PS200 Controller Features

“PS200 Controller is mounted at the surface just like a standard 4” “control box.” The controller is sealed and weatherproof (Nema 3R) Its purpose is to control the pump system and displays the operating status of the system. Each control is equipped with two control inputs: One allows for the Dry Well Probes sensor to prevent dry run or pump off conditions the other allows for a float, pressure, or remote control switch to be used. Once the Dry Well Probe sensor trips, the controller will shut down the pump system for 20 minutes to allow the well to recover, then it will automatically restart the system. The controller is equipped with overload, underload, & reverse polarity protection. Each contol come with Variable Speed Control which allows the pump speed to be adjusted to reduce flow rate by approximately 30% Maximum Power Point Tracking for Solar Operation Battery Low Voltage disconnect and auto-restart after battery has recovered. Motor & Controller are 88% Efficient.

Performance Overview

PS200 Battery Operation System Sizing Table

PS200-C-5-4 (24V to 48V Battery Operation)

For Battery and Solar Direct Systems

Lift Limits

These systems are selected for optimum performance. To allow for unexpected drawdown each system can handle an additional 15% of Lift

Higher Lift? Higher Flow Rate?

Choose the PS600 or the PS1200 for higher lift and/or higher flow rate applications and lower cable cost.

Wire Sizes

Cable layout is calculated to stay within 4% voltage loss.

Variations in Length

Longer: For each 50% increase the next larger wire size is required Shorter: For each 33% decrease the next smaller wire size can be used.

Array to Controller

Up to 20 feet # 10 AWG can be used.

Controller to Low Water Probe

#18 can be used

For Solar Direct Systems

Nominal Voltage is 24-48 Volts
Maximum Open Circuit Voltage is 100 Volts
Example: 2) 90 Watt 12Volt Panels wired in series = 180 Watt at 24 Volts

How Daily Water Volume is Calculated
Daily volume is calculated by integrating real flow versus realistic solar panel output throughout the day.

The solar array is fixed at a tilted angle = latitude of the location

kWh/m2/day = Peak sunlight hours/day
Flow Rates may vary by +/- 10%

Solar tracker array will increase daily water production by 40-50% in the summer.
