Pentair Pentek
The features of the Pentair Pentek Solar Drive controller are shown in Figure 6. The unit
has five wire glands: solar PV and AC source inputs, one motor output, and two glands for
the external sensors. Further details about wiring the unit are provided on page 10.
Four LEDs are used to indicate the Pentair Pentek Solar Drive controller's operation (more
details provided on page 15). On the bottom left, just next to the external sensors glands,
there is a motor ON/OFF switch that controls the Pentair Pentek Solar Drive's operation of
the motor.
Once the door of the enclosure is removed, there is access to the input terminal blocks (DIN
rail mounts). Below the DIN rail is a grounding block for connecting the equipment ground.
The installer should only use the DIN rail terminals for connecting all external wires to
the Pentair Pentek Solar Drive unit.
