12.06 How is a FE Petro pump controller integrated into a fuel system?

The basic FE Petro pump controller allows for a 120 VAC input signal (which they call a hook signal) to activate the submersible pump. The Earthsafe duplex pump controller activates the controllers by providing this signal.

The basic FE Petro controller provide motor protection, but lacks the following features that are often required of mission critical systems:

• local power disconnect switch
• manual mode switch in addition to its passive auto mode
• current sensor or other feedback demonstrating pump function

The base controller also has a function for extended run shutoff after a 60 minute operating time. For mission critical applications, this function should be de-selected by the dip switch settings within the controller.
