Pump House Security That Stops Theft Before The Damage Happens
Pump houses on farms have increasingly become targets for thieves due to the substantial amounts of copper and brass they contain.
Often located several kilometers away, these outbuildings can take over 20 minutes to reach. Making them ideal targets for those seeking a quick cash grab.
Transformers, brass housings, and copper cables are usually the first items to be stolen, resulting in thousands of rands in damage with hours, if not days, of downtime.
To address this issue, Fine Automation has collaborated with farmers across South Africa to develop the Pump House Protector.
This innovative security solution features a semi-wireless automatic pepper spray alarm that sends real-time alerts when a break-in occurs.
Key Features:
- Modern Mobile App: Arm, disarm, and create panic alerts remotely.
- Immediate Response: If an intruder enters while armed, the siren and LED will activate, and notifications will be sent.
- Motion Sensors: If the intruder continues inside and triggers the motion sensors, the automatic pepper gas slave will release a burst of pepper spray.
- Reinforced Security: Repeated triggers will activate additional bursts of gas, ensuring that help arrives on-site before any damage can occurs.
This system goes beyond protection. It can evolve into a comprehensive pump automation solution.
It enables automatic starting and stopping of pumps based on tank water levels, or when a pivot/spilpunt is turned on or off.
Automation boosts efficiency and adds safety by monitoring unusual behavior or unexpected operations.
The Pump House Protector can be tailored to fit different building sizes, layouts, and security needs.
Whether it’s a compact brick structure or a larger pump station, the system adapts to the environment rather than using a one-size-fits-all model.
