prevent this; however, it is recommended that this value (8
seconds) should not be changed unless absolutely necessary.

The way trends are sampled in the RTU may be changed. In some stations with
rapid pump-cycles even changing the trend sample rate to one minute may be too
long. In this case it is possible to extend the sampled trend in two ways.
Trend method

The pumps can be remote-controlled from the central system. The option of
starting and stopping the pumps manually is available on the status picture. When
remote control is selected, the RTU pump control function is inoperable. When a
pump is started remotely, pump control returns to auto mode when the picture is
closed. The remote control break delay prevents the RTU from setting the pump
in auto mode after a closed picture. It is then possible to control the pumps
remotely without the need of an open status picture.
Remote break
0 min
The remote break delay default value.
A pump that is started with a remote command will always stop at the normal stop
level or low level float. It will also stop on any pump failure. The pump will then
return to automatic mode.
A pump that is stopped with remote command will stay stopped until the status
picture is closed and the remote break delay is elapsed. The pump will then return
to automatic mode and start as normal.
! Care is always required when operating the pumps manually from the central
system.

The RTU may generate an alarm in different situations as part of pump station
monitoring. The alarm may be due, for example, to the absence of an operating
response, but may also be activated by internal monitoring functions. See 18
"Appendix D - List of alarms" for a list of the alarms in the RTU.
" # ( +$ ( '$
Two alarms are generated in most alarm situations; one when the condition is
fulfilled i.e. when the alarm is activated, one when the alarm is passive. In a few
alarm situations, the alarm is generated only when the condition is fulfilled. One
example of this second type is the "Warm start" alarm.
" # $
An RTU alarm can be assigned one of four different priorities, A, B, C or D. In
some special cases the alarm may also have priority E and H. In most cases, these
are used as described below. The Alarm distribution menu described below
determines the alarms that are to be transmitted.
" # (
Most alarms are in service directly when the RTU is commissioned. The
monitoring of analogue values requires alarm limits to be entered for them. The
various alarm limits and their respective functions are described in other parts of
this document.
""# '
Each alarm can be delayed for a period during which the alarm condition shall be
fulfilled before the alarm is generated. A delay is used to ‘filter out’ disturbances
of a temporary nature in the system. No general rule can be given regarding a
suitable delay since the setting will be dependent on station configuration.
However, approx. 10 seconds is a normal setting.

Alarm hysteresis is another method of filtering out undesired, superfluous alarms.
Hysteresis, which is applied to analogue alarm limits, specifies the amount by
which the measured value must change for an alarm to be deactivated.

An alarm generated when the alarm condition is fulfilled is recorded in the alarm
log, which accommodates 1000 alarms. If a greater number of alarms are
generated, the earliest alarm will be overwritten. You can view the alarm log by
displaying the Alarm log menu.

Note: Active alarms are not cleared from the log or the central system. Alarms are
sent to the central system independent of the alarms in the alarm log.
There is no need to delete alarms to make space for new alarms. If the alarm
buffer becomes full, the oldest alarm will be overwritten. The only reason to
delete alarms is to make it easier to find new alarms.

The lowermost led on the Alarm Panel is used as a general alarm led. This means
that it will begin to flash as soon as a new alarm has been recorded in the alarm
log. Always scroll through the alarm log to check for new alarms when this led
flashes. When the alarm log is checked, the LED turns off if the alarm has been
acknowledged from the alarm panel.
* $ : 2
The RTU incorporates a function for testing the integrity of all of the led on the
alarm panel. Press and hold the alarm acknowledgement button until the LEDs
begin to flash. The LEDs will revert to normal operation when the button is
released.

A printer can be connected directly to the unit and alarms printed out as they are
generated. Note that this does not include alarms received before the printer is
connected.
The printer, which must be of the serial type, is connected to COM1 or COM4.
Select communication mode Alarm printer in the communications menus. See
3.3.4 "Communication selections".
* # $
The alarms in the RTU may be indicated with an output. There are three variants
on the output with slightly different functions.
Alarm pulse One pulse on every new alarm. A short pulse on the output is generated on
every new active flank on A, B or D alarms. The length of the pulse may be
set in a menu.
Alarm status Shows the status of alarms. The alarm output will work the same way as an
alarm LED. Low - no alarms, pulse - active not acknowledged alarms, high -
active alarms. Alarms are acknowledged on the RTU panel.
Alarm active Shows if there are any active alarms. The output will be high as long as there
is an A, B or D alarm active.
Only A, B or D alarms are used with the output. If an alarm is set to C it will not
affect the output.
Alarms with only an active flank and no passive flank like Warm start will not
affect the output.

