- Programmable Set Point & Scaling...12 different plain text engineering units are available, including PSI and GPM
- Control Pressure, Start Level & Start Time...flexibility to start the pump at different feedback levels or use the integrated timer to eliminate cycling.
- Sleep Mode Minimum Flow Protection...protects and shuts down the pump at low speeds or in low flow conditions.
- Sleep Boost...intended for use with a pressure tank, iQpump® will boost the set pressure prior to shutdown, extending the pump's sleep time,reducing cycling, and saving energy.
- No Flow Detection...separate from Sleep Mode, this detects changes in motor RPM relative to sudden changes in pressure or flow; protecting against broken pipe, excessive well drawdown or run-dry conditions.
- Pre-Charge Control...this programmable feature eliminates water hammer and extends system life by gradually filling a pipe line before normal full pressure and flow operation. Motor speed can be controlled with a system timer, level or pressure control device to indicate when normal operation may begin.
- Thrust Bearing Control...protects the bearings of submersible motors by ensuring start up speeds and times meet manufacturer's recommendations.
- Automatic System Restart...programmable timers allow the iQpump® to automaticalloy restart the system in Auto Mode for faults relating to brown out's, no power, power spikes, and dry well.
- Utility Start Delay Timer...used in conjunction with "Automatic Restart", a programmabletimer will delay starting to allow for multiple pumps to sequencestart on loss of power. This function ensures that the power systemin not stressed when utility power has returned and pump systemis automatically restarted.
- Loss of Prime (LOP)...Loss of prime protection is a feature to protect the pump and motorfrom damage that would be caused if the pump were operatedwithout water. If a pump were to lose prime and continue tooperate without water moving through the pump, the pump woulddevelop heat, which would eventually damage the pump seal,motor, pipe manifold and related components.
- Low & High Pressure Feedback Detection...iQpump® continously monitors the system feedback device to provide a warning alarm or fault based on programmed level.
- Flow Meter Data Logging...through a secondary analog input a flow sensor can be connectedinline with the pump system back to iQpump to read andaccumulate total flow for system reporting to authorities. Systemcan be configured to detect “No Flow” and “Sleep” on low demand.
- Multiplex Automatic Stabilization...iQpump® automatically balances multi-pump systems to stabilize performance and reduce cycling.
- Flow Monitor Loss Protection...iQpump monitors the current or voltage signal of the flow feedbackdevice to determine if a failure has occurred.
- Single Drive with Two Pump Alternation Sequence...this feature will sequence iQpump digital outputs based on pumprun time hours to alternate two pumps for even wear.
- Timed Run / Stop Control...provides a method to automatically run and stop for a givenamount of time. This feature is used for clearing sediment out ofnewly drilled wells and tank filling control.

- Pump Fault and Alarms...iQpump® provides a comprehensive set of pump related alarms and faults. Faults are displayed on the keypad in clear text to eliminate confusion.
- Over Cycling
- No Flow
- Loss of Prime
- Transducer Loss
- Over Torque
- Low & High Pressure Feedback detection
- Pump Over Cycling
- Dry Well
- Motor Protection...iQpump® protects the motor by monitoring:
- Output Phase Loss
- Ground Fault
- Motor Overload
- Motor Over Temperature
- Broken Shaft
- iQpump® Drive Protection...
- Over Voltage
- Input Phase Loss
- Under Voltage
- Phase Imbalance
- Short Circuit
- Transducer Loss Protection...iQpump® monitors the feedback device voltage or current levels to determine if the transducer has failed.
- Impeller Anti-Jam Automatic Control...provides a method for the user to select iQpump to detect high current and attempt to expel corrosion or solids which are keeping the pump impeller form operating efficiently, system will perform aquick reversal to try and dislodge jam.
- Impeller De-Scale Automatic Control...iQpump will monitor pump run time hours and will perform a rapidbi-directional acceleration to dislodge scale.
- Low City Pressure...municipal booster systems that use an external pressureswitch to monitor a minimum inlet city pressure for the pumpsystem to run. iQpump will monitor the pressure switch and willdisplay "Low City Pressure" to alert operator that an issue hasoccurred outside of the iQpump and pump system.
- Lube Pump Control...designed for pumps that require pre-lubrication before each start.Digital output will energize a solenoid valve for a programmabletime before starting allowing for lubrication each time the pump isstarted.
- Constant Pressure with Well Draw Down Control...this function allows iQpump to control constant pressure whenthere is adequate water in the well, while monitoring a seconddown hole transducer for water level. If the water level drops belowuser settings then iQpump reduces pump speed to maximize welloutput. System will return automatically to normal operation whenwell water is recharged to an adequate level.
- Time Delayed External Fault Inputs...programmable settings that will delay pump faults to allow fortransition of input power from utility to generator and vise versa.Examples are moisture relays, seal failure relays, external phasemonitors, etc.
