Pentair Pentek Intellidrive PID10 Installation And Operation Manual page 11

INITIAL SETUP
INITIAL STARTUP, CONTINUED
Run the Pentair Pentek Intellidrive ® Constant

Pressure Pump Controller in this mode until the well
discharge runs clear, then press the STOP button.
RISK OF EXPLOSION. In Pump Out mode,
pump runs at a constant speed, which can cause very
high pressure if flow is restricted.
Press ENTER again.

4. Verify installation. Make sure that the system has
properly-sized, pressure-relief valve and pressure tank.
Make sure pressure tank's precharge is correct

(Table 6).
Make sure pump discharge is connected to system.

5. System Start:
Open valves at the ends of lines so that air will escape

during pressurization.
Press Auto Start; close valves at the ends of lines

after all air has escaped.
The system goes into Constant Pressure Operation

as soon as the transducer registers the Dry Run
Sensitivity parameter. Default is 10 PSI.
If system pressure does not reach that PSI value
within 3 minutes, the Intellidrive will stop. Press Auto
Start again to restart line fill. If longer priming or line
fill time is required, adjust Fill Time parameter. See
Table 5.
SERVICE FACTOR AMPS
To maximize pump performance, be sure to enter the correct
Service Factor Amps (SF Amps) in the Intellidrive.
Entering SF Amps higher than the motor rating lets the

Intellidrive supply more amps to the motor than the motor
is designed for and may allow the motor to overheat (see
Table 4).
Entering SF Amps lower than the motor rating limits the

output amps to less than the motor is designed for and will
reduce the performance of the pump.
For any 1-Phase 3-Wire motor, the correct Service Factor

Amp rating for the Intellidrive is Cap Start/Cap Run amps
(see Table 4). This may not match the motor nameplate,
which (for a Single Phase, 3-Wire motor) will generally be
Cap Start/ Induction Run Amps.
For any 3-Phase or 1 Phase, 2-Wire motor, use the motor

nameplate Service Factor Amp rating.
PN957 (25-06-20)
Pentek submersible motors may differ from motors of the

same horsepower from other manufacturers.
For 1-Phase, 3-Wire motors from all other submersible

motor manufacturers, enter the motor manufacturer's
CS/CR service factor amps for your motor.
For 3-Phase or 2-Wire 1-Phase motors, use the motor

nameplate amp value. Also see Retro Fit Applications.

CHANGING A PARAMETER VALUE
This procedure works for ANY parameter.
1. Press MAIN MENU button.
2. Follow the keypress sequence shown in Figure 12.
A shorthand way to remember this is:
Press ENTER to highlight a value

Use arrows to change valve

Press ENTER again to save it

If new value is not saved, any screen change will result in the

loss of the new value.
Table 5 lists all available commands and parameters.
