Multi Point Controller (MPC)

Wireless remote control & monitoring Solution for up to eight locations
QTech’s Multi Point Controller (MPC) is a central hub for creating a wireless communications, monitoring and control solution for up to eight remote wireless Point to Point (WP2P) slave modules.
The simple, yet powerful “Workbench” software enables you to program the MPC with a sophisticated Input/Output (I/O) mapping grid, that allows any of the digital inputs in the system to be “mapped” to any of the digital outputs in the system. This includes the ability to control multiple digital outputs across the system from a single input in any part of the system.
The perfect choice for irrigation systems, sprinkler systems and the majority of agricultural applications.
This innovative and cost effective system allows you to:

  • Switch up to 24 pumps or irrigators on and off remotely
  • Expand and/or replace existing cable based control systems with quality wireless technology
  • Start and stop multiple pumps from a central location
  • Monitor electrical faults from many locations at a central point
  • Confirm if your irrigator is switched on and pumping water
  • Operate multiple devices around your site from a single button press
