MAINTAIN - Simply pull up through the cleaning bracket on a service visit, no electrical/ICA skills required
-
No moving parts, no tangling or stiffening of multiple float cables reducing flooding and eliminating pump run on
-
No specialist skills required to install or maintain. No laptops or apps as no programming or configuration required
-
Unaffected by fat, grease or foaming, works in heavy sludge
-
No witches hats to trip over and cumbersome rods to handle, everything in the well or culvert with one cable through the duct to the control panel
-
10 year warranty, virtually unbreakable design
'The best pump in the world is only as good as it's control system'
FOGRod is a multi-electrode conductivity probe designed by ex-MultiTrode Australia Engineers to directly replace the discontinued Xylem MultiTrode level probe. FOGRod design improvements over the MultiTrode probe include being unbreakable if dropped plus has a smaller diameter more flexible screened cable to protect against electrical interference.
Designed specifically for the water industry to deliver resilience and reliability by monitoring the level of water and wastewater effluent very simply and effectively.
Excellent solution for where space is limited. Hawker probes won't fit? Ball floats aren't suitable? Non-contact not an option? FOGRod is the answer.
Reduce call outs, reduce energy usage, reduce installation costs, increase safety as NO confined space entry EVER required

FOGRod Control System Interface Examples
Example 1: 10 ELECTRODE FOGRod Analogue or Digital interface
10 Electrode FOGRod + Liquid Indicator Transmitter (LIT)
-
LIT designed specifically for use with FOGRod to replace float switches OR analogue devices such as ultrasonics, radar, hydrostatics etc
-
Bright 10 LED liquid level indication
-
10 x SPCO relay outputs - 1 per electrode
-
1 x 4-14mA analogue output signal (1mA per sensor)
-
24V DC supply MAX 4W so easily battery backed to provide crucial remote site information such as effluent level during mains fail events
-
2 failsafe relay alarm outputs (cable cut, wiring error, cleaning required)
-
Wide sensitivity range (up to 200K Ohms) to extend use to very low conductivity water applications
-
FOGRod and LIT directly replaces old products such as the MultiTrode probe and MTIC
LIT - Liquid Indicator Transmitter
Example 2: 3, 5 and 10 ELECTRODE Ball Float Replacement
Retrofit Box + FOGRod to easily replace ball floats
-
Quickly replace 2, 3 or 4 float switches without modifying the control panel
-
230V mains powered IP65 Retrofit Box all pre-wired
-
Uses LLR-240 conductive level relays for ultra safe electrode voltage (<10V AC)
-
2m of supply cable
-
2m of 8 core (4 pairs) for direct connection to replace 2, 3 or 4 float switches
-
Each pair marked to connect direct into existing panel float switch terminals
-
Choose 3 electrode FOGRod to replace 2 ball float systems
-
Choose 5 or 10 electrode FOGRod to replace 3 or 4 ball float systems
Example 3: FOGRod as redundancy in a UK Water Utility Pump Station
3 Electrode FOGRod with 2 x Liquid Level Relays
-
Low cost, simple technology for redundant pump control and high level alarm
-
No moving parts, no ball float to tangle up or cables to stiffen from movement
-
All installation and maintenance from above, NO confined space entry EVER required
