NASTEC PILOT PUMP CONTROL AND PROTECTION

The Nastec Pilot controls single phase and three phase pump motors, providing protection against dry running, overcurrent and excessive starts

OVERVIEW
The Nastec Pilot is a high quality pump control box that provides protection against dry running and an excessive number of starts, suitable as a replacement for existing pump control boxes, the Pilot is ideally suited for use with well and borehole pumps.

FEATURES AND BENIFITS
PILOT is an electronic device for the control of single phase and three phase motors (pumps)
Provides protection against overcurrent, phase loss, excessive number of starts
Protects against dry running
Up to 5 automatic restart attempts following an alarm condition
Memorises the number of pump starts and total running hours

CONSTRUCTION
Body is constructed entirely of aluminium, making PILOT extremely solid and easily cooled
Max. environment temperature: 40°C (104 °F)
Max. altitude: 2000 m
IP Protection: IP55 (NEMA 4) for installation in humid/dusty environments

APPLICATIONS
- The Nastec Pilot is an electronic device for the control of single phase and three phase pump motors which provides protection against dry running, overcurrent, phase loss and an excessive number of starts.
- The Nastec replaces the existing pump control box and can be wired to a pressure switch or float switch.
- The backlit LCD displays the running current and the Nastec Pilot stops the pump if the maximum value set by the user is exceeded.
- The maximum number of pump starts is also user selectable and the Pilot will stop the pump operation if this value is exceeded.
- The Pilot provides a display of the power factor value (P.F. or cosø) and allows the user to set a minimum threshold value for normal operation. The Nastec Pilot will stop the pump below this value to protect against dry running.
- The Pilot will make up to 5 automatic restart attempts following an alarm condition at time intervals set by the user.
- The number of pump starts and total running hours is stored in the unit’s memory, the alarm history is also stored to assist with servicing.
- The body is constructed entirely of aluminium, making the Nastec Pilot extremely solid and easily cooled. The IP55 protection makes installation possible in humid and dusty environments.
