24-Pump, 128-Station Controller Chapter 6: Configurable Settings 69
6-3 Options for Pump Setup
Several of the items in this screen are not setup options but are instead intended for use
during operation. These items (hour meter and transferring stations to a standby pump) are
described in Chapter 4, “Operation.”
Name Description Options Default
Idle Time Options
Auto Shutdown Delay Length of time the pump continues to run
unloaded without demand from any station.
After this time has elapsed, the pump shuts
down to save power and to prevent wear on the
pump.
Adjust this setting to fit the needs of your facility
in trading off the savings against the costs
associated with waiting for a pump to start up
when there is a demand for material.

Pump fault #1 The ArmorBlock for each pump has two inputs
that you can wire to generate alarms for
situations of your choosing. These alarms can
be configured as standard or critical. Standard
means that the pump continues to operate.
Critical means that the pump is disabled.
For example, you may have a sensor that turns
on when material reaches the top of a filter-
chamber waste bin. When this option is
enabled, the controller issues an alarm if the
sensor wired to the input for Pump Fault #1
turns on.
Enable this option if and only if your facility has
installed a miscellaneous alarm on the input for
Pump Fault #1 for this pump.
