Care and disclaimer
It is recommended that you familiarise yourself with these important instructions. Read the complete manual before
commencing the installation.
Although the solar panel connections are considered low voltage, there is still a possibility of electrical shock. During the
connection stage of the solar panels, it is recommended that the panels be covered with dark cloth or cardboard until
connections are complete and you are ready to carry out voltage tests.
Do not switch the power on unless all connections and voltage readings are correct. The pump must be submersed in
water before attempting to start the system.
Failure to comply will void warranty

Installation Details
Solar photovoltaic panels convert sunlight to electrical energy which is fed to the solar controller. Using MPPT
(Maximum Power Point Tracking) technology, the solar controller maintains constant voltage and converts the single
phase DC to 3 phases to power the pumps motor.
If backup batteries (optional) are available the pump controller can charge them. The stored energy can be
used at a later date when the sunlight may not be adequate to drive the pump. Sensors are also connected to
the controller and can be used to protect the pump from running dry as well as to automatically turn the pump
off when a water tank is full. The system can be remote from traditional power sources and fully automatic.
Sizing the solar panel array to suit the system
If you have not purchased a complete system from your Certified Distributer the following formula will be useful. Your
certified distributer will be able to help you with panel selection.
The optimum loaded DC voltage (Vmp) for the solar controller is between 35VDC to 80VDC.
The maximum open circuit voltage (Voc) is 100VDC. CONNECTION OF SOLAR PANELS WITH
FOR: NASS #4 & NASS #6,
TOTAL OPEN CIRCUIT VOLTAGE GREATER THAN 63 VDC WILL VOID WARRANTY.
NASS #8,
TOTAL OPEN CIRCUIT VOLTAGE GREATER THAN 100 VDC WILL VOID WARRANTY.
NASS #10-12-14
TOTAL OPEN CIRCUIT VOLTAGE GREATER THAN 150 VDC WILL VOID WARRANTY.

Solar Panel Requirements:
Recommended Power of PV panels (watts) = Rated power of pump (watts) x 1. 3 ~ 2.0
Example:
One Nass # 6 pump Power = 180 watt pump needs a minimum of 180 watts multiplied by 1.3 to maximum 2.0 to drive the DC motor (180w
x 1.3 = Minimum Panel wattage required 230 Watt) Optimum 360 Watt
You may need combinations of series and parallel connections of panels, especially for the larger pumps. The required
voltage is achieved by connecting the solar panels in series (series string). The total power requirement (watts) is achieved
by connecting further series strings in parallel.
Panels in series; add the voltage and the wattage of the panels.
Example 2 x 36 volt, 8 Amp 200 watt panels in series becomes a 72 volt 8 Amp 400 watt system.
Panels in parallel; add the current and the wattage of the panels.
Example 2 x 36 volt, 8 Amp 200 watt panels in parallel becomes a 36 volt 16 Amp 400 watt system

(2) Selecting the battery of the pumping system
You will need to buy deep cell battery if you want to pump water when there is a lack of sun light. Please note
if you want to add batteries you will need to double the number of PV panels. These extra PV panels are
required to charge the batteries while the pump is running.
You must use deep cycle batteries not car batteries. Deep cycle batteries are designed to take much lower
continual discharges than regular car batteries. Deep cycle batteries normally have an “amp hour” rating
shown as AH, for instance 100AH. Use the following formulas for calculating battery size required for backup.
Please note even with a deep cycle battery discharging it to a low level will shorten its life, this is why we use
60% as a discharge level.
Example:
Installing Nass # 6 pump
Current drawn by the pump = pump power /by the pump voltage.
24 volt 180 watt pump.
180 watts divided by 24 = 7.5 amps.
2 x 100AH 12volt batteries in series = 100 Ah at 24 volts.
100Ah divided by 7.5 amps x 0.6 = 7.9 hours of backup
Batteries in parallel, add the Ah, voltage stays the same.
Batteries in series, add the voltage, Ah stays the same.

3. INSTALLATION
(1) Wiring the pump
Connecting a longer cable to the pump you have to verify the voltage drop, generally we want to keep the
voltage drop below 2% maximum.

