The enclosure features an inner door configuration to isolate active electronics from the elements. This single-phase 230 Vac level controller handles drainage or sump applications.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis level controller is rated for single-phase 230 Vac mains supply, distributing power to a single pump. It utilizes a standard external thermal overload relay with a 12 to 18 Amp rating to prevent motor winding damage. The bimetallic strip within the relay deflects when exposed to sustained overcurrent, interrupting the switching circuit. Resetting the fault is temporarily blocked during the automatic bimetallic cooldown phase.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe single-pump controller is selectable for level-empty sump pits or pressure-boosting applications via DIP switch 1. Up to four floats manage level empty start and stop limits, while a pressure switch controls pressure starting. Keypad operation allows manual pump running, and setting DIP switch 5 to on enables a five-minute manual timeout to automatically restore auto operation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe outdoor IP56 cabinet provides physical isolation with a secure inner door and padlockable main isolator. Keypad buttons enable mode selection, with LEDs tracking active input floats and alarm status. Alarm circuits trigger a visual strobe and audible buzzer alarms provide indication of system faults, featuring smart chirp silence. System telemetry is supported via Modbus RTU RS485 and a volt-free common fault contact. Software safeguards include low-level lockout and a 7-day pump anti-seize program.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOn-board RS485 connection terminal enabling Modbus RTU communication directly with SCADA systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVolt-free common fault contact providing remote alarm status telemetry for building management systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCapacitive touch user interface featuring scannable indicator lights and mute\/reset keypad buttons.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStandard external thermal overload relay adjustable between 12 and 18 Amps for primary motor protection.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndividual pump circuit breakers providing electrical protection and isolation for each pump.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMechanical bimetallic overload elements that deflect during overcurrent to isolate starter contactor coils.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePad-lockable mains power isolator switch to physically isolate supply lines for technical diagnostics.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Matelec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51099293057271,"sku":"FPC-82141-E","price":1694.55,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/0116\/3767\/files\/matelec-hydrostart-fpc-82141-e-mild-steel-ip56-inner-door-1ph-dol-single-pump-controller.png?v=1788339271","url":"https:\/\/foundationpumps.com.au\/products\/matelec-hydrostart-fpc-82141-e-mild-steel-ip56-inner-door-1ph-dol-single-pump-controller","provider":"Foundation Pumps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
