Pump Monitoring, Alarms & Telemetry by Alton Pumps
PUMP MONITORING SYSTEMS

Earlier Warning Through Alarms & Telemetry

Monitoring helps site teams respond before a developing problem becomes a flood, sewage surcharge or complete service failure. The appropriate system depends on the pump application and consequence of failure.

Options can include local high-level alarms, panel fault indication, remote notifications, run-status monitoring, power-failure alerts, level information and interfaces to wider BMS, telemetry or SCADA systems.

We review the existing controls, available signals, communication method, alarm recipients and testing requirements before recommending an arrangement.

High-level alarms

Local and remote warning where liquid levels rise above the normal operating range.

Pump status

Run, fault, trip and availability signals from compatible controls.

Remote notification

Alerts routed to agreed contacts through suitable communication equipment.

System interfaces

Connections to BMS, telemetry or SCADA subject to the project specification.

HOW WE APPROACH THE WORK

Practical Pump Engineering
Based on the Complete System

Send photographs, pump data, drawings and a description of the requirement. We will identify the information needed for the next step.

Monitoring does not replace planned servicing, but it can reduce the time between a fault developing and someone becoming aware of it. This is especially valuable for remote, unattended or business-critical systems.

Existing panels may already provide suitable volt-free contacts or communication signals. Where they do not, panel modification or replacement may be required to create reliable alarm and status information.

Alarm ownership is important: recipients, escalation routes, testing intervals and out-of-hours arrangements should be agreed so notifications lead to action.

Plan the Right Next Step

Use the service that matches the immediate requirement so the engineer can prepare the correct scope and equipment.

Not sure which service applies? Send the fault, project or asset information and we will direct the enquiry correctly.

MONITORING DELIVERY

A Clear Monitoring Delivery Process

The scope is agreed around the equipment, site conditions, operational risk and the information available.

Review

Confirm equipment, signals and risks.

Design

Agree alarms, recipients and interfaces.

Install

Fit and integrate compatible monitoring equipment.

Test

Prove alarms, communications and response routes.

The recommended work is based on the actual pump system and site conditions rather than a generic product assumption.

Where follow-up repair, replacement or design work is required, the next stage is clearly separated from the initial attendance or service scope.

We supply, install and repair leading pump manufacturers including Grundfos, Flygt, Wilo, Lowara, DAB, Ebara, Xylem, HOMA, HCP, Tsurumi.

PUMP MONITORING, ALARMS & TELEMETRY FAQ

Pump Monitoring, Alarms & Telemetry Questions

Answers to common questions about scope, preparation and the next steps.

What can a pump monitoring system report? +

Depending on the controls, it may report high level, pump fault, pump running, power failure, abnormal run time and other agreed signals.

Can monitoring be added to an existing panel? +

Often yes, subject to the panel condition, available signals, electrical design and compatibility. Some systems require panel modification or replacement.

Does monitoring replace servicing? +

No. It provides visibility between visits but does not replace physical inspection, cleaning, testing and preventative maintenance.

Can alarms be sent to several people? +

This depends on the selected platform and agreed escalation process. Recipients and responsibilities should be defined during setup.

Can you interface with a BMS or SCADA system? +

Yes, where the project specification and available signals allow. The interface requirements should be confirmed with the controls or telemetry provider.
