6.12 Antiseizing
The Anti-seizing function prevents a pump from choking or seizing
up as a result of deposits buildup. Anti-seizing is used in pits that
have had no inlet flow for a long period. The Anti-seizing function
ensures that the pump starts as often as set in Anti-seizing > >
Interval. The pump will operate for the number of seconds
indicated by the user.
6.12.1 Setting the "Anti-seizing" function with Grundfos GO
Remote
1.
Go to Settings > Anti-seizing.
2.
Set the function to Enabled.
3.
Set the time interval.
4.
Set the operating time.
6.13 Signal-detection time
The signal-detection time is the minimum time a level has to be
active before the control unit initiates an action, such as starting or
stopping a pump.
6.13.1 Setting the signal-detection time with Grundfos GO
Remote
1.
Go to Settings > Level control > Signal detection time.
2.
Set the signal-detection time.
6.14 Setting the maximum number of restarts with
Grundfos GO Remote
If the pump is seized up as a result of deposits buildup, it will be
stopped automatically due to overheating, provided that the motor
protection has been set. When the motor has cooled down, the
control unit will unsuccessfully try to restart the pump and this
scenario will be repeated.
In order to prevent this, it is possible to set a maximum number of
restart attempts within a set interval.
1.
Go to Settings > Max number of restarts.
2.
Enable the function.
3.
Set the interval within which the allowed number of restarts are
to be counted.
4.
Set the maximum number of pump restarts which are allowed
during the set interval.

Make sure that all settings are entered according to the

6.17.1 Overheat protection
The control unit offers thermal protection for the connected motors.
Two types of thermal-protection sensor can be connected to the
control unit: a PTC sensor (analog) and a thermal switch (digital).
Under normal running conditions, the sensor will act as a short
circuit, but when its temperature limit is reached, it will open and tell
the control unit that the temperature is too high, and the pump is
stopped. When the temperature has dropped to the sensor-trigger
