Description
PC-99 – electronic pressure switch with reducer
The PC-99 is an IBO electronic pressure switch that automatically controls pump operation while also limiting the pressure at its outlet. The built-in reducer keeps the pressure within a safe range, protecting the installation from the effects of excessive pressure, while the dry-run protection safeguards the pump itself. It is an automatic controller for installations where stable and controlled water pressure is important.
Who is it for
- Owners of single-family homes – constant, controlled water pressure in the installation, without manually switching on the pump.
- Installations sensitive to overpressure – the built-in reducer limits the outlet pressure, protecting pipes, fittings and connected devices.
- Well and private water-source users – the dry-run protection disconnects the pump when there is no water and automatically retries starting it.
- Installers and plumbers – automatic adaptation to the installation and vertical or horizontal mounting simplify commissioning.
Applications
The PC-99 is suitable for domestic pressure-boosting systems and pressure-maintenance systems supplied from the mains, a well or a tank. It is installed on the discharge pipe, downstream of the pump, in either a vertical or horizontal position. The controller monitors both pressure and flow, switching the pump on when water is drawn and switching it off when demand ends.
Thanks to its built-in reducer, it is particularly suitable where the pump generates higher pressure than required in a domestic installation. The device operates exclusively with clean water, free of sand and iron compounds. In a typical domestic system, the PC-99 230 V electronic pressure switch takes over pump control, starting it when the tap is opened and stopping it when the water flow is shut off.
PC-99 features
The PC-99 combines the functions of a pressure switch and a pressure reducer. It controls the pump based on the pressure and flow in the pipeline, and stops it when the tap is turned off while maintaining pressure. The built-in reducer lowers and stabilizes the outlet pressure, reducing the risk of damage to the installation from excessive pump pressure.
The operating status is indicated by the Power, Pump and Failure LEDs, while the Reset button allows the protection to be manually cleared. If there is no water, the controller disconnects the pump and automatically retries starting it, and after 24 hours of inactivity, it switches it on for 10 seconds to prevent the impeller from jamming. During the first start-up, the PC-99 adapts to the installation, so no extensive configuration is required.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – IBO PC-99 electronic pressure switch
How does the PC-99 pressure switch work?
The PC-99 detects water pressure and flow in the pipe on which it is installed. When a tap is opened and the pressure drops, it starts the pump; when the tap is closed, it stops the pump while maintaining pressure. During the initial start-up, the automatic system adjusts itself to the installation.
What is the built-in pressure reducer in the PC-99 used for?
The built-in pressure reducer lowers and stabilizes the pressure at the controller outlet, maintaining it within the range of 2–6 bar. This protects pipes, fittings, and connected devices from excessive pressure when the pump generates more head than the installation requires. It also improves water-use comfort.
Does the PC-99 protect the pump against dry running?
Yes. If there is no water, the PC-99 disconnects the pump, protecting it from damage, and automatically retries starting it. In addition, after 24 hours of inactivity, it switches the pump on for 10 seconds to prevent the impeller from seizing.
Does the PC-99 require an additional check valve?
Installing a check valve at the pump's water source is recommended, rather than between the pump and the controller. A check valve placed directly before the PC-99 could interfere with flow detection. It is also worth checking the pump itself before installing the controller.
Which pump is the PC-99 compatible with?
The PC-99 works with pumps rated up to 2.2 kW with a 230 V power supply and up to 1.1 kW with 110 V. The device works exclusively with clean water, free of sand and iron compounds that could damage it. The controller is installed on the discharge pipe, downstream of the pump.
Where can the PC-99 pressure switch be purchased?
As the manufacturer, we do not sell directly. The IBO PC-99 electronic pressure switch can be purchased from our commercial partners, plumbing wholesalers, and authorized online distributors. Complete technical specifications make it easier to select the device for a specific pump.
What is the warranty on the PC-99?
IBO – 24-month (2-year) manufacturer's warranty. Dambat provides warranty and post-warranty service. For questions about installation or selection, it is best to contact an authorized distributor.
