The user 3 can then then check with the corresponding centrifugal pump 5a-5f, whether the change was made properly or possibly wantonly.
  • the hand-held device 4 or the computer program is capable of learning in the example shown and remembers at first use and / or at each new group of centrifugal pumps, either the number of received pump IDs as expected value or at once the pump identifiers as a group, so that he / she can be used at a next receipt of the pump IDs.
  • the handset may expect to receive a certain number of pump tags and / or certain pump tags and issue an indication if the number of received pump tags does not match the number of expected pump tags or an expected pump tag is missing. This has the advantage that if one of the pump identifiers fails to be received, a total failure of the corresponding centrifugal pump can be detected.
