IFS Single Phase Simplex Capacitor
The IFS simplex capacitor (start/run) control panel utilizes an innovative
circuit board design to control one 120/208/240V single phase pump in water
and sewage applications. IFS panels feature an easy-to-use touch pad on inner
door for programming and system monitoring. The panel configuration can be
easily converted in the field to either a timed dose or demand dose. Available
with the EZconnex® float system.
The panel can utilize the C-Level™ sensor for continuous level monitoring. It
senses the level in the tank and sends a signal to the panel. Pump activation
levels can be adjusted by using the panel touch pad. C-Level™ CL40 sensor
operating range is 3-39.9 inches (7.6-101.3 cm). C-Level™ CL100 operating
range is 3-99.5 inches (7.6-252.7 cm).
NOTE: SJE Rhombus will warranty motor start kit components supplied by
SJE Rhombus for one year. SJE Rhombus makes no warranty of any type with
respect to motor start kits supplied by the customer.
TOUCH PAD FEATURES
A. Level Status indicators illuminate when floats or set points are activated;
alarm will activate if a float operates out of sequence
B. HOA (Hand-Off-Automatic) buttons control pump mode with indication; Hand
mode defaults to Automatic when stop level or redundant off level is reached
C. Pump Run indicator will illuminate when pumps are called to run
D. LED Display for system information including: level in inches or
centimeters (C-Level™ only), mode, pumps elapsed time (hh:mm), events
(cycles), alarm counter, float error count, timed dose override counter (timed
dose only), and ON/OFF times (timed dose only)
E. NEXT push button toggles display
F. UP and SET push buttons set pump ON/OFF times (timed dose only) and
activation levels (C-Level™ only)
COMPONENTS
- Enclosure base measures 16 x 14 x 6 inches (40.64 x 35.56 x 15.24 cm); NEMA 4X (ultraviolet stabilized thermoplastic with removable mounting feet for outdoor or indoor use)
- Red LED beacon provides 360° visual check of alarm condition
- Exterior Alarm Test/Normal/Silence switch allows horn and light to be tested and horn to be silenced in an alarm condition; alarm automatically resets once alarm condition is cleared
- Alarm horn provides audio warning of alarm condition (83 to 85 decibel rating)
- Overload relay (optional) provides pump overload protection (Not shown)
- IEC motor contactor controls pump by switching electrical lines
- Circuit breaker (optional) provides pump disconnect and branch circuit protection
- Float and control/alarm incoming terminal block
- Control Power indicator/fuse indicator light illuminates if control power is present in panel; alarm will activate if control fuse is blown
- Alarm Power indicator/fuse indicator light illuminates if alarm power is present in panel
- Large pump connection power terminal block
- Terminal block float and control/alarm incoming power wiring label
- Ground lugs
Note: Options, voltage, and amp range selected may change enclosure size
and component layout.
Note: Schematic/Wiring Diagram and Pump Specification Label are located
inside the panel.
