• Quick Start Guide
• Owner’s Manual
The PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE is specifically designed to
operate 4” submersible pumps and 3-phase above
ground pumps in water well and residential booster
applications. Each drive is rated for maximum output
amp rating. Any use of the drive outside of its intended
use and design parameters will void the warranty. If the
PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE is used with above ground
motors not rated for VFD use, limit lead length to 25 ft.
for maximum motor life. Refer to the pump owner’s
manual and the National Electrical Code for proper
wire size.
Transducer
The drive uses a 4-20mA, 0-100PSI pressure transducer to
control the speed of the motor.
The transducer senses pressure in the pipe and converts it
to an electrical signal which it sends to the drive. The drive
processes the signal in the PID (Proportional, Integration,
Derivative) control. When operating in PID mode the drive
increases and decreases the speed of the pump motor as
needed to maintain constant pressure in the system.
Fan
The PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE has a thermostatically controlled internal fan. The fan may not operate under normal
operating conditions. It will automatically start when necessary to cool the drive.
Keypad
The Keypad programs the drive, monitors the status of the
pump, and views faults if they occur. Each button has a
unique function (see Page 5). The LCD display shows a
text display of the status of the drive’s operation. Other
LEDs light up to indicate when certain buttons are pressed
or certain events occur.

INSTALLATION
Mounting (See Figure 3)
Mount the drive in an easily accessible area with temperature maintained between –4°F and 104°F (–20°C to 40°C).
NEMA 1 enclosures must be mounted indoors; NEMA 3R
enclosures may be mounted outdoors with the same ambient temperature limits.
To mount the drive, mark the location of the top keyhole
on the wall or stud. Drive a screw into the structure and
hang the drive on it. Back out the screw on the bottom of
the front cover and lift the cover off. Mark the locations of
the bottom two mounting holes. Mount the drive with
screws in all three holes.
Be sure that the ventilation holes are not blocked and that
there is enough space around the drive to allow free air
flow (minimum 3” clearance, top, bottom, and sides).
Once the drive is mounted, you are ready to connect
the wires.

Wiring
To allow for ease of wiring, the 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.
NOTE: For convenience in wiring, the input and motor terminals unplug from the box. Pull them down to remove
them for ease of access. See Figure 4.
BE SURE that when you replace them, they are completely
pushed in and seated.
Note: The best practice is to connect all output wires first
and all input wires last.
Output Connections (See Figure 5, Page 7):
See Tables 5 and 6, Page 15, for correct wires sizes, VFD
to motor.
If the PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE is used with above ground
motors not rated for VFD use, limit lead length to 25 ft. for
maximum motor life. Refer to the pump owner’s manual
and the National Electrical Code for proper wire size.
The output of PID-1 Series drives is 230V three phase
power.
The output of PID-6 Series drives is 230V single phase
power.
NOTE: PID-1 series drives will not operate single phase
motors. PID-6 series drives will not operate three phase
motors.
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). 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 lug, located to the
upper right of the terminal block. Attach the motor power
wires to the terminals as shown in Figure 5, Page 7.

Pressure Tank Recommendations:
Minimum tank size is 2 gallons. Use a pre-charged pressure tank with the Drive. The tank size must equal at least
20% of the pump’s rated flow in gallons per minute
(GPM), but cannot be less than 2 gallons capacity. For
example, a pump rated at 7 GPM would require a tank of
2 gallons capacity or larger. A pump rated at 50 GPM
would require a 10 gallon tank or larger. A larger tank may
increase cycling of the pump.
Table 3: Control Pressure Set Point and
Tank Pre-Charge Pressure Values (PSI)
NOTE: Set the pressure tank’s pre-charge to 70% of the
system operating pressure. When using an external set
point as well as an internal set point, pre-charge the tank
to 70% of the lower set point of the two. Some applications may require a different percentage when figuring the
set point.
Transducer Connections (See Figure 5):
Use the transducer provided with the drive. Install the
transducer downstream of the tank. Install the transducer in
a tee in a straight section of pipe with at least 1 foot of
straight pipe on each side of the tee (that is, all fittings
must be at least one foot away from the transducer).
Feed the transducer cable through the open 1/2” conduit
hole on the bottom of the drive enclosure.
The transducer terminals, marked AI+ and AI-, are located
to the left of the output terminals. Connect the red wire of
the transducer cable to AI+, connect the black wire to AI–,
and connect the cable shield to the metal lug to the right.
NOTE: Do not use the clear wire on the transducer cable
for any connections; tape the end and tie it back to the
cable with electrical tape so that it does not touch any
other components or connections.
Note: To connect the wires;
1. If the wire ends are not pre-stripped, strip them back
about 1/2”.
2. Push the spring terminals up (back).
3. Insert the wires.
4. Release the spring terminals.

