OP ERA T IO N
This controller can perform control functions for most Dual Pump pumping applications. It is more than likely that the
control parameters have already been set up for your particular application, however, hereunder you will find details
of the setup and configuration options.
There are 6 DIP switches located on the lower side of the control module, which allows for selecting “mode” and
“feature”options, as per the following table:
1/2 Off/Off Mode A: Standard typical float switch configuration (Start, Stop and High Level). No Low Level
Off/On Mode B: Standard configuration plus low level (Start, Stop, High Level, Low Level).
On/Off Mode C: Standard configuration plus Prime Loss enabled, on Low Level (Input 1)
On/On Mode D: Pressure Pumping configuration (Lead, Lag and Low Pressure)
3 Off Operating Pump alternates each time a pump start is triggered, or after 30 minutes continuous running.
On When placed in Manual Mode after 5 minutes the pump will revert to Auto
6 Off High Level Alarm automatically resets upon open circuit of high level input. High Level alarm
has 15 minute delay.
On High Level Alarm can only be reset manually. High Level Alarm has 5 minute delay.
In addition to this, there is a maximum idle timer, which will trigger a Pump Start condition, if either pump has not run
for 4 hours, and the Stop Float Contacts are closed. The pump will continue to run until the Stop Float Contacts open.
Input functions are as follows:
Input Function
Input 1 Standby Start
Input 2 Pump Stop
Input 3 Pump Start
Input 4 High Level
Input Function
Input 1 Low Level
Input 2 Pump Stop
Input 3 Pump Start
Input 4 High Level

The basic logic on which a High or Low Level Alarm is determined, is set out in the Table below:
If there is a Low Level Alarm, then both Pumps will be locked out until the alarm is manually reset. This lockout will only
be over ridden upon a High Level condition where both the Pump Start and High level inputs are closed.
Note that after a High level is triggered, the pumps will both run until the Pump Start and Stop inputs are opened

Input 1 Prime Loss
Input 2 Pump Stop
Input 3 Pump Start
Input 4 High Level

In pressure pump mode some of the optional features are disabled, including maximum run alternation, anti-seize
and maximum idle timers
Mode ‘Current Loop’: Level Transducer (4-20mA) Configuration
In order to activate current loop mode the enclosure must be opened and jumper J10 moved to the “current loop
enabled” position (as shown in the following picture). By selecting current loop input mode the pump start input can
be connected to a 4-20mA loop powered pressure transducer. The pump start, stop and high level signals can then
be received from the pressure transmitter instead of float switches. In this mode the pump stop float switch input will
be ignored however the high level input will still operate as per normal so that a float switch can be used as backup
if desired. The start, stop and high level current set points will be pre-programmed into the software and therefore
can only be adjusted with the advanced HMI. The levels for a 0-4m transducer are Stop= 300mm, Start= 600mm and
High= 1000mm. With the advanced HMI the current level will be displayed on the main screen.

Anti-Seize Timer
With DIP Switch 4 set to “On”, the Anti-seize timer will automatically run the pumps for 6 seconds, every 7 days. This
pump operation will completely override all inputs including the low level (if enabled). This feature will only run pumps
that are set in Auto. This “Pump Run”, will alternate between Pump 1 and Pump 2. A pump that has been-locked out
due to a fault will not run.
Manual Mode Timeout
With DIP Switch 5 set to “On” the pump will only remain in Manual Mode for 5 minutes, after which time, it automatically
reverts to Auto.
High Level Alarm Reset
With DIP Switch 6 set to “Off”, the High Level Alarm will automatically reset once the High Level input opens circuit.
The controller will also use the alternate High Level Alarm Delay. Typically used for Storm Water applications. High
Level Alarm delay in this mode is 15 minutes. Setting this DIP Switch to “On”, will cause the High level Alarm to
remain active until the controller is reset. The High Level Alarm will use the standard High Level Alarm activation delay.
Typically used for Sewerage applications. High Level Alarm delay in this mode is 5 minutes.
Audible and Visual Alarm Test
By pressing the Mute/Reset button on the Keypad continuously for a period of 5 seconds, the Strobe, Siren and
indicator Lights will be powered up for inspection.
Fault Reset
To reset all faults on the controller, press and old the Mute/Reset button on the Keypad continuously for a period of 3
seconds until an acknowledgment beep is heard.
Pump Fault
A Pump Fault is indicated for two types of faults. A Thermal Overload will be indicated by way of a steady Fault
Indicator Light when the overload opens the contact for 3 seconds. Prime loss will be indicated by flashing the pump
fault light slowly.
Level Alarms
A High Level Alarm is indicated by way of a steady Level Alarm Indicator Light.
A Low Level/Low pressure Alarm is indicated by way of a Flashing Level Alarm Light.
Auto Silencing Alarm Feature
The audible Alarm is programmed to sound for 5 minutes continuously, unless muted and will thereafter automatically
silence and enter “Chirp” mode. In “Chirp” mode, the Audible Alarm will sound briefly (2 seconds) every 5 minutes.

