APPLICATION: PUMPS AND MOTORS

The cheapest first step: read the fault contacts you already have

Most pumps and motors already have status and fault contacts. They just have no way to be seen from off-site. RACO bolts on and turns those contacts into status, run-time, and alarms you can read from anywhere.

Run and fail status

Digital run and fail contacts turned into off-site status and alarms.

Run-time and cycles

Run-time totalizing and short-cycle detection to flag a pump working too hard.

Current draw

4-20 mA current as an early sign of a bearing, seal, or load problem.

Discharge pressure and flow

4-20 mA pressure and flow to see performance, not just on and off.

Power loss

Utility power-loss detection so a dead panel does not sit unnoticed.

Lead and lag control

Relay outputs to start and stop lead or lag pumps and alternate duty.

1. Mount and wire

Install the Gen2 in your panel and land your field signals on the spring-clamp terminals: floats, transducers, flow meters, pump status.

2. Cloud configuration

Register the device in the RACO Monitoring Center, then set channels, alarm thresholds, and your notification and escalation groups from any browser.

3. Get alerted

Receive voice, text, or email alerts with escalation. Cellular delivers first; satellite steps in if a cellular alarm isn't confirmed within 2 minutes.

Applications

What is the minimum I need to start?

Just the fault and run contacts your pump already has. Land those on the Gen2 digital inputs and you have off-site status, run-time, and alarms. You can add analog current, pressure, or flow later on the same device.

Does it require network or IT configuration?

Not for standard deployments. There is no LAN access, no user IP configuration, and no inbound ports. Optional PLC and industrial-protocol integration (EtherNet/IP, Modbus TCP) is planned for a future release.

Is the Verbatim Gen2 a traditional SCADA system?

No. Its better!

It is a dedicated monitoring and alarm-notification device that supplements your existing operational systems. If you want remote monitoring, basic process control, or intuitive visualization, but you don't want all the cost, time, and complexity of a SCADA system, you'll love it. If you want sub-second PID loops and demanding ladder logic, you should consider a more traditional SCADA system.

Does it guarantee alarm delivery?

No. Notifications are best-effort and depend on factors outside RACO's control, including carrier networks and site conditions. The cellular-plus-satellite design adds a second delivery path, but you should keep local safeguards and response procedures in place.

What happens if connectivity is lost?

The device keeps monitoring inputs and running alarm logic locally, and it queues events to send when connectivity returns. It also includes a connectivity-loss alert so you know if a device stops checking in.

Which cellular carrier does it use?

A multi-carrier embedded SIM selects the best available network automatically (carriers such as AT&T, Verizon, Rogers, and Bell, by location and signal). No carrier setup is required at install.

Is the satellite the same as Starlink?

No. The Gen2 uses low-bandwidth satellite messaging on the Skylo network to transmit alarm and telemetry data. It is not broadband internet and does not require a dish or router.