Input Connections (See Figure 5):
The input power terminals are located on the lower left
side and marked L1 and L2 (see Figure 5); there is a
ground lug for the input ground wire to the left of the connector. Feed the wire through the 3/4” conduit hole on the
bottom left 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.
To determine the correct wire sizes for your installation,
see Table 2, Page 6.
NOTE: The drive only accepts 230V single phase input
power. If your incoming power does not match this, have a
competent electrician alter it to 230V/1Ph before connecting the drive.
Lightning/Surge Protection
Lightning arrestors or other surge suppressing devices can
be used with this product. MOV (Metal Oxide Varistor),
SOV (Silicon Oxide Varistor), or a flashover type can be
used when wired between the drive and the circuit breaker.
If a lightning arrestor is to be used between the drive and
the motor, a flashover type arrestor is recommended.
INITIAL STARTUP
PROGRAMMING
PROCEDURE
Be Sure that the cover is installed before operating the drive.
Most installations will only require the initial startup settings. However, the installer may need to set additional
parameters occasionally. See “Advanced Programming”,
Page 9, for information about accessing all parameters,
explanations of their functions, and procedures for changing parameter values, if necessary.
1. Program the Drive: Apply power to the PENTEK
INTELLIDRIVE. “Setup Guide” will appear.

Connections / Operation 8
Service Factor Amps (See Table 4)
To get the best performance out of your pump, be
sure you enter the correct Service Factor Amps
(SF Amps) in the PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE.
• Entering SF Amps
higher
than the motor rating
lets the drive supply more amps to the motor than
the motor is designed for and may allow the motor
to overheat;
• Entering SF Amps
lower
than the motor rating limits the output amps to less than the motor is
designed for and will reduce the performance of
the pump.
• For any 1-Phase 3-Wire motor, the correct Service
Factor Amp rating for the PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE
is Cap Start/Cap Run amps. This may not match
the motor nameplate, which (for a 3-Wire, Single
Phase motor) will generally be Cap Start/
Induction Run Amps.
• For any 3-Phase or 2-Wire 1 Phase motor, use
the motor nameplate Service Factor Amp rating.
NOTE: PENTEK submersible motors may differ from
motors of the same horsepower from other manufacturers. For 3-Wire, 1-Phase motors from all other
submersible motor manufacturers, enter the
motor manufacturer’s CS/CR service factor amps
for your motor. For 3-Phase or 2-Wire 1-Phase
motors, use the motor nameplate amps.

3. Pump out the well (if necessary):
Direct the pump’s discharge to an appropriate location not connected to the system and press Pump
Out. The pump will run at 45 Hz.
Adjust frequency as appropriate:
A. Press ENTER
B. Change frequency value
NOTE: Above ground pumps should run at 60 Hz
for this step (until pump is primed). Then adjust
frequency as appropriate.
C. Press ENTER again.
Run the drive in this mode until the well discharge
runs clear, then press the ‘Stop’ button to stop the
drive.
Hazardous pressure. In Pumpout
mode, the pump runs at a constant speed, which can
cause very high pressure if flow is restricted.
4. Check List:
Make sure that the system has a properly sized relief
valve and pressure tank.
Make sure that the pressure tank’s precharge is
correct. See Table 3, Page 7.
Make sure that the pump discharge is connected to
the system.
5. System Start:
Open valves at the ends of lines so that air will
escape during pressurization.
Press Auto Start; close valves at the ends of lines after
all air has escaped.
The system goes into Constant Pressure Operation as
soon as the transducer registers 10 PSI. If system pressure does not reach 10 PSI within 3 minutes, the drive
will stop. Press AutoStart again to restart line fill. If a
longer priming or line fill time is required, adjust the
‘fill time’ parameter in the ‘dry run’ menu (Page 11).
60 to 80 Hz Operation (See 2, above):
When installing the PID-1 Series 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
large motor with a small 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.).
Go to Main Menu as described in No. 2 (above). Be sure
to press Enter to save the new Max Frequency selected.
The drive will now use the new value selected.
NOTE: The drive will not allow the output amps to go
above the Service Factor Amps selected on the keypad.
Because of this, some 80 Hz operations may be limited by a
“TPM: Service Amps” warning. This protects the motor and
may be a common occurance.

