Metro Group Upgrades an Outdated Pump Control System
In commercial buildings, reliable water systems are essential for tenant safety. When a Murray Hill building’s water tank pump control system failed, leaving them dependent on a temporary tether float switch, Metro Group stepped in to provide a seamless, long-term solution.
How We Revamped the Water Tank Pump Control Panel
Our electrical team executed a comprehensive plan to replace the outdated system with a modern, efficient control panel. Here’s a breakdown of our solution:
Preparing for a Smooth Pump Control Panel Replacement:
- Traced, tagged, and disconnected the control and power wires.
- Removed the existing control panel and set up temporary power to the tether float switch to ensure uninterrupted operation.
Installing a Modern Water Tank Control Panel:
- Constructed a rack to mount the new control panel.
- Installed a transformer to power the panel.
- Mounted and wired the new control/alarm panel to the breaker and transformer.
Upgrading Water Tank Sensors for Improved Accuracy:
- Installed a flange in the water tank to support a new flow line sensor.
- Replaced the tether float with the new sensor and connected it to the control panel.
Programming and Testing for Reliable Water Management:
- Programmed relay points to optimize system functionality.
- Configured and tested water level settings in the new panel.
- Connected the overload signal and advisory alarm in the lobby to the new control system.
Key Benefits of Upgrading to a Modern Water Tank Control System
The new system offers advanced functionality and reliability:
- State-of-the-Art Control: Features a Rhombus Digital Pump-Up Control with precise water level management.
- Ease of Use: Includes a digital bar graph and water level readout on the panel face, allowing for real-time monitoring.
- User-Friendly Adjustments: Alarm and water levels can be easily set directly on the controller, eliminating the need for a laptop.
This upgrade not only enhances the system’s reliability but also simplifies the management process for building operators.
