The Shipco® Type SLC-VC is an economical method of automating functions on a Shipco® vacuum condensate unit. The SLC-VC is used on vacuum condensate units for operating vacuum and condensate pumps and indication of level, temperature and vacuum pressure. The SLC-VC is a programmable NEMA 4X controller featuring a full color touchscreen display. Support for building automation protocols including Modbus and BACnet are available.
The SLC-VC can monitor receiver status locally and remotely. Continuous level and temperature readings are sent to the SLC-VC enabling it to perform various functions such as display status, read level set points, signal alarms, control pumps and control a make-up valve.
Features
- Live Graphical and Numeric indication for water level, temperature, and Vacuum Pressure via Shipco® Transmitter, Vacuum Transmitter, Temperature limit switch.
- Operates 1-2 Vacuum Pumps and 1-2 Condensate Pumps.
- Condensate pumps turn on at high level and off at low level
- Vacuum Pumps turn on at low vacuum (high psia) and off at high vacuum (low psia)
- Alternating control —Automatically changes lead pump on each cycle
- Manual control—Lead-Off-Lag selector switch
- Test button bypasses control sequence to energize pumps until button is released
- Pump graphics change color to indicate status status (Green = ON, Red = FAULT, Grey = INACTIVE).
- Run Cycle Timers with manual reset
- Failure indication and protection.
- High water alarm indicates overflow
- Low water alarm indicates leaking tank
- High temperature alarm indicates traps failed open
- High temperature shutoff protects pumps from cavitation
- Automatically adds cooling water to maintain operating temperature (Optional)
- Makeup switch adds water to Vacuum Hurling Chamber
- Alarm ledger automatically logs any irregular operating conditions
- Loss of sensor signal indicators
- Specific communication protocol with remote control override capability.
- Factory programmed for the operating conditions of each unit.
