描述 Description

The Littelfuse models 111P (115 volt, 1?3 to 1hp); 233P-1.5 (230 volt, 1?3 to 1.5hp); and 233P (230 volt, 1?3 to 3hp) are singlephase

pump monitors used in a variety of applications to protect from dry-well, dead-head, jammed impeller, rapid-cycling,

overvoltage, and undervoltage conditions.

Operation

A calibration adjustment allows the unit to be calibrated to your specific pumping applications, which reduces the possibility

of false or nuisance tripping. A unique microcontroller-based voltage and current-sensing circuit constantly monitor the

incoming power for fluctuations, overcurrent, and undercurrent conditions. When an abnormality, such as loss of suction,

is detected, the product deactivates its output relay and directly disconnects the pump motor. The relay then begins its

user-selectable restart delay (dry-well recovery) timer. When the timer counts to zero or power is removed and reapplied,

the relay reactivates its output relay and turns the pump back on. The infrared LED communicates with a hand-held

diagnostics tool called the Informer* (sold separately). The Informer displays parameters including calibration points, trip

points, run time and last faults.

There are special considerations for pump cables larger than #10 AWG: In some cases where larger motors are installed

with deep-set pumps, pump cables are used that exceed the relay’s terminal size. In these conditions, a short splice of

#10 AWG or #12 AWG may be a solution at the control box. Note: All local, state, and national electric codes should be

followed when applying this solution.

Note: The description and operations apply to Littelfuse models 111P (115 V, 1?3 to 1 hp); 233P-1.5 (230 V, 1?3 to 1.5 hp); and 233P (230 V, 1?3 to 3 hp). These models have a sensitivity

adjustment for the dry-well trip point. After calibration is complete, you can adjust the sensitivity for the dry-well/dead-head trip point from 70-90 of the full load. This makes the

unit even more adaptable to varying pumping applications. If you have a very low producing well, you increase the sensitivity closer to the 90 mark, or if you have a very heavy

producing well, you should decrease the sensitivity around the 70 mark.

*Informer: A hand-held diagnostic tool that uses an infrared receiver to access information that can be helpful for troubleshooting the system.