Distance in Feet
Use the parts contained in the cable connector kit (heat-shrink tube) to connect a longer supply wire to the
pump. If you don’t have a heat gun to shrink the tube, the
barrel of your soldering iron will also work.
1. Strip both wires as per detailed sketch above
2. Layout the components needed to make the join.
3. Put the large diameter piece of heat-shrink over the main cable Fig 1
4. Next use smaller heat shrink pieces over the individual wires. Fig 2
5. Slide the small heat-shrink over the soldered joints and heat using
a heat gun or alternative heat source to shrink the sleeve down over
the wires.
6. Solder all 3 connections, Fig 3
Note: Remember the color connected to your wire. (So the pump
doesn’t run in the wrong direction)
Note: Keep the heat-shrink back away from the joints as you solder
them. Any heat transfer will prematurely shrink the heat-shrink.
7. Heat shrink the 3 wires, Fig 4
8. Wrap vulcanized tape over the sealed joints. Fig 5
Note: Use vulcanized tape to wrap wires; electrical tape is not made
for years of service under water
9. Finally slide the large diameter heat-shrink over the completed joint
and apply the heat gun to shrink the heat shrink. Fig 6
10. Place the pump in water before you start wiring the controller box.
This will allow the pump to go through the pre-conditioning required.
Note: Do not put the pump in its final position until you have tested it,
unless it is easy to see and remove. (Use Pail to test pump)
11. After testing install the deep well pump to its final location

Wiring the controller box
Before you start wiring the control box switch must be in the off position.
A. The wiring diagram below is for pump controllers (24V, 36V, 48V, 72V, 110V) without battery
function. Fuses must be used to protect the controller for PV and Battery connection. Spark arrestor
are mandatory to prevent high voltage spikes during storms.
When using pressurized system (NO OPEN TANK USED) standard home system Install reversed pressure switch Means contact closes when pressure is made Connect pressure switch to TC & TH Contact, If no sensor is installed in well, bridge needed WC-WH

B. The wiring diagram below is for pump controllers (24V, 36V, 48V, 72V, 110V) with battery function
When using pressurized system (NO OPEN TANK USED) standard home system Install reversed pressure switch Means contact closes when pressure is made Connect pressure switch to TC & TH Contact, If no sensor is installed in well, bridge needed WC-WH
When connecting with battery, make sure the polarity is correct, plus to plus, minus to minus.
Charge controllers generally have the following connections.
Battery, Panel and Load either written or in pictorial form. The pump controller solar PV input is connected to
the load terminals of the pump controller. As a safety margin we recommend the charge controller be able to
supply at least 1.5 times the pump requirements. Selection of battery & PV panels as mentioned in the panel
and battery requirements.
Caution. When wiring the battery be very careful not to reverse or short the terminals. We advise you remove
all metal wrist bands or watches before you start. Solar PV panels when connected together produce a lot of
energy so caution must also be exercised. A dark cloth to shade the panels is a good precaution to reduce the
power output.

C. The wiring diagram below is for pump controllers (220V, 380V).
When using pressurized system (NO OPEN TANK USED) standard home system
Install reversed pressure switch Means contact closes when pressure is made Connect pressure switch to TC & TH Contact, If no sensor is installed in well, bridge needed WC-WH
2/ It is important that the water sensors are connected properly.
The water low (WH) and water common (WC) are very important because
they protect the pump from running dry.
Do not link out WH under any circumstances. (the only exception is for
troubleshooting) The sensor terminals TC and TH can be left disconnected if
you are not using a header tank or don’t care if the water flows out on the
ground once the tank is full.
The sensor probes are all the same, just different colored wiring. For clarity we recommend you use the
probes with white wires as the common probes (WC and TC) and the other colors’ for WH and TH

