3. Introduction Welcome to the iCON iSOLAR revolution! The 4” Helical Rotor iSOLAR PDP4 increases the scope and flexibility of the iSOLAR product suite. Employing the same proven, highly efficient and innovative iSOLAR M220HR motor, the addition of a progressive cavity helical rotor wet end exploits the versatility of the motor’s operating range to deliver water even when solar...

• AC and DC compatible • AC voltage input range Single phase 90 – 280 VAC. • DC voltage input range 60 – 380 Vmpp/440Voc. • Accepts up to 3 inputs iCON iSOLAR 4” PDP Instruction Manual...
6 x 310W = 1860W, 6 x 40.3Voc = 241.8 Voc, 6 x 33.4 Vmp = 200.4 Vmp, 10.2 A Isc Adding more panels can effectively extend the length of the pumping day however the pump output is constrained by the wet-end design and maximum pump motor rpm. iCON iSOLAR 4” PDP Instruction Manual...

• Install a minimum 6mm earth strap to a ground stake. GENERATOR SIZING: Total kW of the solar array, multiplied by 1.1 then divided by 0.8 = minimum kVa required from the generator. iCON iSOLAR 4” PDP Instruction Manual...
The controller is IP65 rated but should not be exposed to direct sunlight. Install the controller where it has excellent ventilation away from direct sunlight or exposure to adverse weather. Installation inside a separate open fronted enclosure is suggested. iCON iSOLAR 4” PDP Instruction Manual...
If insufficient energy is available, the controller will switch to AC mode The pump will run only on AC power The pump will run only on DC power Pump On Pump in operational mode Pump Off Pump set to inactive state iCON iSOLAR 4” PDP Instruction Manual...
PDP4 Solar 1500 112 mm ID Example: If the total size of the solar array is 3000W, less 30% = 2100W. At peak power, it is expected to be above 2kW, so fit a shroud. iCON iSOLAR 4” PDP Instruction Manual...

• Ensure the water is drawn constantly from below the Water surface and without contamination. • A simple, buoyant method of mounting the pump is to build a pontoon from PCV fittings. iCON iSOLAR 4” PDP Instruction Manual...

The iSOLAR M220HR motor cable has an earth lead which MUST be connected to the Earth (ground circuit) of the V3 controller. If operating or testing the pump, ensure the motor is well earthed to prevent a lethal shock hazard iCON iSOLAR 4” PDP Instruction Manual...

Fitment of a pressure switch or destination float level is strongly recommended Maximum Pump Submergence is 150m Never perform insulation resistance checks using a megohmmeter as this can damage the internal motor electronics. iCON iSOLAR 4” PDP Instruction Manual...
4. Locate item (3) centrally over the three wires and commence to shrink from one end as shown in Fig.3. When sleeving is shrunk to its maximum, the cable join is complete. iCON iSOLAR 4” PDP Instruction Manual...
The controller will give a quiet click at the end of the countdown cycle and 16 seconds later the motor will attempt to run. As the motor starts, the display will indicate the energy the motor is consuming. iCON iSOLAR 4” PDP Instruction Manual...

600 (seconds). The ‘TANK FULL’ LED will switch off and the pump will commence its 120sec restart cycle. To suspend operation, press ON/OFF. The PUMP OFF LED will illuminate. iCON iSOLAR 4” PDP Instruction Manual...
The motor may have sufficient voltage but the overall wattage is too low to run the motor at the necessary head so the motor will shut down and restart until the power is stable. The same behaviour occurs if there is excessive start-up torque. iCON iSOLAR 4” PDP Instruction Manual...

To eliminate the V3 iSOLAR controller as a possible cause of any unusual behaviour, have a suitably qualified person connect the energy input from the solar array (DC) or from a 240V AC power source directly to the motor. iCON iSOLAR 4” PDP Instruction Manual...

Remove the motor from the wet-end. The motor shaft should have considerable resistance to rotation due to the internal magnetism of the motor. A motor which can be rotated freely by hand (no resistance) has lost its magnetism and should be serviced or replaced. iCON iSOLAR 4” PDP Instruction Manual...
To be assessed for possible warranty, the motor must be returned with cable and joint intact. White International require the cable be cut at least 100mm above the cable joint. If more assistance is required, contact White International iCON iSOLAR 4” PDP Instruction Manual...
