The Problem

• Failure to establish programmed flow after pump turn on signal has been applied.
• Failure to maintain proper flow during normal operation due to line clogging, line rupture, incorrect valve positioning, etc.

The Solution

• Insertion of an SDC-101 shut down control in the input power line of pumps, heaters, valves, etc., that are flow critical will interrupt power automatically upon loss of flow.
• Power will remain off until the problem has been corrected and proper flow re-established.
• Loss of pump prime is a persistent fluid system problem. A flow switch at the pump output is a viable solution, except that it presents a “Catch 22″ situation, i.e. lack of flow at start up will not allow the flow switch to supply power to the pump. A manual push to start or automatic time delay relay switch in parallel with the flow switch is required to supply power to the pump motor during startup. After the pump is up to speed the parallel switch kicks out and the flow switch takes over flow monitoring. Model SDC-101 is provided with a parallel variable time delay relay switch/flow switch combination to provide pump protection during startup as well as the continuous phase of operation.

SDC-101 modules may be connected to monitor:

• Critical points in simple one pump systems or, in series, with pumps, heaters, valves, etc., so that failure of any part will shut the whole system down.
• Isolated or remote components and sub-systems.

Time Delay Relay

Operation

When rating voltage is applied to the input, the timing cycle begins and the DPDT relay is activated. At the end of the timing cycle, the relay is de-activated and remains in that condition until power is removed from the input. Switching off and then turning on of input power re-starts the timing cycle. This timing sequence will repeat each time the system is turned on.
