Technical Specifications

• Connectivity: WiFi 802.11 b/g/n
• Power Supply: AC 120v/220v, 50 Hz or 60 Hz compatible
• Maximum Load Capacity: 14 amps (using 2oz copper)
• Control Interface: Mobile and web app
• Integration: Compatible with WiFi Water Level S1 V2

IPC-2221 compliance and calculations for pump line part:

AC line used by water pump, use 3mm trace width, that dependign on copper thickness, will allow 14 amps.

for more than 14 amps will need replace components, like the relay and others that only support 15 amps.

Note: The calculations and recommendations provided are based on IPC-2221 standards for reference only. Please conduct your own calculations to ensure compliance with safety and performance requirements. I disclaim any liability for inaccuracies or errors in these calculations.

Conclusion

The WiFi Water Pump Controller offers a sophisticated solution for managing and automating water pump operations. Its seamless integration with the WiFi Water Level S1, combined with its remote control capabilities, ecological benefits, and open hardware/software approach, makes it an essential tool for efficient and sustainable water management. Whether for residential, agricultural, or industrial use, this controller ensures reliable and precise water system management.
