Pumptron is an Australian designed and manufactured state of the art electronic device for the protection and control  of Submersible water pumps or any other applicable pump installation. Pumptron is the product of a research and development program (R&D) that lasted for more than six years of investigation in the field. It is a simple, cost effective protection and control unit that does away with the need for flow switches or pressure switches or probes immersed into the well or bore, which are expensive to install and tend to be unreliable.

Pumptron protects and control all known brands of submersible pumps.

 

Easy to install

Ø      Connect mains power to the input.

Ø      and controlled power from the output to the pump.

Ø      No probes into the bore or flow or pressure switches are required.

Easy to adjust

A little screw is turned clockwise until a green light turns ON indicating the pump is detected and protected.

DETECTIONS

ü      Water in the bore.

ü      No water in the bore.

ü      Storage tank full (detecting switch required)

ü      Storage tank low or empty (detecting switch required)

ü      Iron oxide build-up.

ü      Water sediments build-up.

ü      Limit of lifting power versus depth.

ü      Mains surges.

ü      A phase drops out.*

ü      Repetitive starts caused by pressure switch

ü      Obstruction of water flow

ü      Starting peak current.

PROTECTION AND CONTROL

Interrupts power if:

  • The bore runs out of water.

  • Iron oxide or sediments are overloading the pump.

  • Storage tank is full.

  • Mains voltage is too high or too low.

  • The pump reaches its maximum lifting capacity to pump water according to depth.

  • Any of the phases drop  out (3 phase units)

  • The motor electrically leaks to ground.

  • Any mechanical abnormality alters the normal operation.

  • Starting current has increased.

The pump starts automatically:

  • After the water recovery timer lapses.

  • After a power blackout.

  • When a dropped out phase restores.*

  • When the storage tank level lowers.

Other

  • The pump starts instantly on power up, however it will stop immediately if any abnormality is detected.

  • Avoids unnecessary stops and starts due to power surges. This extends the pump’s life.

INDICATIONS by means of L.E.D. Lights

Red light ON = Power ON

Small Flashing red light = System Standby - Overload

Yellow light ON = Pump 10 seconds priming

Small Orange light ON* = Tank Full

Green light ON = Pump under Protected Operation

Small Green light ON* = Bore Water Recovery timer ON

 

* New 3 phase model.

                                      

MODELS:

1PH - for Single phase pumps.

1PH-SS - soft start for Single phase pumps (New technology)

3PH - for Three phase pumps.

 

           INSTALLATION:     

Installation is simple. Power from the main is connected to Pumptron’s input. The output is connected to the pump. Pumptron can be installed next to the bore or far away… even kilometres if necessary!

 

          OPERATION:

Once the pump is started it will run continuously until water is no longer available. Pumptron senses this and stops the pump. Pumptron’s timer then starts to measure a pre selected time period (set according to the bore water productivity) to allow the bore to refill. This recovery time can be set between 3 minutes and 24 hours.

When the selected recovery time lapses, the pump turns ON automatically and runs until the water is exhausted again. If water is still not present after the pre-set recovery time has elapsed Pumptron will start and stop the pump after ten seconds. This “wait for recovery time/try to pump” sequence will repeat until water is present.

The pump is automatically controlled and protected in this manner until Pumptron is switched OFF manually using the ON/OFF switch on the front panel.

                                            

If the pump overloads for any reason, Pumptron will immediately remove power. A flashing red warning light indicates that an overload exists and the system is halted. Pressing the Start/Reset button, or at the water recovery time lapse, Pumptron will check; if the overload condition is still present, the system will instantly return to the Stand By condition and the warning light continues to flash. Request for service as there may be mud or other agents causing the overload. On the other hand if the overload condition has disappeared, normal operation is resumed.

 

FLOAT SWITCH: When a pump is used to fill a tank or a dam, a plug (connector supplied) is available to connect to a float switch or any external switching device. While Pumptron will maintain its operation of control and protection, the switch indicates when the tank or dam has reached the desired level and the unit stops. When the water level drops and the switch turns ON the pump starts again. The system remains absolutely automatic and unattended.

 

          TECHNICAL - UNIQUE FEATURES:                          

100% SOLID STATE…

Pumptron does NOT use phase shift detection so it is very stable and impervious to voltage fluctuations.

 

Switching ON and OFF is done using semiconductors.

 

Switching is done at the ZERO voltage cross over point of the AC. Pumptron detects when the AC sine wave is at zero volts and trigger the switching thyristors only at that point of time. This results in shock free switching thus providing protection to starter capacitors (condensers) and to the system itself.

Infrared light beams are used in the switching process. This provides high isolation between the low voltage electronics and the mains, making Pumptron very safe to use.
