What is PumpGuard™ (Switchbox Timer+PG only)
PumpguardTM is patent pending, smart technology that helps to avoid possible disasters occurring
when your pump blocks or overloads.
Line 1 on every Matsuko Switch Box Timer + PG is set to automatically learn how the new pump
behaves when it is first connected and turned on through the timer.
The PumpGuardTM will run the pump at different power levels for a twenty minute period until
it understands its normal operation. Once the learning process is over PumpGuardTM goes into
monitoring mode. PumpGuardTM will monitor the pump all day everyday looking out for signs of
overloading or cutting out.
A pump that constantly keeps restarting can easily burn itself out. PumpGuardTM detects this
situation and will run the pump on a lower intensity programme to see if this will correct the
problem. If a solution cannot be found, PumpGuardTM will disconnect the power and save your
pump from damaging itself further. In this situation PumpGuardTM sounds a stop alarm (the signal
for a pump failure alarm is a fast beeping sound plus a red LED on line one) and the display
shows “pump fail“.
Power Consumption Monitor (Switchbox Timer+PG only)
The digital display on the screen gives two electrical
consumption readings. The Switch Box Timer + PG gives
a constant reading on line 1. The second reading on the
screen shows a total consumption of all the lines been used
by all the devices on the switch box through lines 1 – 5.
To get a reading for an individual simply switch off
every line you do not want to monitor. The consumption
monitor gives an indicative reading with an
accuracy of +/-5%.
Clearing a fault from the PumpguardTM
If you wish to clear the PumpGuardTM once the unit has sent the warning that there has been a
failure press Menu , using the Arrow Keys scroll down to the PumpGuardTM and press Enter
, this will open the PumpGuardTM menu, press Enter while the arrow is illuminated next to

Adding a new pump

PumpGuardTM menu as above and use the arrow keys to move the cursor over to illuminate the
arrow next to new pump, now press Enter , when pressed the text will show (current deleted)
and will start to run the new pump to learn its behaviour, this will take roughly twenty minutes.
Now press Menu to return to the main menu.
