MODULAR BY DESIGN

The HydroMaster™ Irrigation package is modular by design. Adding additional components such as: lightning arrestors, voltage monitors, line or load reactors is easy. Mounting holes have been tapped and drilled in predetermined locations to make field modifications a breeze. The aforementioned components can be factory-installed for you or they can be added at a later time.

All of the VFDs in the HydroMaster™ Irrigation package can be used for phase conversion so you can run 3 phase motors any-where you have appropriate voltage; even if it is single phase. The core of the HydroMaster™ Irrigation package is the variable speed drive which has both volts per Hz control and sensor-less torque vector for those hard to start loads. All drives are constant torque rated to operate the most stubborn operations and changeable to raise the horsepower output when a variable torque load is needed.

ENHANCED LOGIC-DRIVEN CONTROL

As an option, a simple-to program and easy-to-use 3.5” color touchscreen controller is available for all packages. Adding the controller gives fully annunciated shutdowns, full overload and underload control using pump Affinity Laws. The controller mounts on the cabinet door under a metal cover for superior protection. Ease of access makes program changes easy and convenient (password protected to prohibit unauthorized setting changes).

The 3.5” touchscreen gives full control over your VFD’s I/O for remote shutdown/alarm switches with user definable names, fully settable start up timers, operational delay timers and reset delay timers. The controller comes standard with an extra RS485/232 Modbus RTU port so, with the addition of a modem, you can have your system text your service people when the unit shuts down or faults.

For even greater control and peace of mind, you can add our fully operational remote monitoring hardware which will allow you to see your equipment in real time and have the ability to make remote settings, start/stop commands and alarm resets from any Internet capable device. The remote monitoring system can even let you know if you have lost power at a site because it automatically monitors your system’s health. If communication or power is lost, it can email and text you without the hassle of a battery backup system being needed.
