Application Notes:
1) This Pump Power Tracker(TM) is quite capable of putting out over
15 amps into a stalled load even from a single 30 watt
4.5 amp panel. It is recommended that a fuse or
overtemperature switch matched to your pump motor be
incorporated in the system to protect your pump or motor.
2) Float switch operation draws microamps of current, ie: small
wire gauge, allowing long distance runs between float
switches/holding tanks, and PV / pump driver without the
need to string long lines of heavy gauge wire.
3) Unit is a true 3 amp unit, all necessary derating already
accounted for. Unit is capable of 5 amp operation with normal
derating practices.
4) As with all electronics, it is recommended the unit not be
mounted in direct sunshine.
Note: In the interest of continuous product improvement, specifications
