Control unit PC-16 with pressure gauge

Product detailed description

The PC-16 control unit with a dry-running self-starting pressure gauge for pump run control, provides the function of a pressure switch or pressure vessel, thus enabling the automation of the operation of submersible or self-priming (surface pumps). Depending on the pressure drop and when the water flow in the distribution system stops, it allows the pump or waterworks to run automatically. With the control unit PC-16 you do NOT need a pressure vessel (watering, irrigation), pressure switch or dry-run protection.In case you need to use water on a daily basis, use the Home Waterworks with pressure vessel. Alternatively, a domestic waterworks with a self-priming - surface pump - darling. The PC-16 control unit with pressure gauge provides dry-running protection - it switches off the pump when running without water. This protects the pump from damage that could occur. The PC-16 control unit attempts to start the pump again, without manual intervention - if water is still not available the PC-16 switches the pump off. A given cycle can be repeated several times a day, which can be an advantage in automatic irrigation. The PC-16 control unit with dry-running self-starting pressure gauge is recommended for use in clean water distribution systems free of dirt and sediment, otherwise an adequate filter must be installed. Advantages of the product: automatic dry-running restart usability with pumps (as automatic) built-in electrical socket for pump connection Operation - basic data: the PC-16 control unit with dry-running self-starting pressure gauge starts the pump for approx. 15 seconds at the moment of connection. Thereafter, the pump will start whenever the working pressure is reached at the moment the system pressure is reduced, for example after opening a valve, also at dry-running self-start. On the PC-16 control unit the lower switch-on pressure is adjustable - the upper switch-off pressure cannot be adjusted - after switch-on, it works up to the pump maximum. The PC-16 control unit with dry-running self-starting pressure gauge can be installed at any point between the pump and the first point of withdrawal. It is necessary to ensure perfect sealing of all joints in the piping. Specifications.
