I was recently asked “Phil, why is this a picture of a phone, and not a pump?”
Strictly speaking you are correct. It is a phone, which is linked via the cloud to a Peerless Fire pump set.
What the picture shows is what you can see on your phone without going near the plant in question.
What exactly does it do?
Well, below are the highlights of this phone app.
If you are responsible for fire control and the systems that support fire safety then this is for you.
• With the system in a static (non-running) condition, have remote real-time access to system values such as power/voltage levels, system pressure, any current or previous alarms and many other statistical values
• With the system in a running condition, have access to all the above information, plus view in real time the actual operating conditions of the fire pump system, including suction and discharge pressures, flow rate, and many other operating system condition values
• Remote real-time monitoring, without opening the fire pump controller door, reduces operator risk factors and promotes personnel safety
In short it is a system that links to your fire pumps and lets you know if there are any problems, either existing, or to a certain degree, oncoming.
Not just a phone, is it?
