SERIES MPC
PUMP CONTROLLER
LEVEL
One or Two Pump Control with Built-In Alternation, Over Temperature Protection and Seal Failure Monitoring
The Series MPC Pump Controller provides versatile level control in a standard 1/4
DIN package. Designed for use with almost any style level transmitter the unit displays
the present level and main set point value. Incorporated in the MPC is programmable
level differential for on/off control of one or two pumps, valves, or other devices through
two SPDT relays.
BENEFITS/FEATURES
• Selectable pump alternation when used with two pumps to minimize pump wear, with
alternation “on” a seal failure or over temperature condition will force the non-failed
pump to lead status and stop alternation
• Alarms can be programmed for output indication of pump seal failure or over
temperature
• Selectable time delay, for pump two, on power up to prevent both pumps from
starting at the same time
• In the event of power loss, upon regaining power a time delay of up to 60 seconds
can be selected to prevent excessively large current draw
• Test system function simulates the process input to ensure the pumps are operating
or to test programming
• User-friendly programming menu
