1. Introduction
Thank you for choosing a Bianco nXt-DPC (Dual Pump Control and protection module.
The Bia nXt-DPC is a module intended to control and protect dual three phase pumps. The
user can select a control logic sequence to match their application and enjoy the benefits of
superior control and protection for the pumps.
There are 3 primary control logic modes:
•‘Drainage’ where control is concentrated at the source
•‘Boosting’ which references pressure switching on the delivery side for control
•‘Transfer’ which is a mix of source and destination control
nXt-DPC has 2 x passive dry contacts and is equipped with a RS485 modbus interface to
connect to a BMS
The LCD screen displays the pump running state and provides the user a wealth of useful
information.
The controller is easy to set up with an initial push button calibration and individual
parameters can be fine-tuned.
A nXt-DPC controller is particularly useful where there is the need to control and protect
pump installations managing the automatic operation through a variety of switching
methods without the need to create a bespoke control solution.
2. Warnings and Cautions
Read the manual carefully before starting
Prior to starting installation or maintenance the controller must be
disconnected from the power supply.
Any changes or modification to the wiring must be carried out by
competent, skilled and suitably qualified personnel only.
A qualified electrician should correctly size and install circuit breakers
to protect the power supply. The fitment of additional surge protection
is recommended as good practice.
Never open the cover while controller is connected to electrical supply.
Disconnect and allow the internal electronics to discharge before
opening the cover
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children)
with reduced physical, sensory or mental capabilities, or lack of
experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or
instruction concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for
their safety. Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not
play with the appliance.
Ensure the controller is a suitable size for the pump motor (see
Section 6, Page 7: Technical Data). Size according to full load
current amperage.

5. Modes of Operation
On the main PCB there is a 4 position ‘Dip Switch’
To alter the control logic to suit an application, the
installer must select the appropriate switch position.
After selecting the desired switch position, cycle the
controller power to apply the setting.
Binary
Switch position
Control logic - Applications
000
‘Drainage’ Mode where the control inputs (generally level
floats or probes) are located at the source. (default)
010
‘Drainage’ Mode where the level control input is managed by
a flexible float on the pump. No bridge – terminals #5 and #7
111
‘Pressure Boosting’ Mode. Main control via (N/C) pressure
switch. Supports run / no run level protection at the source
via floats or probes.
101
‘Transfer’ Mode. Main control via control inputs (floats or
probes) at destination or by a pressure switch on the delivery
line. Supports run / no run level protection at the source.
0*
OTA/OTB terminal enabled (default)
1*
Enables the connection of a PT00 temperature sensor (i.e.
pump over-temp sensor) A separate PT100 temperature
sensor expansion module is required
011*
‘Drainage’ Mode with overflow alarm through a 4-20mA level
transmitter.
001*
‘Pressure Boosting’ Mode controlled via a 4-20mA pressure
transmitter. Supports run / no run level protection at the
source via floats or probes.
100*
‘Transfer Mode’ with 4-20mA level transmitter at the
destination. Supports run / no run level protection at the
sources via floats or probes.
When first powered on the nXt-DPC will display the
current dipswitch operating mode (binary code), the
hardware and the software version.

7. Display con’t
The nXt-DPC controller operates according to the pre-programmed logic for each ‘mode’.
Changing the Dip Switches inside the controller then cycling the power will activate the
selected logic mode.
Examples of common applications are detailed later in this manual but with an
understanding of how the controller responds to various inputs in each of the modes the
controller can be used for application other than what is suggested.
The appearance of the front display changes according to each mode and provides a visual
indication to the state of the input signals.

Avoid installing the nXt-DPC where it could experience the following conditions:
i. Where there is significant vibration and/or mechanical shock.
ii. Where it could be exposed to corrosive liquids or gasses, or to flammable
materials, solvents etc.
iii. Extreme heat and cold. Operating range -25oC - 55oC.
iv. Protect the controller from rain, moisture, humidity or dust

8. Electrical Connections
Always use an electrical outlet that is protected by Residual Current Device (RCD)
Safety Switch with a trip current of 30mA or less. A Safety switch is required by
Australian/New Zealand Standard AU/NZS 60335.1-2011.
All high voltage wiring must be connected by a suitably qualified technician.
Output Terminals
The nXt DPC has two ‘Dry Contact’ terminals.
D1, D2 activate in the event of a critical fault
D3, D4 activate briefly whenever the controller is changed between its
Automatic and Manual state (which requires physical intervention)
It is the responsibility of the installing electrical technician to ensure that the
cable cross section (mm2) meets the requirements of AS/NZS 3008; taking
into consideration the cable type, the cable length, the current draw and
other relevant factors.
If in doubt online resources exist i.e. Cable Size Calculator AS/NZS 3008 or seek advice
from an electrical engineer or other suitably qualified person(s)
