March May Pumps 1 | Page 23

PUMP PROTECTOR The March May Pump Protector system is based around the APM 110E Power Monitor with an optional LED display Unit. The system works by measuring the power absorbed by the pump in order to protect it from damage or to provide warnings of system problems and inefficiencies. The basic principle is a comparison between the actual kW consumption with a pre-defined value based on the expected requirement of the pump at the duty point or that set at time of installation. The APM 110E is extremely easy to install and to set up and can be used on it's own. The addition of the D10 Display unit gives more detailed information to help improve system efficiency and early warnings of potential problems.
