What is press control

The PRESSDRIVE is a completely silent device and is designed for automatic water supply.

Generalities of press control

Manufactured to work with clean water.
It is a compact device composed of a level switch, check valve and reset button.
It has been developed to maintain a constant pressure.
Prevents the pump from operating without water.
Avoid water hammer.
It does not require air preload or regulation.
With water reserve to avoid starting up in case of a dripping tap.
With a water consumption greater than 1 l/min the pump is always running.
Stop the pump when it reaches maximum pressure, taking into account that the differential must be greater than 0.7 bars.

TECHNICAL DATA of the press control

Liquid temperature:…………………………..4ºC – 60ºC
Ambient temperature: …………………………0ºC – 40ºC
Storage temperature:………. -10ºC – 50ºC
Maximum ambient relative humidity:………………95%
Starting pressure: ……………………………. 1.5 – 2.5 bar.

Features or specifications of a presscontrol

The data or specifications that manufacturers show us help us select the device that meets our requirements, such as:

Supply voltage: essential depending on the region or country where we reside. (120v or 220v AC for example)
Working frequency.
Peak current: amperes that the device can handle, it is important to determine if we should activate the motor through a relay or contactor or we can do it directly from the device.
Power: maximum power it can handle.
Maximum pressure: maximum operating pressure bars.
Maximum temperature: degrees Celsius that the water should not exceed.
starting pressure: pressure at which the device activates the pump.
Caudal: maximum flow allowed.
Local: diameter of the inlet and outlet sockets.

Another name for presscontrol

To begin with, it is worth mentioning thatPresscontrol is also called: pressdrive, automatic pressure controller pressure switch).

Disagreements between flow sensor (flow switch) and a presscontrol

Flow switch pressure requirements:

The Flow Switch activates the pump when detecting a flow. This implies that there must be minimal pressure.
Requires a minimum inlet pressure of 0.02bar or to remain installed 0,2m below the elevated tank.

Pressure switch

The pressure switch or PressControl is a device that activates the pump and cuts off the pump when a certain pressure is reached in the pipe., for example with the faucet when it is closed, the pressure in the line begins to increase up to the cut-off pressure and deactivates the pump.
It is a device that cuts off when the set pressure is reached.
Therefore, looking at it this way, it would also serve to use it as a smart pump because when the float in the tank cuts off, the pressure in the pipes would begin to rise and it would cut off later. And in this case it could be used as a smart pump directly from a cistern.

Pressdrive 05 Installation

IFirst of all, emphasize again that these devices are designed for indoor use.

1st phase of Installation of Pressdrive 05

Fixation

Mount the kit directly on the pump discharge or in series with the discharge pipe, using the incorporated fitting, as shown in the images.
figures 1 and 2.
Ensure the tightness of the fittings (for example with Teflon tape).
ATTENTION: The kit must always be left in a vertical position, with the suction mouth on the lower side and the discharge on the upper side.
The pressure gauge will remain in the normal reading position.
It will be ensured that it is safe from possible flooding, that it is protected from inclement weather and that it will be provided with good ventilation.
If the pump on which the PRESSDRIVE is installed is directly connected to the network, it must be taken into account that the inlet pressure is added to the pump pressure, and that the final pressure cannot exceed 10 bars.
It can be interspersed in an installation as long as there is sufficient flow to feed it.
See installation diagrams.

2nd phase of Pressdrive 05 Installation

Assembly of the delivery pipes

It is recommended to use pipes with a diameter equal to that of the discharge mouth or larger to reduce the
pressure losses in long and winding sections of pipes.
The pipe must never rest directly on the pressure group and must ensure a
perfect tightness.
It is advisable to install flexible anti-vibration tube to prevent the rigidity of the pipes from breaking.
the equipment (Fig. 2)
It is not necessary to install a check valve.

