INSTALLATION
Physical Installation
WARNING
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock.
- Always disconnect the electrical power before touching the pump or discharge.
- Check local electrical and building codes before installation. The installation must be in accordance with their regulations as well as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC).
-
Pump must be installed in a suitable gas-tight basin that is at least 18″ in diameter and 24″ deep and vented in accordance with local plumbing codes.
-
Clean any debris from the basin and set the pump in the center of the basin (refer to “Typical Installa-tion” on page 6). A solid bottom will prevent clogging of the pump from sand and dirt.
-
The pump must be placed on a hard, level surface. Never place the pump directly on clay, earth or gravel surfaces. These surfaces contain small stones, gravel, sand etc. that may clog or damage the pump and cause pump failure.
-
Do not attempt to restrict the intake side of these pumps. Restricting the intake may cause damage to the seal and may starve the pump. If reduced flow rates are required, place a valve on the discharge side of the pump. Or, if flexible vinyl tubing is used, a clamp can be used on the tubing to restrict the flow.
-
Connect discharge piping. Use pipe joint compound at all connections. Sump pumps can be piped to discharge into the house drainage system, to a dry well, splash block, or to a storm drain, depending on local plumbing codes. The discharge pipe should be as short as possible and contain as few elbows as possible. The discharge pipe should be the same diameter as the discharge size to reduce pipe friction losses. A smaller pipe will restrict capacity and reduce pump performance. The pump comes with a 1-1/ 2″ female pipe thread discharge.
- Support the pump and piping while assembling and when installed. Failure to do so may cause the piping to break, the pump to fail, motor bearing failures, etc.
- Always install a union in the discharge line just above the basin cover to allow for easy removal of the pump for cleaning or repair.
-
A check valve must be used in the discharge line to prevent backflow of liquid into the basin. The check valve should be a free-flow valve that will easily pass solids.
NOTICE
Risk of property damage due to flooding.- Do not install the check valve in a vertical position, as solids may settle in the valve and prevent the valve from opening on start-up. For best performance of the check valve when handling solids, install it in a horizontal position or at an angle of no more than 45°.
- When a check valve is used, drill a relief hole (1/8″ or 3/16″ in diameter) in the discharge pipe. This hole should be located below the floor line between the pump discharge and the check valve. Unless such a relief hole is provided, the pump could “air lock” and will not pump water even though it will run.
-
Tape the pump and switch cords to the discharge line with electrical tape. This will protect the cord from damage.
-
Test the operation of the pump system by following the instructions in “Operation Testing” on page 8 of this manual. Do not attempt to operate the pump without water; this will damage the seals and bear-ings and could result in permanent damage to the pump.
-
Place cover over basin. This cover will help prevent debris from entering the pit and will guard against accidental injury.
Typical Installation
Electrical Connections
WARNING
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock.
- Always disconnect the electrical power before touching the pump or discharge.
- Check local electrical and building codes before installation. The installation must be in accordance with their regulations as well as the most recent National Electrical Code (NEC).
- The flexible jacketed cord assembly mounted to the pump must not be modified in any way, with the exception of shortening the cord to fit into a control panel. Any splice between the pump and the control panel must be made within a junction box mounted outside of the basin and comply with the National Electrical Code. Employ a licensed electrician.
- Do not use the power cord for lifting the pump.
- Do not remove the third prong from the plug, or cut plug from cord. These actions will void the warranty.
- Do not use an extension cord.
Check the pump label for proper voltage required. Do not connect to voltage
other than that shown.
A ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) is required.
The pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit, with no other
outlets or equipment in the circuit line. The fuses and circuit breaker should
be of ample capacity in the electrical circuit.
Pump | HP | Voltage | Breaker Amps |
---|---|---|---|
6EC | 1/3 | 115 V | 15 A |
10EC | 1/2 | 115 V | 15 A |
The 6EC-CIA-RF and 10EC-CIA-RF pumps have automatic switches with piggyback plugs on the switch cords. For automatic operation, plug the pump cord into the float switch cord. Plug the float switch cord (with pump cord attached) into the GFCI outlet.
OPERATION TESTING
NOTICE
Risk of damage to pump or other equipment.
- Do not attempt to run the pump without water; this could result in permanent damage to the pump.
- If pump is run dry, it may damage pump and will void the warranty.
If the pump does not operate properly, consult “Troubleshooting” on page 11.
If the solution still cannot be found, please contact the place of purchase or
an authorized service center.
