Open circuit (no-load) voltage above 100V for
PS200-, above 150V for PS600- and above
200V for PS1200 & PS1800 controllers will
destroy the controller. This may occur if the
solar array is wired incorrectly. (See Solar
Array Wiring, Section 5.3.)
Do not attempt to run the Motor without the
PSXXX controller.
Do not attempt to use the controller for any
purpose other than LORENTZ PS-Pump
Systems.
To be installed, connected and serviced by
qualified personnel only. Ensure all power
sources are disconnected when making
connections. Follow all appropriate electrical
codes. There are no user serviceable parts
inside the motor or the controller.
Solar pumps run at low flow rates, and have
closer tolerances than conventional pumps.
Extreme sand or silt concentration (greater
than 2% by volume) may cause the pump to
stop, or the pipe to fill with sand. Do not use
the pumps to clean out a dirty well. (See
Section 6.6. for advice about dirty water.)
Helical rotor pumps are sensitive to heat.
Protect the pump from sunshine or other
source of heat, or it may lock temporarily. If
the water source is, or will be warmer than
72° (22°C), a special model may be required.
(See Section 6.4.)
Undersized wire will cause failure to start.
(See Section 5.7.)
Install proper system grounding for safety
and lightning protection (See Section 5.2)
Do not touch the controller input or pump
wires together to test for a spark.
Do not run the pump dry. Exception: to test
direction of rotation, for maximum 15 seconds
(See Section 5.8)
Test the direction of motor rotation before
installing the pump (counter-clockwise looking
down). If direction is reversed, exchange the
connection of any two of the three power
wires to the pump. (See Section 5.8)
When pump is stopped by a shadow or by
action of float switch, it will restart after a 120
seconds.
The low water probe must be submersed, or
the pump will stop for 20 minutes. If the probe
is not to be used, connect the probe terminals
together in the junction box. (See section 5.5
and 5.9)
Helical rotor models (without a C in the model
#) are not self-draining. If drainage is required
for freeze-protection, install a weep hole or
draining device below freeze level. See
Section 13.6 Do not remove the check valve
in attempt to make it self-drain.
