PS150C

Instructions for Installation, Operation and Service 

for Controllers from serial # 10070901

1 Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a LORENTZ PUMP. LORENTZ has 
set a new standard for quality and economy in solar pum-
ping. It incorporates the best solar pump technologies that 
were very expensive until its introduction in 2002.

PS150 is a highly efficient pump system which is economic-
al for (drip-) irrigation, livestock, dugout floating pump, wa-
ter transfer to remote places and many other applications. 

PS150C is a submersible pump with a centrifugal pump 
end. The PS150 brushless DC motors are specially made 
for this system. The motor is using very advanced raw earth 
magnet technology, hand made wiring for highest copper 
density and does not need wearing brushes. This results in 
an exceptional high efficiency with low temperature dissi-
pation.

PS150 can either be used in a battery system with voltages 
of 12 V or 24 V or alternatively it can be operated as a so-
lar-direct system using the same Controller PS150.

The solar battery is charged up during daylight hours using 
a separate charger. The charger works effectively during re-
duced sunlight conditions when direct pump operation is 
not possible. The energy stored in the battery is available 
to operate the pump at any time, day or night and during 
periods of bad weather. Extended bad weather periods 
with water demands of up to 10m

3

 per day will be reliab-

ly bridged due to the high system efficiency even with low 
capacity batteries.

The pump is manufactured from non-corrosive material 
(stainless steel).

Before you begin, check the model numbers of all the com-
ponents of your system, and verify that they are the items 
that you ordered. Also check against the pump specifica-
tions and performance charts to be sure the system is ap-
propriate for your application. If you think you may have 
the wrong pump for your application, call your supplier 
immediately.

Please fill in the System Report. This will be essential infor-
mation if any problems occur.
