HydroSTART Submersible Level Controller
The HydroSTART Submersible Level Controllers are the ideal option for up to two submersible pumps. Featuring functionality not seen on any previous generation controller, HydroSTART includes a vast array of electronic overload, short circuit and pump protection, and uses more floats to monitor pit levels for optimum pump performance with duty alternation and duty assist operation modes.
Enclosure
- Powder coated mild steel enclosure with removable gland plate
- IP54 rated with single door, for indoor mounting (Single Door version), or:
- IP56 rated with inner door for outdoor mounting (Inner Door version)
Protection
- Pad-lockable mains power isolator switch
- Low voltage control and input circuitry
- Individual pump circuit breaker protection/isolation
- Contactors for pump switching (three-phase panels)
- Electronic short and overload protection of alarms
- Din rail mounted terminal connections
Control & Interface
- HydroSTART single or dual pump capacitive touch keypad interface:
- Indicator lights for system and pump status, level alarm
- Buttons for alarm mute/reset and pump mode selection
- HydroSTART PCB control module with dipswitches 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
- Up to 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
