Artesian Drive® Irrigation Controller


Artesian Drive® Irrigation Controller

Drives & Controls

Eliminates pressure cycling associated with conventional pressure switch controlled water pumping systems.

  • Features and Benefits

    Artesian Drive® is a line of custom-programmed Variable Frequency Drives (VFD) that enhance the performance of standard centrifugal pumps. When applied correctly to 3 Ph motor-driven pumps, the Artesian Drive® eliminates pressure-cycling associated with conventional pressure-switch-controlled water pumping systems and provides a constant output pressure by increasing or decreasing motor speed, based upon demand.

    Artesian Drive® is factory-programmed for F&W centrifugal pumps to provide optimum performance and motor protection. The Artesian Drive® can be used with other pump brands, provided the pump is powered by a 3 Ph motor that does not exceed the maximum current output rating of the drive.

    • Pre-programmed drives: no need for field technician to program the drive at the site
    • Drives are available for centrifugal pumps powered by a 3 Ph motor
    • Constant water pressure with a wide range of settings (15-95 PSI)*
    • Pressure is easily adjusted with a 7/32” (5.6 mm) allen wrench
    • Works with a small pressure tank or larger tank, already in place
    • No in-rush current at start-up
    • Soft start reduces mechanical/electrical stress, prolonging pump and motor life

    Built-in protection and diagnostics:

    • Low line voltage
    • Short circuit
    • High voltage/lightning protection
    • Dry run conditions, using intelligent load monitoring
    • Overheated drive with automatic reset

    Included items:

    • Factory-programmed variable speed drive unit
    • NEMA 4 enclosure
    • Pressure sensor, preset at 50 PSI
    • Sensor adjustment tool
    • 10′ (3 m) sensor cable

    1 year limited warranty

    Notes

    The maximum obtainable system pressure is limited by the performance of the pump installed.
