Applications involving the flow of water demand extreme reliability and low energy consumption. Control Techniques’ F600 drive, part of the newly introduced Specialist series of industry-specific drive technologies, builds on our company’s five decades of drives expertise, delivering precise, dependable flow control.
Everything you need is baked into the drive itself. The F600 packs all of the features you’ll need, presented using terminology you’ll understand. This isn’t a generic drive with pump features tacked on; it’s a dedicated, specialist pump drive, designed from the ground up to deliver the reliability and efficiency you need.
The perfect mix of application-specific features developed into a single solution
Speaks your language
The F600 drive is tuned to suit your every need, optimised for minimal setup time yet sacrificing none of the flexibility. Whatever the challenge, our dedicated approach to clear parameter naming and structuring ensures we not only have the answers, but in a format you’ll understand.
Energy savings, unlocking the potential
On average, 85% of a pump’s life-cycle cost is attributed to its energy consumption, therefore, optimising the energy usage can mean a significant reduction in the total cost of ownership. The F600 drive thrives on delivering more efficient ways of operating your variable torque application. You’ll see the benefits in reduced running costs and lower energy requirements.
Total control
The F600 can also control the most efficient motors available, meeting IE5 efficiency levels, such as the Nidec Leroy Somer Dyneo+ hybrid permanent-magnet motor. With all of this combined, the F600 is your best choice to save you money every day.
Engineered for your application
The F600 Pump Drive offers a host of dedicated features including dry-run prevention, pipe fill, pump cleaning, over-cycling protection and level switch control. A range of different control modes covering single pumps and also different parallel pump configurations make Control Techniques’ F600 a truly versatile solution.
Free 5 year warranty
To share our confidence in the reliability of Control Techniques, drives in the F600 range are eligible for Control Techniques’ extended warranty, at no extra cost.
It is a testament to our exceptional track record for reliability, giving you total peace of mind that your investment is protected and your site will continue to run uninterrupted. Warranty terms and conditions apply.
Highly efficient pre-engineered motor control system
Control Techniques’ Free Standing Drive optimizes motor energy efficiency and comes ready to use, ore-assembled in its own industry-standard cabinet with all necessary system components included. The Pump Drive F600’s Free Standing Drive variant complements and extends the product range, while having all of the core product’s capabilities and features.
No extra engineering required
The Free Standing Drive fits a small footprint, and it’s easy to integrate with common enclosures, including as standard: load switch, fuses, fan, line and sharing chokes and cabling. The enclosures will soon be available with an optional door-mounted HMI, for easy set-up and maintenance.
Thanks to the dedicated online configurator, getting a quote and ordering is as simple as can be. Even more, we can ship your Free Standing Drive to you at very short lead times, saving weeks on typical industry standards.
The Pump Drive F600 offers a full IP65 solution with exactly the same dedicated pump features & capabilities as the standard models.
IP65 provides protection from total dust ingress and low pressure water jets from any direction, making it a simple choice for harsh environments and the outdoors*. The Pump Drive F600 is now one of the most protected drives on the market, maximising pump uptime and productivity, while cutting maintenance costs.
Standard and High IP drives
The High IP drive will already be familiar to users of the F600, with all the same features that make commissioning effortless. The Hand-Off-Auto keypad with the built-in real-time clock is still available, sealed, and the protective casing has been designed with easy servicing and usability in mind. This new variant enables customers to use both standard and high IP drives for the same project, so there is no longer any headache with mixing-and-matching vendors or product feature sets, making project qualification straightforward.
Save on installation
The F600 High IP drive is enclosed in a sturdy, protective yet light casing, providing a compact solution. This not only allows easy integration in harsh environments but wall mounting close to the pump reduces installation costs, through:
No cabinet required
Shorter cable lengths
Less labour time/cost to install drive
Free 5 year warranty
To share our confidence in the reliability of Control Techniques, the Pump Drive F600 High IP product is also eligible for Control Techniques’ extended warranty, at no extra cost.
