{"product_id":"distance-control-unit-single-pump","title":"Distance Control Unit, Single Pump","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Avanti Distance Control Unit (DCU) is a remote float switch relay designed to control water levels in dams, reservoirs and tanks over long distances. It converts a simple float switch signal into a 24V DC output that can be run up to 4km away using standard 1.5mm copper wire, making it suitable for borehole users, farmers, property managers and installers who need to start or stop a single pump from a float positioned far from the control panel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eApplication:\u003c\/strong\u003e Suitable for single-pump water level control on dams, reservoirs, tanks and
