Overview
Features & Benefits
- Designed for Water Systems, Optimized for Constant Pressure: Designed specifically for water pumping applications, SubDrive Connect Plus delivers unique features:
- Provides consistent water pressure across a system, eliminating fluctuations
- Dual set point and adjustable drawdown for exact pressure control
- Soft start maximizes system life
- Run/stop and hand/auto control
-
- Additional built-in protections include:
- Pipe fill mode to reduce water hammer
- Underload (Dry-run) with customizable sensitivity and off time
- Overload / Locked pump
- Broken pipe detection
- Output short circuit and open circuit
- Undervoltage
- Electrical surge
- Overheated controller
- Moisture sensor input
- Run and fault relays
- Additional built-in protections include:
- Simple Installation, Made Easier Through Connectivity: The easy-to-install platform uses an array of setup, local monitoring, and assisted troubleshooting solutions to help you save time during installation and servicing:
- LCD display provides immediate feedback and read-outs of pressure and system status
- No advanced programming is required with single-level menu and DIP switches for basic drive configuration
- Integrated connectivity and compatibility with our FE Connect mobile app for real-time data and monitoring; access to advanced features such as motor frequency range, lead/lag/alternation, broken pipe detection, and fault log retrieval
- Versatility for Multiple Applications:
- Ideal for new construction or retrofitting and optimizing submersible and surface systems up to 30 horsepower, including projects powered by MagForce High Efficiency Motors
- Built-in lead/lag and alternation capability for up to 8 drives
- Phase conversion allows for single-phase or 3-phase input in 230 V models
- Comes standard with various input/output (I/O) connections or terminals for streamlined compatibility with adjacent systems
- Smaller Footprint, Smarter Use of Space:
- Compact design, that is ideal for wall-mounting, provides a cost-effective solution when compared to high-horsepower systems that use starters or VFD panel packages
- Can be used indoors or outside since the self-contained NEMA 3R-rated drive provides a degree of protection against falling rain or sleet