Alarms are transmitted to the central system via a dedicated or dial-up connection.
Alarms to be transmitted are stored in a buffer. If the buffer becomes full, the
earliest alarm will be overwritten by the most recent but this will only happen if
the connection to the central system is lost for several days.
A dial-up RTU can also be configured to call a pager directly. The selection to
send to the pager is made in the telephone number by entering the special
character "&" in the first position. See 3.6.4 "Telephone numbers to CS/Pager".
- ' ; %<
If an RTU is connected to the central system by a dedicated connection, the CS
will transmit alarm queries to the RTU. Any alarms in the buffer will then be
transmitted.
- , $
In the case of a dial-up connection, the RTU will dial to the CS or pager as soon
as an alarm is created. For this purpose, the alarm receiver’s telephone number
must be entered in the “Telno:1 CS/PAGE” menu in the major menu group, which
contains two telephone number menus.
- =
The RTU contains two menus for telephone numbers. In the event of an alarm, the
RTU rings the first number stored in the first menu. This number may go to the
CS or pager. If this is unsuccessful, the unit will make further attempts to call the
same number, with a pause between each attempt. The number of attempts is
controlled by two menus “Number of calls CS” and “Number of calls to pager”.
When the RTU rings and the call fail, the first pause will be 1 minute long.
Thereafter, the pause duration will increase by one minute on each occasion.

If the RTU fails to transmit the alarm to the telephone number in the first menu,
further attempts will be made to call the number in the next menu. If this is also
unsuccessful, dialling will be blocked (A). The blocking time is set in the Pager
cycle menu.
After the blocking the RTU will recommence the sequence from the beginning i.e.
making new attempts to call the number in each menu. The RTU will continue to
attempt to report the alarm until it succeeds.
The CS will automatically acknowledge if the alarm is successfully transmitted to
the CS the alarm.
If the alarm is transmitted to a pager then the RTU will wait for acknowledge
from the user. The time the RTU will wait is set in the Pager acknowledge time
menu.
If the user fails to acknowledge the alarm the RTU will try the next telephone
number in the sequence.

An alarm can be transmitted to the central or alarm system, or simply recorded in
the RTU. The appropriate setting is made in the Transmit alarm menu in the main
menu group.
Transmit alarm

A telephone number may contain up to 20 characters, including the type of
dialling and "pause" characters.
The following characters are used to enter the telephone number correctly:
Character Explanation
& Used in Paging systems numbers. The ‘&’ character must always be
first in the string if this telephone number is a paging number.
Otherwise the system assumes that the alarm should be transmitted to
a Mtc-Com or AquaView.
T The RTU transmits digits using tones in what is known as DTMF tone
dialling, which is the most common mode. The DTMF tone dialling
character must be first in the string when calling the central system
but in second position in paging numbers. If the paging system uses a
telephone number to the paging central and this is a paging number
then do NOT use this character.
, The RTU pauses for 2 seconds, e.g. to dial 0 for an outside line. A
pause can be inserted at any point in the telephone number. Several
pauses may also be inserted in succession. If the paging system uses a
telephone number to the paging central and this is a paging number
then do NOT use this character.

It is possible to change the alarm priority and alarm code locally on the RTU. This
is normally done by sending the "Alarm code filter" from AquaView. Three
menus are used for this function. You enter the alarm code of the menu you want
to change in the first menu and then you set the priority and code in the following
two menus.

