This deluxe rain mains controller from MATelec handles the bigger motors while keeping the same rain-first, mains-backup logic.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe controller monitors the stored rain water level through the low-level float switch input and watches the system pressure via the working pressure switch input. When rain water is available, it pulse closes the mains valve and lets the pressure switch manage the pump. When the tank empties, the pump faults or power drops, the controller shuts the pump down and pulses the valve open for mains water.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAt the front, an electronic keypad with indicator lights shows the current water source and system status at a glance. The system test button lets you verify pump and valve operation during commissioning or routine maintenance checks without needing to simulate fault conditions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe enclosure is IP56 powder coated mild steel at 400x300x200mm with an inner door and removable gland plate. Protection includes a padlockable mains isolator, circuit breaker protected low voltage control and input circuitry, and a contactor with thermal overload that triggers a pump shutdown on overload.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFixed 12-18A thermal overload protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP56 powder coated mild steel enclosure with inner door and removable gland plate.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e400x300x200mm enclosure size.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle phase 230Vac supply.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo 12Vdc digital inputs for low-level float switch and working pressure switch.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e12Vdc output for pulse latching solenoid valve.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e25mm female\/female 12Vdc pulse latching solenoid valve included.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eElectronic keypad with rain, mains and fault indicators plus system test button.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePadlockable mains isolator, circuit breaker protection and contactor with thermal overload.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePump overload shut-down protection as fault response.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e316 stainless steel enclosure and generator changeover available as optional modifications.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Matelec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51127980163319,"sku":"FPC-12724-E","price":1726.7,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/0116\/3767\/files\/matelec-fpc-12724-e-mild-steel-ip56-1ph-rain-mains-controller.png?v=1788852624","url":"https:\/\/foundationpumps.com.au\/products\/matelec-fpc-12724-e-mild-steel-ip56-1ph-rain-mains-controller","provider":"Foundation Pumps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
