Safety Guidelines

WARNING
Before proceeding with the installation or operation of this product, read all instructions thoroughly, as well as complying with all federal, state and local codes, regulations, and practices. This product must be installed by qualified personnel familiar with all applicable local electrical and mechanical codes. Refer to the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70). Failure to properly install and test this product can result in personal injury or equipment malfunction.

Installation Instructions

Step 1: Install Post

Determine location for the post in the ground near a tank and drill access holes for the float switch cables using the customer supplied conduit/fittings or Alderon’s riser connection kit. Route the cables through access holes and wire as described in step 5. Run the direct burial power wires underneath the bottom of the post as shown in the diagram.

Note: Seal all conduits to prevent moisture and gases from entering the post per local codes.

Step 2: Remove / Install Bottom Cover

Remove the bottom enclosure cover screw, slide directly downward (2A) and pull directly away (2B). To install, line up the bottom enclosure cover with the grooves (2B), then slide directly upward (2A) until it meets the top of the enclosure so the screw hole is lined up and replace the screw at the bottom of the enclosure.

**Step 3: Remove / Install Post Cap

**

Remove Post Cap:

1. Remove Screws and Lift Cap Upwards

Install Post Cap:

1. Position text FRONT (with arrows) Forward
2. Align Fastener Holes
3. Fasten Screws to Secure Cap to Post

Step 4: Installing Wire into WAGO

Before making wire connections and terminations, carefully read this step for proper functions of both types of WAGO connectors.

WARNING: Improper use of the connectors will cause damage, DO NOT use mechanical tools to open or close, hand usage only.

Wire Termination – Splice Connector WAGO (Fig. 1):

1. Lift tab(s) upward.
2. Insert wire(s) into slot.
3. Press tab(s) downward.
4. Make sure wire(s) are secured.

Wire Connection – Quick Snap Terminal WAGO (Fig. 2):

1. Press tab(s) outward. DO NOT open past 40° angle.
2. Insert wire(s) into slot.
3. Press tab(s) inward.
4. Make sure wire(s) are secured.
   

Step 5: Wiring and Piggyback Plug Connections
The wiring diagram shows 10 terminals on the quick snap terminal blocks that consists of five pairs of connections. Make sure to read and review the connector examples in step 4 for proper installation prior to wiring.
Note: The quick snap terminal blocks, are herein referred to as “termina ” for instruction purposes. The installation example shown is for 120VAC,  for 240VAC installation the neutral (N) wire would be replaced by line connection (L2) and white wire would include a red band to indicate the wire is hot.

1. The first cable grip, starting at the right, has a cable grip divider allowing for two power sources to be brought into the enclosure. The right side of the cable grip is used for the pump power (attached in series). The line wire is connected to terminal 9 and neutral wire is terminated by the two-position Wago connector. The left side of the cable grip is used for the alarm/control power, which is connected to terminals 7 and 8. Terminal 7 is the neutral (N) connection and terminal 8 is the line connection (L1). The pump and alarm/control power ground wires are terminated using the three-position Wago connector. After bringing in the cables, firmly tighten the cable grip by twisting clockwise until securely fastened.
2. The female receptacle comes pre-installed in the middle cable grip. The line wire is connected to terminal 10, neutral wire is terminated by the two-position Wago connector, and ground wire is terminated by the three-position Wago connector.
3. The third cable grip has cable grip dividers allowing for three sensor connections. The pump control float switch is connected to terminals 1 and 2. The filter switch is connected to terminals 3  \and 4. The high level alarm float switch is connected to terminals 5 and 6. After bringing in the cables, firmly tighten the cable grip by twisting clockwise until securely fastened.
4. NEVER leave ground wire(s) exposed, use provided Wago connector for wire termination

OPTIONAL PIGGYBACK PLUG CONNECTIONS

1. Plug the male end of the piggyback plug on the in-line pump switch power cable into the pre-installed female power receptacle inside the post (5A).
2. Plug the male end of the pump power cable into the female end of the piggyback plug on the in-line pump switch power cable (5B) from #1.

Step 6: Testing and Backfill

Make sure all steps of the installation and wiring process is completed and there is power to the product.

1. TEST ALARM LEDs and BUZZER
   Press the test/silence pushbutton, lifetime pump run event counter statistic should display, then alarm LEDs should illuminate while cycling between red, green, blue, and off. The OLED screen should display a TESTING (COLOR) event for respective LEDs after event statistic is displayed. Last, the buzzer should annunciate and OLED screen should display a TESTING BUZZER event.

2. TEST ALARM FLOAT SWITCH
   Activate the alarm float switch, the red LEDs should illuminate, flashing and the buzzer should annunciate. The OLED screen should display a HIGH LEVEL ALARM event.

3. TEST ALARM SILENCE
   Press the test/silence pushbutton on the front of the enclosure while the alarm float switch is activated. The red LEDs should keep flashing and the buzzer should silence.

4. TEST FILTER SWITCH
   Activate the filter switch, the amber LEDs should illuminate, flashing and the buzzer should annunciate. The OLED screen should display a FILTER ALARM event.

5. TEST PUMP AND CONTROL/IN-LINE PUMP FLOAT SWITCH
   Make sure the tank has water to perform the testing. Activate the control/in- line pump float switch, the blue LEDs should illuminate and the OLED screen should display a PUMP RUN event and the pump amps are displayed.

6. RECOMMENDED SYSTEM SETTINGS
   Alderon™ recommends changing the factory settings for: high amp level, extended pump run time, and gallons per minute.

7. TEST WEEKLY
   To ensure the product is functioning properly, test once a week.
   BACKFILL: After installation and testing, backfill with dirt/soil.
