DrivE-Tech 1. Introduction 1.1. Purpose of the manual The purpose of this manual is to provide users with detailed information on the installation, operation, and mainte- nance of the product, with special regard to safety regulations. WARNING Read the manual carefully before installing and using the product. WARNING Failure to follow the instructions may result in damage to the product, the system in which it is installed and, in the worst cases, damage to property or persons with even fatal consequences.
DrivE-Tech • record the operating hours and, based on these, the errors and faults reported by the system • control two other D.O.L. (Direct On Line) pumps at constant speed • connect to other devices to obtain combined operation Appropriate output filters, available upon request, allow reducing the dangerous overvoltages that are generated in very long cables and, therefore, make the device ideal also for controlling submerged pumps.

DrivE-Tech It is generally sufficient to place a pressure vessel with a volume of about 10% of the maximum flow rate required, considered in liters/minute. Example If the maximum flow rate required is 60 l/min, it is sufficient to use a 6 liter pressure vessel. If the maximum flow rate required is 60 GPM, it is sufficient to use a 6 gallons pressure vessel.
