Hi allso I have a pumping project using a grundfos SQ Flex pumpIt
will operate on the grid when grid is present and then switch back to solar
ready if the grid power should fail.here is the set up...

Kirpal,
Although I can't answer your IO101 question, I can tell you that the
SQ Flex operates nicely for us
when used with a pressure tank/ pressure switch. As long as the pump
and PV power source are
sized to accommodate the additional vertical lift caused by
Kirpal,
I have several of these units operating with pressure tanks with no problems
there. Glad to see the pressure swich being used as disconnect. We have had
multiple installs where the CU200 command to stop pumping was ignored by the
pump and pressure relief protection saved the day. The DC
Kirpal,
I believe that the IO101 is only designed to accept 120VAC, not 240.
The supplied AC pigtail is 15A 120V, and it uses a contactor, which
would be a specific voltage only. Unless I'm mistaken, you don't
want to supply 220 (240) VAC.
I don't have answers

Allan.According to the IO101 literature it is rated at upto
265VAC..however in all its wiring drawings it only shows one hot, one
neutral and a ground!?? I am puzzled.?

I have never tried to feed 240V to an IO101, so I don't know the

Kirpal,
Neither the SQFlex pump nor its accessories are UL listed. That can
lead to some serious difficulties with the AHJ. Fortunately the pump
can operate without any of the accessories -- neither the IO101 nor the
CU200 is required. Murray, Siemens, Square D, and others make 250-Vdc

Kirpal,
If you use 18/2 shielded tray cable (with all the proper insulation
ratings of course) you can
run that for thousands of feet. 700' is about our average run on the
majority of our pump
systems and it works well for us.

Hi All.I can't find it in any of the manuals for grundfos.does anyone
know if the wiring to the float switch carries current or not. The float

has 3 #14AWG wires...I need to add about 700 feet of wire from the CU 200
Hiya Kirpal,
They are just signal wires from the CU200.

Kirpal,
For the occasional odd high-current DC contactor, I like MDI. They made
the mercury displacement contactors used years ago in the Ananda/APT
Powercenters. Check out http://www.mdius.com/relays.php#High_Voltage to
see if they have anything you can use.

Mark,
Your message gave me pause, as I just last week specified this setup,
so I checked into it with our Grundfos rep. He said he had never heard
anything recommending against the flex in a pressure system. He said
the SQF doesn't know the difference between 40 psi and 100' of head. At

I did this about 5 years ago, on an array-direct irrigation pump with
the ability for the client to run a generator when needed. Yes, it's
all automatic, and no additional relay is needed. When the IO101 senses
AC it automatically closes a contactor - AC coil, NO is the AC, NC is

Kirpal,
None of the SQFlex equipment is UL listed. You may find that your AHJ
won't approve any of the SQFlex controls and possibly not even the pump.
