! CAUTION !
Always verify that the power has been disconnected from both the Pump Master OptiPump controller and the Fuji MEGA variable frequency drive before making changes to the wiring.
Failure to do so may result in severe injury or death!
High DC voltages may still be present for a period of time after main power has been removed from the variable frequency drive. Take note of the red Charge LED, labeled CRG, located on the drive. Depending on the size of the drive, the LED may be visible through the front cover. The LED will go dark when the DC bus has been discharged. Until then, potentially dangerous voltages may still be present for several minutes after disconnecting power.
You should always verify that terminals are no longer powered by using a properly working and tested multimeter.

Proximity Switch Installation
The OptiPump system uses a proximity switch to indicate the top-of-stroke for the pump-jack. The mounting method used for the proximity switch can vary widely based on the location and available hardware.
There are only two requirements for mounting of the proximity switch. The proximity switch must:
- Close and reopen at the top-of-stroke.
- Close and reopen only one time per stroke.
If the only mounting position available for the proximity switch results in occasional multiple closures in quick succession, the System parameter Prox Ignore Time can be used to ignore closures for a chosen number of seconds after the first closure.
The images below provide some examples of how the proximity switch can be mounted.
Proximity switch mounted on a scrap piece of railing on the pump-jack skid/frame.
The head of a bolt on the bearing provides enough distance from the large, flat area of the bearing, which results in a quick closure and reopening of the proximity switch contacts at the top of the stroke. |
Proximity switch mounted just below the beam on the rear of the beam bearing.
With the proximity switch mounted just behind the main beam bearing, the contacts will engage at the top of the stroke, when the rear of the beam is at its lowest point. This mounting method is easiest on shorter pump-jacks. |
If the proximity switch contacts engage before the top of the stroke is reached, it must be repositioned. However, if the proximity switch contacts engage just slightly after the pump-jack begins the down-stroke, the system will still function, but the calculated pump fillage may be slightly affected. It is recommended that the pump fillage calibration procedure be run in order to compensate for the placement of the proximity switch.
Graphical User Interface and User Operation
The OptiPump controller uses a color touchscreen interface to display information and interact with a local user. The touchscreen uses resistive sensing elements which work well for users with bare fingers, wearing gloves or when using a stylus. To select an option on the screen, the user need only lightly touch the button or area indicated.
Note:
During periods of user inactivity, the OptiPump controller will turn off the display, very similar to a blank screensaver on a desktop or laptop computer. If the pump-jack is running and the display is black, simply lightly touching anywhere on the screen will enable the local display again. The time for this feature can be adjusted, or disabled, using System parameter Scrn Saver Time.
User Interface Navigation Overview
Home
The Home screen is the default screen displayed by the OptiPump controller. It provides a general overview of the system and its performance. Most screens within the controller have a button labeled Home. So if you ever get lost in the settings, just remember that you can press the Home button to find your way home, and start over.
Home (VFD Communication)
When used with a Fuji MEGA VFD, the OptiPump controller can display additional VFD related information. This is the default configuration for OptiPump VFD packages provided by Advanced Industrial Devices.
Measured pump strokes per minute (SPM) will always be displayed in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. The current values for measured VFD torque, calculated pump fillage, and VFD output frequency, voltage and current, are shown in the Red boxes. |
|
Home (Basic, No VFD Communication)
Measured pump strokes per minute (SPM) will always be displayed in the upper right-hand corner of the screen. The current values for both measured drive torque and estimated pump fillage are shown in the Red boxes. |
|
Home (Analog Inputs Configured, No VFD Communication)
When one or both of the analog inputs have been configured as monitors or shutdowns, they will also be displayed. The monitors for Torque and Pump Fillage shrink and the analog inputs are displayed below them using the supplied names and units. |
|
Home (Restart Mode after Shutdown)
When the system enters the shutdown state, the Home screen temporarily changes by removing the monitors and displays information about the shutdown instead.
If the shutdown is configured for a timed restart (or a pump-off), a countdown to automatic restart will be shown. For manual restart shutdowns, the message “Manual Reset Required” will be shown, as in the next example of a VFD fault. |
|
Home (Manual Restart Mode after VFD Fault)
When the system detects a VFD fault, the Home screen temporarily changes by removing the monitors and displays information about the fault instead.
If the fault is configured for an automatic/timed restart, a countdown to automatic restart will be shown, as in the previous Shutdown screen example. If the fault is configured for manual restart, the message “Manual Reset Required” will be shown.
|
The System parameters, Well Name and Well Number, are displayed below the red monitor boxes.
The Main Menu and Last Card buttons allow the user to exit the Home screen and show the Main Menu or view the last torque card that was generated.
