Pressure Gauge

The PC115A pump controller features a built-in pressure gauge 

located on the right side of the unit. This gauge features measure-

ment units in both PSI and bar. One bar is approximately equal to 

atmospheric pressure at sea level. In terms of water pressure, 1 bar 

= 14.5037 PSI.

Automatic Reset Function

When a failure is experienced, the automatic reset function will begin 

a series of starts to attempt to restore operation without manual 

intervention. For example; the pump has a water failure, after five 

minutes of low water it will do a 25 second reset, attempting to prime 

the pump. If it is able to prime the pump, the failure will clear and the 

pump will resume normal operation. However, if the failure persists, 

the system will attempt to reset every 30 minutes for 24 hours. If 

unable to reset, the system will require manual intervention for assis-

tance.
