Matsuko Switch Boxes are probably the nicest looking boxes on the market as well as one of the best built, they are built to last thanks to their robust and durable construction. All Matsuko Switch Boxes are weatherproof and safe for outdoor installation being rated IP56 (to IP66 dependent upon installation method).
The NEW and improved Matsuko Switch Box Timer gives you even greater flexibility over your pond and outdoor electrical devices. The Switch Box Timer not only allows you to turn five independent lines on or off via simple push buttons but also has the added feature that all five lines can be programmed to turn on or off up to 5 times per day. The Matsuko Switch Box Timer is great for controlling multiple pond, garden and aquarium appliances, each line will take appliances up to 1500 watts with the maximum load of the unit being 3000 watts.
What is PumpGuard?
PumpGuard (PG) is patent pending, smart technology that helps to avoid possible disasters occurring when your pump blocks or overloads. Line 1 on every Matsuko Switch Box Timer + PG is set to automatically learn how the new pump behaves when it is first connected and turned on through the timer. The PumpGuard will run the pump at different power levels for a twenty-minute period until it understands its normal operation, once this has been learnt the PumpGuard goes into monitoring mode. PumpGuard will monitor the pump all day everyday looking out for signs of overloading or cutting out.
A pump that constantly keeps restarting can easily burn itself out. PumpGuard detects this situation and will run the pump on a lower intensity programme to see if this will correct the problem. If a solution cannot be found, PumpGuard will disconnect the power and save your pump from damaging itself further. In this situation PumpGuard sounds a stop alarm (the signal for a pump failure alarm is a fast beeping sound plus a red LED on line one) and the display shows pump fail.
