Function: Sets the delay time to avoid false alarms.
Range: 1-60 seconds.
Default Value: 5 seconds.

Water Shortage Detection Current (P4.05)

Function: Sets the current threshold for water shortage detection in current mode.
Range: 0-50 A.
Default Value: 5 A.

2. Protective Features and Settings

1. Anti-Freeze Function (P5.01)

Function: Prevents pipes from freezing during winter to ensure safe operation in low temperatures.
Settings:
- Configure the anti-freeze start temperature (recommended: 5°C).
- Ensure the external temperature sensor is properly installed.

2. High/Low-Pressure Alarms (P6.01, P6.02)

High-Pressure Alarm (P6.01):
- Function: Prevents damage caused by overpressure.
- Range: 0-1.0 MPa (recommended: 0.9 MPa).
- Default Value: 0.9 MPa.
Low-Pressure Alarm (P6.02):
- Function: Alerts the system when water pressure is insufficient.
- Range: 0-1.0 MPa (recommended: 0.1 MPa).
- Default Value: 0.1 MPa.

3. Feedback Signal Disconnection Protection (P7.01)

Function: Detects signal integrity to prevent malfunction due to sensor or wiring issues.
Settings:
- Enable feedback disconnection protection and configure the alarm logic.

4. Sleep Mode (P3.02)

Function: Puts the system into sleep mode under no-load or low-load conditions to save energy.
Settings:
- Sleep Delay: Set the time to enter sleep mode (recommended: 10 minutes).
- Wake-Up Mode: Triggered by pressure or flow signals.

3. Multi-Pump Networking and Parameter Configuration

The M740 supports a multi-pump networking mode, enabling intelligent switching and cooperative operation.

Usage

Communication Configuration: Connect pumps via the RS485 bus and ensure proper communication.
Master-Slave Pump Switching:
- Set priority levels for master and slave pumps.
- Automatically switch based on cumulative runtime.

Key Parameter Configuration

Networking Mode (P8.01):
- Set to “1” (Multi-pump Networking Mode).
Switching Time (P8.02):
- Set to 4-8 hours (adjust as needed).
Load Balancing (P8.03):
- Enable load balancing to extend device lifespan.

4. Fault Codes and Troubleshooting

Below are common fault codes, their meanings, and suggested solutions:

Fault Code	Meaning	Solution
E01	Motor Overload	Check load conditions and reduce power.
E02	Input Voltage Too Low	Verify that the power supply voltage is stable.
E03	Output Short Circuit	Inspect cables for short circuits or grounding issues.
E04	Heat Sink Overheating	Clean the fan and remove dust from the heat sink.
E05	Feedback Signal Lost	Inspect sensors and communication wiring.

For other fault codes not listed, refer to the manual’s appendix section.
