PENTAIR PENTEK
The Pentair Pentek Solar Drive controller consists of several components, as shown in Figure
5. The unit has five wire glands: one large gland for a motor cable (middle), two glands for solar
PV arrays (right side), and two glands for data cables (left side), a float switch sensor or other
optional sensor. There is direct access to the power and signal terminals on the DIN rail once the
enclosure door is removed.
The Pentair Pentek Solar Drive controller should be mounted on a wall or other vertical surface
using the back bracket (see Figure 5 below). On the back side of the unit there are two set screws
used to hang the unit on the back bracket. More detailed mounting instructions are shown below.
