The well-known red indicator on sewer cabinets in rural areas has been made smart by Inter Act. Thanks to the addition of a small processor, the indicator gets extra functions such as logging the pump control (on/off/number of switchings), high-water switch and thermal protection. The logged data is communicated to the TeleControlNet main station at fixed intervals, but when an alarm is activated, it’s status is immediately reported to the main station.
The pump times and the number of switchings are valuable information for predictive maintenance. Based on the total running time and change in switching behaviour, it’s possible to carry out preventive and predictive maintenance.