4. TESTING THE PUMP
Before you testing the pump, the controller box switch must be in the off position.
The pump must be under water at all times and should have been pre-conditioned for at least 15 minutes.
Water is the lubrication for the pump and if it is not “preconditioned” properly the bearings will not be
adequately lubricated.
Do not attempt to test the pump if even for a moment without it being submerged, or permanent
damage will occur. When testing you will need a large container so the pump does not pump it dry in
seconds.
1/ Attach a durable rope or stainless steel cable to the top of the pump using the mounting hole. Make sure the
rope or cable is longer than the depth at which you want to install the pump. This is used to raise and lower the
pump.
Never use the power cable to do this.
2/ Attach the WH sensor with a tie wrap to the pump cable so it will be at least 0.5 metres above the pump
body when it is installed, the higher the better. The WC sensor needs to be placed below the WH sensor.
(Float sensor can be used and connected to WC & WH)
3/ Connect the water line and lower the pump into the bore hole, well, stream lake etc.
Please note the pump must be operated vertically so the bearings have no excess side thrust on them
and the water should be clean with no corrosive materials in it.
4/ The PV panels need to be in full sun. Turn on the control switch. The pump has a “soft start function” and
will start after 6 seconds and then spin up to full speed in the next 6 seconds. If the wiring is correct the pump
will restart and the pump will run continuously. If the pump does not pump water it is possible the wiring of the
pump is incorrect and it is running backwards. To correct this switch off the control box and reverse the wires
to terminals U and V. Switch the controller on again and the pump should now be working correctly after self-
diagnostics.
If this does not happen see the trouble shooting guide.
5/ Test the sensors one at a time. Pull the sensor connected to WH out of the water, the pump should stop
immediately. Put the sensor back under water, the pump should start after 30mins delay. To test TH and TC
start the pump with TH and TC out of the water. Put TH and TC in water. The pump should stop. Pull the TH
sensor out of the water and the pump should start again.
Please Note: If the water is lower than WH sensor, the pump won’t work.
There will be 30mins delay before restart.
During this 30mins, the power lights are off.
If you want the pump works immediately, you need put WH sensor in water and restart the
switch on controller.

5. TROUBLE SHOOTING
Problem Possible solution
System light off
1.Turn power switch on
2. Check if all connections are correct.
3. It is during 30mins delay after water level sensor protection
from low water level in well. Please restart the switch on/off on
controller.
Water level in the
reservoir is lower than
“TH” sensor, but the
indicator light of
“TANK_F” lights on.
1. Disconnect “TH” wiring terminal and “TC” wiring terminal. Then
if “TANK_F” lights off, it means the problem may be caused by
short circuit of the water level sensors. Please change the water
level sensors.
2. Please check if there is any other metal material in tank that is
lower than TH sensor. If yes, remove the metal material.
3. If “TANK_F” still lights on, please contact with your supplier.
Water level in well is
higher than “WH” sensor,
but the indicator light of
“WELL_L” lights off.
1. Connect “WH” wiring terminal and “WC” wiring terminal directly
with a piece of wire to get a short circuit. Then if “WELL_L” lights
on, it means the problem may be caused by open circuit of the
water level sensors. Please change the water level sensors.
2. If “WELL_L” still lights off, please contact with your supplier.
The indicator lights flicker
continuously, and water
pump does not run
normally
1. It may be caused by the low input voltage.
2. Incorrect panel configuration
3. Voltage input is low
3. If the lights still flicker, please contact with your supplier.

6. DOS AND DON’TS
Do keep the pump under water at all times when operating
Do be careful with wiring
Do remove the pump if not used for a long time and wipe the screw and body. Wipe with vegetable
oil.
Do make sure the pump has adequate water around it during pumping. If the sensors are active for
low water in the well there will be at least a 30 minute delay between pumping sessions.
Do put your solar PV panels in a sunny position facing true north (southern hemisphere) or true south
(northern hemisphere). If the panel angle is fixed then an angle equal to your latitude will be a good
compromise.
Don’t run the pump out of the water, even momentarily. It will void the warranty
Don’t bypass the WH sensor except to troubleshoot
Don’t adjust the regulation bolt in the base of the pump. It is factory set. It will void the warranty.
Don’t use the pump in dirty water. Premature wear will not be covered by warranty.
Don’t disassemble the control box. There are no user parts inside.
