• • Additional built-in protections include:
    • Underload (Dry-run) with customizable sensitivity and off time
    • Overload / Locked pump
    • Broken pipe detection
    • Output short circuit and open circuit
    • Undervoltage
    • Electrical surge
    • Overheated controller
    • Moisture sensor input
    • Run and fault relays

• Simple Installation, Made Easier Through Connectivity: The easy-to-install platform uses an array of setup, local monitoring, and assisted troubleshooting solutions to help you save time during installation and servicing:
  • LCD display provides immediate feedback and read-outs on pressure and system status
  • No programming is required with easy DIP switches for basic drive configuration
  • Integrated connectivity and compatibility with our FE Connect mobile app for real-time data and monitoring; access to advanced features such as motor frequency range, lead/lag/alternation, broken pipe detection, and fault log retrieval

• Redefined Versatility to Tackle a Wider Range of Applications:
  • Ideal for new construction or retrofitting and optimizing submersible and above-ground systems from 1/2 – 5 hp, with single-phase, two-wire and three-wire, or three-phase
  • Available as a standalone drive or as the popular SubDrive Connect QuickPAK delivering motor, pump, and drive all in one package
  • Built-in lead/lag and alternation capability for duplex systems
  • Comes standard with various input/output (I/O) ports for streamlined compatibility with adjacent systems

• Smaller Footprint, Smarter Use of Space:
  • Compact design, that is ideal for wall-mounting, works with small pressure tanks or existing larger tanks
