Wireless Water Pumping Control System

A large military base requested that we help design a water level monitoring and control system. The system was an extremely simple concept. A person was to visually monitor water level in a holding pond. When the level got low, manually turn on pumps to refill the pond from the supply lakes. The tricky part was the pumps were close to the supply lakes – miles from the holding area and in a low lying area. By using wireless technology (transmitters, recievers & a signal repeater), the system was installed and working quickly without long, expensive runs of conduit, cable and hours of labor. Pictured at the left are the outdoor enclosures built to house all of the wireless equipment.
