Its IP54 powder-coated mild steel cabinet has a single-door layout for clean utility room mounting. This dual-pump level controller coordinates drainage or transfer systems to keep active inflows balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe panel connects to a standard three-phase 400 Vac electrical supply, utilizing an active neutral wire for the board. It features electronic overload protection using external current transformers, with selectable ranges of 0.1 to 6 Amps and 5 to 16 Amps. To monitor three-phase currents, two current transformers per pump track two supply phase lines. This provides reliable digital current sensing and phase monitoring for the dual pumps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe controller provides selectable level-empty and pressure-boosting operating modes for the dual three-phase pumps. Level control empty uses up to five float switches, while pressure-boosting setups use up to three pressure switches. The panel supports standard duty alternation every 30 minutes or recirculation alternation after 6 hours. Both three-phase pumps are started with a three-second staggered start delay to protect local electrical lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe indoor IP54 cabinet is fitted with contactors for three-phase switching and individual circuit breakers. The dual-pump capacitive keypad features status indicators and manual mode select buttons. Alarm signals activate a visual strobe and audible buzzer alarms provide indication of system faults, with smart chirp mode silencing the alarm after five minutes. Modbus RTU RS485 terminals support SCADA communication, and a common fault contact connects to BMS. Software safety includes low-level protection and a 7-day pump anti-seize cycle.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividual pump circuit breakers providing electrical protection and isolation for each pump.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent-transformer current sensing providing selectable low (0.1–6 A) and high (5–16 A) overload ranges.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic 3-second staggered pump start delay designed to reduce excessive current draw and water surge.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomated duty sharing and alternation with selectable standard start-based or accumulated run-time modes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad-lockable mains power isolator switch on the front panel to guarantee high physical safety.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolt-free common fault contacts and Modbus RTU RS485 terminals for remote SCADA integration.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacitive touch interface with dedicated indicator lights for system power, pump run, and level alarms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Matelec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51099293253879,"sku":"FPC-81243","price":1823.16,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/0116\/3767\/files\/matelec-hydrostart-fpc-81243-mild-steel-ip54-single-door-three-phase-dol-dual-pump-controller.png?v=1788339280","url":"https:\/\/foundationpumps.com.au\/products\/matelec-hydrostart-fpc-81243-mild-steel-ip54-single-door-three-phase-dol-dual-pump-controller","provider":"Foundation Pumps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
