SUNPUMPS PCA-60-M1 SERIES, Руководство по эксплуатации и установке

Страница: 3 / 18

1.0 Introduction
Thank you for selecting a SunPumps SCS series solar pump system. The SCS series pump and PCA series
pump controller are the key components to high quality solar powered pumping systems. Their stand-alone,
pollution free and low noise operation makes them an ideal solution for remote homes, wildlife and stock
watering problems without violating the environment.
SunPumps SCS series pumps are multi-stage centrifugal, DC powered, submersibles constructed of high
quality marine bronze and stainless steel. These pumps were designed specifically for water delivery in
remote locations.
The PCA-series controllers are micro-processor-based, solid-state DC power converters designed as the
interface between a solar module array and a DC pump motor. The purpose of the controller is to
maximize the total daily water output while providing protection for the pump as well as providing an
interface with other related pumping system equipment.
Although these SCS series pump systems are easy to install, please read this manual to become
familiar with the controller features, functions, connection points and various configurations. For
future reference, keep this manual and other relevant product information in a safe place.
PRECAUTIONS
•
Safety First – Always understand what you are doing when working with any form of
electricity. Guessing at something is not worth the potential of product damage and/or
severe personal injury.
•
Shut down all power when working on the system .
•
Do not attempt to feed live wires into the PC-series controller or product damage and/or
personal injury may result.
•
Do not exceed the voltage and power rating of the controller .
•
Do not splash water on the controller when the cover is open .
•
Mount the controller in a shaded, well vented , vertical position .
•
Installation of this system, should be done by a licensed Solar Pump Contractor.
