The Aquaworx IPC Panel provides an innovative approach to pump control. Designed specifically for the onsite industry, the IPC Panel leverages simple pressure transducer technology for the enhancement of pump system performance, and ease of installation. Relying on an embedded microprocessor in the pump controller and a floatless pressure transducer in the pump chamber, the IPC Panel monitors liquid levels, controls pumping time intervals, and logs events in real time. Using the MARC as the user interface, the Aquaworx IPC Panel offers a cost-effective solution with expanded capability.
The data logging capabilities of the IPC Panel enable monitoring of multiple types of system events, enhancing operational assessment, troubleshooting, and maintenance of the system. The IPC Panel utilizes the MARC to collect system data and transfer it to PC-based applications using an SD card.
Competitive Advantages:
-
Simplified wiring for easy installation
-
Unique user interface with the Mountable and Removable Controller (MARC)
-
Data logging provides easy access to historical data
-
Accurate timing eliminates need for stopwatch
-
Liquid level displayed for draw-downs means no tape measure required
-
Veto level override function allows different timing at different loads
Pressure Transducer Technology Benefits
Currently, systems with floats, timers and motor contactors are used to control most timed septic pump systems. The Aquaworx Transducer Assembly connects to the panel with only a 3-wire cable, making it easier to wire and more cost effective than a float system. With most mechanical systems, floats trigger the timer and alarms at specific liquid levels. For each level, a function and float are required, and typically 3 to 5 floats are installed. Aquaworx incorporates a Transducer Assembly that continuously updates the liquid level to the MARC. A single transducer is all that is required for multiple functions and it provides all data the controller needs to perform system functions and more. The transducers durable construction protects it from corrosion and harsh environments, allowing for a long and reliable life.
MARC Benefits
The Aquaworx Intelligent Pump Control (IPC) Panels can be operated using the Mountable and Removable Controller (MARC). The MARC is a unique user interface that operates using simple terminology. It includes a SD memory card slot so users can capture and download system events and settings onto a removable card. The MARC is portable and can be removed by installers and service providers for use on multiple IPC Panels. With the MARC removed, each panel is then protected from being tampered with by unauthorized users. The MARC also allows users the flexibility to program a panel to address specific design requirements of most any system.
Data Logging Benefits
The IPC Panel series records each event with a date and time stamp, the liquid level at the time of the event and event type. The IPC Panel system will store up to 4,000 events. Events include functions like doses, power cycles, manual run, and alarm events. System data provides the ability to calculate actual system flow quantities on a daily basis. The data allows the installer or service provider to determine whether the system has been operated manually, how often the system alarm has sounded, and how long the system has been experiencing problems. The ability to use historical data is a distinct advantage when troubleshooting a system that is malfunctioning or has experienced an alarm condition.
Computer Timer Benefits
Using a microprocessor as the timing device provides reliable accuracy (± 1 second). Many pump IPC Panels on the market today use Programmable Logic Controllers (PLC), which can be cumbersome to program when compared to the MARC and the Aquaworx IPC Panel.
Solid-State Relay Technology Benefits
Solid-state relays have no moving parts and are therefore silent, as compared to motor contactors, which clunk each time they engage. Designed properly, a solid-state relay will have a greater life expectancy than a motor contactor. Aquaworx solid-state relays turn on at the zero crossing point. This offers a comparatively smooth transition to power up the pump, extending its life.
