The Oil Alert™ single phase simplex control panel is used for the safe operation of pumping, alarming, and monitoring of: elevator sump pits, transformer vaults, and leachate well applications. The control panel will activate a pump to remove water from pits in accordance with ASME A17.1, stopping the pump before oil or other harmful substances enter the water supply. Comes in 240VAC, 14.0-18.0 Amps, and a Type 4X (indoor/outdoor) enclosure. The control panel comes with a pre-installed female pump power receptacle, incoming system power cable, preset level sensor, alarm test/silence switch, and alarm buzzer. The incoming and pump power must match system voltage. Refer to included electrical schematic for complete wiring and voltage information.
The control panel is operated by the factory wired preset level sensor module for pump stop, pump start, high water alarm, and oil detection alarm (high level float switch). As the water level rises touching the pump start probe (middle), the pump will start and continue to run until the water level recedes below the pump stop probe (longest) to complete the pump cycle. The control panel pump run LED will illuminate when the pump is running and pump run auxiliary contacts will activate. Other LED status indicators are included for: power, high water alarm, high oil alarm, trouble alarm, pump stop sensor, pump start sensor, high water alarm sensor, and high level float switch.
The pump stop probe senses air or oil and when the water level is no longer touching this probe, the pump stops running so the oil layer will not be pumped out of the sump. Oil will float on top of water, so if oil is present and touching this probe, the pump will also stop running. If the water level rises touching the high water probe (shortest), a high water alarm condition occurs, the buzzer annunciates and the pump continues to run (will also act as a redundant pump start/pump run function). If the test/silence switch is toggled upward during an alarm condition, it will silence the buzzer while the red high water alarm LED remains illuminated. The alarm condition automatically resets when water is no longer touching the high water probe.
If oil, hydrocarbon, or other harmful substances are floating on top of the water level touching the high water probe while simultaneously activating the high level float switch, then a high oil alarm (oil detected) condition occurs, the buzzer annunciates and the pump continues to run as long as water and not oil is touching the pump start and pump stop probes. During an alarm condition the control panel LED(s) will illuminate, buzzer annunciates, and the auxiliary contacts send a signal to activate an optional Oil Alert™ remote alarm panel or BAS system. If the test/silence switch is toggled upward during an alarm condition, it will silence the buzzer while the red alarm LED(s) remain illuminated. The alarm auxiliary contacts of the control panel can be connected to an optional Oil Alert™ remote alarm, building automation system (BAS) or SCADA system, and phone dialers for remote notification of alarm conditions.
Application Example
The preset level sensor (standard model) is the typical sensor option for Oil Alert™ control panel systems. This application example shows the basic functions of the sensor module that is installed in the monitoring area.