The system status indicators are located at the bottom of the Home screen between the Main Menu and Last Card buttons. These indicators allow the user to quickly get an overview of what state the system is in and whether or not the proximity switch is functioning correctly.
Run/Operation Status | Proximity Switch Status | |||
System is currently stopped. | Proximity switch is open. | |||
System is currently running in either Hand or Auto. | Proximity switch is closed. | |||
System is currently shutdown due to pump-off, analog or digital input or VFD fault, and is waiting for an automatic/timed restart. | Proximity switch has failed to close in the last 100 seconds while the system was running. | |||
System is currently shutdown due to analog input, and requires a manual restart. | ||||
System is currently down due to a VFD fault, and requires a manual restart. |
Last Card
This screen provides a plot of the position (x-axis) versus torque data recorded (y-axis) during the last stroke. The card statistics (Fillage, Threshold, Minimum and Maximum torques) are also displayed at the top of the screen. The recorded torque values are displayed in green, and the threshold line is displayed in red. The last torque card recorded is very useful in helping to properly tune the pump-off detection.
Note: Only the down-stroke torque is recorded. The left-most position (x-axis) is bottom-of-stroke, and the right-most position (x-axis) is top-of-stroke.
The card on screen will automatically update when a new set of recorded data is available – this usually occurs just after the bottom-of-stroke is reached.
When you are finished viewing the card, touch anywhere on the screen to return to the Home screen.
Status
The status screen provides detailed information regarding the current input/output states, program version, and the real-time clock (RTC) date and time, as well as the same system status indicators available on the Home screen. This screen can be very useful in helping to troubleshoot field devices and wiring.
Due to the slightly different output terminals between the 5.7” and 3.5” devices, the status screens vary slightly. Notice that the VFD Fwd output is marked (O2) in the 5.7” version, and marked (O0) in the 3.5” version. Pay close attention to the indicated terminals names and numbers during installation and when troubleshooting.

History
The date and time of the last pump-off shutdown is recorded at the top of the screen. When the system detects a new pump-off shutdown, the date and time of the last pump-off is automatically updated.
The OptiPump controller can record 640,000 torque cards on the available SD card in 64 comma-separated values (CSV) files. These files can be easily imported in to Microsoft Excel or other data analysis software.
Note: Always make sure power has been turned off or the Eject button has been pressed prior to removing the SD card from the PLC. Failure to do so may result in corrupted data on the SD card. After pressing the Eject button, wait until the Safe To Remove status changes to Yes before removing the SD card.
SD Card Status | Description |
Not Inserted | SD card is not inserted into the PLC. No data logging will occur. |
Read-Only | SD card is inserted into the PLC, but the write-protect switch is in the Locked position. No data logging will occur. |
Write Enabled | SD card is inserted into the PLC, and normal data logging will occur. |
Write Disabled | SD card is inserted into the PLC, the write-protect switch is in the Unlocked position, but writing has been disabled via the Eject button. |
Motor Auto-Tune
Regardless of whether or not VFD communication is enabled, the motor auto-tune procedure should be run. Auto-tuning allows the VFD to more accurately measure and calculate values associated with pump operation and increase the amount of torque generated. Optimal motor and pump operation will be achieved after performing the auto-tune procedure with accurate motor information. Accurate motor information (from the nameplate) is critical for this process.
The HOA switch must be in the Off position and the motor completely stopped before attempting this procedure.
If the OptiPump controller is not used with VFD communication enabled, please refer to the auto-tuning information included with the panel. When the OptiPump controller is used in conjunction with a Fuji MEGA VFD and communication is enabled, the auto-tuning procedure is run from the OptiPump controller, NOT the Fuji MEGA VFD keypad.
In order to begin the process, collect the following information from the motor nameplate:
Rated Speed RPM | Capacity/Size in Horsepower | Full-Load Amps |
Navigate to the Motor Auto-Tune screen on the OptiPump controller from the Home screen by pressing the Main Menu button, then the Configure button, followed by the VFD button. The Motor Auto-Tune page is the last page of the VFD configuration section.
Begin entering the motor nameplate information.
For the motor speed, the nameplate will indicate the full-load speed in RPM, which includes slip. This value will be slightly smaller than the speed selected for the Speed parameter. For example, if the motor nameplate indicates a full-load speed of 1140 RPM, then choose 1200 RPM for the auto-tune. Simply touching the Speed value will cycle through the available values.
Once the speed has been determined and set, enter the motor capacity/size in horsepower into the Horsepower parameter and the full-load amps into the Full-Load Amps parameter. These two values are entered directly using the numeric touchscreen keypad.
With the HOA switch in the Off position, press the Start Tune button. The status message will indicate that the auto-tune process is ready to start, and to turn the HOA switch to the Hand position to begin. If the status message does not change, the HOA switch was not in the Off position when the Start Tune button was pressed.
