function keys eliminating the need for a sophisticated menu system. Pump output is displayed as Gallons or Liters per
Hour (GPH/LPH), Gallons or Liters per Minute (GPM/LPM), or Revolutions per Minute (RPM).
Digital and analog inputs will support a variety of industry standard signals to offer flexible remote control. Digital and
analog outputs provide for system monitoring.
The MPC VECTOR is designed to simplify and automate the calibration of pump flow and analog signals. Flow
calibration uses on-screen prompting and automated pump operation to ease flow setup. Once calibration is provided, all
subsequent flow monitoring may be done using flow units. Analog signal calibration is also accomplished by simple
keypad entry. It includes a real-time display of signal level. This eliminates the need for external meters.
The MPC VECTOR is an advanced pump flow rate controller whose purpose is to precisely adjust output flow of a
process media by means of pump motor speed control. The MPC Vector can be controlled and monitored via remote
SCADA control or a local hand-held user interface. The controller can operate in two system level modes, two
operational modes, and two control modes. See below for detail on mode descriptions.

System Input/Output Power Ratings

The MPC VECTOR will accept, and automatically adjust to, either 50 Hz or 60 Hz input power. No special
modifications, settings, or adjustments are required.
The MPC VECTOR controller can be supplied with a 60 Hz, 50 Hz, or dual rated 50/60 Hz motor. The controller/motor
combination allows for 60 Hz rated pump flow (1800 rpm motor speed) even when operating from a 50 Hz input.
Note: Users in locations with 50 Hz AC supply do not have to de-rate pump flow with this controller.
Minimum motor speed will be pump and motor type dependent and can be user configurable via a turndown ratio to work
with various applications. (See SYSTEM SETUP: turndown/motor setup)
Input Frequency
60 Hz (USA and similar)
50 Hz (Europe, Asia, etc)
The motor, used in conjunction with MPC VECTOR controller, whether supplied from Pulsafeeder or by the user must
be a three-phase inverter duty/ready) motor. The three-phase power delivered to the pump motor is generated
internally by the MPC VECTOR controller. Input power ratings provided to the MPC VECTOR can be single-phase
208-230, three-phase 208- 230, or 3 phase 480VAC (see Section 13 Specifications for acceptable voltage ranges and
tolerances). The nameplate on the front of your MPC VECTOR controller will list the appropriate supply requirements
for your controller.
