Pump Station Control Panels & Alarms support is handled around the actual pump station arrangement: chamber type, pumped material, pump duty, controls, alarms, valves, rising main, access, ground conditions and whether the work is repair, servicing, refurbishment, replacement or new installation.
Control panels are the brain of the pump station
A pump station can have good pumps and still fail if the control system is unreliable. Float switches, level sensors, overloads, contactors, starters, alarms, telemetry and duty/standby sequencing all affect reliability.
Common panel and alarm problems
Typical issues include high level alarms not warning anyone, pumps failing to alternate, floats becoming tangled or fouled, overloads tripping, failed contactors, corroded enclosures, poor labelling and panels that do not match the current pump arrangement.
- High level alarm faults
- Float switch failures
- Pump overload trips
- Duty/standby control issues
- Panel replacement or upgrade
- Remote alarm and telemetry advice
Upgrading controls during refurbishment
When a pump station is refurbished, it is often sensible to review the control panel and alarm arrangement at the same time. A new pump with an old unreliable panel can leave the site exposed to repeat faults.
