MATelec HydroSTART FPC-81141-CON Mild Steel IP54 1PH 0.1-6A/5-16A Single Pump Controller with Conductivity Probes

Conductivity probe level detection can be utilized for single-pump installations mounted indoors. This single-phase 230Vac single-pump panel incorporates a Conductivity Module providing low-voltage inputs for up to 5 conductivity probes plus common, housed in a single-door indoor enclosure.

The Conductivity Module connects to the control module via ME-NET and includes a programmable 0 to 10 second delay between probe signal received and signal sent to the control module, assisting in alleviating false alarms. The controller operates in level mode, starting the pump on duty start probe detection and stopping it when the level recedes below the duty stop probe. Electronic current sensing provides overload protection across selectable 0.1–6A and 5–16A ranges on a modified D trip curve.

The enclosure door features a capacitive touch keypad with indicator lights for power, system enable, probe input status, pump mode (auto/manual/off), pump run, and fault codes. An audible alarm buzzer with smart chirp silencing and an integrated visual strobe provide local fault notification. Additional protections include low level lockout, undercurrent, and zero current monitoring.

The unit is housed in a 400 x 300 x 150 mm powder-coated mild steel enclosure with a single door, rated IP54 for indoor mounting. Features include a padlockable mains isolator, individual pump circuit breaker, removable gland plate, volt-free BMS common fault output, and Modbus RTU Serial RS485 connections for SCADA.