Personnel alarm.
A switch (A) connected to the personnel alarm input, usually the station lighting
switch, is operated when work begins (B) in the station, starting a countdown of
the specified working period. The output buzzer (C) is activated shortly (D) when
the period starts and then when the period has elapsed (E). Some type of warning
signal should be connected to this output. The switch should be opened (F) when
the warning is received and then closed again to begin a new working period (G).
Failure to acknowledge the buzzer signal will start the output siren (I) and send an
alarm to the central system (H).
The working and warning periods are set in the “Pers. Alarm Warning” and “Pers.
Alarm Delay” menus, and can also be set from the central system. If the periods
are changed while the switch is closed, the new settings will not apply until the
switch has been opened.
The personnel alarm is dialled out to the central system or paging in all cases,
regardless of the alarm mode selected.

Intruder alarm using intruder sensor and RTU password.
The other way to use the intruder alarm is to use both intruder sensor input (A)
and RTU password (B). The use of the buzzer (C) and siren (D) outputs are
optional. If the intruder sensor gets high (E) the alarm (F) will be created after the
intruder delay (G). In this case it a low signal on the intruder alarm will not stop
the alarm. Enter the password (H) in the RTU to stop the alarm. The RTU will
show the password menu automatically. The alarm is deactivated as long as the
sensor input is active or as long as the RTU display is active. The intruder alarm is
activated again two minutes after the sensor input is low (I) and the display of the
RTU is off. Sensor input will be ignored during this period (J). The output signal
will be activated for a short beep when the sensor is activated (K) and also when
the alarm is turned off by entering the password (L). When the alarm is created
the siren output will be permanently high (M) until the alarm is deactivated by
entering the password in the RTU.
It is possible to connect intruder sensor and personnel on site signals to the same
input. It is also possible to connect buzzer and siren outputs to the same output.
See 3.2.3 "Selecting input functions".

To verify that the alarm distribution is working properly, it is possible to
configure the RTU to call out a test alarm. The test alarm has B-priority as

pumps have been in service for a number of hours. The length of the service
interval is entered in the Service interval pumps menu in the SERVICE
INTERVAL menu group. A service alarm will be generated if the pumps are in
service for an extended period.
The “Time after service” menus show how long the pumps have been in service
since the last service. The service interval can be set from the central system.

The range is specified in the max level (A) and min level (B) menus in the
LEVEL group menu. The range of the sensor (C) is max level minus min level.
Min Level is set to the distance from the bottom (D) of the sump to the level
sensor.
Max Level is set to the operating span of the transducer plus the offset from the
bottom of the well.
! If the pump sump walls are inclined in the normal pumping range it is important
to enter the true value for minimum and maximum level to get a correct value on
the inflow and capacity calculation.
Max level normally corresponds to the maximum sensor value 20 mA. Min level
corresponds to the value 4 mA. It is possible to change the maximum and
minimum sensor values 20 and 4 mA if different level sensors need to be
connected. These values are changed if calibration is done.

Low, very low, high and very high level alarm limits are required to enable the
level alarms to be monitored. These limits are entered in the High level alarm and

which pump the current is from. If both pumps are running the currents are split
using the power value of the pump.
The current inputs are selectable. The following options exist:
A2=1,A3=2,A4=3+4 P1 P2 P3 and P4
A2=1+2,A3=3,A4=4 P1 and P2 P3 P4

There are also the possibilities of getting alarms if the currents are too high or too
low, the limits are entered in High current P1 to P4 and Low current P1 to P4
menus. In order to avoid repeated alarms if the current is varying around the alarm
limit, the value in the menus Curr. Hyst. P1 to P4 can be used to avoid these
unnecessary alarms. For a more comprehensive description of this function called
hysteresis see 3.4.5 "Alarm hysteresis" for a description. Current alarms are

