BPC Series

QUICK START GUIDE

BERKELEY Pump Controller

ABOUT

The BERKELEY Pump Controller (BPC) is pre-jumpered
and programmed with the 

BERKELEY Assistant, provid-

ing ease of setup for constant pressure applications. The
BERKELEY Assistant defaults to pre-defined parameters
as described in this guide, and also prompts the user for
application-specific information.

This guide covers the startup of the

BERKELEY

Assistant for constant pressure applications. For other
programs, refer to the ABB manual provided.

SAFETY

Hazardous voltage. Can shock, burn, or

cause death.

Ground pump before connecting to power

supply. Disconnect power before working on system 
components.

Wire pump motor for correct voltage. See motor
nameplate.

Ground motor to drive before connecting to
power supply.

Meet National Electrical Code, Canadian Electrical
Code, and local codes for all wiring.

INSTALLATION

Connect Transducer

Install the transducer where pressure is to be maintained.
The 

BERKELEY Assistant requires a 4 - 20 ma transduc-

er (Figure 2). The transducer’s power lead should be
attached to terminal 10 or the terminals as shown below
and the 4 - 20 ma output lead should be attached to ter-
minal 5 (Figure 3). The transducer has a brown power
lead and a blue 4 - 20 ma output lead.
(All jumper terminals may need to be loosened to attach
leads above the jumper board).

The jumper board eliminates the need to hand wire termi-
nals 9 to 11, 10 to 19, 11 to 12 and 18 to 21.

Before applying power, make sure the front cover is on
and the control module is in place.

Startup the 

BERKELEY Assistant

Apply power to the unit, and follow 
the steps on Pages 2 and 3 after 
the controller’s screen is lit.
