GETTING STARTED
TheuniqueMATelecRain/MainsWaterControllerisdesignedtoprovideacontinuoussupplyofwaterforavarietyof
uses,whilstprioritisingandmaximisingtheusageofRainWater.
ThesystemcomprisesaController,auniqueValveandaLiquidLevelSwitch.Thecontrollernotonlymonitorsthe
levelofstoredRainWater,switchingthevalveaccordingly,butalsoprovidesaswitchedoutputforthecontrolofpower
toapressurepumpingsystem
If Rain Water becomes available, the valve through which Mains Water is being supplied, is automatically pulsed
closedbythecontroller,andatthesametime,the240Vacpumpoutputcontactsareenergised.
Intheeventofeither‘RainWaterDepletion’,“PrimeLoss’(ifsetup),‘PowerFailure’or‘PumpFailure’thecontroller
willimmediatelypulsethevalveopen,andde-energisethepumpoutputcontacts.
Thecontrollerhasa‘SystemTest’functionwhich,ifinitiated,changesthestatusofthesystemtoenabletheoperator
tocheckvalveandpumpfunctionatthepressofabutton.ThistestbuttondoublesasaResetButtontoenablethe
operatortoclearfaultswithouthavingtoenterthelivevoltageareaoftheenclosure.
ThisproductisideallysetupforIndustrialandCommercialapplicationssuchasplayingelds,golfcoursesandlarge
commercialpropertieswithmultipletoilets,wherea’highow’systemisrequired.Thecontrollerissuitedtoanoutdoor
installation,andishousedinaweatherprooflockablemetalenclosure.
