NIST UNO Panel Complete Starter & Protection, Universal (1 Phase 230V, up to 2.2kW)

The NIST UNO Panel is a complete control box for a single-phase (230V) borehole or surface pump: starter and NIST Motorscope protection in one weatherproof box. The Universal panel works with any brand of motor.

• Water or resin-filled motors: the panel has a starting relay; the motor’s own capacitors are used
• Oil-filled motors: no capacitors and no starting relay needed

Want the capacitors matched and built in for your exact motor brand? Choose the UNO Panel built for your motor brand instead.

What it protects against

• Stops the pump if it runs dry (under-load) and restarts it after a recovery time you set (4 minutes to 16 hours), so the borehole can fill up again
• Stops the pump if it jams or is overloaded
• Stops the pump on high or low voltage (load shedding spikes, weak supply)
• Built-in WiFi and Bluetooth: watch volts, amps and power, and start or stop the pump from your phone with the free NCS Toolbox app
• Remembers the last 100 trips with date and time, so you can see what went wrong
• Timers: 8 weekly on/off timers and a start-up sequencer

Note: it does not protect against lightning; fit surge protection as well.

1A–8A or 8A–20A?

Look at the amps (A) on your motor nameplate or in the pump manual. Up to 8A choose 1A to 8A (usually motors up to about 1.1kW); above 8A choose 8A to 20A (usually 1.1kW to 2.2kW).

Water-filled or oil-filled motor?

Most borehole motors are water-filled (some are resin-filled; choose water for those). Oil-filled motors usually say “oil” on the nameplate or in the brand name. Not sure? Send us a photo of the nameplate.
