Note: If additional loads are being supplied by the generator, 

the generator manufacture should be contacted for correct 

sizing . When the controller is being supplied power by a 

generator the Powered by Generator option should be set 

to YES in the advanced features menu to minimize possible 

damage to the drive .

Drive Configuration

When sized correctly, the drive controller package systems 

are fully programmed and are ready to go right out of the box 

without need for additional configuration . There are several 

parameters that can be changed:  

Figure 9 Display and Keypad

 Capacitors inside the drive controller 

can still hold a lethal voltage even after power has been 

removed. Allow 10 minutes for dangerous internal voltage 

to discharge before making changes to input power or 

motor connections.

By pressing and holding the EDIT & ENTER buttons down 

together for 5 seconds, you enter into the program menu . 

Using the UP & DOWN buttons, you can scroll through the 

menus and view the current settings . To make a change to 

a parameter press the EDIT button followed by the UP and 

DOWN buttons to set or choose the new value . Once the 

new values is set, press the ENTER button to accept the new 

value or the ESCAPE button to discard the change . Once 

you are done viewing and changing the parameters press 

ESCAPE to return to the home screen .
For further information to change these parameters, please

KEY:

APPLIES ONLY TO TRANSDUCER

APPLIES ONLY TO PRESSURE SWITCH

APPLIES TO EITHER OPTION

(1) Control Choice

Switch or Transducer

At initial power-up, the drive will detect what control devise is 

attached and will automatically set the control choice .  If a switch or 

transducer is not hooked up, the drive will default to Switch as it's 

control choice .

Set Transducer Range 

(Only for Transducer 

Control)

50-300 PSI 

Default 100 PSI

Programs the drive to the range of the pressure transducer that is 

attached . (Drive ships with 100PSI transducer .)

Set Pressure Set Point 

(Only for Transducer 

Control)

15 - (Max Transducer range - 5) 

Default 50

Target system pressure . 

Set Draw Down PSI 

(Only for Transducer 

Control)

2-15 PSI 

Default 5 PSI

Sets the amount that the system pressure has to drop below the set 

point while the drive is in standby before the drive will restart the 

motor .

Access menu options by pressing and holding edit and enter for 3 seconds .
