Description

Australia’s HydroSTART 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 with range electronic overload [protection which functions with both single and three phase pumps.
There is a number of benefits to the end user and the pump supplier with the panel which include:
Australian Made – all electronic PCBs are being manufactured in Australia including the control touchpads
Less Stock holding – the electronic overloads have a range of 0.1 – 6Amps and 5 – 16Amps, two standard panels replace 7 or more current ratings of the traditional panels
Accuracy of pump motor protection – less nuisance tripling and pump protection where it’s needed
More options in a standard panel – Conductivity inputs is now a standard add-on as with BMS
Pump level status showing on touchpad – indicator lights for each level input is standard
Simplified Ordering,  Standard extras will be a suffix to the stock code rather than a bespoke quote
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
