Embodiment Construction

[0007] While this invention is susceptible of embodiment in many different forms, there are shown in the drawing and will be described herein in detail specific embodiments thereof with the understanding that the present disclosure is to be considered as an exemplification of the principles of the invention and is not intended to limit the invention to the specific embodiments illustrated.

[0008] Embodiments of the invention remotely monitor one or more pump units. Monitoring can be effected wirelessly within a building. Alternately, the wireless communication can be via computer network, such as the Internet to and from a location displaced an arbitrary distance from the location of any of the pump units.

[0009] In one aspect of the invention, a monitoring device can be located at each of a group of pump control systems. The monitoring device can include one or more sensors which respond to pump related conditions.

[0010] Pump related conditions can include status oriented informat...

Abstract

A plurality of pump related monitoring devices can communicate wirelessly with displaced user circuits. The user circuits can in turn acquire data via a respective monitoring device associated with a pump, pump control system, pump motor, backup batteries and the like all without limitations. If desired, the user circuits can carry out a polling process relative to a plurality of monitoring devices.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATION [0001] This application claims the benefit of the filing date of U.S. Provisional Patent Application Ser. No. 60 / 603,015 filed Aug. 19, 2004 and entitled “Wireless Communication System”.FIELD OF THE INVENTION [0002] The invention pertaining to devices for monitoring the status of pumps and for forwarding status information to a common location. More particularly, the invention pertains to such devices where the forwarding process is implemented, at least in part, wirelessly. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0003] Systems that maintain fluids at predetermined levels or flow rates find application in many different types of commercial or business installations. These include controlling fluid levels in pumps, storage tanks or other types of reservoirs. In cooling or heating systems it can be important to maintain fluids at predetermined rates or pressures. [0004] Many known control systems connect sensor outputs to control elements via cables. Such h...
