Series Overview
Key specifications shared across the FBME series.
The water-level probe provides millimeter-level start sensing according to published data. Delayed stopping helps avoid frequent starts caused by water-level fluctuation, while the controller protects against abnormal voltage, overload, motor overtemperature and a locked impeller.
Model Range
Compare hydraulic performance across all available power ratings.
FBME is a separate Contents item from FBM. The catalog stores both under the FBM series field, so this page includes only exact FBME records.

Published data shows 37.7 ft maximum head for FBME480 and 15 m / 16 m for FBME800 at 50 / 60 Hz. Current records publish 11.5 m at 50 Hz and 11.3 m at 60 Hz for FBME480, plus 15.3 m at 50 Hz and 16.3 m at 60 Hz for FBME800. Confirm the approved frequency curve before quotation.
Construction & materials
Level probe and controller above a cooled drainage wet end.
Published data specifies a ductile-iron impeller and steel outer casing. Current catalog records describe a grey-cast-iron impeller and NBR pump housing. Confirm the supplied wet-end construction before quotation.

FBME FAQ
Intelligent control and source boundaries.
What makes FBME different from FBM?
FBME adds a built-in intelligent controller and a water-level electric probe to the portable drainage-pump platform. Published data lists FBME as a separate Contents item on pages 13-14.
How does FBME automatic level control work?
Published data states that the pump stops within 60 seconds after water falls below the probe and starts when water reaches it. The probe height can be adjusted for the required start level.
Which protection functions are stated?
Published data states automatic stopping for abnormal voltage, overload and motor overtemperature, five-minute recovery after voltage or overload events, and immediate stopping if the impeller locks.
What operating information can the controller show?
Published data says the display panel can be used to check cumulative operating time and the latest five fault records.
How many current FBME configurations are published?
The current English catalog contains two exact codes, FBME480 and FBME800. Each has one 50 Hz and one 60 Hz record, producing four records.
Why are performance and material differences disclosed?
The current catalog differs from published data on some maximum-head values and material descriptions. Confirm the approved curve and supplied construction before quotation.