Turn the HOA switch to the Hand position. The auto-tune command will be sent to the VFD and the status message will indicate that the VFD is executing the auto-tune process. This process will take approximately 30 seconds to complete, and the motor will make a series of “buzzing”, “beeping” and “growling” sounds during this time while the winding characteristics are being measured. The motor should not spin during this time.
If the auto-tune process completes successfully, the status message will indicate success and wait until the HOA switch is turned back to the Off position.
Turn the HOA switch back to the Off position. This completes the auto-tune procedure.
Note:
In the event the auto-process results in a VFD fault, the status message will indicate that a fault has occurred. The HOA switch should be left in the Hand position, and the user should return to the Home screen by pressing the Home button in order to ascertain which fault has occurred. Do NOT turn the HOA switch back to the Off position before the fault information has been determined, as this will clear the fault.
Pump Fillage Calibration
Variations in pump design and placement of the proximity switch can result in a calculated pump fillage that is skewed from a known pump fillage. Performing a pump fillage calibration will correct for any of these variations and/or misplacements, and will result in a much more accurate representation of down-hole performance.
To perform the calibration process, first run the system with the HOA switch in the Hand position at a constant speed until fluid has reached the surface.
Once fluid has reached the surface, navigate to the Fillage Calibration screen on the OptiPump controller from the Home screen by pressing the Main Menu button, then the Configure button, followed by the Pump-Off button. The Fillage Calibration page is the last page of the Pump-Off configuration section.
Enter the known pump fillage value in the Known Fillage parameter by touching the current percentage value. The new value is entered directly using the numeric touchscreen keypad.
With the system still running, and the HOA switch in the Hand position, press the Start Calibration button. The status message below the button will change to indicate that the process is currently calibrating. The process will take approximately 10 strokes to correctly account for any pump and setup variations. During this time, the monitor values on the left side of the screen will change rapidly.
Do NOT change the speed of the system while running the pump fillage calibration process. If the speed is changed during the calibration process, perform the process again.
Once the process has successfully completed, the status message will change to indicate that the controller has successfully calibrated the pump fillage. This message will be shown for several seconds, then reset back to ready-to-calibrate state.
This completes the pump fillage calibration process. Return to the Home screen and verify that the calculated pump fillage more closes matches the known pump fillage value used to calibrate the system.

Summary | |||||
Speed Control | (0) Constant Speed |
(0) Constant Speed (1) Slow Down |
None | ||
In Constant Speed mode, the controller will not attempt to control the speed of the pump as the pump fillage decreases. It will run at a fixed speed (usually set by the speed knob on the panel) until the Minimum Fillage and Fillage Violation conditions are met.
In Slow Down mode, the controller linearly decreases the speed of the pump as the pump fillage decreases. The pump runs at maximum speed for 100% pump fillage and greater and minimum speed at the value of the Minimum Fillage.
In the Slow Down mode, speed changes take place every 6 strokes. |
|||||
Minimum Fillage | 95.0 | 1.0 | 100.0 | Percentage (%) | |
This is the minimum allowed pump fillage when in the automatic mode. The controller will maintain a pump fillage between 100% and this value when Speed Control is set to Slow Down. | |||||
Fillage Violations | 5 | 1 | 100 | Strokes | |
The number of pump fillage calculations, in a row, less than or equal to the Minimum Fillage that will trigger a pump-off condition. If a pump fillage calculation results in a value greater than the Minimum Fillage, the number of fillage violations resets to 0. | |||||
Restart Time | 00:01:00 | 00:00:01 | 99:59:59 | HH:MM:SS | |
Time to wait until automatic restart after a pump-off condition. | |||||

Detect Threshold | 4.00 | 0.01 | 100.00 | Percentage (%) | |
The detection threshold is used to filter out mechanical noise and proximity switch position errors at the top-of-stroke, by increasing the point where the detection algorithm works. The detection threshold value is a torque percentage that is added to the minimum torque recorded. See the graphic below for recommendations. | |||||
Detection Threshold Too Low
Here, the detection threshold has been set too low, at a value of 2.00%. This value is added to the minimum torque value of 1.66%, resulting in a final detection threshold of 3.66%. The green torque line crosses the threshold line in two places in the lower right corner. |
|||||
Detection Threshold Too High
In this example, the detection threshold is set at 22.00%, resulting in a final detection threshold of 23.66%. The green torque line peak that is located just below the threshold line on the right, is treated as mechanical noise, and is ignored. This results in a pump fillage calculation that is incorrect. |
|||||
Optimal Detection Threshold
The optimal detection threshold (4.00% in this example) sets the threshold line just high enough (5.66%) to ignore the small dip in the green torque line in the lower right, but high enough that the threshold line crosses the green torque line only once on the right half of the card. |
