Air-Powered Data Module How it Works

The AutoPump^® Data Module is mounted in series at each well head after the air supply and before the AutoPump. During operation, compressed air is supplied to the Data Module via an air-in quick-connect. (The optional Air Inlet Supply Gauge shows the supply pressure before entering any of the Module's internal components.) The compressed air first passes through a filter/regulator that allows air pressure adjustment, filters the air to 5 microns, and automatically drains condensate build-up in the air supply line.

The Pump Cycle Counter, mounted after the filter/regulator, passes compressed air to the pump. In a piston-like action, the internally located magnet slide, moves forward (in the direction of air flow) during the on cycle and returns to a seated position in the off cycle. The digital display senses the completion of this to-and-fro movement and records the cycle, increasing the number by one digit (which is shown through the digital display). This process repeats itself for each pump cycle.

The level sensor regulator & gauge, mounted after the pump cycle counter, displays the air pressure available to the level indicator, and the air flow meter displays the amount of air being consumed by the level indicator in SCFH.

This level indicator, which is connected to a down-well pneumatic sensor, measures water column pressure in inches above its outlet in the well (e.g., fluid intake of pump) and has an "On/Off" switch that allows measurement only when required, reducing energy costs.
