ControlMate FM

Pressure Management System

Pressure control is the simplest and most immediate method of reducing leakage. However, without electronic control, a PRV (Pressure Reducing Valve) must be set up to ensure a guaranteed minimum pressure to the critical (usually highest) point in the network under “worst case” maximum flow conditions. During periods of lower flow, this set up leads to higher pressures than are necessary. Active pressure management using PRV controllers enables pressure to be optimized with changing demand.

ControlMate-FM allows the pressure into a zone to be continually adjusted to any desired value, which is intelligently calculated by the controller according to the zone’s actual demand (flow modulation) or according to a pre-programmed time of day.

The ControlMate range enables the outlet pressure of a PRV to be controlled reliably and safely.
