HydroSTART PRO Submersible Pump Controller

Enclosure Options:

• Grey powder coated galvanised mild steel IP66 with inner door
• X15 orange powder coated galvanised mild steel, IP66 with inner door
• Premium powder coated 316 stainless steel, IP66 With inner door
• Premium polycarbonate IP66 with inner door

Protection:

• Inner door mounted main isolator with door interlock
• Premium Schneider Circuit Breakers for individual pump protection/isolation
• Low voltage control and input circuitry
• Premium Schneider Contactors for pump switching (three phase panels)
• Electronic short and overload protection of alarms
• Din rail mounted terminal connections

Control & Interface:

• HydroSTART dual pump capacitive touch keypad interface:
  • Indicator lights for system, pump and input status, level alarm
  • Buttons for alarm mute/reset and pump mode selection
• HydroSTART PCB control module with dip-switches for adjusting configuration
• Visual (strobe) and audible (buzzer) alarms
• Pump current sensing providing adjustable overload & other protections

Inputs:

• Single phase (230Vac) or three phase (400Vac) power supply
• 6x digital inputs for float or pressure switches, optional prime loss flow switch and system enable
• Standard terminal setup: Low level, duty stop, duty start, standby start, high level and system enable

Outputs:

• 1 or 2x pump supply outputs
• BMS volt free output for common fault
• Modbus RTU Serial RS485 connections for SCADA

Functions:

• Level control mode – Level empty operation controlled by up to 5 float switches: Low level, duty stop, duty start, standby start and high level
• Pressure control mode – Pressure boost operation controlled by up to 3 pressure switches: Duty start, standby start and low pressure
• Duty sharing and alternation – Duty pump alternates on pump start and after 30 minutes of continuous running in alternation mode, or 6 hours of accumulated running in recirculation mode
• Staggered pump start – Prevents excessive current draw and reduces water surge
• Manual pump control – Manual pump mode with optional 5-minute timeout to revert to auto mode
• System enable input – Enables and disables the system in auto mode
• Static duty mode – No duty alternation, for applications using smaller duty pump that always starts first
• Smart chirp mode alarms – Audible alarm automatically silences after 5 minutes if not muted, then chirps every 5 minutes

Fault Protection:

• High level alarm – Alarms after 15-minute delay with auto reset in stormwater mode, or after 1 minute with manual reset only in sewage mode
• Low level protection – Alarms and shuts down pumps on low level, manual reset only
• Low pressure protection – Alarms and shuts down pumps if low pressure input is closed for 60 seconds
• Prime loss protection – Alarms and shuts down running pumps if there is no flow for 30 seconds
• Pump anti-seize protection – Runs pumps periodically during low use to prevent seizing
• Pump current sensing – Provides adjustable pump overload, undercurrent and zero current protection
