EMOTRON PSP20 SIZING CHART
Use this chart for sizing other units.
In December 2007 the Virginia Graeme Baker Pool & Spa Safety Act was signed, mandating that, in addition to an approved drain cover, all single main drain public swimming pools and spas must have a secondary protective device such as an
automatic pump shut-off system installed.
The Solution
Use the Emotron PSP20 as a simple, cost effective secondary shut-off device to prevent swimming pool and spa entrapment. Using the existing pump motor as a sensor, the PSP20 will reliably detect a swimmer blocking the suction drain and quickly shut off the pump. The PSP20 accurately monitors motor power to either single or 3-phase pumps.
Alternative mechanical solutions such as SVRS are labor intensive to install and maintain, and typically require modifications to the plumbing.
The PSP20 uses the existing Pump Motor as a sensor to protect swimmers from the horrifi c injuries and loss of life caused by pool & spa entrapment. When a spa or swimming pool pump experiences a loss of suction caused by the drain being blocked, the PSP20 detects a signifi can't drop in motor load and shuts the pump off within 1 second.
Virginia Graeme Baker Act
Over the past two decades, there have been 147 documented incidents and 36 deaths caused by Entrapment in Swimming Pools and Spas. In December 2007, the President signed into law the Virginia Graeme Baker Act, requiring public pool and spa operators to install specific safety devices to prevent further injury and loss of life. Facilities having a single main suction outlet or two or more outlets within 3 feet of each other are required to have a second layer of antientrapment protection; the PSP20 is an approved device. Full details of the requirements of the Act can be found at the Consumer Product Safety Commission’s website: www.poolsafety.gov
Simply Saving Lives!
Using the existing pump motor as a sensor, Emotron’s patented Shaft Power Monitoring technology will reliably detect a swimmer blocking the suction drain and quickly shut off the pump. The PSP20 accurately monitors motor power to either single-phase or three-phase pumps. Alternative mechanical solutions such as vacuum-based SVRS are labor-intensive to install, maintain, and require modifi cations to the plumbing.
Simple to install
The PSP20 is supplied as a fully-assembled control panel designed to be installed between an existing pump control panel and the pump motor. Installation typically takes less than one hour - with just one trade skill, an electrician.
Simple to set up
Once installed, programming the PSP20 takes just minutes. The Motor’s HP, Full Load Amps, and the number of phases are the only parameters needing to be set. Once the pump is operating in normal conditions, calibration takes just 3 seconds! Providing the pool’s fi ltration equipment and pump are correctly maintained, we guarantee no false alarms. Before selecting your supplier, we recommend that you ask them to commit to the same standard!
Filter Backwash / Pool Cleaning
Unlike SVRS-based principles, the PSP20 is impervious to the eff ects of fi lter backwashing and pool vacuuming. There is no need to disable the PSP20’s protection during these activities - thereby eliminating another layer of system complexity and at the same time, maintaining
entrapment protection 100% of the time.
CAUTION
Compliance in One Hour!
Important Notes:
1. H2fl ow recommends that you review all relevant published Federal and State publications prior to installing any device intended to protect against pool and spa entrapment.
2. It is the pool operator’s responsibility to frequently check the system’s operation.
3. Equipment must be installed (i) by a qualifi ed technician within the trade required for installation, (ii) in compliance with the
manufacturer’s and/or distributor’s instructions and/or installation manual, and (iii) without modifi cation of any kind to the
equipment or to the installation instructions and or protocol. Buyer will operate the equipment (i) under normal conditions
specifi ed for it (ii) for the purpose, and within the operating limits for which it is designed and specifi ed, and (iii) without
misuse, abuse or neglect. Buyer shall properly and timely conduct all maintenance, testing and inspections of the equipment recommended in the instructions, and all safety mechanisms and devices shall be in place and in operation at all times, without modifi cation.
4. Pool & Spa Filters, Strainers and Pumps must be corectly maintained in order to avoid false alarms.
Pump Prime Time
In instances where the pool pump may require an extended period to re-prime itself (e.g., after the pool has been drained or when the pump has been disassembled), the pool operator may extend the PSP20’s ‘Motor Start Delay’ time. The preset time is 180 seconds. Once this
time period has expired, entrapment protection will be automatically enabled.
UL Listing
Many regions of the USA insist that products having greater than 27 Volts applied to them must be listed to UL standards. The PSP20 is listed to UL508A.
