Pulsar - Model Quantum 3 - Superior Pumping Station Controller
Quantum 3 is a fully-featured pump controller, using Pulsar's unique non-contacting ultrasonic technology including DATEM digital echo discrimination to provide sophisticated level management. Quantum 3 can be programmed to provide an alarm based on the time remaining before the station or well spills over. Vital for utilities who face the risk of prosecution if a station pollutes the local environment. Quantum 3 adds the ability to interface with up to four Flow Pulse non-invasive flow monitors, so all flow-rate based alarms and control is based on measured rather than calculated flow.
Features
- Can assign a Flow Pulse to either a pump, a main outlet or stand-alone measurement
- 24VDC output supply capable of supplying 4 Flow Pulse units
- 'Burst and Block' now based on real flow
- Auxiliary display can now cycle through each Flow Pulse and display real flow
- Totaliser sums real throughput rather than deriving from level measurement
- Has universal power supply input of 22-28 VDC and 85-264 Vac
- Storm detection alarm
- NRV leakage alarm
- Time to spill calculation
- Automatically resets tripped pumps
- Easy prompt led set up
- RS485 Modbus and Profibus DP V0 and V1 options
- Pump efficiency alarm function
- Peak power tariff avoidance
Applications
- Pump Control
- Time to spill warning requirements
- Reduction in power cost requirements
- Pump monitoring and control
- Water and waste water
