Always use caution when
operating electrical controls in damp areas. If possible,
avoid all contact with electrical equipment during
thunderstorms or extreme damp conditions.
!
Install all electrical equipment
in protected area to prevent mechanical damage
which could produce serious electrical shock and/
or equipment failure.
DO NOT use this system to pump
flammable liquids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene,
etc. Failure to follow the above warning could result
in property damage and/or personal injury.
!
This product contains chemicals known
to the State of California to cause
cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
Do not pump water above 140 degrees
Fahrenheit.
!
This unit not tested for use
in swimming pool areas.
how it Works
SySteM DIAGnOStIcS
In addition to regulating system pressure and accurately
controlling motor operation, the Artesian Drive continuously
scans the system and can detect a variety of abnormal
conditions. If there is elevated risk of damage to a part of
the system, the drive will protect the system and display a
code for the fault. If possible, the drive will try to restart itself
when the fault condition passes.
PuMP SIzInG – ArteSIAn DrIve (centrIfuGAl)
The Artesian Drive is configured at the factory for use with
standard 3-phase motors and pumps.
NOTE: The Artesian Drives are factory programmed to
F&W pumps to provide optimum performance and motor
protection. The Artesian Drive can be used with other
pumps, but the maximum motor amperage needs to be
compared to the factory programmed current value (refer
to the Specifications section under the appropriate model).
If the maximum motor current varies more than 5% from
the programmed value, the motor current value in the drive
needs to be changed for motor protection and optimum
performance. For details on how to change this value in the
drive, please contact Technical Support at 1-800-345-9422.
!
The motor rated current must be set
correctly to avoid a risk of fire in the
event of a motor overload.
DrIve cOnfIGurAtIOn
When sized correctly, the Artesian Drive systems are ready
to go right out of the box and need no configuration.
Under certain circumstances there are several programming
parameters that can be changed to accommodate non
standard systems. For further information to change these
parameters, please call Technical Support at 1-800-345-9422
!
Serious or fatal electrical shock may result
from contact with internal electrical components. DO NOT,
under any circumstances, attempt to modify connections to
the drive until power has been removed and 10 minutes have
passed for internal voltages to discharge!
unDerlOAD SenSItIvIty
The Artesian Drive controller is configured at the factory
to ensure detection of Underload faults in a wide variety
of pumping applications including dead head and run dry
conditions. In very rare cases (as with certain pumps in
shallow wells) this trip level may result in nuisance faults. If
the pump is installed in a shallow well, activate the controller
and observe system behavior. Once the controller begins to
regulate pressure, check operation at several flow rates to
make sure the default sensitivity does not induce nuisance
Underload trips. If it becomes necessary to desensitize the
Underload trip level, please call of Technical Support at 1-800-
345-9422 for further details.

Serious or fatal electrical shock may result
from contact with internal electrical components. DO NOT,
under any circumstances, attempt to modify connections to
the drive until power has been removed and 10 minutes have
passed for internal voltages to discharge!
Before Getting Started
!
Serious or fatal electrical shock may result
from failure to connect the ground terminal to the motor,
Artesian Drive controller, metal plumbing, or other metal
near the motor or cable, using wire no smaller than motor
cable wires. To minimize risk of electrical shock, disconnect
power before working on or around the Artesian Drive
system. CAPACITORS INSIDE THE ARTESIAN DRIVE CONTROLLER
CAN STILL HOLD LETHAL VOLTAGE EVEN AFTER POWER HAS
BEEN DISCONNECTED. ALLOW 10 MINUTES FOR DANGEROUS
INTERNAL VOLTAGE TO DISCHARGE BEFORE REMOVING
ARTESIAN DRIVE COVER.
!
Do not use motor or system in swimming
areas.
IMPORTANT: This equipment should be installed by technically
qualified personnel. Failure to install it in compliance
with national and local electrical codes and within F&W
recommendations may result in electrical shock hazard, fire
hazard, unsatisfactory performance, or equipment failure.
Installation information is available directly from F&W at our
toll-free number 1-800-345-9422.
Use Artesian Drive only with properly sized
three phase motors. Use of this unit with improperly sized
motors may result in damage to both motor and electronics.
controller location Selection
!
The drive’s enclosure is NEMA 1 rated
and is intended for indoor use only. It
should be mounted in a location that provides protection
from water spray/drips and only be accessed by trained and
authorized personnel.
The Artesian Drive controller is intended for operation in
ambient temperatures up to 104°F (40°C) at 230 VAC input.
Installation Guidance and Instructions
InItIAl cOnDItIOnS AnD PrecAutIOnS
1. The Pump Station should be installed on flat surface rated
for the weight of the pump station. A properly sized
concrete slab is recommended.
2. Installation should be performed by licensed or qualified
personnel.
