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.
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.
