Remote Start Firefighter MKII
Solid, reliable, leading performance
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.
Importantly; the new built-in modem can connect to 2G, 3G and 4G network depend on which one is available in your area.
Not only for use in emergency situations, you can also use the Davey Remote Start Firefighter for tanker-to-tanker water transfer, irrigation, or high-head general water transfer.
All registered users will receive SMS feedback and warnings to ensure you're kept informed. The engine is designed to shut down when there is no fuel remaining or when the oil alert system has triggered. The SIM in the unit's control centre is factory-fitted and ready to use via the Telstra network across Australia. Ongoing use of the SMS function is subject to reception and subscription status.
