Usability is further enhanced with the intuitive Hand-Off-Auto control panel, the PC tool Drive composer and an optional Bluetooth=C2=AE control panel. The built-in energy calculator visualizes the energy savings achieved with the use of the drive. The ACQ580-01 variant comes in IP21 enclosure as standard and can be installed on the wall. Also, IP55 and flange mounting units are available.
Feature → Business Impact → Application: The wall-mounted LV AC drive includes sensorless flow calculation to optimize pump speed in real-time, reducing energy consumption by matching flow demand to process needs. This translates to lower operating costs in water treatment plants and municipal pumping networks, while extending pump life through precise control. Application: municipal water supply and wastewater pumping where energy efficiency is critical. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Multipump control enables coordinated operation of several pumps, balancing duty cycles and reducing peak electrical load. This improves reliability in high-demand seasons and lowers utility demand charges in large facilities. Application: multi-pump water networks and wastewater lift stations. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Level control and soft pipe fill minimize surge pressures and water hammer, protecting pipelines and reducing maintenance costs. This is particularly valuable in variable-demand systems like distribution networks and treatment facilities. Application: plant-wide network integrity and safer startup sequences. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Dry run protection prevents pump damage when flow is insufficient, improving equipment uptime and reducing costly repairs. Application: submersible and surface pump configurations in water/wastewater projects. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Quick ramps and compact, wall-mounted form factor simplify installation and commissioning, cutting installation time and enabling rapid deployment in tight plant spaces. Application: retrofits and new builds in compact treatment facilities. Feature → Business Impact → Application: Integrated energy calculator and optional Bluetooth control panel support ongoing performance monitoring, enabling data-driven maintenance and lifecycle cost reductions. Application: asset management programs and energy audits in utilities.

FAQs
The standard enclosure is IP21, designed for wall-mounted installation. An IP55 enclosure option and flange mounting variants are available to suit harsher environments and space constraints, improving protection against dust and water while enabling flexible mounting in plant rooms or outdoor areas.
Key features include sensorless flow calculation, multipump control, level control, soft pipe fill, dry run protection, and quick ramps. These capabilities reduce energy use, prevent pump damage, and simplify startup sequences in water and wastewater applications.
Yes. It is specifically designed for water and wastewater pumping, delivering energy savings, reliable pump control, and easy integration with plant controls via Drive Composer and optional Bluetooth panels, making it well-suited for municipal facilities and industrial water networks.
The standard IP21 enclosure provides basic protection for indoor installations. If the environment requires higher protection, IP55 enclosure options are available, offering better dust and water ingress resistance, ideal for more challenging plant areas or outdoor setups when combined with proper mounting.
The drive’s energy calculator, sensorless flow features, and easy commissioning via Hand-Off-Auto, Drive Composer, and optional Bluetooth control support data-driven maintenance, lower energy bills, and faster project realization, improving total cost of ownership in water infrastructure projects.
