multi-pump controllers used in applications such as lift stations,
wet wells, wastewater systems, tanks, and industrial processes.
Intrinsic safety applies to the complete installed circuit. Field devices,
wiring, entity parameters, associated apparatus, control drawings, and
installation requirements must all be evaluated for the specific system.
Advanced Motor Monitoring
The Diversified Electronics portfolio also includes advanced products such
as the MPA2 Motor Protection Analyzer and
Motor Director™ Advanced Motor Monitoring and Protection
System.
These systems expand beyond basic phase monitoring by providing additional
electrical measurements, configurable protective functions, communications,
