Pilot

Product catalog summary

Overview: The document describes the PILOT, an electronic device designed for the protection and control of single-phase and three-phase motors, specifically pumps. It highlights the device's features, technical specifications, and the optional AVIATOR accessory for enhanced motor starting capabilities.

Key Features:

The PILOT device includes a backlit LCD that displays running current and stops the pump if user-set maximum values are exceeded.
It provides protection against surges, phase loss, excessive starts, and dry running by monitoring the power factor and stopping the pump if thresholds are not met.
The device can automatically attempt to restart the pump up to five times after an alarm condition, with user-set intervals.
It stores pump start counts, total running hours, and alarm history for maintenance purposes.
The PILOT is constructed from aluminum, offering durability and cooling efficiency, and is rated IP55 for installation in humid and dusty environments.

Technical Specifications:

Voltage options range from 115V to 460V, with varying maximum current capacities.
Rated frequency is 50-60 Hz, with a maximum working temperature of 40°C and a maximum altitude of 2000 meters at nominal current.
Includes configurable digital inputs for motor run/stop and settable alarm signal outputs.

AVIATOR Accessory:

The AVIATOR board enhances starting torque for single-phase motors, addressing issues with high voltage drops.
It connects a starting capacitor in parallel with the running capacitor during startup, disconnecting it once the motor is running.
The system is adaptable to various motor types and manufacturers by selecting the appropriate starting capacitor value.

Conclusion: The PILOT, along with the optional AVIATOR accessory, provides a comprehensive solution for pump protection and motor control, ensuring efficient and reliable operation across different environments and motor types.

■ Surges, phase loss, excessive number of starts The backlit LCD displays the running current, and PILOT stops the pump if the maximum value set by the user is exceeded. The maximum number of pump starts is also user selectable, and PILOT will stop the pump’s operation if this value is exceeded. ■ Dry running PILOT provides a display of the power factor value (P.F. or coso) and allows the user to set a minimum threshold value for normal operation. PILOT will stop the pump below this value to protect against dry running. PILOT will make up to 5 automatic restart attempts following an alarm condition,...

Single-phase motors may have difficulty starting, especially when there is a high voltage drop. AVIATOR electronic board increases the starting torque of the motor in a simple and economical way to ensure the starting of the motor in any situation. AVIATOR, available as an accessory for the PILOT 118, is equipped with specific contacts allowing it to be fitted directly onto the power board of the PILOT 118. The starting capacitor provided by the AVIATOR board is connected in parallel to the running capacitor, but only in the starting phase. When the motor is running the AVIATOR will disconnect...
