Key features
What BioWatch does for your slurry tank
Motor-sized panels provide local and remote operation, scheduled run times and the sensor options selected for the installation.
Timer function
Set when the slurry must be stirred and for how long. The clock function runs the schedule without anyone triggering it manually.
Configured SMS alarms
SMS fault notifications can cover power interruption and connected leakage or overflow functions. The required sensors and alarm recipients are agreed when the panel is commissioned.
Level control
With an optional level sensor connected, the transfer pump can stop when the source tank approaches its configured low level, helping prevent dry-running.
Optional overflow warning
With overflow protection connected, BioWatch sends an SMS when an overflow risk is detected.
Uniform slurry
Thorough stirring makes the slurry uniform: easier to pump, nutrients spread more evenly on the field, less odour and less sedimentation.
Manual or automatic
Operate the panel locally with the selector and buttons, or switch to automatic operation with SMS remote control or the clock function.
Easy installation
BioWatch is supplied as an electrical panel ready for assembly and commissioning, sized to the motor and installed near the tank or pump.
How it works
How BioWatch controls the mixer and the pump
A wall mounted technical cabinet wired to the motor, controlled locally, by SMS, by timer or from Emiko.
BioWatch is a light grey sheet metal electrical cabinet with a lockable door and a simple control strip: a mode selector, a green run indicator and an on/off button. It is installed near the slurry tank or pump and wired to the motor, in a size matching the motor's power rating from 5.5 to 30 kW. Operation is manual at the panel or automatic: an SMS starts or stops the mixer or pump, and it stops by itself after the configured run time, or the clock function runs stirring on a fixed schedule.
Optional inputs extend the panel: a level sensor stops the transfer pump when the source tank is nearly empty, overflow protection sends an SMS on overflow risk, and leakage monitoring raises an alarm. If the power supply is disconnected the panel reports it. The mixer control panel provides the Emiko login for the installation. Pump-panel SMS control is routed through its paired mixer panel; connected level sensors provide the tank information.

Product documentation
Product guide
A buyer's guide to BioWatch slurry control panels
BioWatch controls the motors used for slurry mixing and transfer. Select the mixer and pump panels by motor rating, then specify the required timer, remote-access and sensor functions.
Who BioWatch is for and where it is installed
BioWatch is built for livestock farms and other operations that store slurry in large tanks. The typical installation is a round concrete slurry tank with a mixer on its rim and a transfer pump nearby: the BioWatch cabinet is mounted on a wall or post close to the tank and wired directly to the motor it controls. Because every panel is sized to the motor, the same solution fits a small agitator as well as a 30 kW pump.
The product belongs to Vikingegaarden's slurry systems range within NordWatch Automation, alongside FlexGylle, the tank level and leak alarm system. For biogas specific technical questions, Biogas Teknik collaborates on the BioWatch solution.
Choosing between mixer and pump panels
There are two panel types. The mixer control panel operates the slurry agitator and carries the Emiko web login for the installation. The pump control panel operates the transfer pump; its SMS remote control is routed through the paired mixer panel rather than working on its own. Both types come in six sizes matched to motors of 5.5, 7.5, 11, 18.5, 22 and 30 kW, and each size is a distinct panel item.
Selecting a configuration therefore starts with two numbers: the power rating of your mixer motor and the power rating of your pump motor. From there you decide which options the site needs: a level sensor that stops the transfer pump when the source tank is nearly empty, overflow protection that warns by SMS, and leakage monitoring.
Installation and commissioning
Each BioWatch is supplied as an electrical panel ready for assembly and commissioning. The controller sits closed inside a compact metal cabinet with a lockable door, installed near the slurry tank or pump and wired to the motor. The front of the door carries a simple control strip: a mode selector, a green run indicator and an on/off button, for local manual operation.
Commissioning consists of wiring the motor and any optional sensors, then setting run times, schedules and alarm recipients. There is no screen on site; everything beyond the physical buttons happens through SMS and the Emiko login.
Remote control, alarms and everyday use
Operators can run the installation locally or use the configured SMS and timer functions. A run time defines when an automatically started operation stops. The mixer panel provides the Emiko login, and pump-panel SMS control passes through that paired panel.
Power faults and connected leakage or overflow functions can raise SMS notifications. Low-level pump stopping requires the optional level sensor. Commissioning establishes the schedules, sensor behavior, access and alarm recipients for the installation.
Separate motor control from tank monitoring
BioWatch schedules and switches the mixer or pump motor. The selected level, leakage and overflow inputs extend those controls. For dedicated tank level and volume records, compare FlexGylle slurry tank monitoring.

Frequently asked questions about BioWatch
What is BioWatch?
BioWatch is a series of electrical control panels for slurry tank mixers and slurry transfer pumps, delivered as a ready to install technical cabinet. It gives SMS start and stop, a timer function, alarms and, with the mixer panel, Emiko web login for levels and status.
Why use timed control for a slurry mixer?
Timed control lets the operator define when the mixer runs and for how long. Stirring helps keep slurry uniform for pumping and nutrient distribution. BioWatch automates the configured run schedule; the mixing pattern and duration are set for the tank and its equipment.
How do I operate BioWatch?
Manually at the panel with the selector and buttons, or automatically: send an SMS to start or stop the mixer or pump, or let the clock function run stirring at set times for a set duration. The panel stops automatically after the configured run time.
Which alarms and protections does BioWatch offer?
BioWatch sends an SMS fault alert if the power supply is disconnected or a leakage is detected. With an optional level sensor it stops the transfer pump when the tank is nearly empty, and with optional overflow protection it sends an SMS on overflow risk.
Which BioWatch sizes are available?
Mixer control panels and pump control panels are each available for 5.5, 7.5, 11, 18.5, 22 and 30 kW motors. Each size is a distinct panel item sized to the connected motor's power rating.
Can a BioWatch pump panel use Emiko independently?
The mixer control panel carries the Emiko login for the installation. The pump control panel has no independent web login, and its SMS remote control is routed through a paired mixer panel. Select the panels and connection arrangement together.
Are level and overflow protections included on every BioWatch panel?
No. Low-level pump stopping requires the optional level sensor, and overflow warnings require the selected overflow protection. Leakage monitoring and other sensor functions are specified for the installation. Confirm the required inputs and alarms when the motor-sized panels are ordered.
How is BioWatch installed on the farm?
BioWatch is supplied as an electrical panel ready for assembly and commissioning. The cabinet is mounted near the slurry tank or pump and wired to the motor, in a size matching the motor's rating from 5.5 to 30 kW. Optional sensors for level, overflow and leakage are connected during commissioning.
