Bilge Pump Operations Counter – non contact
$290.00
Bilge Pump Operations Counter is a vital contact-less sensor which senses each operation of a vessels Bilge Pump to alert the vessel owner/operator if this operation is excessive.
A vessel may be afloat simply because its Bilge Pump is working hard and soon may fail. If the bilge of your vessel is dry each time you check you may never know of this danger.
The Bilge Pump Operations Counter senses how many times the pump operates and also records the total length of time it is running. You can check this any time with your mobile phone.
Excess Bilge Pump operations may indicate a serious leak below the water line.
The Bilge Pump Operations Counter can be affixed to the top or side of most 12V, 24V or 48V electric bilge pumps or cable tied to its electrical cabling. The sensor detects the pump turning on by detecting its tiny radiated EMF. It is usually wired to the vessels Trek Transponder.
Trek Transponder’s manufactured after March 2023 contain a function allowing either of the PIR1 or PIR2 inputs to be configured as a “counter” input. Each time the bilge pump turns ON the Trek Transponder counts it and you can view the count any time by SMS. You can also view the total ON time. Trek Transponders manufactured earlier than March 2023 will still allow you to install the sensor and see bilge pump operations but have no counting function. This must be done manually.
In the example SMS PIR1 of the boats Trek Transponder has been configured as a Bilge Pump Counter named PumpOps1 and results are included in the Status report. The bilge pump in the example has operated 5 times and for a total of 24 minutes since the count was last reset. This boat has a risky leak problem. Battery 1 is also losing charge because of the excess pump operation. Without a Trek Transponder and Bilge Pump Operations Counter you may be totally unaware of this looming problem.
