The dry run can be detected using the underload curve, low level mechanical switch
and pressure sensor.
• Underload curve - Detects the pump from getting dry and generates a warning or
fault.
• Low/high level mechanical switch - Indicates the water level in the pump
system through a digital input and generates a warning or fault.
• Pressure sensor - Connected to Supervision 1...3 through an analog input. The
output of supervision indicates the pump inlet getting dry and generates a warning
or fault.
