Abstract

See full text

An electronic pump selector system uses a programmable processor to select one of a plurality of pumps to be energized in response to an appropriate feedback signal from the selected pump. A current limited feedback circuit is incorporated which provides a varying voltage in response to a level switch associated with a selected pump indicating a high fluid level. In response to the voltage feedback signal, the selected pump is energized for a predetermined period of time. Subsequently, another pump is selected. The next selected pump is energized also for a predetermined period of time in response to a varying voltage feedback signal therefrom. The next pump is then selected and the sequence continued.
