Pump Drive F600

Simple, reliable flow control

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.

Free Standing Drive Range

Ready to use pre-engineered high power drives

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.

Pump Drive F600 IP65
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.

Keypads

	KI-HOA Keypad RTC (Supplied as standard*) The KI-HOA Keypad RTC provides Hand-Off-Auto control. The display presents up to four lines of real text with multilanguage translation, enhancing clarity and increasing ease of use. A battery operated real-time clock allows scheduling of run and off periods and adds accurate time stamping to diagnostics to aid rapid fault resolution.
	Remote HOA Keypad RTC Remote mountable keypad, allowing flexible mounting on the outside of a panel (meets IP54/NEMA 12). The keypad offers Hand-Off-Auto control and can present up to four lines of real text with multi language translation, enhancing clarity and increasing ease of use. Battery operated real-time clock allows scheduling of run and off periods and adds accurate time stamping to logged events, aiding diagnostics.
	KI-485 Adaptor This adaptor can be fit in place of the drive keypad and provides additional ports to communicate via RS485. The adaptor is commonly used for programming the drive.

System Integration Modules - Communications

	SI-Ethernet External Ethernet module that supports EtherNet/IP and Modbus TCP/IP and has an integrated web server that can generate emails. The module can be used to provide high speed drive access, global connectivity and integration with IT network technologies, such as wireless networking. To use multiple F600 drives in Multi-leader mode in a parallel pump system, each F600 drive must have an SI-Ethernet module fitted.
