PC-9 - pressure switch
PC-9 by IBO is a mechanical pressure switch for controlling the operation of a single-phase pump. It turns on the pump when the pressure in the installation drops to the set value, and turns it off when the upper pressure is reached. The operating thresholds are set with two adjustment screws, thanks to which the device can be adapted to a specific hydrophore installation.
For whom
- Installers and plumbers - simple adjustment with two screws allows you to quickly select pressure thresholds for the installation.
- Home owners with their own water intake - the switch maintains the pressure in the set range, automating the operation of the pump.
- Users of hydrophore sets - the device controls the pump cooperating with the hydrophore tank.
- Allotment owners and farms - an inexpensive, durable solution for everyday operation of the pump when drawing water.
Application
PC-9 works well in home and garden water installations with a single-phase pump operating with a hydrophore tank. The switch maintains the water pressure between the set lower and upper thresholds, turning the pump on and off as water is drawn. This allows you to use water without manually controlling the pump.
The device responds to the pressure in the installation and is suitable for use with surface and submersible pumps. In a home hydrophore network, the PC-9 230 V pressure switch maintains the pump operation in the set pressure range, adapted to the needs of the installation.
Features of the PC-9 switch
PC-9 has two pressure settings - a threshold for turning the pump on and a threshold for turning the pump off. They are factory set to 1.4 bar for switching on and 2.8 bar for switching off, and can be changed by the user using two adjustment screws.
The switch's operating range is from 1.2 to 5 bar, with the minimum switch-on pressure being 1 bar and the maximum switch-off pressure being 5 bar. The device works with single-phase pumps with a current consumption of up to 8 A. They are connected to the installation with a ¼" thread.

Frequently asked questions (FAQ) – PC-9 circuit breaker
What is the PC-9 pressure switch used for?
PC-9 is a mechanical pressure switch that automatically turns the pump on and off depending on the water pressure in the installation. It maintains the pressure between the set lower and upper threshold, thanks to which the pump operates without manual control.
How to set the working pressure in PC-9?
The frets are adjusted with two screws. The first one changes the turn-on and turn-off pressures simultaneously, the second one corrects the turn-off pressure itself. First, the switch-on threshold is set, and then the switch-off threshold is set. The difference between the thresholds should not be less than 1 bar.
What pumps does PC-9 work with?
The switch is designed for single-phase pumps with current consumption up to 8 A, with a 230 V power supply. It works with surface and deep-well pumps in hydrophore networks equipped with a tank.
Does PC-9 require a hydrophore tank?
Yes. PC-9 is designed to work in hydrophore networks with a tank. The tank collects water under pressure and limits the frequency of switching on the pump between the lower and upper threshold.
What is the difference between PC-9 and PC-2?
PC-9 is a basic switch with a ¼" connection PC-2 has a built-in pressure gauge, five-way discharge outlet and Connection 1", which makes it a ready-made accessory for a hydrophore set. These two and many more models can be found in the tab drivers on our website.
Where to buy the PC-9 circuit breaker?
As a manufacturer, we do not sell directly. The IBO PC-9 switch can be purchased from our trading partners, installation wholesalers and authorized online distributors.
What is the warranty for the PC-9 circuit breaker?
IBO – 24 months (2 years) manufacturer's warranty.
