DRIVE-TECH - A NEW GENERATION OF VFD DRIVE-TECH The new line of VFD DrivE-Tech has been designed and developed to optimize, control and protect pumping systems built with different kind of pumps like vertical multistage, centrifugal and submersible. DrivE-Tech can work in applications like domestic, water supply, irrigation, commercial, HVAC, washing and more – it is suitable to operate in most of new or existing systems. The installation of a DrivE-Tech allows the user to gain important benefits like: Reduced energy consumption with remarkable cost saving Longer life of pumping system...

INSTALLATION TIPS AND SET UP OF DRIVE-TECH DrivE-Tech is designed to be installed on top of motor fan cover or fixed to a wall with its dedicated kit DrivE-Tech can be placed on top of pump motor with 4 customized clamps supplied with all type of VFD. In this type of installation the DrivE-Tech is cooled by the fan of motor. DrivE-Tech can be fixed to a wall with a customized support supplied as option. The cooling of the VFD is guarantee by an external fan attached to the radiator. WIRING OF DRIVE-TECH 1. Connect the DrivE-Tech to the pump’s motor. 2. Connect the DrivE-Tech to power...

EASY CONFIGURATION SOFTWARE When first powering the DrivE-Tech, an initial configuration is required for the complete setup of the drive. Additional parameters can be configured later by entering three different setting levels: End user level The only level which can be accessed without password. It allows the user to monitor electrical and hydraulic parameters and status of the DrivE-Tech and pump. Installer level In this level , the installer can configure the DrivE-Tech - pump system to the characteristics of the hydraulic system. An entry password is required. Advanced level This level...

ELECTRONIC TAILORED FOR PUMPS Minimum motor frequency This parameter prevents the pump from running lower below a certain speed, avoiding the risk of damaging the thrust bearing in submersible pumps. Minimum motor frequency ramp To prevent motor damage, the motor can accelerate quickly to reach the minimum motor frequency , and then is allowed to follow a lower start-up ramp. Stop function at zero water flow After reaching the minimum frequency at zero flow (Fmin Q=0) DrivE-Tech progressively slows the pump while monitoring the signal from the pressure transducer. If the pressure is close...
