HiControl 1-EK control unit 4190895

Intelligent pump control – HiControl 1-EK

The HiControl 1-EK is an electronic pump control system designed to automatically switch pumps on and off based on pressure and flow. It protects the pump from running dry and ensures optimal resource utilization. This solution is ideal for both installers looking for a reliable and easy-to-install system, and end-users who value convenience and maintenance-free operation.

Functionality and application

HiControl 1-EK monitors the pressure in the installation and starts the pump when it falls below the set threshold. It switches it off when the flow drops to a minimum level, preventing damage resulting from dry running. The device is particularly useful in water supply systems, garden irrigation systems, and booster sets with surface or submersible pumps. The compact design allows mounting directly on the pump or on the wall. The EK version is equipped with a 2.5-meter power cable with a plug, which significantly reduces installation time.

Key advantages

• Pump protection: Dry-run protection extends pump life and minimizes the risk of failure.
• Automatic operation: Maintains constant pressure in the installation without the need to manually switch the pump on and off.
• Easy installation: The EK version with a power cable facilitates and speeds up installation.
• Compact design: Allows installation in limited space.
• High reliability: The electronic system signals any problems with the device's operation.
