CentriPro
CentriPro “Aquavar SPD” variable speed, constant pressure pump controller is designed for the professional
pump installer.
With application specific features and CentriPro designed software, the SPD was developed specifically for use
with submersible and centrifugal pumps.
This variable speed controller goes beyond a “standard” drive, giving the pump professional a rugged design
that is built for demanding conditions.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
• Irrigation → Irrigation applications use both submersible and surface pumps. Choose an SPD for control
standard 4" and 6" submersible motors as well as turbine pumps and surface centrifugal pumps up to 30 HP.
• Rural Water
• Pressure Boosting
• Agriculture
• Retrofit → Existing constant speed control systems
• Phase Conversion → 1 phase to 3 phase power
• Two Versions for Submersible and Above Ground Installations
SPD _____F (example: SPD20050F) Models have filters to reduce electrical noise created by drives with long
wire runs, typical of submersible installations.
SPD ____0 (example: SPD20050) Models are for above ground installation with short wire runs.

KEY FEATURES AND BENEFITS
• Energy Saving → The SPD is a true variable frequency controller which adjusts motor speed to match the
hydraulic needs of the system to maintain pressure. Unlike valve controlled systems, the energy draw is
substantially reduced during lower flow while keeping the pump close to its best efficiency. Up to 70% energy
savings over fixed speed pumps are common.
• Easy Set-up → Install wiring, set DIP switches and go! Total set up time including wiring is less than 30 minutes.
• NEMA 3R → Outdoor rated enclosure with operating temperatures from -22º F to 122º F!
• Dual Phase Input → UL listed for both three phase and single phase input (de-rated available).
• Filter → Includes output filter rated to 1000 feet of motor lead, standard on models with "F" suffix for
submersible installations.
• True Motor Match → The SPD is designed for the higher amp requirements typical of submersible pumps on
start-up. A 10 HP SPD will run a 10 HP submersible pump!
• Transducer → As with all CentriPro drives, the pressure transducer is included.
• Full Diagnostics → Electrical protection and diagnostics, plus a full range of pump protection features such as
bound pump or motor shut down, low water or loss of prime shut down.
• Lockout/Tagout → Cover can be locked to prevent unauthorized entry.
• Remote on/off → Permits external control by timers (irrigation), float or pressure switches (tank draining) or
manual control. Dry contact closure required.
• Hand/Auto Option → Allows the drive to be run at full speed without a pressure transducer for longer periods
of time as in the case of new well development or system start up. Turning the control back to auto resumes the
automatic pressure tracking and control.
• Remote Monitoring → External monitors may be connected to the drive for monitoring pump running speed
(4-20 mA output based on speed), pump on, and system fault. The fault indicator can also be connected to
devices like an auto-dialer. This enables control of pumps and drives in un-manned locations. The 4-20 mA
output can be utilized for functions such as an external dosing system, or chlorine injection.
• Pressure Drop → The drive restart value can be adjusted from 5 PSI drop to 20 PSI. This allows for fewer starts
and for small leaks that can be common in irrigation systems.
• Dual Set Point → Two pressure set points are available, controlled with an external switch, such as a timer.
• No Water Restart → Adjust the time delay after a “dry well” fault, from 10 minutes to 2 hours between each
restart. Ideal for low yielding wells.

STARTING THE SYSTEM
Setting the Motor Overload Switches
The Motor Overload Setting Switches adjust the level of motor overload current
protection necessary to protect the motor in case of an over current condition.
Bank 1 switches 1, 2 and 3 allow adjustment of the motor overload setting. These
switches adjust the motor overload protection as a percentage of the full load
output current rating of the controller. Choose a motor overload setting that
meets or is less than the motor’s SFA rating. For example, if the full load output
current rating of the controller is 37A and the motor SFA rating is 33A, the motor
overload setting should be set to 85% (33A/37A = 89%, next lowest setting is
85%).
In applications where the pump and motor are not used to the full capacity the
system may not draw current close to the motor’s SFA rating. In this case choose a
motor overload setting that is close to the actual full load running current.
NOTE: If single phase input power is used the motor overload switches must be
set to 50% or lower or nuisance input phase loss errors can result.
The chart below shows the motor overload setting for each model.

