Description
PC-2 – pressure switch with pressure gauge
The IBO PC-2 is a mechanical pressure switch combined with a pressure gauge and a five-way pressure outlet. It controls the operation of a single-phase pump according to the water pressure, while the built-in pressure gauge displays its current value. Its advanced design means that one device serves as complete equipment for a pressure-boosting set, connected directly to the discharge pipeline.
Who it is for
- Installers and plumbers – the five-way pressure outlet and 1" connection make it possible to build a pressure-boosting assembly from a single component, without selecting separate fittings.
- Homeowners with their own water source – the built-in pressure gauge displays the system pressure without installing an additional indicator.
- Users of pressure-boosting sets – the device combines the switch, pressure gauge, and connections in one housing.
- Allotment gardeners and farms – a convenient solution for automatic pump operation when drawing water.
Applications
The PC-2 is suitable for domestic and garden water systems with a single-phase pump operating with a pressure tank. The switch maintains water pressure between the set lower and upper thresholds, while the pressure gauge allows its value to be monitored continuously. The five-way outlet makes it possible to connect the pump, tank, and installation at a single point.
The device is connected directly to the pump’s discharge pipeline and responds to the pressure within it. In a domestic pressure-boosting water system, the PC-2 230 V pressure switch keeps the pump operating within the pressure range set to meet the installation’s requirements.
PC-2 pressure switch features
The PC-2 operates with two settings: the pump cut-in pressure and cut-out pressure. They are factory-set to 1.4 and 2.8 bar, respectively, and both values can be changed using two screws: the first shifts both thresholds simultaneously, while the second adjusts only the cut-out pressure. The adjustment range is from 1.2 to 5 bar, and the difference between the thresholds should be at least 1 bar to prevent the pump from cycling too frequently.
What distinguishes the PC-2 from a standard pressure switch is the integration of several functions in one housing. The device combines a pressure switch with a pressure gauge and a five-way pressure outlet with a 1" connection for connecting the pump, tank, and installation. This means it replaces a set of separate components that would normally have to be selected and connected individually. The device supports single-phase pumps drawing up to 12 A.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – PC-2 pressure switch
What is the PC-2 pressure switch used for?
The PC-2 is a mechanical pressure switch with a pressure gauge that automatically switches the pump on and off depending on the water pressure. It maintains pressure within the set range and also serves as a connecting component for the elements of the pressure-boosting system.
What are the benefits of the five-way discharge outlet in the PC-2?
The five-way outlet allows a pump, pressure tank, system, and pressure gauge to be connected to a single component. This means the PC-2 replaces a set of separate tees and fittings that would otherwise have to be assembled individually. It simplifies installation of the pressure-boosting system.
Why does the PC-2 have a built-in pressure gauge?
The pressure gauge shows the current pressure in the system, making it easier to set the operating thresholds and monitor pump operation. This eliminates the need to install a separate pressure gauge in the pipeline.
How do I set the operating pressure in the PC-2?
The thresholds are adjusted with two screws. The first changes the switch-on and switch-off pressures simultaneously, while the second adjusts only the switch-off pressure. First set the switch-on threshold, and then the switch-off threshold. The difference between the thresholds should not be less than 1 bar.
Which pumps is the PC-2 compatible with?
The pressure switch operates single-phase pumps drawing up to 12 A on a 230 V power supply. It is compatible with pumps in pressure-boosting systems equipped with a tank.
Where can I buy the PC-2 pressure switch?
As the manufacturer, we do not sell directly. The IBO PC-2 pressure switch can be purchased from our trade partners, installation wholesalers, and authorized online distributors. You can find the full range of pressure switches and controllers in the controllers section of our website.
