Hyjet FPC Series

Hydrostart Pump Controllers are advanced devices designed to automate and protect electric water pumps used in domestic, agricultural, and light industrial applications. Acting as an interface between the water pump and the plumbing system, Hydrostart pump controllers ensure that pumps operate only when needed, maintain steady water pressure, and are protected from conditions that could cause damage such as dry running, overload, or pressure fluctuations. These smart controllers are essential for boosting efficiency, extending pump life, and improving the overall safety and convenience of water supply systems.

• Level control mode – Level empty operation controlled by up to 5 float switches: Low level, duty stop, duty start, standby start and high level.
• Pressure control mode – Pressure boost operation controlled by up to 3 pressure switches: Duty start, standby start and low pressure.
• Duty sharing and alternation – The duty pump alternates on pump start and after 30 minutes of continuous running in alternation mode, or 6 hours of accumulated running in recirculation mode.
• Staggered pump start – Prevents excessive current draw and reduces water surge.
• Manual pump control – Manual pump mode with optional 5-minute timeout to revert to auto mode.
• System enable input – Enables and disables the system in auto mode.
• Static duty mode – No duty alternation, for applications using a smaller duty pump that always starts first.
• Smart chirp mode alarms – Audible alarm automatically silences after 5 minutes if not muted, then chirps every 5 minutes.

• High-level alarm – Alarms after a 15-minute delay with auto reset in stormwater mode, or after 1 minute with manual reset only in sewage mode.
• Low-level protection – Alarms and shuts down pumps on a low level, manual reset only.
• Low-pressure protection – Alarms and shut down pumps if low-pressure input is closed for 60 seconds.
• Prime loss protection – Alarms and shuts down running pumps if there is no flow for 30 seconds.
• Pump anti-seize protection – Runs pumps periodically during low use to prevent seizing.
• Pump current sensing – Provides adjustable pump overload, undercurrent and zero current protection.

Additional options are added to the end of the code after the overload rating, eg: FPC-82143-LR/BMS. Most options can only be added to the inner door version.