Many of the programs have the possibility to connect a general analogue signal.
This could be used for example to measure different flows, pH, current,
temperature or pressure. It is possible to use the input to replace internal
calculations for inflow, outflow, overflow or current on one or two pumps.
* $ $
The Maximum value and Minimum value menus must be adjusted to ensure that
the transmitter reads the correct value.
It is possible to select different options on this analogue. The options are:
General The analogue is used as a general input. No unit will be used when the value is
presented. The volume calculation will be turned off.
Flow The analogue is used to measure a flow. The volume of the flow will be
calculated.
Pumpflow The analogue is used to measure the station pump flow. This will replace the
pump flow calculated by the program using only the pump capacities. The flow
will be used to monitor pump capacities and alarms and to calculate pumped
volume.
Inflow The analogue is used to measure the station inflow. This will replace the inflow
calculated by the program using the level sensor.
Overflow The analogue is used to measure the station overflow. This will replace the
overflow calculation by the program using the level and overflow sensors. If the
overflow sensor is used this will be used to start the overflow monitoring. If the
overflow sensor is not used the overflow will start when the flow is larger than 1
GPM. This requires the analogue to be trimmed to be accurate on 4 mA or else it
Current The analogue is used to measure a current. If this is used on a four pump station
the current may be used to replace one or two currents for the pumps. See 5.2.4
"Current input options on 4 pump stations without Siox S48" for more

An object may be controlled by the analogue signal. Enter values in the Start
value analogue and Stop value analogue to activate the digital output. This output
may be used for example to control an external object or to block the pumps.
The output is active either by high level or low level. The function depends on the
order of the start and stop levels. If the start level is higher than the stop level then
the output will be activated when the analogue is higher than the start level and it
will be de-activated when the analogue is lower than the stop level. If the start
level is lower that the stop level the output will be reversed. The output will in this
case be activated when the analogue signal is lower than the start level and

Starting the pumps at the same levels in every instance creates a risk of fouling
build-up in the sump. This is prevented by specifying a Random start span in the

When the level activates the high level float, a backup function intervenes to start
a pump. When the level switch signal disappears, a timer function is initiated to
ensure that the pumps continue to run for at least the specified time. This time is
specified in the high level run time menu.
High Level Run
Time 10 s
The high level run time menu.
When the timer runs out the pumps will ether continue to run or stop depending
on the level signal. The main purpose of the function is to secure the pumping
even if the level sensor fails to work. The most common fail on the sensor will
make the level show zero. This will stop the pumps when the high level runtime
timer runs out. If the level sensor works as normal the pumps will continue to run
and stop at the normal stop level.
The pumps are not started if the time is set to zero. In this case only the alarm is
created.
The number of pumps that start will depend on the setting in the maximum
running pumps menu. It is possible to select exactly which pumps to start at the
high level float. See 7.3.5 "Special control options" for possibilities on how to
customize pump operation.

The response error delay controls the time it takes to switch to another pump if the
response signal should fail to appear. At the same time the response alarm is
created. The switching of pumps only occurs within alternating pumps. If the
pump is not alternating the program will only create the alarm and try to run the
pump without the response signal. The program will prefer pumps without
response error when it starts alternating pumps but it will try to start them if more
pumps need to be started. The alarm will clear (be passive) when the response
signal appears the next time.
The delay is also used to remove the over current alarm that may otherwise be
trigged when the pump starts.

The start delay and stop delay can be applied to filter out pump control
disturbances. The delay is the interval between the occurrence of the starting
condition and the instant of starting. Specifying a delay prevents the pumps from
starting as the result of a disturbance.
Specifying a stopping delay will eliminate unnecessary stopping of the pumps.
The stopping delay is specified in the Stopping delay menu.

The alternation used is not based on a fixed starting sequence. When alternation is
active the exact alternating order will be based on the starting and stopping times.
The pump selected to start will be the one that has been still the longest time
within the current pump cycle. The pump selected to stop will be the one that has
been running the longest time in this pump cycle. If the pump is started manually
it will influence the order.
The alternation is also used when two or more pumps are running. The pumps
alternate also on high inflow situations where many pumps are running for a
longer time.
This method will cause the pumps to start the same amount of times, the running
times may however be different if the pump size is not equal.
The first pump is started on the lowest stating level, the second pump on the
second lowest level and so on. The pumps stopped in the same way, if all pumps
are running the first pump is stopped on the highest stopping level and the last
pump is stopped on the lowest stopping level. If only one pump is running it is
stopped on the lowest stopping level. This is illustrated in the following pictures.

