Eaton XTJL Jockey Lite Pump Controller
This controller is quoted to your specifications. Call or Request a Quote Today.
The Eaton XTJL is Eaton's JOCKEY Lite jockey pump controller, a simple, pressure-switch-based across-the-line controller for keeping fire protection system pressure up. Instead of a touchscreen, it uses a mechanical dual-setting pressure switch and a Hand-Off-Auto selector switch, making it a straightforward, economical choice for jockey pump control. Every XTJL is built to order, so we quote each one to your motor, voltage, enclosure and options. Call (786) 336-5783 or send us your catalog number.
How the XTJL works
The XTJL operates across-the-line: full voltage is applied to the motor for starting through a single motor starter, with starting inrush current of approximately 600% of the motor's rated full load amperes. A dual-setting 15–290 PSI pressure switch senses a drop in system pressure and actuates the jockey pump contactor. Adjustment screws set the pressure range and differential, and the switch provides one set of form-C output contacts rated at 10A. The controller can be run in Auto or Hand from the selector switch.
If you need programmable timers, alarms, history and a touchscreen, see the XTJP JOCKEY Touch controller, or the XTJY for wye-delta starting.
JOCKEY Lite features
