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
