Description 5
Transducer
The PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE uses a 4-20mA, 0-668
kPa pressure transducer to control motor speed
(max is 2068 kPa 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.
Keypad
The keypad programs the Drive, monitors the
status of the pump, and displays faults if they
occur. Each button has a unique function, as
described in Figure 2. 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.
Fan
The Drive uses a thermostatically controlled
internal fan which operates automatically when
necessary to cool the Drive components.

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 1.5mm²-16mm² wire.
For wire sizing refer to table 3, page 6.
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 8.
Verify that the terminal connectors are completely
seated when you replace them. It is best practice
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 8.0m.
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 3.
Feed the motor cable through the 20mm 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
3.2cm 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.
NOTICE Drive does not sense motor temperature
and will not protect motor from over heating.

Pressure Tank Recommendations
Minimum tank size is 8 litres. Use a pre-charged
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 litres per minute (LPM), but
cannot be less than 8 litre capacity. For example,
a pump rated at 30LPM would require a tank of
8 litres capacity or larger. A pump rated at 200
LPM would require a 40 litre tank or larger. Tanks
larger than 40 litre can be used, but may require
adjustment of

NOTICE Set pressure tank’s pre-charge to 70
percent of the system operating pressure. When
using an external set point as well as an internal
set point, pre-charge tank to 70 percent of the
lower setpoint of the two. Some applications may
require a different percentage when determining
the setpoint.
Transducer Connections
A 0-668 kPa 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
30cm of straight pipe on each side of the tee
(i.e., all fittings must be at least 30cm away from
transducer).
Feed transducer cable through the open 13mm
conduit hole on bottom of the Drive enclosure.
As shown in Figure 9, 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 13mm
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 1.5 Nm). Feed wire through the 20mm conduit
hole on the bottom left side and into appropriate
terminals. If wire is large enough to require a
larger conduit hole, remove the 3.2cm knockout
and use appropriate conduitconnections.
To determine the correct wire sizes for
installation, see Table 3.
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.

Initial Startup 10
Initial Startup and
Programming Procedures
Ensure that the cover is installed before operating
the
PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE.
Most installations will only require the initial
startup settings. However, the installer may need
to set additional parameters. Information about
accessing all parameters, explanations of their
functions, and procedures for changing parameter
values, will be found later in this section.
1. Program the Drive: Apply power to the
PENTEK INTELLIDRIVE.
Setup Guide
will appear
in the display. Follow keypress sequence shown
in Figure 10.
NOTICE If
Setup Guide
does not appear, refer to
Drive Reset Procedure,
Figure 20.
Service Factor Amps
To maximize pump performance, be sure to
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 (see Table 8).
• 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 Drive is Cap
Start/Cap Run amps (see Table 8). This may
not match the motor nameplate, which (for a
Single Phase, 3-Wire motor) will generally be
Cap Start/ Induction Run Amps.
• For any 3-Phase, 220V or 1 Phase, 2-Wire
motor, use the motor nameplate Service
Factor Amprating.
NOTICE
PENTEK®
submersible motors may
differ from motors of the same horsepower
from other manufacturers. For 1-Phase,
3-Wire motors from all other submersible
motor manufacturers, enter the motor
manufacturer’s CS/CR service factor amps
for your motor. For 3-Phase, 220V or 2-Wire
1-Phase motors, use the motor nameplate amp
value. Also see
Retro Fit Applications.
