Pentair Pentek Solar Drive Hardware
The Pentair Pentek Solar Drive controller consists of several components, as shown in
Figure 5. The unit has three wire glands: two large glands for a motor cable (left) and for
solar PV array (right), and one gland for data cables (middle), a float switch sensor or other
optional sensor. There is direct access to the power and signal terminals on the circuit
board once the enclosure door is removed.
The Pentair Pentek Solar Drive controller should be mounted on a wall or other vertical
surface using the back bracket (see Figure 5 below). On the back side of the unit there
are two set screws used to hang the unit on the back bracket. More detailed mounting
instructions are shown below.
