Starting Pressure Adjustment 

(P. Start):

Starting Pressure is the pressure at 

which the pump will re-start from the 

idle condition. When the water pres-

sure drops to this setting, the pump will 

start. This adjustment has no effect on 

the maximum system pressure which 

is determined solely by your pump’s 

maximum output pressure. The pump 

controller is factory set to start with a 

minimum pressure of 28 PSI (1.9 bar). This pressure can be in-

creased up to 36.25 PSI (2.5 bar) by rotating the screw found at the 

back of the cone-shaped end of the device.

 

To Set the Pump Start Pressure:

1.  Read the pressure indicated by the gauge when the pump is 

started. 

2.  Disconnect the power supply.

3.  Open a faucet or valve to discharge the pressure.

4.  Adjust the screw clockwise to increase (or counter-clockwise to 

decrease) the start pressure.

5. 

Supply power to the controller; if you are not satisfied with the 

adjustment, repeat the operations described above until you 

obtain the desired pressure value.

Operating Pressure

 

The maximum pressure of the pump (closing contact pressure) and 

the minimum start pressure must comply with the values shown in 

the table otherwise the controller will go into Failure mode.

 

The max-

imum pressure of your pump must exceed the start pressure setting. 

The maximum operating height between the pump and the highest 

point in the system will depend on the pump start pressure setting. 

These limits are specified in the table below.
