OPERATION
SPEEDMATIC is a compact automatic control device ( see fig.2) designed for the single and three-phase pump´s automation,
with an electronic system managed by a software responding to the rigorous requirements of efficiency and safety of the
most important builders of pumps. It includes a frequency inverter that regulates the speed of the pump in order to keep
constant the pressure independently of the flow given.
The system incorporates a LCD screen where the parameters configuration is very easy and intuitive. Once the configuration
parameters are introduced, the SPEEDMATIC manages the start-up of the pump and the frequency inverter. It assures a
constant pressure and an important costs reduction because at any time the control will feed the system with the right and
necessary output, obtaining a maximum energetic efficiency. In order to establish the ideal pressure in the installation is
suitable to consider following criteria:
Hm:
Max. water column height in m. It depends on the number of floors and it corresponds to the height from the pump to the last
floor. Every 10 m of height corresponds approximately to 1 bar (0.98) bar.
Pw:
Available minimum pressure in last floor (usually 1.5 bar).
Pc:
Pressure drop. It can be considered with a simplified criteria as 0.033 bar/m.
Prmin: Minimum resultant pressure. It is the sum of the previous pressures and it will be the operating pressure of the pump.
Example for a 5 floors building (15 m) with pump placed at level 0:
Hm =15 m
1.5 bar Pw = 1,5 bar

MASTER AND SLAVE OPERATION
The group MASTER-SLAVE is constituted by a device configured as SPEEDMATIC MASTER - responsible of the group´s control
- and a SPEEDMATIC configured as SLAVE controlled by the master device.
Due to the alternating sequence of operation, the SPEEDMATIC configured as MASTER began the first cycle as MAIN device -
its pump is the first to start - but in the next cycle it becomes SECONDARY - its pump is the second to start - and so on.
Therefore, the fact that a device is configured as MASTER involves control of the group but this fact does not avoid its work
alternately as SECONDARY device.
CLASSIFICATION AND TYPE
According to IEC 60730-1 and EN 60730-1 this unit is a control electronic device for pressure systems of independent
assembly, action type 1Y (transistor output). Operating value: flow 2.5 l/min. Degree of contamination 2 (clean environment).
Impulse rating voltage: cat II / 2500V. Applied temperature for the ball pressure test: enclosure (75ºC) and PCB (125ºC).
According to EN 61800-3 the unit is class C2 - class C1 under request with integrated back filter.
MAIN CHARACTERISTICS
DN inlet and outlet ports G1 1/4 " male ISO 228.
Frequency inverter for the pump control.
Control and safety system against over-intensities.
Control and safety system against dry operation.
ART function (Automatic Reset Test). If the device has been stopped due to the action of the safety system against
over-intensities, the ART tries to connect the pump, with a programmed periodicity because the water supply could
have been restored
Automatic restore system after an interruption of power supply. System is activated in AUTOMATIC mode keeping the
configurationparameters (see "CONFIGURATION" chapter).
Inside pressure transducer.
Control panel (Fig.1):
LCD screen, for alarm menu with permanent pressure indication.
START/STOP push-button to act by hand each one of the pumps
ENTER pushbutton to save data in memory.
ON/OFF pushbutton to change rom AUTOMATIC to MANUAL mode or vice versa.
MENU push-button
Keyboard for the access to programming menu.
Digital gauge.
Connections for detection of minimum water level in aspiration tank. This system is independent of the safety against
dry operation. Is optional.
AIS function (Anti-Ice System). If temperatures under 5 ºC are detected it will start periodically the pump avoiding the
freezing of the water inside the pump.
For environment temperatures under 0ºC it is very important to take measures to avoid water freezing.
Register of operational controls: infomation about operating hours, counter of starts, counter of connections to the power
supply.
