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.
- Powder coated mild steel enclosure with removable gland plate
- IP54 single door or IP56 with inner door.
- 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
- 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
