Pentair Pentek Solar Drive Sensor Settings - Pentair Pentek Solar Drive PSD30 Installation And Operation Manual

PENTAIR PENTEK
DIP Switch 11- Max Frequency: See Figure 15. Offers
an option for setting the maximum frequency for motor
operation. This can be helpful to reduce pump flow.
If DIP switch 11 is OFF (down) (default) the maximum motor
load frequency is set to 60Hz. If ON (up), the maximum
frequency is set to 55Hz for standard 60Hz AC motors.
If the Pentair Pentek Solar Drive is controlling a 50Hz motor,
defined by DIP switch 3, then the OFF position is 50Hz,
while the ON position indicates 45Hz maximum frequency
operation.
The Pentair Pentek Solar Drive controller can be turned ON or OFF remotely by using a digital
input or by using a standard float switch. There is a float switch terminal block (Figure 6 on
page 8) where digital signal wires are connected.
If Digital Inputs 1 and G experience a short circuit, the Pentair Pentek Solar Drive automatically
turns off. Similarly, if Digital Input 2 and G experience an open circuit, the Pentair Pentek Solar
Drive automatically turns off. There are numerous remote sensors that can be used: float switch,
pressure switch, flow switch, water level sensor, dry run protection, etc. Ask your dealer about
configuring sensors and switches for your application.

A typical example of how tank and well switch signals can be used with a digital input port is
shown in Figure 16. For a tank application, if the active wire is connected to Position 1 and the
return wire (usually black) is connected to Position G, then the Pentair Pentek Solar Drive will stop
the pump when the tank gets full because Terminals 1 and G will be "shorted" (active short). This
turns off the Pentair Pentek Solar Drive.
For a well application, if the active wire is connected to Position 2 and the return wire (usually
black) is connected to Position G, then the Pentair Pentek Solar Drive will stop the pump when
the well runs out of water because Terminals 2 and G will be "open" (active open). This turns off
the Pentair Pentek Solar Drive.
