Product catalog summary
Pump Control Unit (PCU) Overview
The Pump Control Unit (PCU) is an electronic management system designed for firefighting vehicles, featuring an integrated water tank level gauge. It can also manage other vehicle systems such as valves and lighting. A key feature is the Pressure Governor, which automatically adjusts engine RPMs to maintain consistent water flow despite pressure fluctuations. The automatic pressure regulation is activated via a rotation switch, initially setting the pressure to 4 bars, adjustable in 1 bar increments. Manual RPM adjustments deactivate the automatic regulation, and an IDLE key sets the engine to idle RPMs.
Specifications and Ordering Information
The PCU can be customized using specific codes for features such as water tank level gauge, large light driver, auto-fill functions, remote indicators, and various digital displays. The complete equipment includes the PCU, pressure sensors, an optional RPM sensor, and an optional temperature sensor. A 37-pin CPC connector cable is required for chassis connection. Detailed specifications include a power supply of 21-30 Vdc, maximum power consumption of 10 W, and various relay and digital output configurations. The unit supports a range of pressure sensors and includes a stainless steel transducer housing. The automatic pressure regulation range is 4 to 16 bars with 0.5 bar accuracy. The PCU is protected against reverse polarity and overvoltage, with an IP67 enclosure rating.
Physical and Environmental Specifications
The PCU dimensions are 144x144x68 mm or 160x160x68 mm with an Aluminium Bezel. It weighs 700 g, with each sensor weighing 100 g. The operating temperature range is -25°C to +80°C, and the unit is equipped with a CPC connector.

PUMP CONTROL UNIT - PCU-1

PUMP CONTROL UNIT - PCU The Pump Control Unit - PCU is an integrated electronic management system used for the pump of a firefighting vehicle with an integrated water tank level gauge. It can also be used to control other vehicle systems such as valves, lighting, warning lights, etc. The main features is Pressure Governor allows automated regulation of the engine RPMs according to the pressure fluctuations in the pump, which ensures a constant water flow at the nozzle regardless of thte number of connected users. The automatic pressure regulation is turned ON by turning the rotation switch - encoder. This will cause the pressure to increase to 4 bars. The pressure can subseguently be adjusted to the desired value using the encoder in 1 bar increments. The value on the LED display flashes until the pump pressure reaches the desired value. If the manual keys for manual control of the RPMs (pressure) are used while the automatic regulation is running, the automatic regulation will be turned off. When pressing the IDLE key, the control unit sets the engine RPMs to IDLE.
