3The
Pump Boss
is a dual pump controller capable of complex pump control with a variety of controller algorithms. In its most basic operation the
Pump Boss
can be used as a single ordual channel timer with up to eight daily events, weekly timer with multiple days and multi-ple events or a duration timer with a single event that repeats (useable for example as a 14,28 90 day timer). Each channel is programmable so a dual timer based program can be runfrom a
Pump Boss
.
When used with a flow verification device
Pump Boss
can control the pump in gallons perhour and totalize flow. Again the
Pump Boss
can control two pumps independently or whenused together powerful dual pump capabilities are possible such as an automatic switch overfeature or the ability to use two pumps in a base and trim combination.If a process flow meter is added the
Pump Boss
can become a powerful process controllerallowing you to proportionally dose two separate process flows at separate dose rates, or asingle process flow with two separate dose rates, or when coupled with our auto-switch overa single flow with a single dose rate but with automatic pump redundancy. The proportionalflow concentration can be displayed in ppm or as a percentage of the flow.The
Pump Boss
is also an excellent local control station for pumps in your plant. It allows forremote start stop, 4-20 mA follower, alarm if pump/s fail and indication of pumps running.We have advanced remote trigger capabilities that allow you to use a contact closure to initi-ate the start up of the pump boss. You can chose for simple remote on off, activation after anumber of contact closures, activation after a duration of a contact being closed and thenwhen activated the response being just turning on, dosing a specific volume, or proportionaldosing in ppm.Keep in mind that the
Pump Boss
has the ability to run two pump separately. This means youcan use the
Pump Boss
to run two completely different regimes such as channel one dosingproportionally to a flow and the second channel doing simple on off timer control. Also withthe inclusion of 2 powered relays for each channel the relay can be used to power valves orother devices to accomplish things like boiler blow down.The
Pump Boss
is also designed to provide 4-20 mA control signals as well as pulse control.This allows you to use the
Pump Boss
with larger capacity pumps that may have speed con-trol via a VFD or DC drive. As you become a more accomplished
Pump Boss
user, you will see how the programmingmodes can be mixed and matched for you to accomplish pump control schemes that in thepast would require you to program a PLC.
