1. INTRODUCTION The MicroVision microprocessor based cooling tower controller has been designed to control up to four (4) independent powered timer outputs. Each output can be programmed in any one of the following modes, Pulse timer, Percent timer, 28 day Biocide timer, or as a cycle timer.
2.3 Drum Levels When an input is defined as a drum level it is linked to the corresponding relay output. For example, if input #1 is set as drum level, it will be linked to relay one and may be set by the user to either deactivate the relay, or only to activate an alarm.
