Motor Type Selection (DIP SW1 – Position 6)
Use DIP SW1 Position 6 to select between a submersible or surface (centrifugal) pump.
Select the SUB (down) position for submersible applications. Then, use DIP SW2 and SW3 groups to
select motor and pump sizes.
Select the CEN (up) position for surface applications. When CEN is selected, DIP SW2 and SW3
groups are re-purposed to configure surface pump parameters.
Submersible Motor and Pump Sizes (DIP SW2 & DIP SW3)
Select a single DIP switch from the SW2 group that corresponds to the motor horsepower being
used. Use the legend printed on the black shield as a guide.
Select a single DIP switch from the SW2 group that corresponds to the pump horsepower being
used. Use the legend printed on the black shield as a guide.
Selecting none or more than one switch in either group will result in an Invalid DIP Switch Fault,
indicated by F24 on the display.
Surface Motor Overload (Size) and System Response (DIP SW2 & DIP SW3)
When using a SubDrive in a surface application, and DIP SW1 Position 6 is set to CEN (up), select a
single DIP switch from the SW2 and SW3 groups that corresponds to an overload current value
equal to or less than the motor nameplate current rating. Use the following table, or the white leg-
end on the shield, as a guide:
Model
Max
Current
SD 15
5.9
SD 20
8.1
SD 30
10.9
SD 50
17.8
Selecting none or more than one switch in either group will result in an Invalid DIP Switch Fault,
indicated by F24 on the display.
More precise settings are available when using the FE Connect mobile app. Refer to
Motor Settings" on page
System Response: When using a pressure transducer with a surface pump application, the system
response can be adjusted as follows:
System Response
Proportional Gain (P)
Integration Time (I)
Ramp Rate (R)
Select one DIP switch for preset FAST, MED, or SLOW system response parameters. Selecting more
than one switch will result in an Invalid DIP Switch Fault indicated by F24 on the display. If no selec-
tion is made, the system will default to SLOW (no fault occurs).
