Remtron Pump Boss II
User Manual
If the signal from the transmitter is lost for more than five seconds, the pump shuts off and the receiver will not
recognize any commands from the transmitter. When the signal from the transmitter is restored, the top half of the
'PUMP/OFF' rocker switch must be depressed to start the pump before remote control can resume.
On all Pump Boss II transmitters, several optional rocker switches are provided. These rocker switches operate in
the same manner as the 'PUMP/OFF' rocker except they may be either (M) momentary or (L) latching. Consult
the configuration sheets in
to the configuration sheet with the same number for the type and switch functions of your unit.
Note: Depending on your exact system configuration, some or all of these optional rocker switch functions
may not be operational.

Helpful Hints

If the Pump Boss II® system does not operate properly, check the wiring. Always make sure the electrical
connections are clean and tight. Pumps vibrate, and loose wires can easily become disconnected. It is also a
good idea to tie the wires from the receiver to solid points to keep them from swaying.
Pump Boss II® receivers use self-healing 4.5 A Poly fuses to protect all relays. If any of these receiver relays is
overloaded, the fuse device opens to protect the unit. When it cools down, the fuse device closes, restoring
normal operation to the output.
Note: In units that are operated above 24 VDC, the relays are protected with a 7 A fuse. Such fuses can only
be replaced by Cattron.

System Troubleshooting

7.4.1 System Does Not Operate

1. Check the transmitter (see
2. Make sure the receiver 'POWER' LED is illuminated. If it is not illuminated, determine if +12 VDC is
present between the red and black wires of the receiver.
3. Check that the receiver 'SIGNAL' LED illuminates when the transmitter is turned on. If it does not
illuminate, the transmitter may not have 'learned' the transmitter's frequency channel and address. Invoke
the 'AUTO LINK™' procedure on the receiver and transmitter – refer to the
4. See if the receiver 'OUTPUT' LED illuminates when the transmitter is used to switch on a function (i.e., a
receiver relay is activated). If the LED indicates the signal from the transmitter was received, the problem
is usually external to the receiver.

7.4.2 Insufficient Range

1. Check that the receiver antenna is installed properly; see
2. Visually inspect the connector, connector center pin and cable for damage. The cable should have no
cuts, kinks or sharp bends; it will not withstand temperatures above 185ºF (85ºC). If it is overheated, the
cable will be stiff or flattened. Look for this in areas where the antenna cable is routed near the engine
exhaust system.
