HydroSTART Rains/Mains Pump Controller
Rains/mains pump controller with capacitive touch keypad, current sensing, and IP54/IP56 enclosure options.
Overview
MATelec Australia’s HydroSTART Rains/Mains Controller brings the features of the standard single and dual pump controllers into a new age with a redesigned capacitive touch keypad and control module with pump current sensing, providing wide range electronic overload protection which now functions with both single and three phase pumps.
Additional control inputs and functionality have been incorporated into the new design to enhance the controller’s flexibility and cover an even wider range of pumping applications. The HydroSTART is the new standard for pump controls.
