The ElectricPAK VFD from Pioneer Pump is a rugged, packaged variable frequency drive solution designed to withstand the demands of mobile dewatering applications. It features an industry-leading touchscreen interface, known as SmartPrime, that’s as intuitive to use as a mobile app.
Users benefit from a fast startup and simple monitoring experience, eliminating the need for complex keypad setup, advanced programming skills or specialized training. Inside the unit, the VFD uses Franklin Electric’s proven electronics to deliver dependable performance and optimized motor control. Choose from two portable VFD package options:
- Standalone: Fully welded metal cage design keeps the VFD protected and secure during transport and setup while providing extra protection against job site hazards.
- Integrated: The quality and service of Franklin Electric packaged with the performance and durability of the Pioneer Pump ElectricPAK system. These full packages are optimized to work together to get the job done and provide for secure transport within a job site or from one job site to another.
Every VFD comes backed by Franklin Electric’s support network. The company’s team of engineers and service specialists have decades of experience working with professionals in the field and understand how to help you get the most out of your pumping system.
No learning curve with SmartPrime
One of the first hurdles operations must clear when upgrading their pumping systems to VFD control is education and product knowledge, specifically programming and operation. Gaining that knowledge is a resource-heavy process that requires the equipment operators to attend multiday training programs, often taught directly by the manufacturer.
The SmartPrime Control Interface helps to cut that resource cost by modeling its operation after the industry standard diesel-driven pump package. Any user familiar with diesel engine-powered pump operation can translate that knowledge quickly and easily to installing, programming and running a VFD-controlled system without the resource cost typically required for such a system.
You can handle all aspects of operation from a streamlined central hub with easy-to-navigate graphics. Fast startup and simple monitoring eliminate the need for complex keypad setup and programming.
Two SmartPrime mode choices help operators get packages up and running with just a few clicks:
- Manual mode lets users adjust basic pump parameters using simple on-screen tools, and includes analog sensor monitoring for up to four control and data variables.
- Auto mode lets users set up preprogrammed behavior, including maintain level, two-float level control, constant pressure output, drain wet well and more.
An alternative Hand Mode allows users to operate the panel with tactile push-buttons and a door-mounted speed potentiometer.
The system tracks and logs alarms onto an SD card, allowing for quick and easy review and troubleshooting.
You can get fully operational in no time thanks to a suite of product features designed to ease installation and programming times:
- Series 16 quick connect power gland panels streamline power, float and transducer connection.
- Using ElectricPAK products in conjunction helps to simplify motor setup with integrated package identification numbers — no need to search for separate input parameters.
- The front of the panel includes clear indicators for critical operations, including an emergency e-stop push-button.
