DAB Pump (1.1 kW, 10 A, 230 V) Control Auto-Reset Electronic Pressure Controller - Dry Run Protection, Constant Flow

Intelligent Pump Management with Automatic Restart

 

The DAB Pump Controller is an advanced electronic device that replaces traditional pressure switches and expansion vessels, offering a compact and reliable way to automate your water pressure system. It is designed to automatically start and stop the pump based on water demand (opening and closing of fixtures).

Crucially, this model features Auto-Restart, meaning if the power goes out or the pump encounters a dry run fault, it will automatically attempt to restart when power or water supply is restored, reducing the need for manual intervention. With built-in Dry Run Protection, the controller immediately stops the pump when water runs out, safeguarding the motor from damage. The device ensures a consistent water flow and pressure up to 10 bar, making it ideal for residential boosting, irrigation, and rainwater harvesting.

  Key Benefits

• Automatic Operation: Starts and stops the pump based on tap opening/closing.

• Auto-Restart: Automatically attempts to restart the pump after a power outage or a dry run protection shut-off.

• Dry Run Protection: Immediately halts the pump when water supply is insufficient, preventing motor damage.

• Integrated Non-Return Valve: Maintains pressure in the system and prevents backflow.

• High Power Rating: Suitable for pumps up to 1.1kW (10A).

• High Protection: IP65 rated for excellent protection against dust and water spray.

  Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. Does this controller require a pressure tank or expansion vessel?

   • No. The electronic controller manages the starting and stopping of the pump directly based on flow, eliminating the need for a separate expansion vessel.

2. What does "Dry Run Protection" mean?

   • If the water source (e.g., tank or well) runs dry, the controller immediately switches the pump off to prevent it from running without water, which would cause severe damage to the pump motor.

3. How do I set the pressure?

   • The restart pressure is pre-set at 1.5 bar and is non-adjustable. The controller automatically stops the pump when the water fixtures are closed and the maximum pump pressure is reached. Your pump must be capable of generating at least 1.5 bar more than the system's back pressure.
