This single-phase 230Vac dual-pump panel incorporates a generator input socket and a manual changeover switch alongside standard automated pump control functions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe controller manages two single-phase pump outputs with automatic duty alternation on start and after 30 minutes of continuous running, or after 6 hours in recirculation mode. When the standby start input closes, the second pump starts to assist. A 3-second staggered start delay prevents simultaneous pump starts to reduce electrical current draw and water surge. Independent electronic current sensing provides motor overload protection across selectable 0.1–6A and 5–16A ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe panel features a dual-pump capacitive touch keypad with indicator lights for power, system enable, level alarms, pump auto\/manual modes, pump run, and fault codes. An integrated visual strobe and audible buzzer with smart chirp silencing provide local fault notifications. Configurable DIP switches support Level Control mode with up to 5 float switches or Pressure Control mode with up to 3 pressure switches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHoused in a 400 x 400 x 200 mm powder-coated mild steel enclosure with an inner door, the unit is IP56 rated for outdoor mounting. Hardware includes a padlockable mains isolator, individual pump circuit breakers, a removable gland plate, a volt-free BMS common fault output, and Modbus RTU Serial RS485 connections for SCADA.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePowder-coated mild steel enclosure measuring 400 mm high by 400 mm wide by 200 mm deep with removable gland plate\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIP56 rated with inner door, for outdoor mounting\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated generator input socket and manual changeover switch\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSingle-phase 230Vac supply voltage operating two pumps with 240Vac switched outputs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAutomatic duty alternation on start and runtime, standby pump assist, and fault alternation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3-second staggered pump start delay to reduce electrical inrush and water surge\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIndependent electronic current sensing per pump with selectable 0.1–6A and 5–16A overload ranges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual-pump capacitive touch keypad with status LEDs, mute\/reset, and mode selection buttons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePadlockable mains isolator, individual circuit breakers, volt-free BMS fault output, and RS-485 port\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Matelec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51128177426679,"sku":"FPC-82241-GEN","price":3009.35,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/0116\/3767\/files\/matelec-hydrostart-fpc-82241-gen-mild-steel-ip56-1ph-dual-pump-controller-generator-input.png?v=1788856775","url":"https:\/\/foundationpumps.com.au\/products\/matelec-hydrostart-fpc-82241-gen-mild-steel-ip56-1ph-dual-pump-controller-generator-input","provider":"Foundation Pumps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
