PCX Pump Control Module with Remote Operation PRODUCT OVERVIEW
The PCX Pump Control Module is an advanced controller for submersible pumps, delivering intelligent automation, full remote stop/start control, and superior operator safety. Designed for demanding environments like mining, construction, and industrial dewatering, it prevents pump damage, reduces maintenance costs, and ensures personnel are protected — all without opening the panel.
With no live electrical work required, the PCX offers remote configuration and control, including safe start/stop, real time current monitoring, and automated dry-run protection through intelligent "snore" detection.
Key targets
• Start/Stop the pump safely via remote unit — no panel opening required
• Eliminates arc flash hazard — fully compliant with modern safety standards
• Restart Program Button resets pump curve timing and immediately re-engages pump
• Adaptive dry-run (snore) detection adjusts run/pause cycles in real time
• Live current bar graph and LED indicators on remote for at-a-glance diagnostics
Operating Modes
• Manual Mode
Disables automatic pump cycles. Pump can be restarted via the remote control unit.
• Automatic Mode
Autonomous control based on float switch inputs and real-time current-based dry-run protection logic. Advanced Pump Control Logic
• Long run times → shorter pauses
• Short run times → longer pauses
Combined with snooze (snore) detection, the PCX ensures the pump only runs when fluid is present, extending motor and impeller life significantly.
Remote Control Unit – Stop/Start & Setup Safety
The PCX is supplied with a panel-mounted remote control unit, allowing operators to:
• Start/Stop the pump
• View live pump current
• Adjust snooze threshold
• Restart pump timing program
This eliminates the need for electricians to open the enclosure or perform configuration while the panel is live — removing arc flash risk and saving setup time.
Remote Unit Functions
1. Power LED – Indicates active system power
2. Run LED – Pump is currently running
3. Pump Current LED – Normal operating current detected
4. Snooze Current Adjustment – Set snooze threshold for dry-run detection
5. Current Bar Graph LED – Shows % of selected current range in real-time
6. Restart Program Button – Resets run/pause algorithm and starts pump
7. Start/Stop Buttons – Full remote operational control
