Predictive Alarms Examples—Pump Avatar

The following are working examples of how to set up Predictive Alarms for the Pump avatar . Combining the protection functions and PV Input conditions allows you to set up example Predictive Alarms for the Pump avatar as shown below. Remember, these are only examples. Predictive Alarms can be customized to provide more accurate alarms for an avatars specific application.

Examples of Predictive Alarm Messages—Pump Avatar

Protection Type	Alarm Input Sensor Type
	Temperature	Pressure	Flow	Vibration		Generic Alarms
	PV Input Trigger
	PVInput < Low Temperature	PVInput < Low Pressure	PVInput < Low Flow	PVInput1 < Low Flow Value, and PVInput2 > High Vibration	PVInput > High Vibration	All PVInput Triggers = None (not configured)
Thermal Overload	High Viscosity	X	Friction Force Increase	Impeller Jam	Check alignment or bearings	Mechanical seal or bent shaft, or impeller jam
Motor Overheat	X	Dry run or seals worn out	Material in impeller or heavy sludge (sand/silt)	Dry run or inspect line for blockage or closed valve	Check alignment or bearings	No cooling or high ambient temp or tight seal alarm, or multiple starts without cool-time
Jam	X	Cut-out fused, hose blocked, clogged, or frozen, or has come off one end	Impeller jam	Valve stuck, or blocked impeller. Suction intake or leakage.	Inspect impeller	Impeller jam or broken, or check transducers or air-locked
Undercurrent	X	Dry run	Clogged inlet, or inspect line for closed valve	Cavitation or dry run	Inspect impeller	Check coupling, inspect line for blockage, or check inlet
Overcurrent	High Viscosity	Pump run-out or broken pipe	Closed discharge valve or discharge cavitation	X	Check alignment or bearings	Binding shaft or bad bearings, or check impeller
None	Low PV Temperature	Low PV pressure	Low PV flow	No flow and high PV vibration	High PV vibration	X
