Which Smart Panel Do I Need?
Choosing the right Smart Panel depends on your pump type, power rating, and control requirements. Taro Smart Panels are designed to work seamlessly with a wide range of three-phase submersible and monoblock pumps from 1 HP to 7.5 HP.
Whether your pump is installed in a domestic, agricultural, or commercial setting, the same Smart Panel variant supports them all thanks to the flexible power selection feature that allows you to set the correct HP range during installation.
For example:
- If you have a 1 HP Pump – set the panel power rating to 1 HP
- For a 5 HP Pump – set the panel power rating to 5 HP
- If you have a 5 HP Pump – set the panel power rating to 7.5 HP
Smart Panel comes with built-in protection, an OLED display, sensor compatibility, and remote control via the Taro Connect App or SMS (GSM/Wi-Fi enabled).
To choose the correct setting, simply match your pump's HP rating during setup. Once configured through the panel’s service menu, the system automatically applies the appropriate safety thresholds and control logic based on the selected capacity.
For assistance with setup or pump compatibility, contact your nearest Taro Pumps dealer or refer to the Owner’s Manual.
