ISO and Safety CertifiedPUMPSMARTPumpSmart is the latest advancement in pump control and protection to reduceenergy consumption, increase uptime and decrease maintenance cost. It allows thepump to be right-sized to the application by dialing in the speed and torque whichincreases flow economy, reduces heat and vibration, and improves overall system reliability. Simplified Pump Control — PumpSmart was designed specifically to optimizepumping applications and can be used to control a single pump or coordinatebetween multiple pumps without the need for an external controller. Pump Protection — PumpSmart guarantees to protect the pump from upsetconditions with patented sensorless pump protection algorithms. Smart Flow — PumpSmart features a sensorless flow function for centrifugalpumps that can calculate the flow of the pump within 5% of the pump rated flow. Drive for the DCS — While most VFDs can only provide basic information,PumpSmart offers unparalleled insight to the pump operation which allows forsmoother process control and efficiency. Pump Experts — PumpSmart is a variable speed drive with pump-specificalgorithms imbedded into the drive. With over 150 years of pump knowledge,let the pump experts take responsibility of your pump system.Visit our Web site at www.gouldspumps.comForm B3171/CV3171 10/08 2008 Goulds Pumps, IncorporatedA subsidiary of ITT Corporation, Inc.
