Electrical

All electrical work associated with the F60 

must  be  carried  out  by  qualified  electrical 

personnel and all electrical work must 

conform to AS/NZ standards and to local 

wiring rules. For mains voltage applications 

we recommend the supply to the F60 be 

isolated by an RCD that has a maximum trip 

current of 30mA. 

WARNING

Introduction

The F60 is designed to directly control single-phase pump motors to 2.4kW. No 

interposing contactor is required for such applications.  If a supply neutral is 

available the controller can also be used to control 3 phase pump motors via an 

appropriate interposing contactor.

The F60 requires a 220V to 240V AC 50Hz supply when operated from the mains.  

It can also be operated from an 18 to 24V AC or DC supply by utilising the low 

voltage active terminal LV and common neutral terminal N (see the included wiring 

diagrams).  When operated from a low voltage DC supply the terminals LV and 

neutral N are not polarity sensitive. The controller requires a stable supply voltage 

in order to operate correctly.  Pay particular attention to cable sizes, and ensure 

cables are adequate for the specific pump motor load.  

This is particularly important where long cable runs are to be used in the installation.  

If the voltage drop associated with the starting of the pump motor is excessive the 

F60 will automatically reset and this may cause the pump to jog.  Jogging can 

snap the main spindle of a pump very easily, so please take all precautions to 

ensure the voltage supply to the F60 is stable and that the current carrying 

capacity of the cable is adequate for the job.
