Applications:
    
The Onyx Smart Box protects pumps (especially progressing cavity pumps) from damage caused by run-dry or over pressure conditions. It can be combined with our Isolator Ring for dependable operation on viscous, abrasive, corrosive, or volatile fluids, suspensions and slurries.

How It Works:
    
The Smart Box is a pre-programmed micro-processor based controller. It monitors a 2 point pressure switch to insure that pumps stay within design limits.
     If pump pressure goes too high, the Smart Box stops the pump, sounds the alarm, and the "High" lamp comes on. The Smart Box prohibits restarting until the over pressure condition is corrected.
     If the pump runs dry, discharge pressure falls below the low threshold. The Smart Box stops the pump, sounds the alarm, and the "Low" light comes on. The Smart Box allows the pump a 'grace period' for priming each start up.
     The Smart Box features built in filtering to avoid nuisance trips caused by short duration pressure spikes or dips.
     With the optional Seal Flush Package, the Smart Box turns on the seal flush solenoid valve and verifies seal flow before starting the pump motor. At shut down, the Smart Box delays turning off the seal flush until the pump has coasted down to a complete stop. If seal water stops during pump operation, the Smart Box stops the pump, sounds the alarm, and the 'Seal' light comes on.

Operation:
    
The Smart Box has 2 buttons on its face: Start and Stop. The STOP button is a 2 position, maintained button.
     To start the pump, pull the 'Stop button out, and press 'Start'. A green RUN button lights when the pump is running.
     To stop the pump, press STOP.
     To enable the Smart Box to respond to remote commands, pull the STOP button out, but do not press START. A READY lamp illuminates to signal that it is ready to start. Pushing the STOP button blocks local and remote 'start' commands.

Available Configurations:
The Smart Box can be ordered either of three ways:

A - Logic Only
