Leverage the power of your SubMonitor with the Franklin Electric D3

Posted on by James Hall

The SubMonitor is designed to protect three-phase pumps by monitoring current, voltage and motor temperature. It has protected many pumps from ultimately failing. With the D3, you can download the data from the SubMonitor’s data logging memory. It’s amazing what you can learn about an installation.

Franklin Electric’s D3 is a communications and data management product that allows you to download data from the SubMonitor and upload to a PC.

Knowing exactly what went wrong can make all the difference when it comes to troubleshooting a water system installation. For example, we know that many installers have had disputes with the power company when unpredictable power causes motor problems. Many times you are left with no evidence to prove that motor damage was caused by a power outage. With the downloaded data from the SubMonitor, you have the cold hard facts, thanks to the D3.

To download data from your SubMonitor, simply disconnect the display head unit from the base unit, plug it into the “RJ” connector of the D3, and push the on/off button. Connect the D3 to your PC to download the data. The download will be in an Excel *.CSV and/or *.XLS format and may be used for graphing, or you can print out the files of event history to show your customer.

D3 Included items:

  • D3 Unit
  • D3 Software
  • USB Connector Cable
  • Installation Instructions

System requirements:

  • Windows XP or Vista Version 1.4 – 6.5MB

Key Dealers – Spread the Word about MonoDrive!

Do your customers know about the MonoDrive constant pressure option? One of the most exciting products in Franklin’s constant pressure systems portfolio is MonoDrive, which allows you to retrofit constant pressure to existing 3-wire installations. To help you spread the word, take a look at the promotion tools we offer.

THE MAILER

The Mailer is a direct-mail piece that you can mail to homeowners in your trade area. There is space available for your own message or company information. This piece can stand on its own as a postcard, or it can be used as an invoice stuffer to remind your customer that he can upgrade an existing 3-wire standard system to a constant pressure system. 

Either way you use it, you get the message out and get customers to start calling you!

THE DOOR HANGER

Get the neighbors to jump on the bandwagon. While you are at an installation, why not promote constant pressure with the neighbors?  There’s a good chance that they are just as interested in having constant pressure from the well as their neighbor and would be glad to hear that there is a solution for low water pressure. Pre-cut and ready to go, all you have to do is slip this piece over a door handle.
