Transducer

The PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE uses a 4-20mA,
0-100PSI pressure transducer to control motor
speed (max is 300 PSI transducer).

The transducer (see Figure 1) senses pressure in
the pipe and converts it to an electrical signal.
The Drive senses and processes the signal in the
PID (Proportional, Integration, Derivative) control.
When operating in AUTOSTART mode, the Drive
increases and decreases the speed of the pump
motor as needed to maintain constant pressure in
the piping system.

Mounting the Drive

To mount the Drive as shown in Figure 6, follow
this procedure:

1. First, remove the cover by backing out screw
at bottom of front cover.

2. Push on backplate with thumbs while pulling
the cover toward you with index fingers,
creating a gap. See Figures 3 and 4.

Figure 3 - Seperate cover and backplate

Gap

5. Ensure the Drive’s ventilation holes are not
blocked and there is enough space around it
to allow free air flow (minimum 3” clearance
on top, bottom, and sides). See Figure 6. Once
the Drive is mounted, electrical wiring can be
connected.

Figure 6 - Attaching Drive to wall

6. To reattach the Drive cover, hook the top of it
on backplate (be sure to leave a gap). Lower
bottom of cover into place. Push cover evenly
against backplate, eliminating the gap. See
Figure 7.

Figure 4 - Gap between cover and backplate

3. Pull bottom of cover towards you; liftup on
cover and remove. See Figure 5.

Figure 5 - Pull out bottom of cover

4. With the cover removed, permanently mount
the Drive using the top slotted hole, plus
either the three bottom holes (for flat surface
mounting) or the center bottom hole (for
attaching to a post or stud). See Figure 6.

Figure 7 - Reattaching Drive cover

7. Replace screw at bottom of front cover.

9Installation 9

Wiring

To allow for ease of wiring, the enclosure wiring
area is free of electronics other than the terminals.
Conduit holes and knockouts are located so
that the wire can be fed straight through to the
connectors, with minimal bending. The terminals
accept 6-14 AWG wire.

Installations that require larger wire gauge than
6AWG will require an external junction box. Run
6AWG wire from the Drive into the junction box,
then make external connections with wire nuts to
appropriately sized wire.

NOTICE For convenience in wiring, the input and
motor terminals unplug from the box. Pull them
down to remove them for ease of access, as shown
in Figure 9.

Verify that the terminal connectors are completely
seated when you replace them. It is best practice

Figure 8 - Pull input and motor terminals down to

remove, making wiring easier.

to connect all output wires (larger wire gauge) first,
then all input wires.

Pump Connections

If the PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE is used with above
ground motors not rated for Variable Frequency
Drive use, maximize motor life by limiting lead
length to 25 ft. Refer to the pump owner’s manual,
the National Electrical Code, and local codes for
proper wire size.

The output of the Drive is single phase (2-wire or
3-wire) or 3-phase, depending on motor selection
during startup.

The output power terminals (motor wire
connections) are located on the lower right side
of the Drive and are labeled R (Red), Y (Yellow),

andB(Black).SeeTables2through6forsuggested

wiresizes.
Feed the motor cable through the 3/4” conduit hole

on the bottom right side and into the appropriate
terminals. If the wire is large enough to require a
larger conduit hole, remove the 1-1/4” knockout
and use the appropriate conduit connections.
Attach the motor ground wire to the grounding
screw, located to the upper right of the terminal
block. Attach the motor power wires to the
terminals as shown in Figure 9.

Pressure Tank Recommendations

Minimum tank size is two gallons. Use a pre­charged pressure tank with Drive, as shown in
Table6. The tank size must equal at least 20
percent of the pump’s rated flow in gallons per
minute (GPM), but cannot be less than two gallons
capacity. For example, a pump rated at 7GPM
would require a tank of two gallons capacity or
larger. A pump rated at 50 GPM would require a 10
gallon tank or larger. Tanks larger than 10gallons
can be used, but may require adjustment of Wake
Delayparameter.

