3．Function
1，ASA weather proof shell design, water proof, for outdoor application
2，Solar powered, wireless, no need of power or communication lines in the field.
3，Solar panel is fixed on the shell. Can add extra solar panel for area without enough sun.
4，With relay function.
5，Control：pump and master valve, monitoring flow rate, flow total, water pressure by
pressure meter, and water level of well or water tank.
6，Field manual open/close pump and master valve for convenience.
7，Setup flow rate and water pressure range to control protective shut down of pump and
master valve.
8，Using water level checking function to control protective shut down of pump, to avoid
pumping without right water level.

4．How to install
Please read manual before installation. We have how to install video online.
4.1 Notes of installation
1，Make sure solar panel is face maximum sun. If there is not enough sun, add extra solar
panel.
2，For application of controlling pump and master valve, must install protective pressure
sensor or pressure switch. If pump water from well, suggest to sue water position sensor to
prevent pumping without water.
3，All accessories, suggest to using parts suggested on ANC web. If need to purchase from
another source, please communicate with ANC first to make sure it is compatible.
4，The connection box is water proof. Before cover up, make sure the rubber seal at right
position for seal and checking around to make sure all connectors are been tighten, including
connectors not been used.

4.2.2 How to install pressure sensor
Note: Because that the threaded end of pressure sensor is very small, suggest using three way
adaptor for small pipe, and drill hole to install for big pipe according to related specification.
When water pressure is out of setup range, the controller will protectively shut off the pump
or master valve.
If pump water from well ，suggest to install level sensor to protect pump from pumping
without water from well or rain tank. The setup will be one for high, and one for low. The
pump will not been open when the water level didn’t at high position. If the water reaches
low position, the controller will protectively shut down the pump.
Also could install flow meter, when the flow rate is out of range, the controller will
protectively shut down the pump and alarm.

4.2.3 Valve connection
For master valve, choose one of them as protective devices, pressure switch, pressure sensor,
or flow meter. To mechanical pressure switch, must do tiny adjusting when water go through
pipe, adjusting the screw until no alarms at normal situation. (Open water proof cap to do
adjusting. Screwing in to increase pressure, screwing out to reduce pressure until there is no
open/close valve alarm).
For pressure meter, if the open water pressure is bigger than the setup pressure, as normal or
otherwise alarm; when pump/valve is been closed, pressure less than this setup value, as
normal or otherwise alarm.
Pressure meter and switch, must installed after water flow.
3, Connection for supervising flow rate and pressure.
