Basic Float control pump package or advanced pump package?
If you are working on pump systems with float control, Cerus has two duplex alternatives: basic and advanced. So,when should you use a basic package and when should you use an advanced?Generally speaking the basic system is just that- basic with no intelligence built in. It is great for cost sensitive projects or for temporary installations. The advanced system includes our state of the art PLC with intelligence and flexibility to suit almost all applications. Additionally the advanced package includes our electronic overload and manual motor starters for both branch and motor protection, while the basic includes our thermal overloads with differential phase failure protection. So the advanced package is great for maximum protection and application flexibility. The summary table below details the key differences between both packages. Still not sure? Give us a call and we will be happy to determine the best package for your application.
