PRODUCT INFORMATION
Description
The Franklin Electric SubDrive Connect and MonoDrive Connect product families include variable
frequency drives (VFD) designed to control and protect 3-wire, single- or three-phase motors,
enhancing pump performance for residential and light commercial water system applications.
When used with Franklin Electric motors, the SubDrive/MonoDrive
drives a motor and pump at variable speeds to maintain constant
water pressure, even as user demands (water flow) change.
The SubDrive Connect series provides the capability to use a three-
phase motor with single-phase incoming power, which adds new effi
-
ciency and quiet performance to rural homes and businesses.
The MonoDrive Connect series allows conversion of an existing 3-wire
system to constant pressure control.
Features
Configuration
• Compatible with submersible and surface pumps and motors
• Three-phase operation allows enhanced water delivery perfor-
mance using a smaller pump with a standard rated motor
• No programming required with easy DIP switch setup

Operation
• Easy-to-read LCD display for system status identification
• User-defined motor frequency range
• Auxiliary control input allows for additional external control
• Run and alarm relays provide switching for external monitors or systems
• Active Power Factor Correction (PFC) reduces average current used by the drive
• Advanced filtering to remove radio frequency interference
Protection
• Protection against short circuit, under-load, overheat, under-voltage, surges, open circuit
• Broken-pipe detection
• User-defined under-load sensitivity and off time
• Ground Fault Protection for motor output
• Moisture Sensor input stops pump when water is detected
• Soft-start feature prevents water hammer and increases motor life
Communication
• The FE Connect mobile app can be used to adjust advanced settings, monitor drive character-
istics, and view fault history
