[The most common ways to divert are valves and pumps. They
can be provided in most any size and configuration. We have provided
a list of the most common configurations "LAYOUTS" in the Products
page,
under "LAYOUTS". Remember, this is only a guide and many many other options
are available. ]
[If your runoff is contained in piping we just need to know the
size, type and end configuration (plain end, flanged..) of your
piping. If your runoff goes into a sump or other containment area
calculate the most runoff per hour, min.... Be sure to include any
runoff that may be coming from other buildings, or roof top possibly
from downspouts and rain gutters.]
[The STORMController is typically housed in a NEMA 4X enclosure
and as such can be mounted outdoors in most environments. It can be
rained on, splashed and even washed down but it can not be
submerged. You should take care in finding a place that it is
accessible.]
[This certainly depends on the type of STORMSwitch you selected
for your particular EVENT indication. The most popular STORMSwitch
is the RCS (Rain Collector Switch). If the RCS is selected it must
have a clear view of the sky above.]
[This is completely up to you. Most regulators consider a STORM
EVENT 1/10th of 1" of rainfall in a 1 hour period however, you may
consider other indicators as to when you would want to divert E.G.
The level in a sump reaches a high point, The flow of water from a
hydrant in a wash area or even when trucks arrive in a sensitive
area? ]
[Absolutely! In most cases you have the choice to have only a
manual reset to normal or automatic reset with the option of a
manual reset and the timing or delay for the automatic reset can be
changed in the field to suit your requirements .]
[In most cases the power requirements can be tailored to what you
have available! By and large we find 110 VAC at less than 20 amps is
more than sufficient.]
[ATTITUDE TECHNOLOGY was built on special requirements. Our
system are built flexible so even changes unforeseen in the future
have special allowances built into the system. Tell us about your
application in that planning phase and learn from our decades of
experience.]
