Overview

The HydroTOUCH range of submersible controllers are the ultimate solution for pumping systems with seamless control of up to 12 pumps. HydroTOUCH features a more versatile and larger screen than HydroWHIZ controllers, along with a more comprehensive setup wizard. Additional control inputs allow a level of unsurpassed flexibility in application.

Product Details

Enclosure

  • IP56 rated, powder-coated mild steel enclosure with inner door and removable gland plate

Protection

  • Pad-lockable mains power isolator switch
  • Circuit breaker protected low voltage control and input circuitry
  • Individual pump isolation
  • Contactor and thermal overload protection of pump motors
  • Din rail-mounted terminal connections

Control & Interface

  • HydroTOUCH colour touch screen HMI (See interface features)
  • HydroTOUCH PCB control module
  • Visual (strobe) and mutable audible (buzzer) alarms

Inputs

  • Single phase (230Vac) or three phase (400Vac) power supply
  • 2x Analogue 4-20mA inputs for level, pressure or temperature transducers
  • Up to 5x digital 24Vdc inputs for float or pressure switches or thermostats
  • Digital pulse input for flow meter
  • Standard terminal setup: Primary and secondary level transducers, backup low and high-level floats, and flow input
  • Thermal switch inputs per pump (three phase only)

Outputs

  • 1-12 pump supply outputs
  • BMS volt-free output for common fault (additional available upon request)
  • 2x Analogue 4-20mA BMS outputs for analogue readings
  • Output for solenoid valve available upon request
  • Modbus RTU Serial RS485 connections for SCADA

Function Features

  • Multi-pump Control - Control of up to 12 pumps in any number of duty, duty assist and standby pump configurations
  • Pump Limting - For limiting max flow or power requirements
  • Duty Sharing and Alternation - Adjustable duty change period and bumpless transfer
  • Pump Staging and Destaging - Additional pumps are staged into operation to maintain setpoint and destaged when no longer required
  • Staggered Pump Start and Stop - Prevents excessive current draw and reduces water surge or hammer
  • Manual Pump Control - Pump manual mode with ability to override system protections for 15 mins, before reverting back to auto mode
  • System Types - Level, pressure or temperature control modes
  • Control Directions - For emptying or filling a tank
  • Pump 1 Mode - Pump 1 can be configured as a main pump, jacking pump or a mixer
  • Level Control Mode - Controlled by 4-20mA level transducer and optional backup high- and low-level float switches
  • Maintain Minimum Level - Ensures minimum tank level is maintained
  • Well Wash Valve Control - When the system has pumped down to setpoint and the pumps have stopped, the system will open the well wash valve for 5 minutes every 24 hours
  • Tank Top-up Valve Control - Tops up tank with mains water when normal inflow of rain or treated water into tank does not keep up with demand (available upon request)
  • Auxiliary Tank Level Monitoring - Using additional level transducer in auxiliary tank, instead of backup transducer

Fault Protection

  • Protection Modes - Most protections feature adjustable modes including alarm (alarm only), lockout (alarm and pump shut-down) and inhibit (pump shut-down, no alarm)
  • High and Low Level, Pressure or Temperature Protection - Alarm and/or shutdown on high and low level, pressure or temperature depending on the system type, low pressure and flow feature auto restart attempts
  • Medium Level Protection - Provides an additional level alarm before the high or low level is reached
  • Auxiliary Tank Level Protection - High- and low-level protection from floats or level transducer in auxiliary tank
  • Auxiliary High & Low Temp Protection - If using additional temperature device instead of backup transducer (specific to temperature mode)
  • Pump Anti-seize Protection - Runs pumps periodically during low use to prevent seizing
  • Maximum Flow Protection - Activates after pumps run at max flow for 30mins, protecting the system in the event of a burst pipe
  • Pump Cycle Protection - Activates if system goes to sleep but wakes up within 5 seconds, 10 times in a row, due to a faulty non-return valve or similar fault preventing the system from maintaining pressure
  • Low Flow Protection - Alarms and/or shuts down pump or system if a pump is running but there is no flow for 30 seconds, with automatic restart attempts before activating a lockout
  • Analogue Fault Protection - Activates faults if analogue inputs fail
  • Transducer Redundancy - Switches to backup transducer if primary transducer fails (if using backup transducer)
  • Transducer Discrepancy - If difference between primary and secondary transducers exceeds a certain amount, system will use the most appropriate input relative to the setpoint to protect system from overshooting
  • Pump Overload Protection - Shuts down pumps on overload, with automatic duty alternation
  • Pump Thermal Switch Protection - For three phase pumps
  • Filter Blocked Protection - Protects the system when filters are blocked or faulty
  • UV Fault Protection - Protects the system when UV filters are faulty

Interface Features

  • Main screen with system and pump status, active faults, analogue values
  • Individual pump monitoring screen with status, run hours, number of starts, manual control with ability to override system lockouts
  • Graphical overview screen for monitoring overall system operation
  • Alarm screen with date and time stamped faults
  • Logged data screen with water usage graph, trend graphs for pressure, level and flow, pump run timers and system event counters
  • System diagnostics screen for easy fault finding, pump rotation testing
  • User friendly setup wizard for easy commissioning
  • Advanced parameter adjustment
