Integrated DE Controls (Sensorless) vs Wall-Mounted Drives
Wall Mounted Drives Integrated Controls
Cost of Sensor, Installation, wiring costs can go upto $2,000! Sensorless Capability requires no special installation or wiring
saving on First Installed Costs

Additional power wiring from VFD to motor is required. No Additional power wiring is required as the controls are integrated
with the pumping unit.

Wall-mounted drives often do not include RFI filters and must In built RFI filters in compliance to low emission and immunity

When distance between VFD & Motor is lengthy, long No risk due to long standing wave since controls are mounted on the

It is often not possible to mount wall drives in the optimum Minimized risk of reflected wave voltage since controls are mounted

increased due to longer distances.
Do not have Energy metering capabilities Design Envelope pumps incorporate the ability to record and
cumulate pumping unit energy consumption.
Requires wall space Using Design Envelope pumps with integrated controls means
valuable wall real estate is not used. Equipment can be positioned
closer to the mechanical room perimeter because the walls are kept
clear.

Ease of Maintenance; End-Suction vs Armstrong 4200H
Armstrong VIL pumps reduce seal change time of over 3-4 hours typical to under half an hour.
Conventional End-Suction pumps require piping disconnection, lifting equipment and extra labor.
Armstrong 4200H End Suction pump’s mechanical seal can be accessed without disturbing the piping or the motor.
