Alderon Industries is expanding its proven Duplexor™ product line with the introduction of the new Duplexor WiFi, combining dependable alternating pump control with integrated remote monitoring through Alderon’s VizzySite™ platform.
The original Duplexor has provided a compact and reliable way to control two pumps while promoting balanced pump wear. The new WiFi-connected model builds on that proven design, giving property owners, installers, and service providers greater visibility into system performance—from virtually anywhere.
Reliable Duplex Pump Control
The Duplexor WiFi is designed to alternate two 120 VAC pumps rated up to ½ HP and 12 amps each. During normal operation, the controller automatically switches between Pump 1 and Pump 2 with each pumping cycle, balancing runtime and helping extend the life of the overall pumping system.
If the liquid reaches the high-level sensor, the Duplexor activates its alarm and can start both pumps simultaneously, provided their combined current draw remains below 12 amps. If the combined load exceeds 12 amps, the controller intelligently alternates the pumps to help prevent an overload condition.
The Duplexor WiFi also provides redundant pump activation when connected to separate pump-start and high-level sensors. This allows the high-level sensor to serve as a backup pump-start input if the primary sensor fails or cannot keep up with incoming flow.
Connected Through VizzySite™
The most significant advancement is the addition of built-in WiFi connectivity to Alderon’s VizzySite remote monitoring platform.
Instead of relying solely on someone being present to hear an alarm, the Duplexor WiFi allows system information and alarm conditions to be monitored remotely from a smartphone, tablet, or computer. This provides greater awareness and allows potential problems to be addressed sooner—before they become larger and more expensive service events.
Every Duplexor WiFi includes a prepaid one-year VizzySite remote monitoring subscription. After the first year, full monitoring is available for $50 annually. Customers may also select Vizzy Free, a $0.00 subscription option that provides remote alarm monitoring.
Advanced Monitoring and Diagnostics
The Duplexor WiFi goes beyond basic pump alternation with built-in system monitoring and diagnostic capabilities, including:
- Remote alarm monitoring through VizzySite
- Built-in digital amp meter
- Separate Pump 1 and Pump 2 run indicators
- Pump alarm and error detection
- High-water alarm monitoring
- Lifetime pump run event counter
- OLED system information display
- Programmable system settings
- Rechargeable battery backup for alarm operation
- Auxiliary dry contacts for connection to an external alarm or building automation system
- Visual WiFi connection and system-status indicators
The rechargeable battery backup keeps the alarm and monitoring functions operational during a power outage, providing an additional layer of protection. The battery does not operate the pumps.
Flexible Sensor Options
The Duplexor WiFi can be paired with either:
- A non-moving dual-sensor probe with separate pump-start and high-level sensing points
- Two Alderon Altra Gold™ control switches for pump-start and high-level detection
This flexibility allows the controller to be configured for different installation preferences and application requirements.
Compact Design, Powerful Capabilities
Unlike a traditional duplex control panel, the Duplexor WiFi provides alternating pump control, high-level alarm functionality, amperage monitoring, system diagnostics, battery backup, and cloud connectivity in a compact indoor enclosure.
Standard features include:
- Two 120 VAC pump receptacles
- ½ HP, 12-amp motor-load rating
- Six-foot, 120 VAC power cord
- OLED display and menu keypad
- Test and silence pushbutton
- Audible alarm
- Auxiliary alarm contacts
- FCC Part 15 and CSA certification for the United States and Canada
- Three-year limited warranty
The Duplexor WiFi offers a practical upgrade for applications that need the reliability of two pumps without the size and complexity of a traditional duplex control panel. By combining automatic alternation, intelligent pump control, system diagnostics, and affordable remote monitoring, it gives users more information and greater confidence in the operation of their pumping system.
