The Franklin Electric SubDrive/MonoDrive is a dependable residential water system controller that uses advanced electronics to enhance the performance of standard submersible pumps. When used with the specified Franklin Electric motor (see Table 1, pg. 4), the SubDrive/ MonoDrive eliminates pressure cycling associated with conventional water well systems and owners of private water well systems can enjoy “city-like”...

SubDrive/MonoDrive How it Works The Franklin Electric SubDrive/MonoDrive is designed to be part of a system that consists of only four components: A. Standard Pump and Franklin Electric Motor B. SubDrive/MonoDrive Controller C. Small Pressure Tank (see Table 4, pg. 29) D.

MonoDrive and a pressure sensor. If the existing pump, motor and pressure tank are in good working order, no further changes are needed. MonoDrive controllers are ideal whenever the Franklin Electric single-phase 3-wire series motor is preferred. MonoDrives are especially suited for retrofit applications where a 3-wire pump system is already installed and in good operating condition.
Flow GPM The SubDrive75 can also be set up to run a 1.0 hp (0.75 kW) or 1.5 hp (1.1 kW) pump if desired, but larger pumps will still produce to the 1.5 hp (1.1 kW) curve and may only be operated with a 1.5 hp (1.1 kW) motor.
The SubDrive100 is configured at the factory for use with 1.0 hp (0.75 kW) pumps that are mounted to 2.0 hp (1.5 kW) Franklin Electric three-phase motors. In general, the SubDrive100 will enhance the performance of a 1.0 hp (0.75 kW) pump to a similar or better performance than a conventional 2.0 hp (1.5 kW) pump of the same flow rating (pump series).
The SubDrive150 is configured at the factory for use with 1.5 hp (1.1 kW) pumps that are mounted to 3.0 hp (2.2 kW) Franklin Electric three-phase motors. In general, the SubDrive150 will enhance the performance of a 1.5 hp (1.1 kW) pump to a similar or better performance than a conventional 3.0 hp (2.2 kW) pump of the same flow rating (pump series).
The SubDrive300 is configured at the factory for use with 3.0 hp (2.2 kW) pumps that are mounted to 5.0 hp (3.7 kW) Franklin Electric three-phase motors. In general, the SubDrive300 will enhance the performance of a 3.0 hp (2.2 kW) pump to a similar or better performance than a conventional 5.0 hp (3.7 kW) pump of the same flow rating (pump series).
SubDrive/MonoDrive Pump Sizing – SubDrive2W The SubDrive2W is designed to convert a conventional 1/2 hp (0.37 kW), 3/4 hp (0.55 kW) or 1.0 hp (0.75 kW) pump system to a variable speed constant pressure system by simply replacing the pressure switch. Maximum pump output using the SubDrive2W is similar to the performance achieved using a pressure switch.
SubDrive/MonoDrive Pump Sizing – MonoDrive The MonoDrive is designed to convert a conventional 1/2 hp (0.37 kW), 3/4 hp (0.55 kW) or 1.0 hp (0.75 kW) pump system to a variable speed constant pressure system by simply replacing the 3-wire control box and pressure switch. Maximum pump output using the MonoDrive is similar to the performance achieved using a conventional control box.
SubDrive/MonoDrive Pump Sizing – MonoDriveXT The MonoDriveXT is designed to convert a conventional 1.5 hp (1.1 kW) or 2.0 hp (1.5 kW) pump system to a variable speed constant pressure system by simply replacing the 3-wire control box and pressure switch. Maximum pump output using the MonoDriveXT is similar to the performance achieved using a conventional control box.
SubDrive/MonoDrive Underload Sensitivity Selection (NEMA 1) – SubDrive75/100/150, MonoDrive, MonoDriveXT The SubDrive/MonoDrive controller is configured at the factory to ensure detection of Underload faults in a wide variety of pumping applications. In rare cases (as with certain pumps in shallow wells) this trip level may result in nuisance faults. If the pump is installed in a shallow well, activate the controller and observe system behavior.

SubDrive/MonoDrive Underload Sensitivity Selection NEMA 4 and NEMA 3R The SubDrive/MonoDrive controller is configured at the factory to ensure detection of Underload faults in a wide variety of pumping applications. In rare cases (as with certain pumps in shallow wells) this trip level may result in nuisance faults. If the pump is installed in a shallow well, activate the controller and observe system behavior.

SubDrive/MonoDrive Steady Flow Selection SubDrive75/100/150/300, SubDrive2W/MonoDrive/MonoDriveXT The SubDrive/MonoDrive controller is configured at the factory to ensure quick response to maintain constant pressure. In rare cases (as with a water line tap before the pressure tank), the controller may need to be adjusted to offer better control.
SubDrive/MonoDrive Sleep Mode The SubDrive2W has been configured with a Sleep mode to disable the unit in the event the end-user requires it. The Sleep mode can be enabled by pressing the Sleep mode button found on the bottom of the unit for five (5) seconds. The Status indicator will display 3 horizontal segments.
SubDrive/MonoDrive System Run Relay – SubDrive300/SubDrive2W The SubDrive300/SubDrive2W is fitted with a relay output that activates (normally-open contact will close) whenever the system is actively pumping. This relay may be used to control other water system equipment such as water treatment systems that need to operate only when water is being used.
SubDrive/MonoDrive Generator Sizing for SubDrive/MonoDrive Basic generator sizing for the Franklin Electric SubDrive/MonoDrive system is 1.5 times maximum input Watts consumed by the drive, rounded up to the next normal sized generator. Recommended minimum generator sizes: MonoDrive SubDrive75 = 3500 Watts (3.5 kW) 1/2 hp (0.37 kW) = 2000 Watts (2 kW)

Strain Relief Sealing Body SubDrive75/100/150 and MonoDrive/XT • Carefully punch out the outermost knockout hole on the bottom side of the drive. See FIGURE 8 below. • Install the strain relief body and locking nut as shown in FIGURE 9 below.
SubDrive/MonoDrive Start-Up and Operation Apply power to the controller. A steady green light indicates that the SubDrive/MonoDrive has power but the pump is not running. The green light will flash continuously when the pump is running. Leaky Systems Leaky water systems might keep the controller running due to the accurate pressure sensing capability of the pressure sensor.
