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
