HydroSTART® Control Module
HydroSTART® Control Module
Proven Australian-made control technology for single and dual pump/motor applications.
HydroSTART® RELIABILITY
DEPENDABLE CONTROL. DESIGNED BY MATelec AUSTRALIA.
HydroSTART®, a proprietary pump controller of MATelec Australia's, designed to provide reliable, flexible control across a broad range of single and dual pump applications. Developed by our in-house engineering team and continually refined over time, HydroSTART® combines intelligent motor protection, configurable functionality, and intuitive operation into one dependable control platform. Balancing capability with simplicity, it provides the features installers need every day without unnecessary complexity.
Why HydroSTART®?
The Proven Choice in Single & Dual Pump Control
Intelligent Motor Protection
Advanced electronic current sensing delivers accurate overload protection and enhanced motor safety for both single and three-phase pumps.
Flexible Configuration
Configurable inputs, outputs and operating modes allow HydroSTART® to suit a wide range of pumping applications from one common platform.
Simple User Interface
A durable capacitive touch keypad provides intuitive operation, clear status indication and improved long-term reliability.
Australian Engineered
Designed, developed and continually enhanced by MATelec Australia's in-house engineering team.
Communication Ready
Built-in Modbus communications provide seamless integration with BMS, SCADA and MATelec Australia's InterLINX® communication hardware.
Proven Reliability
Trusted across countless installations throughout Australia, HydroSTART® continues to deliver dependable performance in demanding environments.
SMARTER MOTOR PROTECTION
Precision Where Traditional Controllers Fall Short
Unlike traditional thermal overloads, HydroSTART® continuously monitors motor current using sophisticated electronic current sensing technology. This provides far greater accuracy when protecting motors against overload conditions, reducing nuisance trips while ensuring equipment is protected exactly when required. The result is improved reliability, better system performance, and greater confidence in the field.
MONITORING BEYOND OVERLOAD
MORE INTELLIGENCE FROM EVERY AMP
Electronic current sensing doesn't simply improve overload protection – it unlocks an entirely new level of system intelligence. HydroSTART® can detect changes in motor operating characteristics that may indicate conditions such as:
- Loss of flow
- Dry running
- Blocked or ragged suction
- Internal motor thermostat trips
- High- or low-pressure conditions
By recognising these conditions early, HydroSTART® can automatically alarm, lock out, or alternate pumps before minor issues become major failures.
DESIGNED AROUND THE INSTALLER
Simple to Commission. Easy to Operate.
HydroSTART® has been designed to make installation, commissioning, and operation as straightforward as possible.
The capacitive touch keypad on the door of the control panel, eliminates traditional mechanical buttons, improving durability, while providing a smoother user experience and enhanced status indication. Configurable DIP-switch settings allow installers to tailor controller behaviour quickly without complex programming, making HydroSTART® equally suited to standard and specialised applications.
