FAQs
For indoor installations, mount the wall-mounted drive in a climate-controlled space using the IP21 enclosure as standard. Ensure ventilation and provide proper cable routing to avoid heat build-up. Consider optional IP55 or flange-mounted units for harsher environments. Use Drive Composer for commissioning and connect a Hand-Off-Auto panel to simplify operator control and safety interlocks.
Sensorless flow calculation provides accurate pump performance data without external flow meters, enabling precise control of pump speed to match demand. This reduces energy consumption, minimizes mechanical wear, and improves process stability in fluctuating water/wastewater flows. It also simplifies system integration by relying on inherent motor and load characteristics.
Yes. The drive supports multipump control and level control features, allowing coordinated operation of several pumps to maintain target levels and head. This reduces standby energy use, prevents short cycling, and facilitates smooth transitions between pumps, improving reliability for lift stations and treatment facilities.
The drive carries CE marking for compliance with regional directives and uses an IP21-rated enclosure as standard. Optional IP55 and flange-mount variants extend protection for more demanding environments. These certifications and ratings support regulatory adherence and safer operation in typical water and wastewater plant installations.
ROI is driven by energy savings from optimized pump control, reduced downtime due to dry-run protection and robust protection features, and quicker commissioning via Drive Composer and Hands-Off-Auto interfaces. Maintenance is streamlined through fewer mechanical failures, longer pump life, and centralized monitoring, delivering lower total cost of ownership over the system’s life.
