Standard Pump Controllers with Inner Door

MATelec Australia’s highly popular Standard Range of pump controllers are designed to control one or two pumps, featuring a keypad interface and control module with dipswitches for configuring the controller to suit various level and pressure control applications. Housed in robust powder-coated metal enclosures, the controllers utilise contactors and thermal overload protection for the pumps and up to 4 digital inputs for control, with many additional options, such as BMS outputs and SMS alarm messaging available.

  • High level alarm delay - Avoids nuisance alarms causes by water level oscillation
  • Smart chirp mode alarms - Alarms automatically silence after 5 minutes if not muted, then chirp every 5 minutes
  • Manual control - Manual pump mode with optional 5-minute timeout to revert back to auto mode
  • Duty sharing and alternation - Duty pump alternates on pump start and after 30 minutes of continuous running in alternation mode, or after 6 hours of accumulated running in circulation mode (dual pump versions)
  • Pump staging and destaging - Second pump is staged into operation on high level float or lag pump pressure switch closing and destaged when no longer required (dual pump versions)
  • Staggered pump start - Prevents excessive current draw and reduces water surge (dual pump versions)
  • Level control mode - Pump out operation controlled by pump stop, pump start and high-level float switches
  • Maintain minimum level - Ensures minimum tank level is maintained if pump does not run for 4 hours, and pump stop input is closed
  • Pressure control mode - Pressure boost operation controlled by lead pump, lag pump (dual pump versions) and low-pressure switches.
Enclosure
  • Powder coated mild steel enclosure with removable gland plate
  • IP54 single door or IP56 with inner door.
Protection
  • Pad-lockable mains power isolator switch
  • Circuit breaker protected low voltage control and input circuitry
  • Individual pump isolation
  • Contactor and thermal overload protection of pump motors
  • Din rail-mounted terminal connections
Control & interface
  • Single or dual pump keypad interface:
    - Indicator lights for power on, high & low-level alarm, pump run, pump fault/overload and prime loss
    - Push buttons for alarm mute/reset, pump auto/off/manual control
  • PCB control module with dipswitches for adjusting configuration
  • Visual (strobe) and mutable audible (buzzer) alarms

Fault Protection

  • Pump overload protection - Shuts down pumps on overload, with automatic duty alternation (dual pump versions)
  • Pump anti-seize protection - Runs pumps periodically during low use to prevent seizing
  • High level alarm - Can be configured with 15 minute delay and auto reset for stormwater applications, or 5 minute delay and manual alarm reset only for sewage applications
  • Low level alarm - Locks out pumps until manually reset, to prevent dry running
  • Low flow/prime loss protection - Activates if a pump is running but there is no flow for 2 minutes (if using flow switch in input 1 instead of low-level float switch)
  • Low pressure alarm - Shuts down pumps if low pressure input closes for 60 seconds.

Typical Applications

  • Level control:
    - Submersible sewage
    - Submersible stormwater
    - Water transfer pumping
  • Pressure control:
    - Pressure boosting

Modification Options

  • /SMS - With ME-Link module for SMS alarm/status messaging
  • /BBHLS - With battery backup high level alarm
  • /CON - With conductivity relays and inputs for common, stop, start and high-level probes
  • /GEN - With generator inlet socket and manual changeover switch
  • /ATS - With automatic generator changeover switch
  • /INT - With intrinsically safe input barrier relay and inputs for working and high-level floats
  • Individual pump RCD protection
  • Pump thermistor inputs
  • Mine spec enclosure
  • 316 stainless steel enclosure
  • Pump max run time protection
Inputs
  • Single phase (230Vac) or three phase (400Vac) power supply
  • 4x digital 12Vdc inputs for float, pressure or flow switches
  • Standard terminal setup: Low level (not for single door version), pump stop, pump start and high-level float switches
Outputs
  • 1 or 2x pump supply outputs
  • BMS volt free output for common fault (Inner Door version), or:
  • BMS volt free outputs for power on, high level, individual pump run and fault (BMS version only)
  • Coded data output for connection to remote status indicators, BMS module or SMS alarm status communicator.
