o Manual Reset Button. The VFC shall be equipped with a manual reset button, which is pressed upon correction of any of the above faults. o Red Light Indicator. The front cover of the VFC shall be clearly marked to define the abnormal conditions indicated by the flashing red light. o Green Light Indicator. The front cover of the VFC shall have a constant green light illuminated to indicate power is on. The green light flashing shall indicate that the motor is running. o The controller shall have the capability to be configured as: Stand Alone This configuration will allow the VFC to operate independently as a Stand Alone unit. Alternating Circuit (AC) This configuration will allow the VFC to continually alternate up to 16 lead pumps upon each start cycle in manifolded pumping systems. Master/Slave This configuration will allow the VFC to start up to 16 manifolded pumps on demand. Master/Slave systems shall have one VFC designated as the "Master' and all others as "Slave(s)". The Master shall automatically start the Slave pump(s) in the event that it can no longer support the pre -determined flow rate or an abnormal condition has occurred. MasterlSlave and AC This configuration allows the VFC to simultaneously operate as a Master/Slave & AC. • One VFC is required for each pump. • The VFC shall operate on 200-250 volt, single or 3-phase, 50 or 60 Hz. • The VFC shall have an RS 485 communications port for connection compatibility to electronic line leak detection/point of sale units manufactured by others, or other PC monitoring means. • FE Petro Inc. shall manufacture the pump and VFC. INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE • The pump shall have a three -wire field connection and an easy access ground wire terminal, and shall incorporate a wire seal plug which will accommodate all four wires. • The pump shall incorporate a port for line pressure testing that shall be sealed with a 1/4" NPT pipe plug. • The head of the pump shall contain a manual pressure relief screw to bleed static line pressure to zero through a flow path into the tank. This feature is required to avoid product escaping into the environment when opening the piping system for service when the piping is pressurized. • The pump unit shall have a fully extractable head in order to permit removal of the pump motor assembly without disturbing the discharge piping, product in the pipelines downstream of the check valve, syphoning system with syphon check valve installed, or the electrical wiring. • During the removal of the extractable portion of the pump, product contained in the discharge manifold of the pump shall drain automatically into the storage tank. • The product in the pipelines shall be held in place by a line check valve that shall have a minimum sealing force of 170 lbs. (77 kgs) when the pump is not running and a minimum 30 psi of pressure in the pipeline. • The line check valve shall be independent of the removable head and shall be easily accessible. OPERATION • The pump shall have an air/vapor elimination system that returns air or vapors to the underground storage tank through a tube discharging near the top of the pump motor assembly. • The pump unit shall contain a built-in expansion relief valve that relieves pressure at or above pumping pressure but below 50 psi (345 kpa) as standard. Other pressure relief settings shall be available. • The pump motor shall utilize the product being pumped for lubrication of the motor bearings and for cooling the stator, and this fluid shall discharge into the underground storage tank at the top of the motor. • The pump shall have syphon capability built into the pump. • The pump head shall have a 2" NPT threaded opening for the installation of mechanical line leak detectors or pressure transducers used in certain electrical line leak detectors.
