Mobile Starter for Submersible Pumps
A BTCO mobile starter, also called a GSM mobile starter or mobile motor starter, is a fully automatic starter with the BTCO 4G GSM module added. You switch your borewell motor on and off from your phone, from anywhere, by the free BTCO app or by SMS. The starter protects the motor on dry run, overload, single phasing and voltage fluctuation to stop your motor from burning, and your phone shows why it tripped.

How a BTCO Mobile Starter Works
- 1. Pick the starter for your motor. Every BTCO starter works with mobile control: DOL, star delta, juice line (Combined) and single phase. Find the right starter if you are not sure.
- 2. Add the 4G GSM module. It needs a SIM with a working data pack, and an SMS pack for activation. Your dealer connects it to the starter and gets it activated for your phone number.
- 3. Run the motor from your phone. Use the free BTCO app. If the SIM also has an SMS pack, you can operate it by SMS too.

A Mobile Starter That Also Stops Motor Burning
Switching the motor on from far away is only safe if the starter protects it. Every BTCO starter switches the motor off on dry run, overload, single phasing and voltage fluctuation, the main reasons submersible motors burn. With the GSM module, the trip reason reaches your phone, so you know what happened without walking to the pump.

Mobile Starter Questions
What is a mobile starter?
It is a motor starter you can control from a mobile phone. With BTCO, it is any BTCO fully automatic starter with the 4G GSM module attached. You can switch the motor on and off and see why it tripped, from the BTCO app or by SMS.
What is a GSM motor controller?
A GSM motor controller is a unit with a SIM card that lets you run a pump motor from a mobile phone. People also call it a GSM mobile starter, mobile motor controller or mobile auto switch. The BTCO GSM module is one, made to work with BTCO starters.
Which motors can I use it with?
Every BTCO starter works with the GSM module: 3 phase DOL and star delta starters, juice line (Combined) starters and the single phase starter. Find the right starter for your motor first, then add the module.
Is there a mobile starter for a single phase motor?
Yes. The BTCO single phase starter (2 to 5 HP) becomes a mobile starter when the GSM module is attached. Your dealer fits it.
Which SIM does the mobile starter need?
A micro SIM with a working data pack and an SMS pack. The SMS pack is needed for activation. After that, the data pack is enough to use the BTCO app; keep the SMS pack if you also want to operate the starter by SMS.
Does it work by missed call?
No. A BTCO mobile starter is controlled by the BTCO app or by SMS.
Can I add the module to a BTCO starter I already have?
Yes for BTCO starters bought from January 2024 onwards. If your starter is older, please check with BTCO or your dealer before buying the module.
What is the price of a mobile starter for a 3 phase motor?
Prices are not shown online. Please call BTCO or ask your nearest dealer for the price of the starter and the GSM module for your motor.
