The pump power cord should be connected to a separately fused, grounded line with a minimum capacity of 20 amps. It can be connected to nonfused breaker at the recommended amperes.
-
Before installing or servicing this pump, be certain pump source is disconnected.
-
Installation and electrical wiring must adhere to state and local codes and must be completed before priming pump. Check appropriate community agencies, or contact local electrical and pump professionals.
-
Call an electrician when in doubt. Pump should be connected to a separate 20 amp circuit breaker or 20 amp fuse block. Note that plugging into existing outlets may cause low voltage at motor. This could cause blown fuses, tripping of motor overload or burned out motor.
-
A permanent ground connection from pump to the grounding bar at the service panel is mandatory. These pumps come with a grounding conductor and a grounding-type attachment plug. Do not connect pump to a power supply until permanently grounded.Voltage of power supply must match the voltage of the pump.
-
Before installing pump, clear basin of any water, debris or sediment.
WARNING: Sump/Sewage basin must be vented in accordance with local plumbing codes. These sump/sewage pumps are not designed for and CANNOT be installed in locations classified as hazardous. -
The following may cause severe damage to pump and will void the warranty.
a. Using an extension cord.
b. Cutting off the ground pin or using an adapter fitting.
c. Working on pump or switch while plugged in.
d. Removing motor housing, unscrewing impeller, or otherwise removing impeller seal. Running the pump continuously. Pumping chemicals or corrosive liquids.
e. Pumping gasoline or other flammable liquids
f. Plastic PVC pipe can be installed in the outlet piping. Drain hose, galvanized steel or copper pipe may be used if desired. All piping must be clean and free of all foreign
matter to prevent clogging.
g. Pump will be inadequate if suspension liquids contain solid particles larger than 2″. -
To insure proper operation prior to installing in the basin, plug the pump into the Ion™ switch and plug the Ion™ switch plug into the wall as shown on Page 3, Figure A. Push up on the sensing plate through the center hole on the underside of the switch until the pump turns on. Release the switch and the pump will turn off.
Note: The Ion™ switch does not operate like a standard pressure switch. There are no contacts to wear out, so when pressure is applied, there will not be a click. -
Unplug the pump and switch from the wall outlet and install in the basin.
-
After the pump is installed and plumbed, measure up 6″ from the bracket mounting screw on the Ion™ switch. This is the On level, +/- 5%. See Page 3, Figure B.
ELECTRICAL WIRE CONNECTION
CAUTION: Verify that the voltage and frequency of the pump shown on the nameplate corresponds to those available on the mains. The installer must make sure that the electric system is grounded in accordance with code.
- For outdoor use it is necessary to use cable with a length of at least 10’. The plug and connection should be protected from water splashes. Before using the pump, always inspect it visually (especially power cable and plug)
