Optiflow multiple pump control technology is just one in a series of specialist features in this drive dedicated to energy efficient, flexible pump control.
Total Control
A single ‘Master’ drive acts to control and monitor system operation. Control connections are made to this drive only, saving installation time and reducing costs.
Simple Connection
Additional drives connected on the system require a single RJ45 connection and basic commissioning, leading to time savings and simplified installation.
Flexible Solution
The system can operate with up to five pumps in any configuration, e.g. Duty / Assist / Standby. Duty pumps are automatically rotated, ensuring maximum service life and system efficiency.
Consistent Flow
The required pressure and flow levels are maintained regardless of how many pumps are required. When demand increases, additional pumps are automatically brought on stream to assist and are switched off again when not required.
Reduced Downtime
In the event of a fault, or if a pump needs to be isolated for maintenance, the system will automatically continue to operate with the remaining available pumps. The mains power can even be completely isolated from the Master drive without affecting operation of the Slave drives.
Avoid Pump Downtime
Blockage Detect/Clear
Optidrive Eco can detect pump blockages and trigger a programmed cleaning cycle to automatically clear them, preventing downtime.
Dry Run Protection
Optidrive Eco can evaluate a pump’s speed/power and shut it off or warn when the pump starts to run dry, protecting it from heat/friction damage.
Motor Preheat Function
Optidrive Eco features a motor preheat function to help ensure moisture is not permitted to collect on the motor in periods of inactivity and prior to motor start up. In addition, the motor preheat function can be used to keep condensation from developing on the motor as the motor cools down immediately following a stop. The feature is fully configurable, meaning the pump can be always available the instant it is required.
Pump Stir Cycle
Triggered by a settable period of inactivity, a configurable cleaning cycle can be run to clear sediment, ensuring the pump is ready to run when needed.
