continuously.

stop.

8.6.15 Max. number of starts/hour (4.2.1)
Max. number of starts/hour
Description
The function limits the number of pump starts and stops per hour for
the complete system. It reduces noise emission and improves the
comfort of systems with mains-operated pumps.
Each time a pump starts or stops, CU 352 calculates when the next
pump is allowed to start/stop in order not to exceed the permissible
number of starts per hour.
The function always allows pumps to be started to meet the
requirement, but pump stops will be delayed, if needed, in order
not to exceed the permissible number of starts per hour.
The time between pump starts must be between the minimum time
between start and stop, see section Min. time between start/stop
(4.2.1), and 3600/n, n being the set number of starts per hour.
Setting range
1 to 1000 starts per hour.
Setting via the operating panel
• Settings > Pump cascade control > Max. number of starts/
hour.
1. Set:
• Min. time between start/stop.
• Max. number of starts/hour.
Factory settings
MPC-E: 200 starts per hour
Other variants: 100 starts per hour
This function has no influence on Stop function.
