Introduction
Product Overview
The Oil Alert Simplex control system is designed and approved for the safe operation of pumping, alarming and
monitoring elevator sump pits, transformer vaults and leachate well applications. The Oil Alert will activate a pump
to remove water from elevator pits in accordance with ASME A17.1. The Oil Alert stops the pump before oil or
other harmful substances enter our water supply.
A menu system with a rotary encoder interface and a front facing RGB indicator beacon provide indication of the
current system state as well as access to the application configurations. Hand-Off-Auto controls for each pump
are provided via push button control or via optional toggle switches mounted on the inner door of the panel.
The panel also has several auxiliary dry contact outputs. They are as follows:
