  • Page 2: Introduction

    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 3: Features

    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 4: Location

    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 5 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 6: Adjustment Procedures

    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 Adjustment Procedures The PCA series controllers have several adjustment features. Some are system configuration adjustments are user selectable by a six positions DIP switch located on the face of the controller.

  • Page 7: Troubleshooting

    The input and output voltage set-points are calibrated at the factory and typically will not require end user adjustment for proper system operation. However, if system “fine tuning” is desired for optimal performance, please refer to the adjustment procedures below. INPUT VOLTAGE ADJUSTMENT The purpose of this procedure is to adjust the voltage of the solar electric panel to its peak power point and thus obtain maximum water delivery from the system.
  • Page 8 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.

  • Page 9: Technical Specifications

    NO VOLTAGE AT THE L+ AND L- TERMINALS Note: To bypass all remote switching circuits, disconnect all wires from the sensor interface terminal block in the controller housing (the small terminal block) and switch program switches #5 and #6 to the OFF position. 1.
