Overview
The HMI’s main menu displays live pump data and H.O.A. switch. This menu is the user’s command center.

PSI Overview
Check the current PSI. Adjust the PSI set point to optimize efficiency.

Speed Parameters
Adjust the minimum and maximum frequency, acceleration, deceleration, and the Hand frequency of the VFD.

Motor Parameters
Adjust the current, speed, frequency, and other parameters of the motor.

PID Parameters
Adjust the PID parameters, including: proportional, integral, derivative, low speed, timeout, and deadband.
