Starting a Pump Based on Well Level with a Senquip Device
APN0008 | Revision 1.1 | November 17, 2025
Senquip devices are increasingly used to control and monitor diesel, solar, and electric pumps in remote and industrial environments. This application note describes two ways to automate pump operation based on water level: the legacy settings-only method and the more flexible and powerful script-based method using Senquip mJS. The settings approach is simple and effective for basic start/stop control, while the script-based method enables advanced behaviour such as sensor fault detection, dry-run protection, run-hour estimation, dynamic logic, and multi-sensor integration. The scripting examples provided demonstrate how to use calibrated level data, implement hysteresis, detect pump and sensor faults, and allow operators to start or stop the pump remotely. A full, logically structured example script is included to help integrators quickly deploy reliable control on any Senquip ORB or QUAD device. Although the examples focus on pumps, the methods apply broadly to any simple automation task where a device is switched based on sensor feedback.
