MultiSmart Installation & Operation Manual

21 Reservoir Monitor

The MultiSmart can be configured as a Reservoir Monitor when this module has been purchased. In this
mode, there are no pumps to control so all functionality related to pumps, groups and motor protection are
unavailable.

21.1 Communications Configuration

When configuring the MultiSmart as a Reservoir Monitor the first question asked by the Setup Wizard is
which DNP3 Communications configuration should be used. There are three options – A, B or C.
NOTE:
Configuration B is the recommended setup.
When running through the Setup Wizard for the corresponding pump station, if you select Remote Level and
enter the corresponding DNP3 addresses, the two stations will be linked.
21.1.1 Configuration A
In this configuration the Pump Station receives the level from the Reservoir Monitor via the DNP3 Master
(MTU). This configuration is used when there is no direct communications link between the pump station
and reservoir monitor or the communications network is complex.
MultiTrode recommends using a redundant MTU when using this configuration.
