System Description
The Pump Boss II® system consists of a handheld transmitter, a pump-mounted receiver and an antenna.
When the operator presses a switch on the transmitter, a digital message is sent via radio waves to the receiver.
The digital message contains one of millions of possible ID Codes. This unique code makes it possible for the
receiver to respond only to the proper transmitter. Additional codes are also sent, making the chance of false
commands less than 1 in 16 million.
The Pump Boss II® system incorporates a fail-
safe ‘STOP’ feature, in that a loss of radio signal drops all relays
within five seconds, thus shutting down the pump. When radio communications are restored, the link to the
receiver is also restored and the user can command any function. During the signal loss, the receiver defaults to
all functions being turned off and the user must restore any latching functions that were reset by the signal loss.
All Pump Boss II® systems incorporate the innovative ‘AUTO LINK™’ function that allows the receiver to ‘learn’
the frequency channel and address of a replacement or spare transmitter. This function allows the Pump Operator
to quickly substitute a spare PBIIT transmitter in the field without the need to physically reconfigure its frequency
channel and address to match that of the receiver.
Receiver relays are Poly fused at 4.5 A. If too much current is drawn through these relays, the Poly fuse will open
and remain open as long as electricity is applied through the relay. Once electricity is removed, the fuse will heal
itself and be ready to operate within about one minute.
Note:
In units operated above 24 VDC, the relays are protected with a 7 A fuse. Such fuses can only be
replaced by Cattron.
The Pump Boss II® system complies with the requirements for operation under Part 15 of the FCC rules and
regulations. This means that neither the operator nor the company need apply or register for a license to operate
this equipment.
Note:
Any metallic objects will affect radio waves. As the result, the user may encounter difficulty operating in
certain locations. Read the section on using your system so that you can get the best performance.

PBIIT Transmitter
The Pump Boss II® transmitter is housed in a molded polymer plastic case that is IP67 compliant, which stands
up to extremely rugged use. A key feature is the patented Cattron switch assembly for control inputs. This long-
life elastomeric keypad is ergonomically designed to provide easy operation over long periods of time with
exceptional reliability. A leather holster provides added protection and convenience. An optional clear protective
pouch is available from your dealer.
Pump Boss II® transmitters are designed to be very efficient, operating from two AA batteries. To ensure long
battery life, the transmitters shut themselves off after one hour of inactivity. The antenna is inside the transmitter
case, protecting it from damage. A bicolored self-test LED indicator provides a quick visual check of transmitter
and battery status. This LED flashes GREEN when no problems are present, flashes RED and GREEN under low
battery conditions, or stays SOLID RED when other problems are encountered.
