Pentair Pentek Solar Drive Dip Switch Settings - Pentair Pentek Solar Drive PSD30 Installation And Operation Manual

PENTAIR PENTEK
The Pentair Pentek Solar Drive controller can operate most Pentek 4" submersible three wire
motors: single or three-phase; 50 or 60Hz; 120Vac or 230Vac. In order for the Pentair Pentek
Solar Drive to match the motor specifications, the first three DIP switches on the left are used for
motor selection (see Figure 9).
DIP Switch 1 – 120/230Vac: If switched ON
(up), the unit is configured for 120Vac pump
operation; if switched OFF (down), the unit is
configured for 230Vac.
DIP Switch 2 – 1/3 phase: If switched ON (up),
the unit is configured for single-phase motor
operation; if switched OFF (down), the unit is
configured for three-phase motor operation.
DIP Switch 3 – 50/60Hz: If switched ON (up),
the unit is configured for 50Hz motors; if switched
OFF (down), the unit is configured for 60Hz motors.
DIP Switches 4 and 5 – Minimum Operating
Motor Frequency: It is possible to set up a
minimum operating motor frequency. This is
important when there is not enough solar power
available to pump water due to high dynamic head.
In order to prevent "dead heading," it is possible to
set the minimum frequency in the range of 30 to
45Hz, using a combination of DIP switches 4 and
5 as shown in Figure 10.
NOTE: The Pentair Pentek Solar Drive' s default
minimum Hz setting is 30Hz.
DIP Switches 6 and 7 – Over-current Protection: The Pentair Pentek Solar Drive can set over-
current protection based on the motor pump and controller combination being used. Figure 11
shows how to set up over-current protection using DIP switches 6 and 7. The default value of
RMS current (when both switches are OFF) is 13A for single phase, and 10.5A for three phase.
DIP switches 6 and 7 are to be used to match or exceed the motor nameplate' s SFAMPS in order
to protect from over-current. For example, if a single phase motor has SFAMPS: 9A then DIP
switches 6 and 7 have to be set for 11.5A, as this is the next highest protection current for this
motor. Configuring over-current protection also configures automatic Dry Well Protection. The
Pentair Pentek Solar Drive monitors motor amperage for dry well protection, and no other dry
well sensor input is needed unless desired.
