Fluidwell F074 Safe Area Level Controller & Pump Control

Description

The Fluidwell F074 Safe Area Level Controller offers a sophisticated yet user-friendly approach to automated level management. At its core, the device operates by comparing real-time sensor data against a user-defined preset value. By entering low and high switch points as percentages of this preset, operators can precisely control when a device is activated or deactivated. For specialized pump control applications, the function can be inverted to empty a well or tank, ensuring a stable level is maintained within the set hysteresis.

What sets the F074 apart is its extreme durability and ease of operation. Following the Fluidwell “know one, know them all” configuration philosophy, users can set spans, offsets, and decimals through software functions without the need for sensitive trimmers or DIP-switches. The physical hardware is equally impressive; the enclosure is available in GRP, Aluminum, or Stainless Steel 316L and is so rugged that a truck can literally stand on it. This ensures that your Fluidwell F074 Safe Area Level Controller continues to perform even in the harshest industrial conditions, from heavy snow to salty marine atmospheres.