These options are useful if the station use different sized pumps. With these
options it is possible to set up a station to use the small pump first and when the
inflow gets higher use only the larger pump and finally use both pumps on high

In a four pump station it is possible to set up many combinations of small and big
pumps.
An example:
A two pump station with a small pump P1 and a large pump P2. The small pump
P1 runs most of the time and P2 takes over on higher flows. P1 is blocked by P2.
On high inflows both pumps work together.
Setup will be, alternation: P1 start first, P1 blocked by P2 and P1 using extra

numbers means that the pumps are running in parallel.
The result is a station where P1 is pumping the most time to save energy. The cost
of using P1 is lower that P2 because of the lower energy consumption on a

The APF cleaning function runs the pump to the absolute minimum water level in
the sump - the point at which air is drawn into the impeller. The pump is then able
to draw off the dirt and grease which normally settles on the surface of the water.
By operating down to this minimum water level, the pump also creates turbulence
in the water as the air is sucked into the pump, and this turbulence agitates any
sludge layer which has formed on the sump floor, allowing this, too, to be drawn
off.
The APF function requires that currents are monitored for the pumps.

When the water in the sump has dropped to such a level that the pump begins to
draw air, the motor current will drop. The APF function detects this and stops the

values are shown in the nominal current menus and serve as reference values.

The current is analysed by two different methods, each of which can lead to
stopping of the pump. One of these detects a drop in the current in relation to the

Both stop functions are active by default but it is possible to deactivate each of
them in the special control option menu for each pump. See 7.3.5 "Special control

The shape and size of the sump must be defined to enable the RTU to calculate
the pump flows and capacities. This is done by specifying the surface area at
different levels. It is important to specify the surface areas at those levels at which
the sump changes shape. The uppermost surface area should be located above the
highest possible level in the sump. Up to five different levels can be specified. If
the sump has straight walls, it may be sufficient to specify the surface area at two
levels. The following are some examples of how the pump surface is defined for
different sump shapes.

The first example deals with a sump with straight walls. In this case, two surface
areas are sufficient to define the configuration.

The sump in this example has straight walls and a tapered bottom section. To
define a sump of this shape, the surface area must be specified at three levels, at
the bottom, at the transition point between the tapered and straight sections, and in
the top section.
As before, assume that the calibration range is 0 – 12.00 ft, also that the transition
point between the tapered and straight sections is located at 1.50 ft. Suitable levels
at which to specify the surface area are thus (1) 0 ft, (2) 1.50 ft and (3) 10.00 ft
(see illustration).

Capacity measurement is carried out when pumping lowers the level in the sump.
For the purpose of calculation, the range in which it is to be carried out i.e. the
levels at which measurement is to be started and stopped, must be specified. It is
not possible to propose the exact location of the capacity measurement range since
this is a function of many factors, which may be unique to each pumping station.
To ensure accuracy, however, the measurement period must not be too short.
Capacity measurement must take at least 30 seconds and should not be longer
than 9 minutes.
As a guideline, the range should be approx. 15% of the pumped range. Capacity
measurement should commence somewhat below the lowest starting level, or
Starting level 1, while the distance between Starting level 1 and the start of
capacity measurement is usually approx. 10% of the pumped range.

A conventional level switch or an overflow transmitter can be used to record
overflow. If a switch is chosen, the RTU will record the overflow period and the
number of overflows. There is a delay of 15 sec before the calculation starts to
prevent faulty values. A transmitter should be installed if the overflow flow is also
to be recorded since this device will provide more accurate values than a level
switch.
When selecting a transmitter, it is important to specify a type, which has a very
high accuracy and is insensitive to changes in atmospheric pressure, fouling,
floating sludge and foaming. The transmitter must also be completely
submersible.
To enable the RTU to calculate the overflow quantity, the height of the overflow
range must be entered and the overflow curve defined. This is done by specifying
the flow, which will occur at different overflow levels. Instead of entering the

The blocking functions in the RTU are used mainly to prevent overflows in
unsuitable stations. When the flows from several stations converge and the station
there is not dimensioned to handle the total flow this function may be used to
improve the situation. It is also used to avoid overflows in especially sensitive
receivers.
The blocking functions work in principle by sending messages between the RTU's
to stop one or more of the stations from pumping. The messages may be sent by
telephone calls or by fixed line. The condition that is used to generate and send
the blocking message is highly configurable. The action carried out may be to stop
one or more pumps or to set an output signal that does something else. The
flexibility of the function makes it possible to use it in other ways than blocking.

