be loaded into each integrated drive, including pump flow, pump head and minimum pressure setting. The minimum pressure
setting is a value similar to a remote system sensor setting, if it were to be used. The Sensorless Control shall then set the pump
control curve to control the pump in an identical manner as control with a remote sensor feedback. For Sensorless Control the
remote system sensor is not required. The design parameters are to be entered into the integrated drive by means of the built-in
graphical user interface.
2. Duty Pump & Standby pumps with Remote Sensor or building system (BMS) control
Supply3 # 4300 Design Envelope model and 3 # system sensors, each with a pressure range and set point as
detailed on the drawings.
Supply an Armstrong IPS-5000 (3000, 9000) controller to control the pumps to satisfy all system sensor settings at the minimum
speed possible and at maximum efficiency under any flow conditions. Pump curves showing the staging points to maintain
maximum efficiency shall be supplied with the submittal data.
2. The IPS pump logic controller shall sequence the pumps based on a field adjustable interval of operating hours with a "bump-
less" transfer algorithm. The logic controller shall incorporate embedded logic to prevent hunting, pump flow surge, and motor
overloading. The logic shall incorporate an adjustable PID control loop. PID control at the VFD is not acceptable.
Should one vfd/pump unit fail, the appropriate alarm signal shall be activated. In the place of the failed assembly, a standby
vfd/pump unit shall be operated in variable speed mode.
3. The IPS controller shall have hand-off-automatic (H-O-A) control and should provide the option for a remote on/off signal from
a single dry type relay, or BMS communication signal.
4. The IPS pump logic controller shall provide a data-logging feature including alarms, and events (adjustment to system
parameters). The IPS pump logic controller shall offer the option for expanded memory of 4 megabytes for a rolling record of
system parameters at 10 second intervals, with a time stamp.

controller shall offer the option of gateways TCP/IP protocol connection for communication over the internet.
7. The IPS pump logic controller shall automatically disable any zone DP signals that are not within limits and alert the operator
of a possible transmitter failure. Should system failure be detected the pump speed will default to a pre-defined percent of full
speed (factory default loaded as 90% of full speed). The IPS pump logic controller shall have a minimum speed limit entered as
a field adjustable parameter, factory loaded default set to 30% of full speed.
Where selected, pump shall have the Sensorless Bundle which includes Sensorless control, Flow Readout, Constant Flow, and
Constant Pressure functionality. Sensorless control shall provide automatic speed control in variable volume systems without the
need for pump mounted (internal/external) or remotely mounted differential pressure sensor. The default operating mode under
Sensorless control shall be Quadratic Pressure Control (QPC) whereby head reduction with reducing flow will be according to a
quadratic control curve, the head at minimum flow being 40% of the design duty head. Control mode setting and
minimum/maximum head setpoints shall be user adjustable via a built-in programming interface. Flow Readout shall provide a
readout of the calculated flow rate on pump user interface, as well as to a BAS if connected. Constant Flow control shall
maintain the desired flow rate at varying pressures. Constant Pressure control shall maintain the desired pressure at varying
flow rates.
If the Energy Performance Bundle is selected, Auto-Flow Balancing and Maximum Flow Control functions shall be included to
optimize pump performance to site conditions for systems where pumps are generally oversized. The Energy Performance
Bundle is only available if the Sensorless Bundle is enabled. Auto-Flow Balancing shall automatically determine the control
curve between the design flow at the on-site system head, and the minimum (zero-flow) head that will typically be lowered
(reset). The Maximum Flow Control shall limit pump flow rate to a pre-set maximum for system equipment stability and resulting
energy savings.
If the Protection Bundle is selected, it shall protect flow sensitive equipment by setting minimum limits on the pump operation
through the Minimum Flow Control and Bypass Valve Control functions. The Protection Bundle is only available if the
Sensorless Bundle is enabled. The Minimum Flow Control shall limit the pump flow rate to a pre-set minimum to protect
equipment in the system from damage. The Bypass Valve Control can actuate a 2-way bypass valve to protect flow sensitive
equipment, bypassing the loads and re-circulating flow back to flow sensitive equipment, if the pre-set minimum flow rate is
reached.
If selected the Zone Optimization Bundle is designed for multi-zone HVAC systems where [max 2] system differential pressure
(DP) feedback sensors are required for circulating pump speed control and zone flow stability. The system pump controls will
ensure each sensor setting is maintained with as little over-pressure as possible.
If selected, the Dual Season Setup allows the heating and cooling parameters to be pre-set for pumps in 2-pipe systems for
quick and convenient changeovers.
If On-Site Pump Commissioning is selected, an Armstrong representative shall assist in setting up pump communication to the
BAS, adjust the pump parameters to on-site conditions, and perform warranty registration of pumps. Where Pump Manager
services are purchased, Armstrong representative shall set up the router and connection of multiple pumps to the network and
internet connection.
