Innovative
ePumpControl Digital Pump
Display & Control Screen:
Another first
for E-1 is our ePumpControl electronic Pump Pressure Control / digital pump panel
display screen (offered as a cost option)
The
system can be installed on any pump and chassis cab
configuration (interfacing with the E-1 CANbus Controller),
and replaces any existing water pump or CAFS controls,
simplifying the system operation.
As
standard, it allows the pump operator to specify an output pressure
- which the system regulates. Branch pressure is
automatically maintained, negating the risk to the
firefighter of unexpected pressure fluctuations.
The
system is self-diagnosing and provides significant
(customisable) additional data, vehicle diagnostics, and
pump usage data logging – assisting in appliance
maintenance, reducing life-costs, and improving system
reliability. In the event of any component failure, the
system switches to Manual Control Mode – wherein the pump
is controlled in the “traditional” rpm style.
Reduced
exposure to noise: In Pressure Control Mode, use of
ePumpControl means that the pump operator can move away from
the pump position immediately, only returning when further
actions are required (e.g. tank filling etc). Correct use of
ePumpControl means that the operator’s exposure to noise
with not exceed the Lower Exposure Action Value (LEAV).
