INTRODUCTION
Basic pump controllers that integrate flow and pressure normally start on pressure or flow and stop when flow stops. More advanced controllers such as our F40 series provide an adjustable run-on that allows time for pressure to rise in the system before the pump is shut down. The F50 advanced pump controller takes pump control to the next level. In addition to the usual start on pressure stop on flow system used in most pump controllers, it adds the ability to set an upper pressure limit on the system. This feature means the system pressure can’t exceed safe pressure limits. It means that low class pipe can be used in a fully automatic pump system without any risk of bursting the pipework.
Unlike a basic pressure switch operated system that also sets an upper pressure limit, the F50 learns from its environment and remembers what the upper pressure limit is. In normal operation the F50 lets the pump start and stop instantly on flow. If the system pressure creeps up and eventually reaches the cutout pressure, the F50 automatically reverts to pressure start mode and will not allow the pump to start regardless of flow demand until the pressure has fallen to the startup pressure. This system gives the user the best features of an F40 pump controller with the added advantage of an adjustable high-pressure limit on the system.
