This level controller is enclosed in a powder-coated mild steel housing with an inner door for outdoor mounting. It manages wastewater transfer, sump pits, or drainage networks.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe outdoor dual-pump controller is powered by a standard three-phase 400 Vac supply with neutral. It features integrated current sensing utilizing externally mounted current transformers, offering selectable ranges of 0.1 to 6 Amps and 5 to 16 Amps. Two current transformers per pump are installed to track two phases of the active motor line. The controller continuously monitors these CT inputs to safeguard both pump windings.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe level controller provides selectable level-empty or pressure-boosting control modes for the dual three-phase pumps. Level Empty is controlled by up to five float switches, while Pressure Boost is governed by up to three pressure switches. The system features standard duty alternation on start or after 30 minutes, and 6-hour recirculation alternation. Staggered pump-start delays protect heavy three-phase power lines from current draw spikes during high inflows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe outdoor-rated IP56 mild steel enclosure has a protective inner door and padlockable isolator. System diagnostics are displayed on the dual-pump capacitive keypad, which integrates mute and reset buttons. Onboard diagnostics activate a visual strobe and audible buzzer alarms provide indication of system faults, with smart chirp mode silencing the buzzer after five minutes. External SCADA systems connect via Modbus RTU RS485 terminals, and BMS links utilize a common fault contact. Software features include low level 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\u003ePad-lockable mains power isolator switch on the front panel to guarantee high physical safety.\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\u003eCurrent-transformer current sensing providing selectable low (0.1–6 A) and high (5–16 A) overload ranges.\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\u003eIndividual pump circuit breakers providing electrical protection and isolation for each pump.\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":51099293483255,"sku":"FPC-82243","price":2116.8,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/0116\/3767\/files\/matelec-hydrostart-fpc-82243-mild-steel-ip56-inner-door-three-phase-dol-dual-pump-controller.png?v=1788339287","url":"https:\/\/foundationpumps.com.au\/products\/matelec-hydrostart-fpc-82243-mild-steel-ip56-inner-door-three-phase-dol-dual-pump-controller","provider":"Foundation Pumps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
