DESCRIPTION

The Model 4052 Pump-Down Controller provides total

control for duplex pumping systems. The Model 4052
monitors, controls and displays the liquid level in a tank
or reservoir. Maximum selectable depth is from 11.5 ft.
to 346 ft.

The input to the Model 4052 can be from any 2 or 3-wire
transducer with a 4-20mA output representing the

selected depth. A 24VDC regulated probe supply is
included. A Level Simulator is provided to aid in
programming these five set points; Low Alarm, Pumps
Off, Level 1, Level 2 and High Alarm.

A universal zero to 30 second On Delay can be
programmed to prevent outputs from closing due to
input fluctuations caused by turbulent conditions. An

additional 4-20mA output with zero and span controls is

provided for a chart recorder or other external device.

Four heavy-duty 10 amp, 120V contacts are provided
for pump control and alarm activation. An auto-dialer or

other emergency device can be activated with the SPDT
power loss relay. This relay is held open when power is
applied.

Pump outputs include duplex alternation as well as

hand-off-auto switches. Pump run-time can be

displayed for each pump with tenth of an hour
resolution, up to 99,999.9 hours. The Model 4052 can

be panel-mounted (11 1/8” x 4 5/8) or surface-mounted
using the optional surface-mounting kit (Model 4000).

MOUNTING & WIRING

Mount the Model 4052 Pump-Down Controller in a

panel or suitable enclosure (see Time Mark’s Model
4000 Surface Mount kit).

Referring to the terminal block decals on the unit, and

Figure 2, make the following connections:

SIGNAL INPUT

With a 3-wire 4-20mA transducer (see Time Mark

Model 450) remotely mounted, connect the +24VDC
OUT terminal to the voltage input of the transducer

(figure 3). Connect the 4-20mA IN terminals to the loop
terminals of the transducer. OBSERVE POLARITY.

figure 3.

Connect a 2-wire transducer (pressure, ultrasonic, etc.)
as shown in figure 4.

figure 4.

SIGNAL OUTPUT

The 4-20mA output is proportional to the input signal.

This allows for very accurate remote monitoring of level
changes. The factory default is for the output to track
the input; that is, a 4mA signal represents 00.0 feet, and
a 20mA signal represents 34.6 feet. However, the
output can be zeroed and spanned to a specific range,
not necessarily the same as the reading on the LED

display.
The 4-20mA OUT terminals may be connected to a

remote display or other devices. Connect these
terminals as required for your application. OBSERVE

POLARITY of the connections.

RELAY OUTPUTS

SPDT contacts are provided for PUMP 1, PUMP 2, HI­ALARM, LO-ALARM and POWER FAIL relays. Make
wiring connections as required.

OPERATING POWER

Connect a chassis ground to the lug marked GND and
the terminal marked G.

Connect 120VAC operating power to the terminals

marked L (line) and N (neutral).
