The ELHART EPL1 multifunction pump controller is designed to control a group of two or three pumps using dry-contact sensors (for example, pressure switches) and/or NPN sensors.
The EPL1 controller is used in Duty/Standby pump systems with automatic changeover. It can also operate as a symmetrical reversing timer for forward and reverse rotation of mixers, fans, conveyor drives, and other actuators.