HMI OPERATION
DUAL PUMP CONTROL
PUMP 1 PUMP 2
AUTO AUTO
Running Idle
When power is applied the HMI immediately starts up, displaying a “splash screen” with the Matelec logo and software
revision is displayed for several seconds. Once the splash screen disappears the HMI will then display the main screen
which gives an overview of the system.
While the HMI is operating it must always be connected to a controller in order to read the necessary data that it needs
to display. If it is unable to communicate with the controller the HMI begin to flash both indicator LEDS and notify the
user on the LCD. The user will be unable to operate the HMI until the communication link is restored.
During normal operation the user is able to access many different functions related to both the attached controller
and the Modbus interface. The following sections present the various menus used by the HMI and describe their use.
Navigation between the menu screens is performed using the left and right arrows, which cycles through each of the
screens in the following order:
1. Main screen (pump auto/off/manual control)
2. Alarms
3. Input and 4-20mA states
4. View logged data
5. Reset logged data *
6. View functional parameters
7. Edit functional parameters
8. Edit configuration settings *
9. System information and serial number *
* Lines marked with an asterisk require entry of a PIN number for access.
Note that many of the menu screens feature a prompt along the bottom of the display which outlines basic button
functions.
During pump mode selection the mode of the selected pump (AUTO,OFF or MANUAL) will flash. Pressing the up and
down buttons will change the mode of the selected pump, whereas pressing the left and right buttons will select the
pump. Pressing OK will accept the selection and return to the main screen.
1.2 Alarms
The alarms screen reports any alarm conditions and provides the user with a method to reset them. If there are no
alarms active then the screen will appear as shown on the left image. This provides an opportunity for the operator to
trigger an alarm test. Pressing the OK button will cause the controller to activate its siren and strobe outputs, plus all
LEDs on a keypad (if used) for 5 seconds. After this alarm test completes the alarms will return to normal operation.
7
ALARMS ALARMS
No alarms Alarm: High level
Alarm: Pump 1 fault
Press OK for alarm test
If any alarms are active the alarm screen will appear as shown on the right image above and list up to 5 of the active
alarms. When the alarm triggers the controller will activate its siren and strobe outputs. The alarm LED on the HMI will
also flash. The siren will silence after 5 minutes of continual sounding, however it can be immediately silenced by pressing
the mute button on the HMI.
Most alarms in the controller are latching, that is the alarm remains active even if the alarm condition has
passed / corrected. In order to reset the alarm the OK button needs to be pressed when the Alarms screen is selected.

1.6 Parameters
The Function Parameters screen operates identically to the Logged Data screen, but instead presents all of the
operation parameters for the controller. Refer to the APC6 specifications for details regarding each of the parameters.
The up and down buttons are used to scroll through the list.

1.9 4-20mA Display Modes
When the APC6 current loop mode is enabled the HMI is able to report the current 4-20mA reading (this is shown on
the inputs menu screen). In addition, it can convert this reading into one of two types of scale: metres or kPa. The
metres scale can be adjusted for a maximum range of 0.1 to 25.0 metres (in 0.1m increments) and the kPa scale can
be adjusted for a maximum range of 10 to 2500kPa in 10kPa increments.
SYSTEM INFORMATION
DPC Serial no: 00000000
DPC firmware rev: 1.01
The system information screen also facilitates changing the serial number – this is done by pressing the OK button.
Note that the PIN number is required to change the serial number.
0000
To enter the PIN number, simply use the left and right buttons to select the digit and the up and down buttons to change
the digit. The default PIN number is 1234.
Note that there is no penalty for entering an incorrect PIN – the HMI will simply return to the previous screen and the
opportunity to enter the PIN will again be presented.

MODBUS COMMUNICATIONS
Modbus is a serial communications protocol originally designed for use PLCs. Simple and robust, it has since become
one of the de facto standard communications protocols in the industry, and it is now amongst the most commonly
available means of connecting industrial electronic and control devices.
Certain Modbus operations require the HMI to initiate further communications with the attached controller and this can
take significantly more time than other operations for the controller to respond. For this reason a timeout period of no
less than 1000ms should be used. If the Modbus connection is being used for monitoring only (rather than monitoring
and control) then the timeout can be reduced to 500ms.
* Address ranges marked with an asterisk can only be written to with the value 0x0000 for logged data or 0x0000 to
0x0002 for pump modes.
