  • Page 3: Introduction

    1.0 Introduction Thank you for selecting a SunPumps SDS series pump system. The SDS series pump and PCA series controller are the key components to a high quality submersible pump system. Their stand-alone, pollution free and low noise operation makes them an ideal solution for remote homes, wildlife and stock watering problems without violating the environment.

    2.2 Application The only application the PCA-30-M1 controllers are designed for is the interface between the SunPumps SDS series of pumps and the DC power source as well as peripheral pump system signal devices. The PCA-30-M1 controllers are capable of operating with two different DC inputs, solar electric modules or batteries.

    5” (12.7 cm) and for and SDS-Q series pump it is 6” (15 cm). Sand damage to an SDS series pump is not covered under warranty. It is therefore highly recommended that sand shrouds be installed on all SDS series pumps in an unproven well (bore hole).

  • Page 6: Well Measurements

    Never install the pump in a well that has or has had an oil-lubricated line shaft turbine in it. Any drip oil remaining in the water may damage the diaphragm and seals. If the pump is used in a well over 100 feet (30 meters) deep, install a check valve above the pump.

    3.4 Pump Installation 1. Connect the drop pipe, safety rope and sand shroud (if used) to the pump. Splice the drop cable to the motor lead using an under water splice kit. (See wire splicing instructions provided with splice kit.) Unroll the drop cable, drop pipe and safety rope and lay them on the ground in a straight line.

    The Low Water Cut-Off circuit is used to protect a pump from running dry. The controller has already been adjusted at the factory to fit the SDS series submersible pumps and no further adjustments are usually necessary. If a different pump is being used, the LWC should be tested to verify that it is adjusted properly.

  • Page 12: Adjustment Procedures

    To reset the circuit breaker, turn the On/Off switch off and then back on. If power is removed from the controller it will also reset. Each morning the controller will automatically be reset on start-up. This is the standard setting for all SDS series pumps.

    While the pump is off, an amber indicator light will be flashing. . This setting is for special use pumps only. Do not use with SDS series pumps. 5. To activate the Low Water Cut-Off feature, turn switch number 6 on. When the pump runs dry, the LWC feature will turn the pump off and an amber indicator light will flash.

    4. With the pump turned on and pumping water, pull the pump out of the water. It will not damage an SDS series pump to run dry for several minutes. 5. Very slowly turn the “LWC” trim pot clockwise until the pump turns off. This is now the set-point where the pump will turn off.

  • Page 15: No Voltage At The Ld+ And Ld- Terminals

    RED AND GREEN LIGHTS ARE ON, AMBER LIGHTS ARE OFF AND THE PUMP DOES NOT RUN To verify power coming out of the controller, connect a DC voltmeter across LD+ and LD-. If 12 Volts or more is coming out then: 1.
