Description
M131 controller – intelligent controller for three-phase pumps
The IBO M131 controller is a professional, electronic controller designed to control the operation of a single three-phase pump and its comprehensive protection. It automates switching the pump on and off depending on the water level or pressure, and at the same time constantly monitors the power supply and engine operating parameters. It is distinguished by effective protection against dry running, which works even without installing probes in the well, thanks to which the installation remains simple and the pump is permanently protected.
For whom
- Installers and electricians - the M131 controller organizes the connection of a three-phase pump and simplifies the selection of protection thanks to calibration tailored to a specific motor.
- Owners of houses and farms with intake from a well - the controller automates the water supply and protects the pump against costly failures.
- Agricultural and horticultural farms - the device supervises the operation of the pump for irrigation of fields, greenhouses and gardens, as well as for rainwater management.
- Facilities with pumping stations and tanks - the controller turns the pump on and off according to the level or pressure, and uses an overflow probe to warn about tank overflow.
Application
The M131 controller is suitable wherever a single three-phase pump is to operate automatically and reliably. It works with submersible pumps when supplying water from wells, with surface pumps in water supply installations and with submersible pumps in tanks, septic tanks and drainage systems. The switch-on and switch-off signal comes from level probes, floats or a pressure switch cooperating with the hydrophore tank, which allows it to be adapted to very different configurations.
The device controls the pump depending on the water level in the tank from which it is pumping, the level in the target tank or the pressure in the system, and in the drainage mode it additionally signals overflow. It is used in houses, apartments, summer houses, farms and industrial installations.
Features of the M131 controller
The heart of the device is an electronic system with a clear LCD display that constantly shows the pump operating status, parameters and fault messages. M131 uses double protection against dry running - it analyzes the signal from the probes or float and the current consumption of the operating pump. Importantly, protection against dry running also works without installing probes in the well itself: after bridging the appropriate inputs, the controller recognizes dry running based on the current consumption and stops the pump in time. After a fault occurs, the device automatically checks the conditions and resumes operation only when the irregularities disappear.
The controller supports automatic and manual modes, and the built-in function switch allows you to select the operating scheme for the installation float switch, probes or pressure switch. As three-phase equipment, M131 should be connected by a qualified installer, in accordance with the instructions and applicable regulations. The most important parameters are summarized below. Data differentiating the two power variants are given after a slash.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – M131 controller
What is the M131 controller used for?
The M131 controller is an intelligent controller for automatic control of the operation of one three-phase pump and its protection. It turns the pump on and off depending on the water level or pressure in the installation and protects it against dry running and power supply irregularities.
What pumps can be connected to the M131 controller?
M131 works with three-phase deep-well, surface and submersible pumps with a power supply of 3 ~ 400 V. It is available in two variants of pump power: 0.75-4 kW and 5.5-7.5 kW, which allows it to be selected for various installations.
Does M131 protect the pump against dry running without installing probes in the well?
Yes. The M131 can detect dry running by analyzing the pump's current consumption, so effective protection also works when installing probes in the well is difficult or expensive. When dry running is detected, the pump is stopped and the controller tries to start again after the problem disappears.
What is the difference between the M131 controller and the M121 model?
M121 is designed for single-phase pumps powered by 230 V, while M131 supports three-phase 400 V pumps and additionally protects them against phase failure. The full range of controllers can be found in the category drivers.
Can the M131 controller be mounted outside the building?
M131 has an IP22 protection rating and is intended for indoor installation, in a vertical position, in a dry and well-ventilated place. The device must be protected against water, including atmospheric water, therefore, when the pump is operating outdoors, the controller itself is placed indoors or in an appropriate, protected housing.
Where to buy the M131 controller?
As a manufacturer, we do not sell directly. The IBO M131 controller can be purchased from our trading partners, installation wholesalers and authorized online distributors.
What is the warranty for the M131 controller?
IBO – 24 months (2 years) manufacturer's warranty.