In normal state, the menu Block status displays the text Not Blocked. If the RTU
has been blocked by another RTU the text will be changed to Blocked. When the
RTU has been unblocked the text Not blocked is shown again.
Blocked status
Blocked
Station blocked.
To reset the blocking, change the value to "not blocked". This menu can also be
used to block the station. This can be used for example to test the blocking
functions.

It is possible to choose activity when an RTU has received a blocking command
from another RTU. The pumps are normally blocked when a remote block
command is received. To disable blocking of a pump, set the "Not tele blocked"
option in the special control menu for the pump. See 7.3.5 "Special control
options" on how to do this.
The blocked output is activated by default. The output has to be selected on most
programs. See 3.2.4 "Selecting output functions".

These menus are only used in fixed line communication. Select the station to
receive blocking commands from by entering the station fixed line ID. The ID to
enter is found in the menu "ID fixed line" in the sending station.
Blocked by ID

Blocking commands in fixed line communication is using the AquaCom telegram
TIO. In this telegram there are possibilities to get values from other RTUs
connected to another fixed line network. See the Mtc-Com manual on how to use
this function.

If the transmission fails, the RTU attempts to reach the other RTU as long as the
blocking conditions are fulfilled. To increase safety two menus are used. The first
in the sending/blocking RTU is a repeat of the blocking command. The second in
the receiving/blocked RTU is a timeout of the blocked command. Both or none of
the menus has to be used.
Repeat block.
#### min
Menu to repeat the blocking command.
Set this menu and the RTU will send repeated blocking commands with this
interval. Do not set this menu shorter than the time it takes to dial all blocked
stations.
Timeout block.
#### min
Menu to remove the blocking command.
The timeout of the blocking will unblock (remove the blocking command) from
the station. If the communication for some reason fails the RTU will resume
normal pumping after this time. When the blocking command is repeated the time
out will restart. The time out has to be longer than the repeat block time in the
blocking RTU.

The energy calculations show used energy in kWh, current power in kW and
specific energy in kWh/MG. The specific energy is the cost of pumping a specific
amount of water. It is calculated by using the pumped flow and current power
consumption.
Energy
######## kWh tot
Used energy.
Energy is shown as total, daily and yesterdays values.
Power
######.# kW
Current power.
Specific energy
##.### kwh/MG
Calculated specific energy.
The specific energy is the key cost of pumping. This value and the power are
calculated momentarily and presented as historical trend.

The energy calculation requires either a pulse input or current sensors or both.
Select measuring method in the menu:
Energy method
################
Menu for selecting measuring method.
Options are:
Pulse only Measured values are calculated using only a digital input pulse.
Current & pulse Measured values are calculated using both a digital input pulse and
the currents of the pumps. The pulse is used for calculation of the
consumed energy and the pump currents are used for calculation of
the used effect and specific energy.
Current only Measured values are calculated using only the currents of the pumps.
If currents are used as energy measuring method the power factor for the pumps
and the voltage of the pumps is needed for the calculation. As the power factor of
the pumps may differ from installation to installation there is a menu for each
pump where the power factor of the pump may be entered. The power factor
menus are Cos phi pumps. The value for different pumps is often printed on the
fact sheet belonging to the pump. The energy is calculated with the use of the
value in menu Voltage and the measured currents of the pumps.
If a pulse input is used as energy measuring method the only value needed is the
pulse scale. Enter the energy of each pulse in the menu:
Energy scale
##.### kWh/pulse
Scaling of energy pulse.

The program is equipped with two timer functions. Each timer function is
controlled by one digital input and controls one digital output. The two timer
functions are equal.
There is one menu for each timer function to select operation for the timer. There
are six functions to select and there are also two menus for each timer to select
time delays.
I = Timer input signal.
O = Timer output signal.
D1 = Pulse delay.

The pumps can be operated by remote control as required. In this case, the units
are not controlled by level, but in response to commands from the workstation.
Only when the connection is switched out does pump control revert automatically
to RTU.
