Conventions used in this manual. In the manual the following symbols will be used: Generic danger. Failure to comply with the safety regulations that follow can irreparably damage the controller or equipment. Electric shock risk. Failure to comply with the safety regulations that follow can cause death or serious injury. WARNINGS Read this manual carefully before any operation.
The Controller has many operation modes by adopting different electrical installations. Important features that distinguish the Bianco Icon Series Intelligent Pump Controllers from some other controllers are the push button calibration of overload and ability for dry run protection without float switches or probes.

1.3 Meanings of the icons shown on the LCD. Icon Meaning / Description pump parameter configuration icon, when this icon appears, pump control box is parameter setting time displaying icon, when this icon appears, it means pump control box is displaying some parameter of time, eg: pump accumulated running time (unit: hour);...
2.0 GENERAL 2.1 Electrical connection to the power supply and pump Main Circuit Breaker DANGER. Electric shock risk. Before carrying out any installation or maintenance operation, the control panel should be disconnected from the power supply and one should wait at least 2 minutes before opening the control panel. Never connect AC power to output L1 N1 terminals.
2.2 Connections for pump over temperature protection (where supplied with pump). Jumper Lead Note: to realize the pump motor winding over temperature protection, it requires that there must be over-temperature switches embedded in the pump motor winding (microtherms as fitted to Zenit 3ph pumps 2.2 kW or greater). To utilise the pump’s over temperature protection connect the pump’s microtherm leads to terminals 10 and 12 and remove the jumper.
3.0 INSTALLATION DRAINAGE PUMPS – FLOATS CONNECTED TO PANEL 3.1 Function switch setting - DRAINAGE Installers can set the function switch to meet different applications. Before setting the function switch, the control panel should be disconnected from the power supply. After completing the setting, apply power to the control panel and observe the application sign displayed on the LCD conforming to the DRAINAGE symbol.
3.2 Electrical connections for DRAINAGE applications 3.2.1 Drainage by liquid level control through float switches or probes Note: for 3 float switch installation connect float switch A (pump off) to terminals 1 and 3, float switch B (pump on) to terminals 1 and 5 and float switch C (alarm) to terminals 2 and 6.

Stop condition Liquid level in the sump is below lower probe (float switch A down) the control panel will stop the pump. Start condition Liquid level in the sump reaches upper probe (float switch A up) the control panel will run the pump. Alarm condition While pumping, if the liquid level rises in the sump to overflow probe (float switch B up), the control panel will sound the alarm to warn the user to take further action.
4.0 INSTALLATION DRAINAGE PUMPS – FLOAT CONNECTED TO PUMP 4.1 Function switch setting – DRAINAGE WITH AUTOMATIC PUMP Installers can set the function switch to meet different applications. Before setting the function switch, the control panel should be disconnected from the power supply. After completing the setting, apply power to the control panel and observe the application sign displayed on the LCD conforming to the DRAINAGE symbol.
4.2 Electrical connections for DRAINAGE applications WITH AUTOMATIC PUMP 4.2.1 Drainage by liquid level control through float switches or probes Note: for drainage with automatic pump, float A is not used and terminals 1, 3, and 5 are bridged Note: for “3 wire” floats use black and brown wires. Terminate blue wire with closed end connector. Alarm float B connected to terminals 2 and 6.

Stop condition Liquid level in the sump is below automatic pump float switch off position which will stop the pump. Start condition Liquid level in the sump is above automatic pump float switch on position which will run the pump. Alarm condition While pumping, if the liquid level rises in the sump to overflow probe (float switch B up), the control panel will sound the alarm to warn the user to take further action.
5.0 INSTALLATION – BOOSTING 5.1 Function switch setting - BOOSTING Installers can set the function switch to meet different applications. Before setting the function switch, the control panel should be disconnected from the power supply. After completing the setting, apply power to the control panel and observe the application sign displayed on the LCD conforming to the BOOSTING symbol.

Start condition If the pressure in the pipeline drops to the starting pressure on the pressure switch, and the liquid level in the water well is above the lower probe (float switch up), the control panel will run the pump. Stop condition If the pressure in the pipeline reaches the stopping pressure on the pressure switch, the control panel will stop the pump.
6.0 INSTALLATION – TRANSFER 6.1 Function switch setting - TRANSFER Installers can set the function switch to meet different applications. Before setting the function switch, the control panel should be disconnected from the power supply. After completing the setting, apply power to the control panel and observe the application sign displayed on the LCD conforming to the TRANSFER symbol.

Start condition If liquid level in the water tank is below lower probe (float switch down) and liquid level in the water well above lower probe (float switch up), the control will run the pump. Stop condition If liquid level in the water tank reached upper probe (float switch up) and liquid level in the water well is below lower probe (float switch down), the control will stop the pump.
7.0 OPERATION 7.1 Parameter calibration and erasing. To achieve best level of protection of the pump, it is essential that parameter calibration be done immediately after successful pump installation or pump maintenance. Setting the parameter calibration. Pump/s must be able to pump water to enable correct calibration. If pumps are calibrated without water, overload and pump stalled errors may occur later.
Erasing the parameter calibration. Press the MODE key to switch to manual state. If the control panel is locked press MODE and STORE keys at the same time to unlock and go into manual mode. Make sure the pump is not running and LCD is displaying: Press the STOP key for 30 seconds;...
7.6 Last five failure record The control panel can memorize the last five failures of pump, so it is very convenient for the users to analyse the pump running conditions. Displaying the last five failure record. Press the MODE key to switch to manual state, make sure the pump is not running and the LCD screen is displaying: Hold pressing STOP key and press MODE key, the control panel makes a “beep”...
Hold pressing the STORE key and press the STOP key. The control panel makes a “beep” sound and displays the accumulative run time. The pump has run for 23 hours. Press the STOP key to quit the accumulative running time display. 8.0 Communication link.
8.1 Basic function. Slave Controller (SC) with communication interface can realize long distance monitoring. In the control room, users can realize all the functions of the master control panel through the SC, except parameter calibration and adjusting. 8.2 Special application. As adopting communication interface, the wire communication distance is less than 1200 metres.
