Notes for SafeOperation
■ Before Installation
WARNING
Do not install or operate the controller that is damaged or has missing parts. Otherwise, it may result in
or harmlife.
■ Installation
CAUTION
Install the controller on nonflammable material like metal. Otherwise it may cause a fire.
When the controller is mounted in a protective cabinet, the cabinet need to set vents to ensure ambient
temperature is below 40℃, otherwise it may be damaged because of high temperature.
When install the controller, you should avoid direct sunlight, can be installed under the PV array.
WARNING
Ensure only qualified personnel to operate. Otherwise it can cause an electrical shock or damage of the
controller.
Make sure the controller is isolated from power supply by the circuit breaker. Otherwise it may cause a
fire.
Do not touch the power input terminals of the controller and the pump’s
terminals. Otherwise it may cause
an electricalshock.
■ Operation
CAUTION
Do not open or remove the front cover when operation. Otherwise it may cause an electrical shock.
Before testing the pump must be installed; can not make the pump dry-run for a long time. In order to
the pump, the maximum dry-run time is not more than 15s
If the pump turning is reversed, it can change any two lines of the pump’s three power lines.
When the water pump is due to the light shadow, it will restart the operation after 10s.
If a water level probe is installed in the well, when the water level is below the level of water shortage,
water pump will stop, and start up again after 20 minutes. If there is no water level probe, it will need to
short. If a water level probe is not used, the controller terminal must be open..
■ Maintenance andcheck
WARNING
Only qualified or authorized professional personnel can maintain, replace and inspect the controller.
Otherwise it may cause damage andinjury.
Wait at least 10 minutes after the power failure, or make sure that no residual voltage before carry out
maintenance and inspection, otherwise it may cause damage.
■ Others
WARNING
◎ If failing to follow these instructions, resulting in damage to the machine, can not enjoy the

3inch Helical Rotor Pumps Series
1、How It Works
SKYKINGsolar pumping system serves to provide water in remote applications where electrical grid
power is either unreliable or unavailable. SKYKINGsolar pump controller can direct use the DC power from
PV array, and drive the brushless DC pumps. In sunny days, the pumping system can continuously pump
water. The system without batteries and other energy storage devices, it is recommended to take water
pumped to a reservoir for later use and water sources are those natural or special such as river, lake, well
or waterway, etc. A float switch can be installed in the water tower to control the pump operation. And install
a low-level probe in well to detect the well water so that when the water shortage pump is stopped. Figure 1
shows a typical diagram of the pumping system. The major parts and components in the system.

3、The SK-197K1500-36 Controller General Information
3.1 Features
The SK-197K1500-36 solar pump controller is designed with the high standard of reliability expected of
products. The controller attempts to drive the pump and motor to deliver water even under adverse
conditions, reducing output as necessary to protect the system components from damage, and only shutting
down in extreme cases. Full operation is restored automatically whenever abnormal conditions subside.
Inspection
Before you begin, receive and inspect the SK-197K1500-36 solar pump controller unit. Verify that the
part number is correct and that no damage has occurred during transit.
NOTE: SK-197K1500-36 solar pump controller is one component of a SK-197K1500-36 solar pumping
system which has other two optional components, solar array and Brushless DC Motor pump.
Protection Features
Electronic monitoring gives the controller the capability to monitor the system and automatically shut
down in the event of:
• Dry well conditions – with low level switch
• Bound pump – with auto-reversing torque.
• High VoltageSurge
• Low InputVoltage
• Open motorcircuit
• Shortcircuit
• Overheat
NOTE: This controller provides motor overload protection by preventing motor current from exceeding
rating current and by limiting the duty cycle in the event of low water level. This controller does not provide
over temperature sensing of the motor.
SystemDiagnostics
The SK-197K1500-36 solar pump controller continuously monitors system performance and detects a
variety of abnormal conditions. In many cases, the controller will compensate as needed to maintain
continuous system operation; however, if there is high risk of equipment damage, the controller will protect
the system.the fault condition. If possible, the controller will try to restart itself when the fault condition
subsides.
Motor Soft-Start
Normally, when there is a demand for water and power is available, the SK-197K1500-36
solar pump controller will be operating. Whenever the SK-197K1500-36 solar pump controller detects a
need for water, the controller always“ramps up”the motor speed while gradually increasing motor voltage,
resulting in a cooler motor and lower start-up current compared to conventional water systems. Due to the
controller’s soft-start feature this will not harm the motor.

Over TemperatureFoldback
The SK-197K1500-36 solar pump controller is designed for full power operation from a solar array in
ambient temperatures up to 45℃. In excess of 45℃ temperature conditions,the controller will reduceoutput
power in an attempt to avoid shutdown. Full pump output is restored when the controller temperature cools to
a safelevel.
Level Control Switch
The SK-197K1500-36 solar pump controller can access two water level switch detects remotely control
the pump automatically. Level switch for SK-197K1500-36 solar pump controller is optional, not mandatory

5. Mechanical and Electrical Installation
5.1 Outline &installation dimensions diagram
5.2 MechanicalInstallation
1. Overheatprotection
The protection level of SK-197K Series solar pump controller reached IP67; if installed in the outdoor, the
controllers should be installed in a well ventilated place, and avoid direct sunlight and rain. The best installation
location is below the solar array, which can prevent the equipment from overheating and performance degradation. In
extremely high temperature, high temperature may cause the controller stop to protect itself.
2. Location Selection
The SK-917K Series solar pump controller is intended for operation in ambient temperatures up to 60 ℃ , but in
order to avoid overheating caused by the failure, it is recommended to install the controller in the shadow position.
The SK-917K Series solar pump controller must be installed into a control box which has a tight enclosure to avoid
direct sunshine, rain, dust, moisture, animals, plants, etc. The control box should have a bottom gland plate for installing
wire cord or conduit. To decide the size of control box, Please refer to the following Figure 4.
