Jason,
I've built quite a few myself and normally have the spec written on the back of a smoke packet! Find out what the system is meant to do and the equipment that the panel supplies/controls. I'm more than willing to help you with this and if given the info, will supply drawings using autocad. A good tip is to get your panel gear from Home - Cablecraft - Cable Identification and Cabling Accessories which I have found is the cheapest and the best. Any switchgear or controlgear should be sourced from Farnell / Electronic Component Distributors / Suppliers / Electronics, Electrical Parts, Electrical Components and Wholesale Electronics. which again, are far cheaper than RS. Regards, Dan.

PS. Also try www.cpcwarehouse.com

Jason.s have you got any detail as to what is required and ideals on how you want to go about it. i can also do drawings on a wiring package if it helps.

PS no cost incured

Hi Andy,

Thanks very much for the kind offer!

I may well take you up on that.

I have yet to go and see the job as it is some way away from me.

Hopefully going to get up there in a couple of weeks to get an idea.

Not entirely sure on finer details but it may involve a variable speed pump and drive along with tank float switch, rain switch, programmer etc.

Cheers
J

Schneider do some micro plcs for a very reasonable price, and above all the software to program them is free !.

Jason, you don't say where your based.

It sounds interesting. Do you have a rough idea as to the size and number of pumps, control valves etc.

From past experience you may have to add a fair bit to the design, I’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve had to have valves added to a system to cope with silly things like priming

Hi Jason, I would also consider helping, as long as there is an abandoned barn!! with some Oxy-acetylene a grinder and some welding gear and a shed load of duct tape!! But seriously if you need anything and we can help we will.
