Our Parabola® variable frequency drive (VFD) control panels are advanced pre-engineered simplex, duplex, and triplex control panels with a user-friendly HMI control interface and are designed for level, constant pressure, commercial pressure boosting applications. These control panels are also equipped with our Pacific 2.0 software, which provides extensive system customization options and easy user guide tools with step-by-step instructions for the adjustable fields. Our pre-engineered Parabola® control panels are UL listed for the United States and Canada, and they come standard with a two-year limited manufacturer’s warranty.
Features

HMI Navigation
The Parabola® features a comprehensive HMI touchscreen device with our Pacific 2.0 software that allows for complete monitoring of tank level status, alarm/fault history, and pump run data.
Overview
The HMI’s main menu displays live pump data and H.O.A. switch(es). This menu is your command center.
Setup
You can easily setup the Parabola’s Pump On, Pump Off, High, and Low levels - all with the touch of a button!
Pump Status
Status of all processes. You can view Pump Fault, Run Time, and other necessary information associated with the pump operation.
Alarm/Fault History
Data logging gives you access to up to 250 conditions with date and time.
