VASCO – VAriable Speed COntroller is a purpose-built family of variable frequency inverters, designed to control and protect pumping systems based on changing pump speed.
From water supply for domestic, irrigation, commercial and industrial applications, to heating and air conditioning, from filtering to pressure washing, the range perfectly fits any new or existing application ensuring:
energy and cost saving
simplified installation
longevity of pumping system
greater reliability
Device units are extremely compact and, connected to any pump on the market, will manage the operation of the pump to maintain a constant desired physical dimension (such as pressure, flow, temperature or other). The pumping system runs only at the speed necessary to meet the user’s requirements, ensuring energy savings and extending the life of the system. It also provides motor protection and monitoring, such as:
protection against overload and dry running
indication of input current and supply voltage
integrated soft start and soft stop functions, extending the life of the system and reducing peak absorption
recording running hours and loggings errors and alarms reported by the system
It can control a second or third pump at constant speed DOL (DOL: Direct On Line)
connect to other devices to get combined operation
The compact body is constructed entirely of aluminium, making device extremely solid, lightweight and easily cooled, adding to the unit’s versatility.
The IP55 degree of protection makes it possible to install it virtually anywhere, including humid and dusty environments. The illuminated liquid crystal display ensures it is easy to operate, and a buzzer provides an immediate indication of alarm
The VASCO range of variable speed drives are cost-effective, fully featured motor mounted units (wall mounting kit available) which can be retrofitted to many types of pump. These devices allow a pump to operate at a lower speed than its maximum when full power is not required. The leads to significant energy savings and reduced wear on the pump. Up to 8 of these units can be connected in cascade mode to control multi-pump systems. A pressure transducer, dry run protection, soft start and duty pump changeover timer are also included.
