Sump Pump Remote Monitoring Systems and Methods

摘要

Systems and methods for sump pump remote monitoring can include control circuitry integrated into a portable housing, with a backup sump pump connected to the control circuitry. The control circuitry can be powered by a line power and when the line power is not available, the control circuitry can be powered by a battery power. The control circuitry can be connected to a control panel, and the control circuitry can include a pressure transducer, the pressure transducer to measure a pressure in a fluid level sensor, and based on the measured pressure, the control circuitry to adjust the speed of the backup sump pump. A wireless controller can be connected to the control circuitry, the wireless controller for wirelessly receiving monitoring instructions and wirelessly transmitting backup sump pump status data, with the control circuitry providing an indication of the backup sump pump status data to the control panel.

主权项

1. A fluid level sensor remote monitoring system comprising:
an inverted cup with a sealed top and an open bottom, the inverted cup defining an inner air space and having an inner pressure; an inner pressure tube extending from the inner air space and through the sealed top, the inner pressure tube connected to a pressure line connector; an ambient pressure tube including an open end, the open end being positioned near the sealed top, the ambient pressure tube connected to the pressure line connector; a control box to monitor the inner pressure from the inner pressure tube and the ambient pressure from the ambient pressure tube, the pressure line connector connectable to the control box; and the control box including a wireless controller, a pressure transducer, and a switch, the wireless controller for wirelessly receiving monitoring instructions and wirelessly transmitting status data, the pressure transducer to measure the inner pressure and the ambient pressure, and based upon the measured inner pressure and the measured ambient pressure, to activate the switch.
