The powder-coated mild steel housing features an inner door that isolates power and control components, a removable gland plate, and a pad-lockable mains power isolator switch. Wear balancing is managed by a duty sharing algorithm that rotates the duty pump based on run hour logs to equalise pump usage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eDesigned for a 230Vac electrical network, the control board governs pump contactors to activate the motors safely. Individual pump protection is provided by standard thermal overloads rated for 12-18A, providing thermal overload protection. Low-voltage control circuits operate on a circuit-breaker protected 24Vdc supply, isolating field float switches from high-voltage supply lines.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe module handles distinct pumping types, regulating level empty wet wells, pressure boosting, or temperature control. The control board receives an analogue 4-20mA transducer input alongside up to eight digital inputs for float switches, pressure switches, or thermostats. Multi-pump staging uses a 3-second staggered start delay and a 1-second staggered stop delay to prevent excessive current draw and reduce water surge or water hammer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe colour touchscreen HMI on the inner door displays real-time system status, logged data, date-stamped historical faults, and analog trend graphs. System faults trigger an integrated visual strobe and a mutable buzzer alarm, with a mute function. The BMS hardware provides individual volt-free outputs to report power status, high level alarms, pump runs, and individual pump faults. System protective routines integrate transducer failure protection, cycle count limits, high and low level protection, 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\u003eEnclosure ground bonding terminal blocks to provide electrical earthing of the panel assembly.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated RS485 serial communication port enabling Modbus RTU telemetry to master PLC networks.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRemovable gland plate to facilitate simple site conduit wiring access.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntegrated real-time clock backed by an onboard coin-cell battery for precise timestamping of system events.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDIN-rail mounted BMS terminal strip with standard screw connections for multi-core signal wiring.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBMS volt-free relay contact outputs dedicated to remote monitoring of power status and power failure on-site.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDedicated volt-free relay terminal for high level alarm reporting to central building management systems.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Matelec","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51099713569015,"sku":"FPC-63241-E\/BMS","price":3361.29,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0927\/0116\/3767\/files\/matelec-hydrowhiz-fpc-63241-e-bms-mild-steel-ip56-inner-door-1ph-dol-dual-pump-controller.png?v=1788348682","url":"https:\/\/foundationpumps.com.au\/products\/matelec-hydrowhiz-fpc-63241-e-bms-mild-steel-ip56-inner-door-1ph-dol-dual-pump-controller","provider":"Foundation Pumps","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