Do not let the unit run dry (without liquid). It is designed to be cooled by
pumping fluid. The seal may be damaged and the motor may fail if the pump is
allowed to run dry.
If the unit is going to be idle for a period of time, follow the cleaning
instructions outlined in the next section. Do not let the unit freeze. This
may cause cracking or distortion that may destroy the unit.
Testing Automatic Pump Operation
The 6EC-CIA-SFS and 10EC-CIA-SFS automatic pumps are equipped with an integral
float-operated mechanical switch. Automatic operation is achieved through the
pump cord.
The 6EC-CIA-RF and 10EC-CIA-RF pumps have automatic switches with piggyback
plugs on the switch cords. The pump must be plugged into piggyback switch cord
for automatic operation.
When these pumps are installed in a basin with a sealed cover, switch
operation cannot be observed. The basin cover will usually have a spare hole
that is plugged with a rubber plug. This plug can be removed and switch
operation can be observed.
To test system operation, follow these steps:
-
Plug the power cord into a grounded receptacle with voltage consistent with the pump voltage, as indicated on the pump nameplate.
-
Be sure the gate valve in the discharge line is open.
-
Run water into the basin until the pump is activated.
Do not attempt to run the pump without water; this could result in permanent damage to the pump. -
Confirm that the pump and its control switch are functioning as intended.
-
Confirm that the ON/OFF levels are within specification, and confirm that no potential obstructions exist that could inhibit switch operation.
-
Confirm that there are no leaks in the pump discharge plumbing and main home drain pipe plumbing. NOTE: It is normal for a stream of water to spray from the air bleed hole in the pump’s plumbing.
(Water sprays out of a hole by a bolt on the base of the unit.) Confirm that this spray is captured within the basin. -
Allow the pump to operate through several on/off cycles.
Testing Manual Pump Operation
CAUTION
Risk of bodily injury or damage to pump or other equipment.
- Manual, continuous pump operation should be used only for emergencies, or when a large volume of water is to be pumped. The pump must be continuously monitored during operation and disconnected from power before the pump runs dry.
- If an accessory float switch or other liquid level control is installed, refer to manufacturer’s instructions. Failure to install control in compliance with national and local electrical and plumbing codes and within manufacturer’s recommendations may result in electrical shock or fire hazard, unsatisfactory performance, or equipment failure.
The 6EC-CIM and 10EC-CIM manual pumps do not include an automatic liquid level
control. The pump cord for these pumps can be plugged directly into a properly
grounded receptacle with voltage consistent with the pump nameplate for
continuous pump operation.
For automatic operation of a manual pump, a separate float switch or other
liquid level control may be used. If a float switch or level control has been
added, refer to “Testing Automatic Pump Operation” on page 8 for testing
operation.
To test manual pump operation, follow these steps:
-
Connect a discharge hose to the pump’s discharge port.
-
Place pump into a basin or test reservoir.
-
Direct the opposite end of the discharge hose back into the basin or test reservoir so that the water dis-charged from the hose during testing will be contained within the basin or test reservoir. Secure the hose to prevent the water pressure created during testing from causing the hose to exit the basin or test reservoir.
-
If there is a valve on the discharge hose, be sure the valve is open.
-
Using a separate water source, fill the basin or test reservoir until the pump is fully submerged.
Do not attempt to run the pump without water; this could result in permanent damage to the pump. Do not overfill the basin or test reservoir. -
Plug the pump’s power cord into a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) receptacle with voltage con-sistent with the pump voltage, as indicated on the pump nameplate.
-
Confirm that the pump is functioning as intended.
NOTE: It is normal for a stream of water to spray from the air bleed hole in the pump’s plumbing.
(Water sprays out of a hole by a bolt on the base of the unit.) Confirm that this spray is captured within the basin. -
If pump is not functioning as intended, unplug the pump’s power cord from the receptacle and refer to “Troubleshooting” on page 11. If the solution still cannot be found, please contact the place of purchase or an authorized service center.
-
If the pump is functioning as intended, unplug the pump’s power cord from the receptacle before attempting to remove it from the basin or test reservoir.
MAINTENANCE
WARNING
Risk of severe injury or death by electrical shock, high temperatures, or
pressurized fluids.
- Always unplug the pump power cord in addition to removing the fuse or shutting off the circuit breaker before working on the pump or switch.
- Let pump cool for a minimum of 2 hours before attempting to service. Submersible pumps contain oil that becomes pressurized and hot under normal operating conditions.