Transducer Connections

A 0-100 PSI 4-20 mA transducer is provided with
Drive. Install the transducer downstream of tank,
as shown in Figure 1. Install transducer in a tee
in a straight section of pipe with at least 1 foot of
straight pipe on each side of the tee (i.e., all fittings
must be at least 1 foot away from transducer).

Feed transducer cable through the open 1/2”
conduit hole on bottom of the Drive enclosure.

As shown in Figure 5, connect the red wire of the
transducer cable to AI+, connect black wire to AI–,
and connect the green cable shield to the metal
cable shield screw.

To connect the transducer wires:

1. Strip wire ½ inch

2. Push spring terminal up with finger or slotted
screwdriver

3. Insert wires from bottom

4. Release spring terminal

Input Power Connections

The input power terminals are located on the
lower left side and are marked L1 and L2 (see
Figure 9). There is a ground screw for the input
ground wire to the right of the connector (torque
to 10 lbs in). Feed wire through the 3/4” conduit
hole on the bottom left side and into appropriate
terminals. If wire is large enough to require a larger
conduit hole, remove the 1-1/4” knockout and use
appropriate conduitconnections.

To determine the correct wire sizes for installation,
see Tables 2 through 6.

NOTICE The PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE only accepts
230V single phase input power. If incoming power
does not match this, have a qualified electrician
alter supply voltage to 230V/1Ph before connecting
it to the Drive.

60 Hz to 80 Hz Operation

When installing the PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE with
a motor and liquid end of the same HP rating,
operate it at 60 Hz (the default value). The Drive
can be operated at frequencies of up to 80 Hz
when the installation uses a 3-phase motor 2 times
the size of the pump. For example, a 1 HP pump
with a 2 HP 3-phase motor. This combination
will equal the performance of a conventional
2HPpump.

Press Main Menu and
shown in Figure7

follow the keypress sequence

the new Max Frequency selected. The Drive will
now use the new value selected.

NOTICE The Drive will not allow the output amps

7777. It can be changed to any other 1 to 4 digit
number. To reset password to a unique password
for unit, unlock keypad (see below) and follow the
keypress sequence shown in Figure 8 to make the
change.

If installer does not press the password button, then
the keypad will automatically lock 60 minutes after
the Drive is powered up. The time out period is
adjustable (see Table 9).

To unlock keypad press Password, use directional

Pump Out Operation

Press Pump Out. The Drive will start pump in a
constant speed mode (default 45 Hz). The pump
will run until STOP or Auto Start are pushed.
If speed change is necessary, follow keypress
sequence shown in Figure 8 to change parameter
as desired.

17I/O Connections 17

The I/O terminals are located in the center of
the wiring compartment, as shown previously in
Figure9.

The Digital Input connections (I1 and I2) are used to
control the Drive based on the state of an external
device, such as a flow switch, moisture sensor,
alternator, or other device. Programming is needed
to activate any of these functions (see Table 9).

The Output Relay (O1) is used to control an external
device based on two states of Drive; either Running
the pump or Faulted. Programming is needed to
activate any of these functions (see Table 9).

Cable Installation

Three 1/2” conduit knockouts are provided on the
bottom of the Drive enclosure for the I/O wires.

Breakouttheclosest1/2”knockoutandroutethe

wires through. Use a cord grip to prevent the wire
from rubbing and causing a short.

NOTICE Never run low voltage I/O wire through
the same conduit hole as the 230V input wires or
motor wires.

To connect the external wires to the terminals:

1. Strip wire ½ inch

2. Push spring terminal up with finger or slotted
screwdriver

3. Insert wires from bottom

4. Release spring terminal

Additional Information 19

RS-485 Communications

RS-485 is a US-based telecommunications
standard for binary serial communications between
devices. It is the protocol, or set of specifications,
that needs to be followed to allow devices that
implement the standard to speak to each other.
A fully compliant RS-485 port is included in the
PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE system to permit serial
connections among more than two devices on an
RS-485 compliant network. Figure 15 shows two­wire connection to the Drive.
