The features of the Pentair Pentek Solar Drive controller are shown in Figure 6. The unit has five
wire glands: two solar PV inputs, one motor output, and two glands for the external sensors.
Further details about wiring the unit are provided on page 10.
Three LEDs are used to indicate the Pentair Pentek Solar Drive controller’s operation (more
details provided on page 15). On the bottom left, just next to the external sensors glands, there is
a motor ON/OFF switch that controls the Pentair Pentek Solar Drive’s operation of the motor.
Once the door of the enclosure is removed, there is access to the input terminal blocks
(DIN rail mounts). Below the DIN rail is a grounding block for connecting the equipment ground.
The installer should only use the DIN rail terminals for connecting all external wires to the
Pentair Pentek Solar Drive unit.
