How to use this IO list

For basic FlexVander operation, connect supply, required pump command outputs, and required pump operating feedback signals for the selected program.

Configure the active pump program with FVAPRG.
Configure local push-button behaviour with FVALOCIN.
Configure output pulse time with FVADOUTT#.
Configure stop-contact behaviour with DWCONTACT# where the installation uses that option.

Program 1 basic wiring: two pressure pumps

Program 1 controls one or two pressure pumps without a submersible pump. Wire the command outputs and feedback inputs for each installed pressure pump.

Relay outputs

The relay outputs are potential-free normally-open contacts. FVADOUTT# sets pulse time. DWCONTACT# can change stop-contact behaviour where the installation requires it.

Output	Function	Terminals	Condition
Relay 1	Start pressure pump 1	`R1A`, `R1B`	Required when pressure pump 1 is installed.
Relay 2	Start pressure pump 2	`R2A`, `R2B`	Use only when pressure pump 2 is installed.
Relay 3	Stop pressure pump 1	`R3A`, `R3B`	Required when pressure pump 1 is installed.
Relay 4	Stop pressure pump 2	`R4A`, `R4B`	Use only when pressure pump 2 is installed.

Operating feedback

Connect a compatible pump-running or status signal to each listed input. The signal must be active when the pump is running.

Input	Pump	Terminals	Signal	Condition
`DI2`	Pressure pump 1	`DI2`, signal ground	Pump-running feedback	Required when pressure pump 1 is installed.
`DI3`	Pressure pump 2	`DI3`, signal ground	Pump-running feedback	Use only when pressure pump 2 is installed.

Program 2 basic wiring: submersible pump and pressure pumps

Program 2 controls one submersible pump and one or two pressure pumps. Wire command outputs and feedback inputs for each installed pump.

Relay outputs

The relay outputs are potential-free normally-open contacts. FVADOUTT# sets pulse time. DWCONTACT# can change stop-contact behaviour where the installation requires it.

Output	Function	Terminals	Condition
Relay 1	Start submersible pump	`R1A`, `R1B`	Required when the submersible pump is installed.
Relay 2	Start pressure pump 1	`R2A`, `R2B`	Required when pressure pump 1 is installed.
Relay 3	Start pressure pump 2	`R3A`, `R3B`	Use only when pressure pump 2 is installed.
Relay 4	Stop all pumps	`R4A`, `R4B`	Required stop output for program 2.

Operating feedback

Connect a compatible pump-running or status signal to each listed input. The signal must be active when the pump is running.

Input	Pump	Terminals	Signal	Condition
`DI1`	Submersible pump	`DI1`, signal ground	Pump-running feedback	Required when the submersible pump is installed.
`DI2`	Pressure pump 1	`DI2`, signal ground	Pump-running feedback	Required when pressure pump 1 is installed.
`DI3`	Pressure pump 2	`DI3`, signal ground	Pump-running feedback	Use only when pressure pump 2 is installed.

Optional standard features

Local push buttons

Local push buttons are active only when the FlexVander setup uses FVALOCIN. Set the input jumper to match the installed signal type.

Input	Function	Terminals	Signal	Condition
`DI1`	Program 1 pressure pump 1 button	`DI1`, signal ground	Local contact or input signal	Use only when selected by `FVALOCIN`.
`DI4`	Program 1 pressure pump 2 button or program 2 local button	`DI4`, signal ground	Local contact or input signal	Use only when selected by `FVALOCIN`.

Pressure control

Use pressure control only when pressure transmitters are installed. Select voltage or current input from the transmitter nameplate and the selected input setup.

Input	Function	Terminals	Signal	Continue
`AI1`	Pressure line 1	`AI1`, `AGND`	0-10 V or 0-20 mA	`FVAPRESS`, `FVAPTRMODE`
`AI2`	Pressure line 2	`AI2`, `AGND`	0-10 V or 0-20 mA	`FVAPRESSDELAY1/2`

For transmitter wiring details, see Analog transmitter wiring.

RS485 energy metering

Use RS485 energy metering only when the installed AX9 ENCORE has the on-demand RS485 option enabled and assigned. Terminate the RS485 bus only at the two physical endpoints.

Port	Terminals	Use	Condition
RS485 port 2	`RS485_2+`, `RS485_2-`, `SGND`	Energy meter bus	Use only when the on-demand RS485 option is enabled and assigned.

See Energy meters and Serial RS485 communication for the shared bus requirements.

Output	Terminals	Use	Condition
24 V DC output, max. 250 mA	`DCOUT`, `GND`	Supported sensors and accessories	The 24 V output requires AC supply to be present.

Hardware jumper reference

The Viking defaults are the delivered FlexVander setup. Change a jumper only when the connected signal or instrument requires a different input type.

Jumper	Function	Viking default	Other setting	Change when
`JPDI1`-`JPDI4`	Input mode for `DI1`-`DI4`	Position `S` for standard FlexVander contact/S0-style wiring	Position `N` for normal positive digital input	The connected feedback or push-button signal requires normal input mode.
`JPAI1`-`JPAI2`	Analog input mode	Current input when pressure transmitter is delivered	Voltage input	The connected transmitter is 0-10 V.
`TER2`	RS485 port 2 termination	Not installed unless delivered as an RS485 endpoint	Installed	The controller is one of the two physical endpoints on the RS485 bus.
