INTRODUCTION
ICON solar motor powers the new DAB system for the supply of clean water based on the most
widely available renewable energy, the sun.
By means of the electric power supplied by a series of photovoltaic panels and taking advantage
of the combination of a DAB S4 series 4” submersible pump with a built-in inverter type
controller, the system is able to ensure a continuous drawing of water from a suitable source
while the solar irradiation conditions may vary.
The permanent-magnet motor technology assures high eciency of the system that,
consequently, can require a smaller number of photovoltaic panels in order to work.
It is designed for easy use and requires no maintenance. It is the ideal solution for supplying
water in remote areas, where the normal power supply of electricity from the power grid is
inconsistent or completely unavailable.
To extend the exibility of the system, each package is supplied with,
- DAB S4 Multistage 4”Water Pump to suit Head and Flow requirements
- iCON 4”Solar Motor AC/DC 2.2kW
- iSOLAR Controller
- Matched Solar panels (optional)
- Solar Panel mounting system (optional)
- Flow Switch (optional)
The iSOLAR Controller allows for the seamless integration of input signals such as level control,
pressure switch or ow meter.
The controller will manage additional energy inputs such as grid supplied AC power, generator
AC power and activate the starting of the generator when required.

iSOLAR CONTROLLER
Operation and features
The iSOLAR controller is capable of the following functions:
1. Display input power
2. Display of mode of AC
3. Display of mode of DC
4. Display of tank full
5. Display of tank empty
6. AUTO MODE
7. Ability to select the incoming power source. In AC MODE, the incoming power source can
be from Mains power supply or a generator.
8. Ability to select the incoming power source. In DC MODE, the power supply can be from
either Solar Panels or Battery. However, DC will be the favoured power supply.
9. Pump ON
10. Pump OFF
11. Button to switch between AUTO MODE, AC MODE, DC MODE
12. Button to switch between Pump ON, Pump OFF
13. Flow meter restart timer adjustment (10-60 minutes in 10 minute intervals)
14. Generator o delay timer adjustment (10-60 minutes in 10 minute intervals)
The iSOLAR controller is capable of the following features:
• The iSOLAR controller can take signals from two oat switches placed in a tank or similar.
• The high level oat switch signal indicates on SP Monitor that the reservoir/tank is full
and at this point the controller stops the pump. When the water level of the storage tank
drops, the oat drops closed and the pump returns to operation after 10 minutes. Within
10min, the “TANK FULL” signal light remains on and the display starts counting down from
“600” to “0.”The countdown ends and the“TANK FULL” indicator goes o and the pump
system restarts.
• The low level oat switch signal indicates on SP Monitor that the reservoir/tank is empty
and at this point the controller starts the pump. When the water wells or pools without
water, the water under the oat drop and closed, PV monitor “TANK EMPTY” signal
indicator light, direct the pump system immediately shut down. When the water level
rises, the oat rises and falls, and the pump returns to operation after 10 minutes. Within
10 minutes, the “TANK EMPTY”signal light remains on and the display starts counting down
from “600” to“0.”The countdown is over and the“TANK EMPTY” indicator goes o and the pump
system restarts. On power up, if tank is not full, then the iSOLAR controller powers the
pump to ll the tank.
• The iSOLAR controller is suitable for outdoor installation and is weather-proof, however,
its location/positioning against direct sun light should be avoided.
• The iSOLAR motor has dry run protection. If there is insucient water for 10 seconds the motor will stop.
After 30 seconds the motor will run for 10 seconds looking for water, and if unsuccessful will try again in 30
seconds. If still no water the motor will stop and attempt to restart every 30 minutes.
• The iSOLAR motor has“no ow” protection when the optional ow meter is wired to the controller and
there is a ow meter restart timer adjustment (10-60 m in 10m intervals) on the controller.

iSOLAR CONTROLLER INSTALLATION
WARNING
• The power supply from any DC or AC supply can cause serious harm or death from electrocution.
• Apply appropriate safety procedures when working on or with any system component.
• Only suitably qualied personal should be involved in the electrical connection / disconnection
and handling of the equipment. O-grid electrical equipment is subject to applicable state,
national and country electrical standards.
• The iCON Solar Motor contains capacitors that must be allowed to discharge before handling
• Allow a minimum of 1 MINUTE for stored energy to dissipate before handling the motor.
• The Solar panels will create electrical energy when exposed to light. Assume all panel cables are
“live” at all times and handle with appropriate safety equipment and procedures.
Caution
Isolate all electrical sources before commencing any installation, servicing or repair on any
component in the installation.
The iCON Control module is used to switch AC and DC power supplies and can automatically start
a connected generator or switch between DC (Solar) or AC (Generator / Mains) power sources at
ANY time.
Ensure all energy sources and generator starting circuit is properly locked-out before working on the
system.
Electrical Component Selection
When using DC power such as supply from Solar Panels, any switches, contactors, sensors, meters,
recorders used in the electrical connection and monitoring of the installation MUST BE selected
according to the Input power available and rated for DC POWER supply.
Control Panel Mounting
The iCON Control Panel is IP65 Rated however it is recommended that the panel is not mounted in
direct sunlight.
Mounting the controller Facing SOUTH and behind the Solar Panel array is often a good way to
protect the panel.
Consideration should be given to mounting the control panel inside a steel cabinet (not included) to
allow for easy access to isolation switches and termination of supply feeds and input control feeds.
Earthing
As most Solar installations are –o-grid, particular attention must be paid to earthing of the
controller and pump motor. Follow the instructions in the controller manual and legislated electrical
requirements for your area.
Switching between DC and AC supplies
The iSOLAR controller can be manually switched between a DC power supply and AC supply or the
controller will perform the change when in AUTO mode.
During the switch over the controller in the iSOLAR 4”motor runs through an automatic discharge
process to dissipate the electrical charge contained in the capacitors tted to the electrical motor.
This process cannot be sped up.
If the pump is not running when there is a suitable input power supply, rstly check the display panel
to see if the changeover is taking place before further investigation.
The controller is biased to DC supply when in Automatic mode.

