A full suite of control inputs and functionality has been incorporated into the design to enhance the controller’s flexibility and cover an even wider range of pumping applications.

Product Details

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
