Overview

The premium HydroWHIZ Submersible Level Controllers are an enhanced version of the HydroSTART controller. Designed with greater pump control (up to 6), more comprehensive data access, and greater input and output flexibility that empowers optimum pump control. The HydroWHIZ is simple to set-up via the colour touchscreen HMI ensuring your system is up and running sooner.

Product Details

Function Features

  • Multi-pump Control - Control of up to 6 pumps in any number of duty, duty assist, and standby pump configurations.
  • Pump Limiting - 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 Control - Manual modes for system and pumps with a 10-minute timeout to revert back to auto mode.
  • System Types - Level, pressure, or temperature control.
  • Control Directions - For emptying or filling a tank
  • Level Control Mode - Controlled by a 4-20mA hydrostatic level transducer and/or low, duty stop, duty start, standby starts, and high-level float switches, submerged in a tank or pit.
  • Tank Top Up Valve Control - Tops up the tank with mains water when normal inflow of rain or treated water into the tank does not keep up with demand (specific to level mode).
  • Maintain Minimum Level - Ensures minimum tank level is maintained.

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

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

Inputs

  • Single phase (230Vac) or three phase (400Vac) power supply.
  • Analogue 4-20mA input for level, pressure, or temperature transducer.
  • Up to 8x digital 24Vdc inputs for low, stop, start, standby start, and high float switches, pressure switches, or thermostats, system enable/disable input, and a low flow switch.
  • Thermal switch inputs per pump (three-phase only).

Outputs

  • 1-6 pump outputs.
  • BMS volt-free output for common fault.
  • Analogue 0-10V output (mirrors analogue input).
  • Output for solenoid valve available on request.
  • Modbus RTU Serial RS485 connections for SCADA.

Fault Protection

  • Protection Modes - Apply to most protections and include alarm (alarm only), lockout (alarm and pump shutdown), and inhibit (pump shutdown only, 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 protection features automatic restart attempts.
  • Auxiliary Tank Level Protection - Pump shut-down on supply tank low or destination tank full.
  • Pump Anti-seize Protection - Runs pumps periodically during low use to prevent seizing.
  • Maximum Run Protection - Activates after pumps run at max speed for 30 mins, protecting the system in the event of a burst pipe, with automatic restart attempts.
  • Pump Cycle Protection - Activates if the 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.
  • No Flow Protection - Activates if a pump is running but there is no flow for 30 seconds (if using a flow switch instead of a low-level float), with automatic restart attempts.
  • Feedback Signal Fault Protection - Shuts down all pumps in the event of a transducer failing.
  • Pump Overload Protection - Shuts down pump/s on overload, with automatic duty alternation.
  • Pump Thermal Switch Protection - For three-phase pumps.

Interface Features

  • Main screen with system status, auto/off/manual modes.
  • Pump screens with status, logged data, and auto/off/manual control.
  • Alarms screens with mute/reset, date & time stamped historical faults.
  • Logged data with system event & fault counts, pump starts, run hours.
  • Analogue feedback value trend graph.
  • Streamlined, user-friendly system setup process.
  • System diagnostics for easy fault finding, factory reset.
