Water Reservoir Pump Control

A common application for license free telemetry is to transfer a single level measurement from a reservoir or water tower back to a pump/lift station for the purpose of pump control. This can be for a standalone control application in a water system with no centralized SCADA monitoring system or it could be a application where it is desired that pump control be independent of the SCADA system. In one such application, a pair of SCADALink Radios were used in end-to-end mode to telemeter water level 1/2 mile away from a pumpstation where a a PLC starts and stops pumps based on the reservoir level.
