INTRODUCTION 

The ZENER ECODRIVE 8000 is a variable speed drive and  as 
applied to solar power systems is an ‘off the grid’ system that 
is also able to import power from the grid. It is designed for 
the sole purpose to operate  a standard 3  phase induction 
motor. 

The ECODRIVE is  designed to allow the connection of  an 
Auxiliary  AC Power supply in the absence of sufficient 
sunlight. This could be from the GRID or a generator. 

The ECODRIVE provides Maximum Power Point Tracking (MPPT), a control algorithm that achieves the maximum power from 
the PV array under all conditions. The ECODRIVE also includes Zener’s  sophisticated motor control algorithm designed to 
achieve maximum energy efficiency. The ECODRIVE is versatile, offering enormous flexibility for system integrators or OEMs 
with its internal logic functions, programmable I/O and ability to communicate with other equipment. 

Although the ECODRIVE is an ideal pumping solution it can be used on other applications or load types that operate a 3 phase 
motor.

Easily customised systems 

 

 

 

Applications & Application Menus: 

There are many modes of operation that can be customised depending on your individual requirements. To simplify installation 

& setup, Zener has selected 2 common modes of operation in which an ‘Application Menu’ has been developed for each. These 

are further detailed within this manual. 
 

Application menu Choices are:  

 

1.

 

Tank Fill Operation 

‘Tank Solar’ for operation on solar only to fill a tank using a float switch to  

 

control the pump. 

‘Tank Solar AC’ for operation on solar to fill a tank using a float switch to control  

the pump. An auxiliary supply is used to operate the pump when insufficient 

solar energy. 

 

 

2.

 

Pressure Control Operation 

‘Pressure Solar’ for operation on solar only to control a pump to deliver  

 

constant pressure. 

‘Pressure Solar AC’ for operation on solar only to control a pump to deliver  

 

constant pressure. An auxiliary supply is used to operate the pump when

 

insufficient solar energy. 

The Application Menu aims  to simplify the setup  &  programming process by providing a customised menu with only the 

parameters required. Other parameters are assessable in other menus. Please contact Zener for assistance with other types of 

applications and/or the development of a customised Application menu or refer to the ZENER 8000 manual.
