Housed in an IP56 powder-coated mild steel enclosure with a secure inner door, the system provides high durability in demanding outdoor or indoor installations. The controller incorporates soft starters rated at 11kW per pump, with adjustable acceleration and deceleration settings to gently ramp motor speeds, reducing pipeline water hammer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe board operates in level empty control mode using float switches, or pressure boost mode via pressure switches. The standard terminal setup connects low level, duty stop, duty start, standby start, high level, and system enable inputs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExternal bimetallic thermal overloads protect the pump motors by cutting power in the event of high current draw. This bimetallic relay is set according to the pump's full load current rating. An anti-seize timer runs idle motors for five seconds every seven days to prevent mechanical locking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe enclosure has a removable gland plate to simplify cable entry and a padlockable mains power isolator for lock-out safety. Prior to installation or servicing, all supply circuits must be isolated to prevent electrical hazards or personal harm. All electrical connections must be carried out by a suitably qualified and registered electrician in accordance with relevant electrical standards.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFEATURES\u003c\/strong\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn onboard power supply converter that steps down supply voltage to 12Vdc low-voltage power to protect internal switch input lines.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA capacitive keypad interface on the inner panel with dedicated LED status indicator lights for levels, running pumps, and system faults.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAn audible alarm buzzer that silences itself after five minutes of sounding, transitioning to a brief two-second chirp every five minutes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect serial RS485 terminal connections on the control board supporting Modbus RTU communication protocol for SCADA networks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA keypad manual mode configuration that can be set with a five-minute timeout to automatically return the pump to automatic control.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-level alarm selectable for a fifteen-minute delay with automatic reset, or a one-minute sewage delay with manual reset.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Matelec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51099595210999,"sku":"FPC-82243-S11","price":7466.45,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/0116\/3767\/files\/matelec-hydrostart-fpc-82243-s11-3ph-11-kw-soft-starter-controller.png?v=1788345391","url":"https:\/\/foundationpumps.com.au\/products\/matelec-hydrostart-fpc-82243-s11-3ph-11-kw-soft-starter-controller","provider":"Foundation Pumps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
