    OPERATION AND INSTALLATION MANUAL FOR THE PCA10-30A SOLAR ELECTRIC PUMP CONTROLLER MANUFACTURED BY: GOLDEN GENESIS CO SOLARJACK 7812 E. Acoma Dr. SCOTTSDALE, ARIZONA 85260 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA PHONE # (800) 223-9580 FAX # (480) 483-6431 DC# 5223-0001-A REV 0297 For controllers with serial numbers 18057 and above Table of Contents 1.0 Introduction...

  • Page 3: Introduction

    1.0 Introduction Thank you for selecting the PCA10-30 pump controller. The PCA series of pump controllers are a high quality, solid state DC power converters designed as the interface between a Solarjack SDS series pump and a DC power source. The purpose of the controller is to maximize the total daily water output while providing protection for the pump and the DC power source as well as providing interface with other related pumping system equipment.

  • Page 4: Features

    2.1 Features 1. Current boosting for matching the load requirements of the pump motor. 2. Voltage regulation of the solar electric array at its maximum power point. 3. Low Voltage Cut-off function for battery-sourced installations. 4. Over-current protection via integrated automatic resetting electronic circuit breaker. 5.

  • Page 5: Location

    3.1 Location As the majority of system installations vary greatly, only general comments can be made as to location. Prior to installing the system, it is suggested to make a system layout plan. During the system layout, take into consideration any potential shading of the solar electric modules, wire runs, wire size, conduit runs, trenching, controller accessibility, tank location, pump head and etc..
  • Page 6 Remote Switch The Remote Switch interface can serve as an automatic system shutdown when used with a water storage tank mounted float switch. It can also serve as a manual system shutdown with a remote system ON/OFF toggle switch. The majority of installations will use this port for float switch interface.

  • Page 7: Adjustment Procedures

    With switch number 6 in the ON position, the controller is configured to interface with electrode water level sensors for a water level LOW pump shutdown and a HIGH water level pump activation. PUMP ON low and high level electrode submerged = well water level ok = pump ON PUMP OFF low and high level electrode exposed = well water level critical = pump OFF 3.4 Adjustment Procedures...
  • Page 8 is configured to accommodate a Normally Closed (N.C.) float switch; float switch closed = water tank low = pump water or float switch open = water tank high = shut off pump. 4. With switch number 6 in the OFF position, the controller is configured to interface with electrode water level sensors for a water level HIGH pump shutdown and a LOW water level pump activation.
  • Page 9 water level electrode. This allows a longer pumping duration at a lower rate and probably higher net water production per day. 1. With the system installed, controller properly configured and pumping water, connect an accurate DC volt meter to the pump side of the controller (L+ and L-). 2.

  • Page 10: Troubleshooting

    4.0 Troubleshooting PUMP DOES NOT RUN 1. Check wiring diagram for proper connections. Confirm all electrical terminations are tight and secure. 2. Check for proper voltage selector switch settings for your DC source input. If the incoming voltage is less than the set-point voltage, the controller will not turn on. 3.

  • Page 11: Technical Specifications

    Make sure the Yellow LED (over-current shut down) is not on. If it is, switch OFF the system ON/OFF switch, wait a minute and then switch it ON. EXCESSIVE CURRENT DRAW (More than the rating of the pump, but less than the rating of the controller) 1.
