GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The SM96 Pump Controller has been designed specifically to cater for distributed sewage pumping systems. It is used where a building or dwelling has its own sewage & waste water storage tank that must be periodically emptied into a pipe network at a high positive pressure. These distributed sewage systems are used where terrain is unsuitable for simple gravity fed outlets. Where dwellings are close to the water table or on rocky, undulating land, these domestic pumping systems can greatly reduce the costs of connecting a building to a public sewage network.
The SM96 pump controller is a compact wall mounted unit which will manage the operation of a pump motor integral to a domestic waste water collection tank. Three probes within the tank will inform the controller when the tank has been pumped dry, when a tank is in danger of overflowing, or when a normal pump cycle needs to be initiated. The probes may be either submersible float switches or conductive probes set to different levels within the tank. A number of alarm conditions will be declared and recorded where normal operating parameters have been exceeded.
The controller has been independently laboratory tested and is fully compliant with Australian AS3100 electrical safety standards (CS03057V) and with the new Electromagnetic Compatibility, EMC standards. (C-tick no. N12656)
The SM96 unit features an advanced microprocessor controller bonded to the backplane within the enclosure. Heavy contactors and current overload devices support single phase 240VAC pumps with Start/Run motor windings and an average load current of up to 15 Amps. An integral Residual Current Device (RCD) ensures protection against earth leakage faults.
Where the pump motor requires a separate high current starter circuit, an approved ‘Starter Module’ may be fitted to the SM96 backplane. (shown below)

A perspex barrier behind the cabinet door separates all internal wiring from the user console. This allows routine pump maintenance to be carried out without the presence of electrical staff. (Installation and maintenance of all electrical components will still require the presence of a qualified electrical contractor.)
The cabinet is an extremely tough moulded polyester composition, with stainless steel hinge and latches and foam door seals. Stainless Steel door latches will accept padlocks . The cabinet is intended to be wall mounted with brackets provided and cable access may be effected from all sides or rear.
OTHER FEATURES
Should tank levels become too high or too low, audible and visual alarms will be triggered for the duration of the fault. A single or double flash will indicate the fault type. The audible alarm may be suppressed for 6 hours by briefly pressing an ‘Alarm ‘Mute button on the underside of the cabinet. Motor operation is inhibited with ‘Tank Low’ alarms. A third alarm condition will indicate the accidental reversal of the ‘High’ and ‘Low’ probes by installation staff.

- A ‘Motor Jog’ button inside the cabinet will force the pump to operate for a brief period.
- An electromechanical hour-meter (resettable) indicates total pump activity.
- The cabinet size is 360mm high, 310mm wide and 160mm deep. Unit weight is 7.5 Kg
