The Davey Remote Start Firefighter® is our intelligent remote start Firefighter, offering security and peace-of-mind, to eliminate travel to a remotely located pump. Activated by SMS, the Remote Start Firefighter provides options to start and stop manually, automatically on a timer, or remotely via an SMS service. The pump can be controlled using input sensors connected to it, for example – if using float sensor, the pump starts or stops when the tank water level is low or high respectively. Other inputs that might turn the pump off are manual start/stop, loss of prime, or a pressure switch.
The Davey Remote Start Firefighter Mark II offers unparalleled convenience and performance for firefighting, external sprinkler systems, irrigation, and high-head water transfer. Designed for versatile remote or automatic operation, it is an excellent choice for protecting properties in bushfire-prone areas or managing remote pumping needs.
