I-MAT Variable speed system driven

by frequency converter

Construction
Variable speed system driven by frequency converter for the
motor control in the water supply applications and in the produc-
tion/distribution of hot/cold water.
I-MAT is an integrated control system which, applied to the motor,
allows to manage a wide range of applications and operating
modes.

Applications
Frequency converter for automatic pump control suitable for:
- water supply
- water transport and distribution
- production and distribution of hot/cold water
- water treatment

For protection of the pumps:

- Against dry running
- Against operations with closed connection ports
- Against overcurrent of the motor
- Against overvoltage and undervoltage of the power supply
- Against unbalance or missing supply phases.

Operating conditions
Standard voltage: 400 V ±10% (380-415V) three-phase
Input voltage: 3~380V-10% ÷ 3~480V+5%
Output voltage: 0 ÷ 100% of the input voltage
Input frequency: 50-60 Hz
Output frequency: up to 70 Hz
Benefits Protection: IP55
Max Ambient Temperature: 50°C
Flexibility Altitude: no higher than 1000 m, inside closed environment.
I-MAT frequency converters are equipped with a software which provide different
operating modes in order to cover a wide range of applications.

Easy to use
The integrated control panel allows to program all the parameters directly on the Type
frequency converters. Moreover it’s possible to remove the control panel and
remote it with a connection cable. Type Freqeuency converter Standard power

Operating modes
Constant pressure mode
Constant pressure keeps the pressure constant at a fixed value set by the user. This value of pressure is automatically kept by the system
to provide to the final user a constant pressure even with different water demand, within the maximum performance of the motor-pump
system.

Proportional pressure modes

Proportional pressure reduces the pressure of the pump (and as a consequence, the operating frequency) proportionally with the water
demand of the system.

Constant temperature mode

In this operating mode the system is used to keep the temperature at a constant value in a specified system point.

Constant flow mode

Constant flow mode grants that system change the speed of the pump in order to keep constant the flow which pass inside a flow meter.

Fixed speed mode

In this operating mode the system work as a fixed speed pump. The speed of the pump could be set by the user between a range of speeds,
or controlled by an external signal.

Night mode
The night mode is an optional mode which allows to reduce the speed of the pump if the temperature in the system decreases below a set
value, this operating mode can be used with all operating modes over described.

Control Panel

I-MAT is equipped with a control panel that allows to carry out the set-up of the
system and to monitor all system parameters.

The control panel is inside a IP55 enclosure which is possible to rotate and install
in remote positions.

It is possible use the control panel in remote positions by means a cable with M12
connectors (standard cable).

The LCD custom display gives an easy overview of the system situation and of
the operating parameters.

The icons on the top and below the display area explain in which way i-MAT is
working and if there are some problems on the system.

The 2 scroll buttons are used to scroll the different operating parameters that i-
MAT can show. At the same time you can use the 2 scroll buttons to move in the
set up menu and to change the different options.

The 4 set-up buttons are created to enter and to move on the set-up menus and
to start and to stop the pump. The symbols help to understand the function of
each button. With these 4 buttons and the 2 scroll buttons you can manage all the
set-up and operating parameters without the use of another control panel or
computers.