3nd phase of Pressdrive 05 Installation

Electric connection

The electrical installation must have a multiple separation system with opening
3 mm contacts.
The system protection will be based on a differential switch (Δfn = 30 mA).
The power cable must correspond, at least, to type H05 RN-F (according to 60245 IEC 57) and have terminals.
The connection and its sizing must be carried out by an authorized installer, according to the needs of the installation and following the regulations in force in each country.
The maximum nominal current of the pump cannot exceed 12 A. and the power absorbed by the motor (P1) must not exceed 2,5 kW.
Follow the instructions in figures 3 and 4 for correct electrical installation.

Commissioning of press control pool pressurization group

1st procedure for starting up the presscontrol pressdrive espa

Start-up of the group

First steps for commissioning pressdrive espa

Keep a water outlet tap open to purge air from the facility.
Turn on the supply switch.
The group sets off for 10″.
The LINE indicator flashes quickly.

After 10 minutes of starting up the equipment

If the group supplies water normally, the motor
It stays working and LINE shines steadily.
If the pump has not been primed, the error occurs after 10″ due to lack of water.
The FAULT indicator flashes and the engine stops.
To prime the pump press the RESET key.
Once this operation is completed, close the tap and the group will stop after 10″.
The LINE indicator flashes slowly. It is the "standby" mode.

2st procedure for starting up the presscontrol pressdrive espa

Presscontrol failures: due to lack of water and retries

If the Pressdrive detects that the pump is running without water, it stops the motor.
The FAULT indicator flashes.
The Pressdrive will try to start again after 1', 5', 15' and 1 hour.
If the retries are not successful, the Pressdrive will remain in permanent failure.
The FAULT indicator lights up.
To interrupt the retry cycle or to restart from a permanent fault, press the RESET key.

3st procedure for starting up the presscontrol pressdrive espa

Minimum flow

When the flow rate supplied by the group is less than 1 l/min, the LINE indicator flashes very
quickly.
At 10″ the normal engine stop occurs.
The group is "on hold."

4st procedure for starting up the presscontrol pressdrive espa

Starting pressure regulation

Action to adjust the starting pressure

The regulation of the starting pressure is carried out using the screw located in the upper part of the
Kit (fig. 5).
Open a faucet in the installation and read the pressure indicated on the manometer at start-up.
Act on the adjustment screw in the desired direction.
Normally the start should be set 0.2 bar (3 psi) higher than the static pressure of the installation above the kit.

Maintenance and safety of automatic pressurized water groups

Automatic constant pressure water groups are maintenance-free

Safety and Damage Prevention Instructions

Safety and damage prevention rules for the Presscontrol product

Pay attention to employment limits.
The voltage of the plate must be the same as that of the network.
Connect the equipment to the network using an omnipolar switch with a contact opening distance of at least 3mm.
As additional protection from lethal electrical shocks, install a highly sensitive differential switch (0,03A).
Ground the unit.
Use the pump within the performance range indicated on the plate.
Remember to prime the pump.
Make sure the engine can self-vent.
Children should not play with the device.
Be careful with liquids and dangerous environments.
Beware of accidental losses.
Do not expose the electric pump to the elements.
Pay attention to the formation of ice.
Disconnect from the power before any maintenance intervention.

Tips to extend the life of Pressdrive equipment

Warnings to prolong the life of Pressdrive espa equipment

Clean the equipment with a damp cloth and without using aggressive products.
In times of frost, be careful to empty the pipes.
If the equipment is going to be inactive for a long time, it is recommended to dismantle it and store it in a dry and ventilated place.
In the event of a breakdown, handling of the equipment can only be carried out by an authorized technical service.

Presscontrol faults

Video tutorials Presscontrol errors

Presscontrol faults: does not start

Explanation of Presscontrol faults: does not start

When a presscomfort starts to fail, and the well water motor does not start, you have to check if the voltage is reaching the terminals correctly, if the pump is clogged, the suction line is well primed and have a volunteer next to an open tap. to test the starts.

In this case the motor wants to start but it does not, the initial solution was to remove the thief from the plug, and it did not cause problems for a few days but after a week the same problem occurred again, at that time I changed the 12 microfarad capacitor at 450 volts and I left it to test, my friend Miguel will tell me.
