1Description
1.1 General
The pump controller PC-200 is an advanced computer controlled device to control and supervise up to
3 pumps. It is built up of a combined operator and I/O unit for connecting all digital and analogue
signals used by the unit. The level in the sump is detected by a 4-20 mA level sensor (chapter 5.2.4), or
by the use of level switches to start and stop the pumps (chapter 5.2.1).
The controller can handle a mixing device and has an integrated voltage supervision relay.
The unit has one communications port RS 232 for communication with radio/PSTN modems or
a GSM-modem to send SMS-text messages or to communicate with a supervision and SCADA
system.
1.2 Operator unit
The operator unit is mounted in the front door of a cabinet and has 4 control keys for handling,
configuration and alarm. There are 4 light emitting diodes for indication of alarms and status and an
alphanumeric display with 2 x 16 signs for displaying all information.
Front panel
2Log in –Access code
For looking at information about pumps, running times or alarm you can go directly to the actual
information menus. But to make changes or acknowledge alarms a.s.o. you need to enter an access
code depending of what you want to do. The unit is delivered with two different access codes:
1. Operator code –allows acknowledgement of alarms. The code is ZZZZ (▼▼▼▼)
2. System code –allows changes of for example start and stop values or configuration of the unit.
The code is 0000 (▲▲▲▲)
The access codes can be changed under ”System settings”
When you enter a menu and want to change any value, the access code prompt will show when you
press the OK key to enter the changing position. When the prompt shows up you set the actual code
and accept with the OK key you enter the changing position and can make the changes you desire.
The unit will automatically log out 5 minutes after the last time you pressed a key.
If the function “Trusted logged in”is activated no log out will be made.
Confirm choice, enter submenus, and to go
from the start menu to the main menu.
Exit the menus and go to the left.
Used to step downwards in the submenus, and
to change values to be set.
Used to step upwards in the submenus and to
change the values to be set.
Indication diode ”P1-P3”
3 multicolour diodes show the
status for each pump.
¤ Green shows pump is running.
¤ Red shows pump alarm
¤ Orange shows pump ”Not Auto”
Indication diode ”Alarm”
1 red diode shows the alarms.
¤ Red ”blinking” not ackn. alarm.
¤ Red ”fixed” active, ackn. alarm.

Status menus
When in the normal standby mode the controller will show the actual level in the pump pit at all times.
By pressing the down arrow ▼you will have direct access to status windows which are organized in a
loop, where, by each pressing of an arrow button you will see the next status window in the loop.
In this menu you will find information about the level, pump and station status etc.
4.1 Start window (Level)
This is the window that is always displayed when the unit is in normal working mode.
4.2 Analogue input 2 (Free choice)
Will appear only if analogue input 2 is activated and configured.
Actual value for the analogue input 2 is shown in the next window. As this input is editable regarding
texts, units and scaling and will show the configured values.
4.3 Voltage input (phase measurement)
The voltage reading for each phase (Phase-N) will be shown if the voltage relay is activated and the
corresponding wiring is done (three phases and neutral)
4.4 Attendance check (person- / intruder alarm)
If the attendance check function is activated, personal alarm or intruder alarm, in this window the
status for the function is shown, on/off and the remaining delay time for the alarm to go active.

5System settings
The unit is delivered with a factory setting, for a fast start up of a pumping station with the most used
functions activated. To adjust the controller to the application you need to configure and activate I/O s
and functions according to the specific use.
The system setting menu is built up in logic split sub menus. When you enter system settings, 7 sub
menus will be available.
In this part the description of how to enter the different submenus and how change values is made.
During configuration of the unit it is convenient to follow the logical structure of the submenus
How to change values in the setting menus
Application type –here you set the number of pumps in
the station and how many pumps are allowed to run.
I/O setting –here is set how in and outputs are to be used.
Pump settings –here all setting for each pump is done for
start and stop levels, alternation etc..
Station setting –here all settings for alarm levels, mixer
functions are made.
Voltage relay –here the settings of how you measure the
phases of the power supply are done.
Miscelaneous –Settings for default settings,
communication settings , clock settings , alarms etc.
Login/Logout –Here log in with access codes are done.
