Summary of Contents for SOLARJACK PCB-90

  • Page 1 PCB-90 DC SUBMERISIBLE PUMP CONTROLLER USER’S MANUAL...
  • Page 2 When used in a solar panel direct system it provides protection for the pump from over-voltage and over-current conditions and will provide current boosting in low sunlight conditions. PCB-90 SPECIFICATIONS 1 HP Input Voltage 45-130V (Open Circuit) (Six Panels in Series Max)
  • Page 3 WIRING THE PCB-90 SERIES CONTROLLER The PCB-90 Series controllers are limited to a maximum of six 17 volt panels connected in series for the 90 volt systems. However, more panels may be connected in parallel. This controller has a 4 position preset input voltage selector switch designed for various solar module arrangements.
  • Page 4 generally attached to the drop pipe above the pump in a well. When the water in the well draws down below the high water electrode it does nothing. As it drops below the low water electrode it turns the pump off. As the water raises again and passes the low water electrode it stays off.
  • Page 5 CONTROLLER ADJUSTING PROCEDURE CAUTION: THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD ONLY BE PREFORMED BY A QUALIFIED SOLAR ELECTRIC TECHNICIAN. THIS PROCEDURE IS NOT NECESSARY IF STANDARD 16.5 TO 17 VOLT SOLAR MODULES ARE BEING USED. This procedure will not work on a centrifugal type pump such as an SCS submersible.
  • Page 6: Troubleshooting

    TROUBLESHOOTING PUMP DOES NOT RUN If the pump does not run, first make sure the on/off switch is in the up position. Then look at the row of lights to check the status of the system. The red light (indicating power in) and the green light (indicating power out) are the only ones that should be on.
  • Page 7 Check for proper controller output voltage. Connect a DC volt meter across terminals 2 LD- and 3 LD+ on the large terminal block. If no voltage is indicated check the fuse. If the fuse is good and there is no voltage on the output, the controller has an internal problem and must be sent back to the factory for repairs.
