1.1 Product description
LORENTZ PS DataModule
The LORENTZ PS DataModule is an integral data logger and remote control device
for the whole PS and PSk2 range of helical, centrifugal and surface pumps. The PS
DataModule is pre-installed in PS Controllers and embedded in PS2 and PSk2 Con-
trollers with Smart Solution support. The PS DataModule measures the key data from
the pump system and stores it in on-board memory. Depending on the sample rate
up to 10 years of data can be stored.
LORENTZ PumpScanner
To view real-time data or to collect historic data from the PS DataModule an applica-
tion called “PumpScanner” is used. PumpScanner runs on the Android Operating
System (smartphone or tablet) and communicates with the PS DataModule via Blue-
tooth. The communication distance is up to 10 m (33 ft). Pump setting changes such
as on/off timers and speed control can also be made.
LORENTZ PS Communicator 3G
The communicator is used to control and read the values and stored data of a pump
system (equipped with a LORENTZ DataModule) via remote control comfortably
from home, office or on the road. It is possible to handle several pump systems.
