Parameter Calibration
To calibrate the controller parameters:
- In Manual mode, press START and let the pump run normally.
- Hold START for approximately 5-10 seconds or press the STORE button on the mainboard with a yellow cap.
- The controller will make a sound (Di sound) indicating calibration completion.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
- Q: How do I adjust the application settings?
A: Turn off power to the controller, toggle switches to desired settings, then re-energize power. - Q: When should parameter settings be adjusted?
A: Parameter settings should be adjusted after Auto calibration with the pump not running and the controller in manual mode.
Installation & Operation Manual
Pump Controller(PCS11&31)
OVERVIEW
The Pump Controller(PCS11&31) abbreviated to PCS is a programmable control panel that is used to protect and control pumps. Primarily deep well submersible pumps, but also centrifugal; in-line; circulation and multistage pumps. The PCS has four general operating modes namely tank to tank; booster by pressure switch; drainage by sensor; timed pumping. The PCS ’s protection features are dry run; overload; stalled pump; over voltage; under voltage; open phase, phase reversal and thermal control.
BUTTON & OPERATIONS
| BUTTON | OPERATION [MANUAL mode unless otherwise stipulated] |
| START | Pump should start if not running. |
| STOP | Pump should stop if running. |
| STOP then
MODE |
Display shows last five failure records. |
| STOP then
START |
Display shows accumulative running time. |
| MODE
SET |
[Parameter 012 set to 00] – Manual to Auto / Auto to Manual
[Parameter 012 set to 01] – All buttons locked in Auto mode. To deactivate hold “MODE” for 5sec. Pump will then stop, and controller will switch to manual mode. |
| To ensure pump and motor is protected it is essential to calibrate the controller parameters as
soon as pump is running to operational standards. Perform calibration after each installation or maintenance operation. |
|
| START | Parameter calibration:
In Manual mode press “START”, give the pump time to run as it would normally then hold “START” (approximately 5-10 sec) or press the “STORE” button (Button on mainboard with yellow cap). The controller will make a “Di” sound. The controller should now be calibrated to the current spec of the motor. |
| STOP | Parameter erasing:
Ensure pump has stopped running then hold “STOP” until the controller makes a “Di” sound. (Hold for approximately 5-10 sec). The controller should now be cleared of all calibrations. |

APPLICATION SETTING
There are two different controllers namely the PCS and the PCS PT 100. The PCS and PCS PT 100 function the same except that the PCS PT 100 has an additional switch to toggle on for thermal sensing enabling the controller to read the temperature through a thermal probe.
Whenever the controller is to be adjusted for application the power to the controller needs to be off and only re-energized once the switches have been toggled to the desired settings.

PARAMETER SETTINGS
PLEASE NOTE: Parameter settings should be adjusted after “Auto” calibration.
- To access parameter settings the controller should be in manual mode and the pump should NOT be running.
- Press and hold “MODE” for 5sec to enter the parameter menu.
- To enter a parameter, press the “MODE” button. This will display the current value for the parameter.
- To change the value, press the “START” or “STOP” buttons respectively to increase or decrease the value.
- To store the value and return to the main menu press the “MODE” button.
- To store all changes and exit the parameter menu either press the yellow button on the circuit board or hold the “MODE” button for 5 sec if yellow button is not on circuit board.

SENSOR WIRING DIAGRAMS

Remark:
The probe / sensor free in the water well as the Product has reliable and automatic stop function against pump dry-run (dewatering), if it is used in submersible pump for deep well, pipeline pump or other situations when it is inconvenient to install lower liquid probe in the well, pump users can put terminals ①、②、③in short circuit, which minimize the cost .
- Tank to tank.
Booster pump control by pressure switch. 
- Drainage by level sensor.

- Optional temperature control.
