Replacement Parts
Faceplates, batteries, solenoids and other parts that can be replaced in the field.
ETC plunger lift controllers have a bootloader and separate firmware image that is used when it comes to programming them with a new version of software. This allows users to erase the firmware and replace it with a newer version or a release with a different feature set. What You…
If you battery is currently reading 0V, then the fuse in the battery has been blown. You will need to get a replacement battery. For more information, check out our FAQ.
ALiEn2 plunger lift controllers contain software that actively monitors the attached battery to determine when to go into a low battery shutdown to ensure the controller can perform critical operations and safely shut down. Battery Monitor Operation Low Battery If 6 successive battery samples are below 5.5 V, the controller…
The solenoid is certified as part of the ALiEn2/ALiEn2 Expert and is expected to be installed with a short cable length. Issues that arise from lengthening the solenoid wires are: Increase in resistance leading to poor performance Increase in capacitance Violation of certification
The plunger lift controller battery has an in-line, slow blow fuse. This acts as a safety mechanism and ensures compliance with hazardous locations standards. For replacement parts and service, please contact an Authorized Reseller. For more information, please visit our FAQ.
ETC plunger lift controller enclosures are pre-punched to accommodate both single valve solenoids and dual valve solenoid assemblies. A dual valve solenoid assembly comes with two (2) solenoids connected together with a pre-installed tee. The ALiEn2 Expert can support a total of three (3) solenoids. This can be achieved by…

Once an ALiEn2 controller is installed in the field and hooked up to the solar panel through the charger built into the controller, it will be automatically maintained. If however spare batteries or controllers with batteries are stored for more than a few months, the batteries should be charged periodically.
The plunger lift controller has a built in battery charger that uses the provided solar panel to recharge the battery. If for any reason, an approved battery does need to be charged (ie: loss of solar power source), ETC has built an inexpensive wall charger that falls within the battery…
The ALiEn2 and ALiEn2 Expert comes with a universal mounting bracket that attaches to the bolts coming out of the back of the enclosure. This unique bracket accommodates almost any mounting configuration you can think of. Enclosure and Bracket Overview The controller enclosure is equipped with four (4) studs on…
If you are an Authorized Reseller of ETC controls and sensors and wish to return devices that require a repair, you must first obtain a Return to Manufacturer Authorization (RMA) number.
ETC plunger lift controllers are certified as a full product with a certification label that details the type of battery that is acceptable: ALiEn2 Battery Part Number: ET-12001-1008-0002Capacity: 8Ah There are several safety components embedded in the battery assembly to ensure intrinsic safety. For more information on the certification of…
Solenoids can often get gummed up from oils and debris. They are meant to be taken apart and serviced. Over time the seals and spring on the piston and spring (poppet) assembly can wear and may need to be replaced. Cleaning Solenoid Internals In order to clean the, it must…
The faceplate in the ETC plunger lift controller has been designed to be removed and inserted in a very specific way. If done incorrectly, the powder coating can be scratched off the enclosure. Why Did ETC Do This? After looking at a lot of other controllers, they all had shortcomings…
The solar enclosure has internal mounting points engineered into so it can be used as a housing for electronics. Detailed drawings of the solar enclosure and mounting bracket are available on the Solar Enclosure product page.
We often get asked why the solenoid is installed on the outside of the plunger lift controller enclosure since everyone else puts them on the inside. This was an intentional design choice that comes with many benefits. Maintenance The solenoid on the outside of the enclosure allows maintenance personnel to…
