Min Voltage is the minimum voltage which the unit must see in order to start the pump. If this
voltage is not obtained, the unit will not attempt to start the pump. Voltages lower than this will
not hurt the unit.

Both controller models have the same operating features, functionality and setup. Voltage and
power tolerances are the only differences of concern to the end user. This manual will only
differentiate when necessary for clarity.

Application
The only application the PCA series controllers are designed for is the interface
between a solar module array or battery bank and a brushless, sensorless three phase
DC motor as well as various peripheral pump system signal devices.
No other applications or DC power sources are recommended or warranted unless
written approval is provided by the SunPumps factory
