Quantum 3 Pulsar Superior Pumping Station Controller

Quantum 3 is a fully-featured pump controller, using Pulsar’s unique non-contacting ultrasonic technology including DATEM digital echo discrimination to provide sophisticated level management. Quantum 3 can be programmed to provide an alarm based on the time remaining before the station or well spills over. Vital for utilities who face the risk of prosecution if a station pollutes the local environment. Quantum 3 adds the ability to interface with up to four Flow Pulse non-invasive flow monitors, so all flow-rate based alarms and control is based on measured rather than calculated flow.
