Thompson Pump, a pump manufacturer for construction, municipal and public works, bypass and emergency applications in Port Orange, Florida, is featuring its new Recon2000T control panel at the Water Environment Federation's Technical Exhibition and Conference (WEFTEC 2017) Oct. 2-4 in Chicago.Through a telemetry add-on, the Recon2000T is manufactured for remote pump control and monitoring. The control panel is designed to allow pump operation and performance supervision from a smartphone, laptop, desktop computer or other devices with internet access.
Thompson Pump is holding daily on-site demos showcasing the new technology with a live video feed of a Thompson pump in Port Orange being controlled by the panel.
“Attendees will be able to control a pump in real time at our booth and immediately see how this new control panel allows them to access data from a remote location,” says Bobby Zitzka, national sales manager for Thompson Pump. “As we continually assess the evolving needs of municipalities, this new technology has been designed to accommodate relevant jobs like monitoring pumps that are backing up lift stations, sewer bypasses and many other applications.”
The Recon2000T uses cellular and satellite networks and is available with Wi-Fi. It is designed to give operators access and control over the pump unit with the ability to remotely monitor the unit, record data and vary speed. According to the company, the dashboard displays the same pump and engine data as it appears on the Recon2000T control panel on-site. If there’s a problem with the pump or engine, the Recon2000T can be set up to notify the user on his or her smart device.
