Designing solutions for your installation

LEVEL CONTROL

Our team has been designing and producing digital level controllers and smart float switch controllers for nearly 40 years. We have produced many thousands of UL 508A and UL698A lift station, sump pump, and level controllers, for applications in these markets and more:

  • Commercial Wastewater
  • Municipal Sewage and Storm Water Lift Stations
  • Sump Pumps
  • Dewatering Pumps
  • Tank Level Control

To handle the many different requirements of the various pump system types, CM Controls has created our PUMP VisionTM Universal Pump Controller series of products that allow us to use the same products for any level control application.

And due to our vast experience in the pump control market, we have developed an extensive computerized library of our OEM engineered systems, including bill-of-materials, wiring diagrams, and layouts. These systems are priced with a computerized pricing program that enables us to provide a fast and accurate quotation, perfectly suited to your needs. The best possible systems for virtually any application are available using our “standards”. We offer our experience and guidance with your design needs to ensure that your finished level control system meets the project requirements.

Our Commercial Series control panels are the most standardized, due to the lower number of options available. By limiting the options, we are able to offer a very capable, industrial quality, level control at a great value and with quick delivery! And these panels still include either a “Smart” controller with Float Switch Failure technology, or a PUMP VisionTM PV1/PV2 controller with level transducer input and communication capabilities.

Our Commercial Series panels include:

  • UL Listed motor circuit protection
  • UL Listed environmental ratings
  • UL Listed control circuitry
  • “Smart” float switch controller with float failure detection, auto re-sequencing of the float functions, and alarm horn / indicator.
  • Intrinsically safe barrier options
  • Many alarm options

Color touch screen controller PUMP VisionTM PV1 (Simplex) & PV2 (Duplex) add more features, including:

  • Fault management
  • Building Automation System communication
  • Internet communication
  • Pump station RTU
  • Transducer level sensor

With our Municipal Series panels, just about anything is possible. Our estimators and engineers use a computerized pricing and design program to select nearly any combination of features to create a system that is perfectly suited to your needs.