Controller Operating Instruction
1. Before operating any components in the system preform a visual inspection of the installation for damage
cause by weather events, stock, pests or human interference. Solar panels should be clean and not in shade.
All wiring terminated, no bare wires exposed.
2. Check pump is completely immersed when in a surface water source.
3. Turn any isolator switches to ON position. Open any valves.
4. Mains AC Supply present (if connected) – Indicated by LED light on controller
5. DC Supply present (Solar / Battery) - Indicated by LED light on controller
6. Generator (if connected) is topped up with fuel, generator starts and runs on demand and is connected to
iSOLAR controller via“GEN Signal” wire.
7. Select MODE the Controller is required to operate in using the TOP BUTTON on the right hand side of the
controller. Each time the button is pushed, the controller cycles through one of the operating modes
indicated by the LED light on the display panel.
i. AUTOMATIC MODE – Controller selects the power source and uses this to run the pump depending on
input signals. Bias is always DC power source. When the system is using AC power, the AC led light pulses in
30 sec intervals ,the system is using DC power, the DC led light pulses in 30 sec intervals.
ii. DC MODE - Controller only uses DC power source and uses this to run the pump depending on input
signals and available power from Solar Panels or Batteries.
iii. AC MODE - Controller only uses AC power source and uses this to run the pump depending on input signals
and available power from grid supply or generator.
a. Note, only one AC power supply can be used, either Grid Supplied AC 240V power or Generator
supplied AC 240V power.
CAUTION – When switching between modes, the motor needs to dissipate the energy stored within the
internal capacitors. This process takes 1 minute. Repeated switching between modes will restart
the dissipation cycle, causing extended delays before the pump will run.
8. Push PUMP ON button on the left hand side of the controller which is the BOTTOM BUTTON. LED light
indicates pump on. Controller will start pump using selected power supply provided,
i. The input energy is sucient to run the motor
ii. Motor has nished power dissipation cycle if required
iii. The input signal devises indicate the unit should run. This would include,
a. WWL – Well water level is“open”indicating sucient water around pump(when tted)
b. TWL – Tank water level indicates tank requires lling (when tted)
c. TWL – Pressure switch indicates system pressure is low (when tted)
d. TWL is bridged meaning pump runs when input energy sucient.
9. To stop pump, push PUMP OFF button on the right hand side of the controller which is the
BOTTOM BUTTON. LED light indicates pump o.
10. When nished with the system, turn any electrical isolating switches and valves to the o position.

SOLAR PANEL INSTALLATION
Power Connection for SOLAR PANELS
WARNING
– The power supply from a DC supply such as Solar Panels can cause SERIOUS HARM or
DEATH from electrocution.
- Apply appropriate safety procedures when working on or with any system component.
-Only suitably qualied personal should be involved in the electrical connection /
disconnection and handling of the equipment.
- O-grid electrical equipment is subject to applicable state, national and country
electrical standards.
-The Solar panels will create electrical energy when exposed to light. Assume all
panel cables are “live” at all times and handle with appropriate safety equipment and
procedures.
-Use only electrical cable and connectors supplied with the Solar Panels. Avoid cutting or
joining cables by ordering correct lengths of cable and connectors at time of purchase.
Follow the instructions provided with the Solar Panels and mounting system to complete the
framing support for the panels.
General Notes:
Mounting Frame must always face NORTH for panels tted in the Southern Hemisphere. The
orientation of the PANEL to the SUN is determined by the LATITUDE co-ordinate for the site
location.
Use a GPS or other mapping app such as“Google Maps”to determine the latitude co-ordinate of
the panel installation site. This becomes the angle the panels are orientated from the horizontal
to face the sun directly.
eg: White International Pty Ltd Oce, 60 Ashford Ave, Milpera NSW
-33.934217 Latitude / 150.98830 Longitude
Panel Orientation: 34 Degrees from horizontal facing NORTH
SOLAR AVAILABILITY
As a general rule-of-thumb panels will receive 3.5hr or more of solar irradiation during winter
months. Actual average sun hours for each geographic region are available from NASA or your
countries weather statistics recorder such as
NIWA in New Zealand https://solarview.niwa.co.nz/
BOM in Australia http://www.bom.gov.au/climate/data-services/solar-information.shtml
Possible pump ow capabilities should be based on minimum WINTER energy availability.
