You cannot rely on mechanical devices like floats. If you are serious about spill prevention, you have to eliminate devices that are bound to fail. Even if your primary control fails (RTU/PLC), the high level in the well or sump detected by the MultiTrode probe and relay can be used to turn a pump on automatically.

With implementation of MultiTrode’s single sensor probes and MTR relay system, spills can be reduced dramatically and users have a back-up system that is reliable. That is one reason probes are installed in 30% of wastewater pump stations in Australia.

Probe operation is unaffected by build up of fat, grease, debris and foam, which causes other systems such as floats, bubblers and transducers to fail. That is why MultiTrode has installed probes in more than 50 000 pump stations, and more than 10 000 pump controllers and station supervisors in pump stations worldwide.

Multitrode Probes

MultiTrode probes are rugged, reliable, cost effective and simple to use. Designed for the tough, turbulent conditions found in water, sewage and industrial tanks and sumps, the probes can be found in the simplest and the most complex water and wastewater management systems around the world. Features and benefits include:

* Low maintenance.

* Simple installation.

* Excellent in turbulence.

* Short and long term cost savings.

* Environmentally friendly.

* Safe, low sensing voltage.

* Unaffected by fat, grease, debris and foam.

* Positive pump cut-out Safe – MTISB Barrier.

Reliabliability

Operation is unaffected by build-up of fat, grease debris and foam, which causes other systems such as floats, bubblers, pressure and ultrasonic transducers to fail. Turbulence does not affect the probe operation. The rugged, streamlined design eliminates tangling and is ideal for confined spaces.

Positive pump cut-out

Operational consistency is important to longevity, low maintenance and cost control. The positive pump cut-out ensures pumps are turned off at the same level every time. This avoids damage due to pump over run and the cost of additional control equipment.

Safety

The extra low sensing voltage ensures operators and maintenance staff are protected. All MultiTrode products are environmentally safe, containing no mercury or other harmful contaminants.

Cost savings

The low cost of equipment, installation and maintenance makes MultiTrode an efficient level control system. Robust construction and longevity ensures continued cost savings over time.
