MATelec HydroWHIZ FPC-63343-S5.5 Mild Steel IP56 Inner Door 3PH 5.5kW Soft Start Triple Pump Controller

The FPC-63343-S5.5 combines three-pump HydroWHIZ control with a 5.5kW soft starter for each pump. Operating from a three-phase 400Vac supply, it provides adjustable soft start and stop operation together with level, pressure and temperature control through the colour touchscreen HMI.

Its IP56-rated powder-coated mild steel enclosure has an inner door and removable gland plate. Protection includes a pad-lockable mains power isolator switch, circuit breaker protected low-voltage control and input circuitry, individual pump isolation, contactor and thermal overload protection of pump motors, and DIN rail-mounted terminal connections. Visual strobe and mutable audible buzzer alarms are provided.

A 4–20mA analogue input supports level, pressure or temperature transducers, while up to 8 digital 24Vdc inputs accommodate low, stop, start, standby start and high float switches, pressure switches or thermostats, system enable/disable and low flow functions. Thermal switch inputs are available for each three-phase pump.

The three pump outputs support duty, duty-assist and standby configurations, with adjustable duty sharing and alternation using bumpless transfer. Pump limiting restricts maximum flow or power requirements, while staging and destaging manages additional pump operation. Manual control, anti-seize, maximum run, pump cycle, no flow, feedback signal fault, pump overload, thermal switch and high/low level, pressure and temperature protection are included. Temperature control includes sleep operation.

The system enable input allows the system to be enabled or disabled in automatic mode and can support auxiliary tank level protection. The HMI provides time and date-stamped alarms, logged data, trend graphs and diagnostics. Common fault, 0–10V analogue output mirroring the analogue input and Modbus RTU Serial RS485 connections for SCADA are provided.
