Transducer control panel

Transducer control panels from Alderon Industries pump and monitor liquid from onsite systems. They can accommodate multiple pumping ranges of up to 20 feet. Tank level is displayed at the control panel, and switches on the panel allow an installer to set the desired alarm level in the field.

Audible and visible alarms, HOA switches and indicator lights for pump run and system power are provided. Auxiliary contacts to connect remote alarms, auto dialers or other devices are standard. The transducer is made of heavy-duty PVC and operates on water pressure. There are no moving parts, and temperature does not affect the unit’s operation. 218/483-3034; www.alderonind.com.

Tank level display

The Level Monitor CL system from SJE-Rhombus includes a scalable LED bar graph to display the level in a tank as a percentage of capacity. A touchpad can be used to set the level at which an alarm is triggered. As the tank level reaches the installer-specified set point, an audible alarm is activated. The system can be calibrated for depths from 12 to 40 inches and uses a floatless C-Level sensor for monitoring of tanks up to 300 feet away. 888/342-5753; www.sjerhombus.com.

High-visibility alarm

The AlarmBot from CSI Controls includes a clear beacon and four red flashing LEDs for maximum visibility. When the tank level activates the high-water alarm float, the clear beacon illuminates 360 degrees and is supplemented by four alternating high-intensity red flashing LEDs and a 95-decibel beep tone. The 12V alarm system can be separated from the pump power supply. A universal plug allows installation on any piggyback plug. 800/363-5842; www.csicontrols.com.

Three-way pump control

The JJ1HOA pump control from Septronics allows immediate specific control of pump function and has a separate audiovisual alarm in the same junction box. The HOA toggle switch mounted on its own terminal board allows users to turn the pump completely off or have it run automatically. A fused alarm is wired into a separate terminal board. The system comes fully assembled and includes an alarm float switch, riser attachment and cord seals. 262/567-9030; www.septronicsinc.com.

Wireless monitoring

The Polylok Wireless Alarm is available as a tank alarm model PL-WTA and a wireless filter alarm model PL-WSA. The systems include a battery-operated wireless transmitter that is placed in the tank. When high water triggers the alarm, the transmitter (with a range up to 1,500 feet) signals the indoor alarm. The alarm is powered by a lithium battery that lasts two years. 888/765-9565; www.polylok.com.

Water level and blower alarm

The Fusion series alarm panel from Clarus Environmental sounds an alarm in the event of high water or a malfunctioning diaphragm blower on Fusion treatment units. The high-water alarm operates off of a single variable-level control switch. The blower is monitored through two pressure sensors and a timer. The panel comes with a red alarm beacon, alarm horn, circuit breaker protection for the blower, a test/normal/silence switch, and disinfection alarm contacts. 877/244-9340; www.clarusenvironmental.com.

Sump pump switch

Electronic sump pump switches from LevelGuard Fluid Control Products replace mechanical contact floats with a solid-state system. The switches are designed with two field-effect electronic sensors that are 6.7 inches apart and monitor the presence of fluids without direct fluid contact. Once both electronic sensors detect the presence of water, a solid-state switch sends power to the pump via a piggyback plug. The switches resist contaminant buildup, preventing false actuations, and eliminating the short-cycling that burns out pump motors. 877/342-3261; www.levelguard products.com.

Aerobic controls

The 80000 series aerobic control panel from Septic Products is designed for custom aerobic applications. The panels are engineered to control operation of up to three pump systems in simplex or duplex sequence. Pumps can be configured for timed dose, drip-type, custom programmable relay operation, and demand or spray applications. The system can control from one to six compressor units. A red alarm light signals high-water failures and an amber light signals compressor failures. 419/282-5933; www.septicproducts.com.

Comprehensive control system

The Model 2252 control panel from Ecological Tanks is a single-panel solution for overland dispersal aerobic wastewater treatment systems that require post-aeration, UV disinfection and remote alarm monitoring. It provides power and low air alarm monitoring for the treatment tank and post-aeration compressors. It uses dual air switches for floatless high-water alarm monitoring for both tanks. It has power and a dry-contact alarm input for the disinfection device. The panel has a built-in Model AVD-45B auto dialer with integrated keypad programming and voice message recording that will report the alarm to up to four phone numbers. 800/277-8179; www.etiaquasafe.com.

Weatherproof aeration timer

The P101-2 series of aeration timers from Septic Services is housed in a UL Type 4X weatherproof plastic enclosure with an external toggle switch that offers on/auto/off and continuous modes. The 20-amp-rated 24-hour timer has 96 on/off events that allow for 15-minute incremental settings. The P101FA-2 unit adds a 7-amp breaker and a warning light for use with aeration units requiring a smaller tripper breaker. 636/583-5564; www.septicserv.com.

Touchpad programming

IP-Series control panels from Liberty Pumps incorporate programmable pump features on the inner door. The compact floatless level sensor detects the liquid level in the tank and sends a signal to the IP panel, which displays the level in inches or centimeters. Pump activation and alarm levels can be adjusted using the panel touchpad, eliminating the need to go into the tank for manual adjustment. The sensor is backed up by a redundant alarm float included for extra security. 800/543-2550; www.libertypumps.com.

Aerator control

The Model 197 control panel from Jet Inc. monitors the operation of Jet treatment system aerators and additional components. It can monitor single or dual aeration systems with selectable high- and low-amperage monitor settings. The panels have dedicated alarm and control circuits with separate power circuits for aeration devices. In addition to the aerator control circuits, the panel contains three auxiliary 120V output circuits for external device control relays.

The panels include three low-voltage auxiliary input circuits selectable for N/O or N/C alarm inputs. An integrated pump power control relay is automatically disabled in an auxiliary device alarm condition. A signal array includes a power indicator LED and four additional equipment alarm indicator LEDs. The integrated alarm buzzer has an output for an optional remote-mounted audible alarm. An external reset switch and internal master reset switch are standard. The panel also has an alarm mode auto dialer and control interface, NEMA 4X enclosure, and primary circuit fuse. 800/321-6960; www.jetincorp.com.

Versatile control panel

The 4-in-1 MVP-S1/2DM control panel from Orenco supports numerous electrical configurations and dosing schedules in a single panel. It can be configured in the field for timed or demand dosing. The control circuit operates on 120V power, but the pump circuit is dual-rated for 120V or 240V. The control panel has a programmable logic unit with multiple timing intervals for changing flow conditions, as well as a built-in elapsed time meter and counter. The PLC also displays float position and has a float error indicator. The panel is compatible with many applications, from new installs to older panels needing replacement. 800/348-9843; www.orenco.com/controls.
