DAB DConnect Box 2 Puts Your Pumps on Your Phone
The DConnect Box 2 is a small wall-mounted gateway that connects DAB electronic pumps to the internet. This version carries part number 60198037 and plugs into a NEMA 6-15P 230V receptacle. Its power supply accepts 100 to 240 VAC at 50/60 Hz. It joins the site network over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n, WPA/WPA2) or a wired Ethernet cable. One box manages up to 4 compatible DAB products at the same time. For submersible units such as the DTRON3 and ESYBOX DIVER, data travels over the pump's own power cable. That powerline link means no extra control wire has to run down a well or tank. The box also carries 1 voltage-control input and 1 relay output rated 24V, 5A resistive. The enclosure is rated IP20, so it belongs indoors in a dry pump room. Compatible pumps include the ESYBOX, ESYBOX Mini 3, ESYBOX DIVER and DTRON3 with current firmware.
Using a Remote Pump Controller to Watch Irrigation From Anywhere
Most growers add one when the pump room is a walk away from the office or another site entirely. Once paired, the DConnect app shows pressure, flow and run status for every linked pump. Alarms arrive as notifications, so a dry-run trip or a leak alert reaches you before plants feel it. Set points can change from the app, which saves a drive to adjust a booster after a new zone goes in. Operating graphs make it easier to spot a pump that starts more often than it should. Mount the box near the pumps and within solid Wi-Fi coverage, or run a cable to the router for the steadiest link. The relay output can switch an external alarm light or horn on a fault. Remember that remote features depend on a continuous internet connection at the site. Older DAB units may need a firmware update before they appear in the app. The box connects DAB products only, not pumps from other brands.
Key Features
- Up to four products: One box monitors and adjusts up to four compatible DAB pumps from a single app account.
- Wi-Fi or Ethernet: Connects over 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi or a wired LAN, whichever is steadier in the pump room.
- Powerline to submersibles: Talks to DTRON3 and ESYBOX DIVER units through their power cable, with no extra wiring down the tank.
- Alarms and graphs: Real-time alerts and operating history make faults and short-cycling easy to catch early.
- Relay output: A 24V relay can drive an external alarm or signal another control panel on a fault.
- App and web access: The DConnect app and web portal both show status and settings from anywhere online.