INPUT AND OUTPUT FUNCTIONS
The control terminal strips allow for a variety of input and output
functions.
Warning: Turn off all power to the controller before wiring devices to the
control terminals.
Warning: Inputs RUN/STOP, HAND/AUTO, SP2/SP1 and PRESSURE DROP
are switch inputs. Do not connect power to these inputs or damage to the
controller will result. Only connect non-powered switch contacts to these
inputs.
RUN/STOP: This input allows the pump/motor to be turned on and off by
an external switch. Connect the contacts of a non-powered external switch
to terminals 1 (COM) and 2 (RUN/STOP). When the switch is closed the
controller is in RUN mode (output to motor is enabled). When the switch
is open the controller is in STOP mode (output to motor is disabled).
HAND/AUTO: This input allows the controller to run the motor at
full speed without the use of a pressure transducer. This input can be
controlled by an external non-powered switch. Connect the contacts
of a non-powered external switch to terminals 3 (COM) and 4 (HAND/AUTO). When the switch is closed the
controller is in HAND mode. While in HAND mode the RUN/STOP input is used to start and stop the motor and
the pressure transducer input is ignored. When the switch is open the controller is in AUTO mode. While in
AUTO mode the controller uses the pressure transducer feedback to control the speed of the motor.
INPUT and +24V: These terminals are the transducer feedback and transducer power supply. Connect the
white lead from the transducer cable to terminal 6 (INPUT). Connect the brown lead from the transducer
cable to terminal 7 (+24V). Connecting the drain (bare) wire to the chassis allows grounding of the case of the
pressure transducer. The controller is configured with a 300 PSI 4-20mA output pressure transducer.
ANALOG OUTPUT: This output is a 4-20mA signal based on motor speed (4mA = 0Hz, 20mA = 60Hz) and can
be connected to external monitoring or external control devices. Connect terminal 10 (ANALOG OUTPUT) to
the 4-20mA input of the external device. Connect terminal 9 (COM) to the negative side of the current loop
on the external device. The external device must have an input resistance (impedance) in the range of 45Ω to
250Ω. The maximum output voltage is 24V.
SP2/SP1: This input allows the system to operate at one of 2 pressure settings. This input can be controlled by
an external non-powered switch. Connect the contacts of a non-powered external switch to terminals 5 (COM)
and 11 (SP2/SP1). When the switch is closed pressure set point 2 is enabled (preset to 75 PSI when used with a
300 PSI transducer). When the switch is open pressure set point 1 is enabled (preset to 50 PSI when used with a
300 PSI transducer).
PRESSURE DROP: This input allows the user to select the amount of pressure drop in the system before the
pump starts. This input can be controlled by an external non-powered switch. Connect the contacts of a non-
powered external switch to terminals 5 or 9 (COM) and 12 (PRESSURE DROP). When the switch is closed the
system pressure will drop 20 PSI (when used with a 300 PSI transducer) before restarting the pump. When the
switch is open the system pressure will drop 5 PSI (when used with a 300 PSI transducer) before restarting the
pump.
RUN RELAY: This output indicates when the pump/motor is running. This output can be used to control power
to a light, an alarm or other external device. When the pump/motor is off terminal 13 (RELAY1 – NO) will be
open and terminal 14 (RELAY 1 – NC) will be connected to terminal 15 (RELAY1 – COM). When the pump/motor
is on terminal 13 (RELAY1 – NO) will be connected to terminal 15 (RELAY1 – COM) and terminal 14 (RELAY 1 –
NC) will be open. The relay rating is 250Vac, 5 amps maximum.
FAULT RELAY: This output indicates when the system is faulted. This output can be used to control power to a
light, an alarm or other external device. When the system is not faulted terminal 16 (RELAY2 – NO) will be open
and terminal 17 (RELAY 2 – NC) will be connected to terminal 18 (RELAY2 – COM). When the system is faulted
terminal 16 (RELAY2 – NO) will be connected to terminal 18 (RELAY2 – COM) and terminal 17 (RELAY 2 – NC)
will be open. The relay rating is 250Vac, 5 amps maximum.
