What is PumpGuard™ (Switchbox Timer+PG only)
Pumpguard is patent pending, smart technology that helps to avoid possible disasters occurring when your pump blocks
TM
or overloads.
Line 1 on every Matsuko Switch Box Timer + PG is set to automatically learn how the new pump behaves when it is first
connected and turned on through the timer.
The PumpGuard
will run the pump at different power levels for a twenty minute period until it understands its normal
TM
operation. Once the learning process is over PumpGuard
pump all day everyday looking out for signs of overloading or cutting out.
A pump that constantly keeps restarting can easily burn itself out. PumpGuard
pump on a lower intensity programme to see if this will correct the problem. If a solution cannot be found, PumpGuard
will disconnect the power and save your pump from damaging itself further. In this situation PumpGuard
alarm (the signal for a pump failure alarm is a fast beeping sound plus a red LED on line one) and the display shows
"pump fail".
Power Consumption Monitor (Switchbox Timer+PG only)
The digital display on the screen gives two electrical
consumption readings. The Switch Box Timer + PG gives a constant
reading on line 1. The second reading on the screen shows a total
consumption of all the lines being used by all the devices on the switch
box through lines 1 – 5.
To get a reading for an individual line simply switch off
every line you do not want to monitor. The consumption
monitor gives an indicative reading with an
accuracy of +/-5%.
