Thompson Pump control panel can be used remotely

The new Recon2000T control panel with enhanced functions using interactive technology from dewatering pump manufacturer Thompson Pump, Port Orange, Florida, allows for remote pump control and monitoring. The control panel is designed to allow workers to operate the pump and supervise performance from a smartphone, laptop, desktop computer or any other device with internet access.

Thompson Pump debuted its new Recon control panel at the recent ConExpo-Con/Agg in Las Vegas in March 2016 with daily live demos showcasing the new technology, which included a live video feed of a Thompson pump in Port Orange, Florida, being controlled by the panel.

“We’re thrilled with the response we’re getting from the Recon2000T,” says Bobby Zitzka, sales manager for Thompson Pump. “We launched this new panel to meet the changing needs of our customers. Thompson Pump works tirelessly to stay at the forefront of technology. This is another example of our commitment to be the industry’s best.”

The Recon2000T uses cellular and satellite networks and comes Wi-Fi ready. It gives operators informational access and control over the pump unit with the ability to remotely monitor the unit, record data and vary speed. The dashboard displays all the same pump and engine data as it appears on the Recon2000T control panel on-site. If there’s a problem with the pump or engine, the Recon2000T can even be setup to notify an employee on their internet-activated device.
