Air flow monitoring for exhaust air systems

In many buildings, exhaust air systems ensure a significant reduction in harmful pollutants (in the air) and energy savings through heat/cold recovery systems. The effectiveness of the exhaust air system is determined by minimum air flows. Monitoring this parameter is therefore particularly important.

Retrofitting Pump Digitalization

Pumps are durable assets and are typically used over many years, sometimes even decades. In new installations, digital enhancements are often already integrated. The pump can then transmit data indicating potential issues or that can be utilized for optimized control. But what about the extensive inventory of pumps already in the field? To move sensibly towards digitalization, these pumps also need an 'update' to continue using them for many more years.

Our solution: Smart protection relays for pumps

KRIWAN protection relays provide a reliable and user-friendly solution for protecting and monitoring pumps, pump systems and submersible mixers in the water and wastewater industry. An internal memory records measured values and operating data of the pump. This data can be retrieved at any time on site via a digital interface using the INTspector app or worldwide by integrating them into the overall system controller.

INTSpector app

KRIWAN INTspector app

The KRIWAN INTspector app enables fast and targeted error and status diagnosis on site. You connect the KRIWAN protection relay to the app via a gateway (Bluetooth gateway or USB gateway) and can thus access all the important operating data of your pump and parameterize the sensor inputs.

You can use the app for the following functions:

  • Diagnostic data
  • PDF report
  • Data sheets
  • Enter flashing code
  • Change parameters
  • Send file

Change parameters

In the parameterization mode you can set the protection relay perfectly to your application. You can adjust the following parameters individually:

  • Switching frequency
  • Reset delay
  • Motor temperature
  • Temperature
  • Leakage
  • Phase monitoring
  • Analog input
  • Service interval
  • Undervoltage and overvoltage monitoring

Diagnostic data

The diagnostic data function provides an overview of the operating behavior of your pump. Events, operating times, switching cycles and current measured values ​​are stored in an internal memory and help with detailed analysis on site.

This gives you detailed information about

  • Motor status
  • Motor temperature
  • Leakage monitoring
  • Supply voltage
  • Operating time

You can also call up the event list and carry out a live diagnosis.

Live Diagnose

With the help of the live diagnosis, all measured sensor data can be tracked in real time and recorded over a longer period of time. This function supports you in the detailed error analysis on site and enables you to assess the current condition of your pump more precisely.

The following sensor signals can be called up live:

  • Motor temperature
  • Temperature
  • Leakage
  • Analog input

Continuous monitoring

It is important for the operator that the pump runs smoothly. Damage and failures are avoided by providing information on the condition of the pump at an early stage and taking countermeasures.

Wastewater systems face particular challenges, as leaks can not only mean financial losses, but also have an environmental impact. This is precisely where our customized leakage monitoring systems come in, enabling us to react to problems at an early stage and thus ensure the safety and efficiency of wastewater systems.

With KRIWAN's complete solution consisting of protection relays, Modbus gateway for networking and the INTspector app for parameterization, the condition of the pump is continuously monitored and automatically switched off before damage or failure occurs. This enables reliable and efficient system operation.

Why use a KRIWAN protection relay for pumps?

KRIWAN offers a complete solution from the protection relay, to the gateway for networking, to the INTspector app for parameterization: easy to implement, flexible and scalable, enabling you to perform condition monitoring for reliable and efficient system operation. This is the only way to increase the efficiency and service life of machines and systems.

The most frequently asked questions about our protection relays for pumps

What distinguishes KRIWAN pump protection relays from standard solutions on the market (relays)?

KRIWAN protection relays offer a reliable, user-friendly and digital solution for the protection and monitoring of pumps, pump systems and submersible motor agitators. An internal memory records measured values and operating data of the connected sensors. These can be called up via digital interface at any time on site with the KRIWAN INTspector app or worldwide through integration into the higher-level system control. The large number of inputs and outputs can be parameterized individually for each application. For example, the temperature inputs can be selected between PTC, Pt100, Pt1000 and bimetal. If an input is not used, it is deactivated by parameterization.

Which variants of KRIWAN protection relays are available for the water and wastewater industry?

For the water and wastewater industry, KRIWAN offers the Premium, Extended, Standard, Basic and Basic Ex protection relays, each with 2 different power supplies (AC/DC 24V and AC 100-240V). The variants differ in terms of functionality (see product overview).

What is the default setting of the KRIWAN pump protection relays?

All KRIWAN pump protection relays are supplied with a factory setting. These can be found on the respective product page in the download area as a parameter list. The parameterization can be individually adapted to your application during installation and inspection with the help of the KRIWAN INTspector app.

What do I need to parameterize the KRIWAN protection relay and read out the diagnostic data?

You need a laptop, mobile phone or tablet (Windows 10, Android or iOS) with an installed KRIWAN INTspector app and a KRIWAN USB or Bluetooth gateway to establish the connection between the protection relay and the end device.

What is included in the scope of delivery of the KRIWAN protection relays for pumps?

In the packaging is the respective protection relay and the brief instructions. With the products INT69 PYF Diagnose and INT69 EXF2 Diagnose, terminating resistors are also included in the scope of delivery.

How do I recognize the current status (operating status) of the KRIWAN protection relay?

For quick and easy status indication and troubleshooting, a flashing code is signalled via an LED on the front of the housing of the protective relays. This consists of a cyclic flashing sequence which can be taken from the data sheet. The KRWIAN INTspector app is available for a more detailed view. The diagnosis data provides an overview of the operating behaviour of your pump. Events, operating times, switching cycles and current measured values are displayed and help with detailed analysis on site.

How do I integrate the KRIWAN protection relays into the higher-level system control?

The KRIWAN protection relays can be integrated into your control system via the ModBus RTU protocol. No additional hardware is required for the INT69® PYF PREMIUM, all other devices are connected via an INT600 DM gateway.

In addition to the protection relays, does KRIWAN also offer the associated sensors?

Sensors are usually already installed by the manufacturers of motors, pumps, systems, etc. The existing sensors can be connected to the KRIWAN pump protection relay.

Who can I contact if I have any questions?

We are happy to help you with questions. To do this, simply use the contact form on our homepage and send us a request. Our customer support will get in touch with you.

What is the DataMatrix code on the front label of the protection relay for?

The DataMatrix code is based on DIN Spec 91406 and is a composition of the code from
the KRIWAN URL + part number + serial number and is therefore unique. When scanning the Data Matrix code, the user gets direct access to the product page.
