The following pages contain information on multiple unit systems that will used
when installing and servicing the system.
Use these pages in conjunction with other applicable guides.
The OWL multiple unit system is an automated control system for the control of dental utility room equipment
from a centralized location, convenient to the dental office staff. The system automatically responds to demand so
that clinicians always have the power they need for safe, effortless operation while minimizing energy consumption
and hardware use.
Multiple units automatically selected to run by the computer minimize electrical consumption by operating
according to demand. Multiple pumps offer the advantage of extending service life by reducing the operating hours of
any one pump. Multiplexing inherently adds to backup capacity by decreasing dependency on any one device.
The Owl Controller requires a 12V DC power source to operate. On most systems, power can be provided by
an S1 Electrols or C1 Controller already in the system. On systems without an S1 or C1, a wall transformer provides
power for the OWL Controller.
In the system, the OWL is connected to one of the
S1 Electrols
mounted to one of the vacuum units or to one
of the
C1 Controls
mounted to one of the CustomAir
by RAMVAC
compressors. The system is turned on and off from the
OWL panel and automatically selects the pump with the lowest run-time.
With a 15 to 120 second period of “constant low pressure”, an adjustable pressure switch signals the
microprocessor to turn on units as needed to maintain desired vacuum strength. After the system returns to a
constant “normal vacuum strength” for a period of 15 minutes, unneeded power units are shut down. This “alternation
with record keeping” makes sure your pumps get used evenly with no individual pump working longer than the others.
When using the OWL with generic (other than RAMVAC) units, including vacuum pumps, air compressors,
or water valves, a RAMVAC Interface Control has to be used. It has the ability to communicate with the OWL to start
and stop the generic units but does not have the ability to collect any data. Therefore, for these units the OWL be-
comes a start/stop switch.
