TC340 – Programmable Level Control
The 3P TC Series Tank Controller maintains and monitors the level of water in a storage tank. A precise level sensing probe detects the exact height of water present in the tank. The Controller then uses any of four mains voltage outputs which can be connected to pumps, solenoids, motorised valves or any other type of filling or draining device to maintain the level between defined limits.
Each pump or valve connected to the Controller is assigned high and low switch levels, and configured to drain or fill the tank. Additionally, each output can be linked to any of the 5 switch inputs, which must be closed for the output to operate. This is in addition to the minimum and maximum levels that the output must operate within and is useful in cases where water is to be transferred from point to point. Filling a tanker for example could be conditional on sufficient water in the main supply tank, and also depend on a shut-off or level switch on the tanker or filling hose. Alternatively, a pumped stormwater attenuation system could be linked to a rain sensor to stop emptying the tank when rainfall is detected.
Level sensing is achieved via a single pressure sensor installed on the base of the tank. This reads the actual water depth and the Control Panel then shows the exact level and operates accordingly, thereby removing the reliability issues associated with float switch-based systems.
All level settings are set from the Control Panel. There is no need to enter the tank to fit and adjust float switches. High and low-level alarms are also set from the control panel, and a switched BMS output (volt-free contact) is provided, which can be also used to activate sirens/strobes.
Advanced Fault Tracking detects and logs faults in memory until you choose to erase them, allowing easy identification of intermittent and historical faults.
Overvoltage and brownout protection, immediate recovery from power failures with no loss of setting and auto reboot, individually fused outputs, oversized power supply to electronics, removable MCU chip (software) for easy upgrades. Modular connector design and tolerant software allow pumps and sensors to be ‘hot-swapped’ without switching off the Controller or remaining pump.
Designed, programmed, built and assembled in the UK. With full UK-based technical support, rapid spares availability, and spare parts supply from UK stocks. Full repair/recon service to component level.