BEFORE YOU START. Also, note that the last item on
the main menu resets ALL parameters to the default
values.
Sleep (6 parameters plus Reset):
Boost Differential:
Raises the system pressure
slightly before going into sleep mode. Units are in
PSI. The default boost value is 3 PSI. (i.e., with
Boost Differential set to 3 PSI and Pressure Setpoint
set to 60 PSI, the system pressure will rise to 63 PSI
before the drive goes to sleep). Maximum is 10 PSI,
minimum is 3 PSI.
Boost Delay:
The length of time (in seconds) that
the drive monitors the system before boosting the
pressure. Default is 60 seconds, maximum is 300
seconds, minimum is 30 seconds.
Wakeup Differential:
The total pressure drop from
the setpoint that the drive must see to come out of
Sleep mode. The default setting is 5 PSI. (i.e., with
the Wakeup Differential set to 5 PSI, the drive will
wake up when the pressure in the system has
dropped 5 PSI below the system Pressure Setpoint.)
Maximum is 15 PSI, minimum is 5 PSI.
Wake Delay:
The time it takes to ramp down to the
Wake Up pressure. Default is 15 seconds, maximum is 120 seconds, minimum is 3 seconds.
Sleep 2 PSI:
A setting to prevent Over-Pressure. If
the system pressure rises enough that the drive
reaches the Sleep 2 PSI setpoint, the drive will go
to sleep for one minute. Default pressure is 80 PSI,
maximum is ‘Max Sensor’ value minus 3 PSI, minimum is 15 PSI.
• NOTE: If the Internal or External Setpoint is set to
a value that is near, at, or above the Sleep 2 PSI
setpoint, you may experience nuisance tripping.
In this case, raise the Sleep 2 PSI setpoint until
the nuisance tripping stops.
Boost Trigger:
Sets the frequency range that defines
system stability. When the frequency stabilizes
within this range, the drive starts the boost process.
Increasing this value allows the drive to sleep
under less stable conditions. The default is 3 Hz.
The range is 3 to 30 Hz.
Reset to defaults:
Default value is NO. Change to
YES to reset all Sleep parameters to their default
values.
Password (2 parameters):
Password Timeout:
Sets the time (in minutes) that
the drive takes to lock out the password-protected
(blue) buttons on the keypad. The range is 1 – 360
minutes; the default is 60 minutes. When drive programming is complete, a timer starts. Once it
reaches the time set in this parameter the buttons
automatically lockout.
Password:
The Password locks or unlocks the blue
buttons on the keypad. The password is a number
(default is 7777) and can be changed to any 1- to
4-digit number.
Setpoints (2 Parameters):
Internal Setpoint:
The main pressure setting used
by the drive. The default value is 60 PSI. Maximum
is the ‘Max Sensor’ value minus 3 PSI, minimum is
15 PSI.
External Setpoint:
The Drive’s pressure reference
when the External Input is set to External Setpoint
and the proper drive is connected to it (see I/O
section, Pages 11 and 12). Default is 40 PSI,
Maximum is ‘Max Sensor’ minus 3 PSI, minimum
is 15 PSI.
2) MOTOR (4 parameters plus Reset):
Service Factor Amps:
The service factor amps of
the motor. This value is entered during the setup
process and can be changed if necessary. For your
PENTEK motor, use the value listed in Table 4,
Page 8. This value may differ slightly from the
motor’s nameplate amps. For other manufacturer’s
3-wire, 1-Phase motors, use the Cap Start/Cap Run
values supplied by the motor manufacturer. For
3-Phase motors and 2-Wire 1-Phase submersible
motors, use motor manufacturer’s service factor
amps or nameplate amps.
Connection Type (1 Phase Only):
Select connection
type which matches the motor used. Default is
3-Wire.
Min Frequency:
The minimum frequency that the
drive will send to the motor (this translates to the slowest speed at which the motor will run). The default is
30 Hz. If necessary this value can be increased, but
cannot exceed the Max Frequency value.
Operation / Programming 10
Advanced Programming 11
Max Frequency:
This is the maximum frequency
the drive will send to the motor (this translates to
the highest speed at which the motor will run).
The default is 60 Hz. If necessary the value can be
