Starting a Pump Based on Well Level Using an ORB‑X1

APN0008  |  Revision 1.0  |  April 18, 2024

This note demonstrates how to automate pump control using level feedback from a Senquip ORB‑X1. It explains connecting analog or Modbus level sensors, wiring to relay outputs, and scripting logic to start or stop a pump based on user‑defined thresholds. Hysteresis and delay functions are implemented to prevent rapid cycling, and example scripts show configurable high‑ and low‑level triggers. The document also covers alarm setup on the Senquip Portal for SMS or email notifications when levels exceed safe limits. Power‑management tips ensure reliable operation even on solar‑powered systems. When applied, this method provides an efficient closed‑loop water management solution for irrigation, borehole, and dewatering applications, combining automation with full remote visibility.
