Features

Ultra 5 offers the same features as the Ultra 3 controller but also with the added benefit of more advanced features:

Level and Volume:

Ultra 5 is perfect for the wide range of level measurement applications, featuring five control relays and a measurement range from 125mm to 40m. Offers optional 4-20mA input for a pressure transmitter or similar. Includes pre-programmed tank shape conversion for a variety of standard tank shapes. Unusual shapes are also accommodated through the 32 point linearisation function.

Fetures

Pump control

Ultra 5 give you advanced pump control functions including:

Power run-on
Pump exercising
Start point variation
Storm control feature
Aeration control
Flush valve control

Differential

Ultra 5 offers the inclusion of differential level capability using two transducers. With one upstream and the other downstream of a screen or penstock, an alarm or control signal is initiated as the difference between the level exceeds a user-defined limit to automatically operate the cleaning mechanism.

Open channel flow

Ultra 5 provides non-contacting, flow measurement and control in a wide range of flumes and weirs with 2 additional relays.