raised up to 80 Hz. for 3-phase (PID-1) units programmed for submersible operation.
Reset to defaults:
Default value is NO. Change to
YES to reset all Motor parameters to their default
values.
3) SENSOR (2 parameters plus Reset):
Min Pressure (PSI):
The minimum pressure of the
transducer (0 PSI). The default is 0 PSI. Do not
change this value unless you are using a transducer
other than the one shipped with the drive, and the
transducer being used requires a different minimum
setting.
Max Pressure (PSI):
The maximum pressure of the
transducer (300 PSI). The default is 100 PSI. Do not
change this value unless you are using a transducer
other than the one shipped with the drive, and the
transducer being used requires a different maximum setting.
Reset to defaults:
Default value is NO. Change to
YES to reset all Sensor parameters to their default
values.
4) PIPE BREAK (2 parameters):
Pipe Break Detection:
Detects a possible leak in
the system. The Default value is ENABLED. Change
to DISABLE to disable Pipe Break Detection.
Number of days with no sleep:
The maximum
number of days that the drive will operate without
going to sleep. If the maximum is exceeded, the
drive stops the pump with a Pipe Break Fault.
Default is one day. Range is 1–24 days.
5) DRY RUN (5 parameters):
Auto Reset Delay:
The delay (in minutes) that the
drive will wait before attempting to restart after a
Dry Run Fault. Default is 10 minutes. Range is
3–60 minutes.
Number of Resets:
The number of times that the
drive will attempt to restart after a Dry Run Fault.
Default is 3. Range is 0–5.
Detection Time:
The amount of time the drive will
operate at less than 10 PSI. Default is 15 seconds.
Range is 5 to 600 seconds. For self primers,
increase value in the event of nuisance dry run
faults.
Fill Time:
The amount of time the drive will operate
in line fill mode. For self primers, increase value to
allow for priming. Default is 60 seconds. Range is
15 to 600 seconds.
Reset Window (Read Only):
The time window
allowed for resets after a Dry Run Fault. This is calculated based on the values in the two parameters
above (Auto Reset Relay and Number of Resets).
6) I/O (Two Submenus):
External Input (4 parameters – see Figures 6 through 9,
Page 12).
NOTE: An external device must be connected before
changing these parameters:
Unused:
The default.
Setpoint:
Used with devices like automatic sprinkler systems that start and stop on a timeclock.
When the timeclock starts the system, SETPOINT
tells the drive to operate at the External Setpoint
pressure (under the Settings menu) until the external device switches off.
External Fault:
Stops the pump and indicates
EXTERNAL FAULT. Used to alert the user to problems with external devices.
Run Enable:
Used with external switches (for
example, float switches) connected to I1 to allow
the drive to operate when the external switch is
ON, and stops the drive when the external switch
is OFF.
Relay Output (3 Settings—See Figures 6 through 9,
page 12):
Unused:
Selected when nothing is connected to
the O1 terminals.
Running:
Can turn an external device on or off
when the drive is running the pump.
Fault:
Can turn an external device (such as an
alarm or autodialer) on or off if the drive has a
fault.
Reset to Factory defaults:
Change NO to YES to reset all the parameters in the VFD
(including all sub-menus) to the factory-set default values.
NOTE: This will display the startup menu. You must re-enter
the information required for startup (see “Initial Startup
Programming Procedure”, Page 8).
The I/O terminals are located in the center of the wiring
compartment, to the left of the transducer terminals. The
Relay Output terminal is marked O1. The Relay Output
terminal powers an external device (warning light, etc.).
The External Input terminal is marked I1. The External
Input terminal allows the Drive’s operation to be coordinated with or limited by an external device (float switch,
etc.). Each can be programmed for use with certain external devices; see “6) I/O (Two Submenus),” Page 11, the
Parameters section (Page 9) for further information.
Two 1/2” conduit knockouts are provided on the bottom of
the drive enclosure for the I/O wires.
