Introduction

1 Designed with you in mind...

The ACMU is configured deliberately to provide customers the ver-

satility they require for existing systems or those in development.

The in-built motor/pump assembly and automatic monitoring prod-

uct (ICM) can be wired directly, allowing control through a wide

range of communication protocol and logic controllers. A small

footprint and lifting eyes make it the ideal solution for safe instal-

lation on new or retrofit applications. A wide range of operating

voltages allow us to support a global market, and emerging tech-

nologies.
