The CAPB - Pump comes as a completely assembled and tested wall-mount unit requiring only input (line) mains power (100 to 240 VAC single or split phase) and control lines from the pump station to be connected to the control relays, to be installed by a licensed electrician.
The CAPB - Pump is comprised of two interconntected electrical enclosures mounted on a common finished panel:
• WAVE Sequencer enclosure
• Metal switch-gear enclosure
The CAPB - Pump includes an integral WAVE Sequencer, packaged in a polycarbonate weather- resistant enclosure. All AC equipment and switch-gear are packaged in steel enclosures for arc-flash protection.
The CAPB - Pump requires either local Strike Guard Lightning Data Receiver direct connection, or RF signaling from a WAVE Transmitter actuated by a Strike Guard Lightning Warning System, or manual activation. The CAPB - Pump is customized based on project requirements. In addition to the optional strobe light, the CAPB can be configured with output relays with wetted contacts.
The CAPB - Pump is designed for use with the Strike Guard Lightning Warning System to protect an irrigation pump station from lightning induced surge currents. By providing an early warning to the pump and allowing it to safely spin down before sprinkler heads and valves are closed, the CAPB – Pump prevents irrigation pipe damage due to hydraulic shock.
In addition to providing automatic and safe shutdown of a pump station, the CAPB - Pump offers an optional strobe light to alert nearby personnel that the pump is powered down.
By giving advance lightning warning to a pump station that a shutdown is imminent, the CAPB - Pump
protects golf course infrastructure, maximizes uptime, and minimizes repair costs.
Controlled Pump Station Shutdown and Restart
