QPC
Quadraplex Pump Controller
Multiple Loads, SOSO or FOFO Output Logic
Series QPC Quadraplex Pump Controller is used where four pumps are required to
alternate to provide equal run time on each. Alternating loads allows for equal wear on all
pumps lengthening their operation life. The Series QPC has five inputs allowing the four
outputs to operate properly even if one of the inputs fails to open or close. Four LED
indicators show the load that is energized by the SPST output contacts. The QPC is
available in two sequence configurations: sequence-on-simultaneous-off (SOSO) and first-onfirst-off (FOFO). In the SOSO sequence, an additional load is energized each time a higher
level switch is activated, and all loads are de-energized simultaneously when the lowest
level switch deactivates. In the FOFO sequence, the loads are energized in the same manner
as the SOSO sequence, but loads are de-energized individually as each level switch
deactivates. In either sequence, the lead load position is advanced to equalize run time on
each pump. An inrush delay on both models reduces line sags by preventing multiple loads
from energizing simultaneously. Please see the online service manual for more details on
SOSO and FOFO sequencing.
