ALDERON Industries CKIT1S Check It Simplex Pump Station Control Panel Instructions

Introduction

Product Overview

The Check It™ Simplex control panel is designed to operate a single sewage pump in demand dose applications. It supports both 120VAC and 230VAC pumps within specified FLA ranges and has a Type 4X (indoor/outdoor) enclosure.

The panel offers up to four float inputs: low level alarm, stop level, start level, and high alarm or high alarm/start level. The pump starts when the liquid level rises and activates the start level switch, and runs until the pump stop switch is deactivated, ending the cycle. If the low level float deactivates, a low level alarm will be triggered and the pump will turn off. The high level float will trigger a high level alarm when activated.

Description of Product Interface

The following sections will describe all of the interface points with the Check It™, including all buttons, indicator outputs, and sensor inputs for the system.

Outside of the Panel

Each Check It™ panel is equipped with a test/silence switch, an Red-Green (RG) indicator LED, and a buzzer. The test/silence switch is used to activate an indicator test routine to verify the beacon, buzzer, and LED indicators are all functioning properly. The Red-Green beacon will by default be illuminated green while the system is normal and monitoring, will blink green while the pump is running, and will blink red when there is an alarm. If both an alarm and a pump run event are happening simultaneously, the beacon will alternate between Red and Green. If the pump is not enabled (set to OFF mode), the beacon will blink a yellow warning to the user.

Inside of the Panel

HOA Switch
The Check It™ features a Hand-Off-Auto (HOA) selector switch. When set all the way up, the pump will enter hand mode and the contactor output from the Check It™ will activate. When in the middle, the pump will be in OFF mode and will not activate during pump starting events. When set all the way down, the pump will be in auto mode and will be turned on during pump start events. Note that if the pump is set to OFF, the RG beacon will blink yellow to warn the user that the system will be unable to activate the pump.

Test/Config Button
The Test/Config button is used to activate the indicator test routine, to clear active alarms, and the modify the system settings. See the “How To Clear an Alarm” section for details on alarm clearing and the “How to View and Change Settings” section for details on configuring the device.

Indicator LEDs
The Check It™ features indicator LEDs for each sensor input as well as an indicator LED for the pump. The F1 through F4 LEDs indicate the state of the float inputs. the S1 LED indicates if the seal fail sensor input is tripped or not. The Pump Run LED indicates whether or not the pump is running. Note that if the Pump Run LED is blinking, that means that pump’s seal fail sensor has been tripped.

Auxiliary Dry Contact
The Check It™ features a single auxiliary dry contact alarm output with both normally open and normally closed connections. This dry contact output will activate during any alarm condition. Additionally, the contact will be active when the product loses power, allowing for power loss detection and alarming when connected to building automation systems.

Sensor Connections

Float Sensors
The F1 through F4 inputs are designed for standard signal level gold contact floats. They are powered by an isolated 3.3 Volt low power and touch safe power source generated by the Check It™ circuit board.

Seal Fail Sensors
The S1input is a water detecting probe circuit designed for use with stainless steel pump seal fail probes. Itis powered by an isolated 12 Volt alternating, low power and touch safe power source generated by the Check It™ circuit board. Next to the seal fail sensor input, there is a “SEAL SENSITIVITY” adjustment potentiometer. This can be used to adjust the trip point of the seal fail probe between 10 and 100 Kilo-Ohms of equivalent resistance through water. 100 K is the most sensitive setting, and 10 K is the least sensitive.

How To Clear an Alarm

If automatic alarm reset is disabled, the user must manually clear all alarm events. To do this, activate and hold the Test/Silence switch on the side of the panel or the Test/Config button on the product chassis for 5 seconds. This will reset all active alarms. Note that if the alarm immediately re-activates and the buzzer activates again, this means that the alarm condition is still present and the system cannot clear the alarm. If this happens, check for the source of the alarm.

Settings

The Check It™ panel has several settings that the user can use to customize the panel for the application. This section will describe how to change the settings and provide a list of the available settings.

How to View and Change Settings

Press and hold the test/configure pushbutton on the Check It™ chassis to begin the setting viewing and changing routine. The system will immediately begin a test blinking pattern of all indicator outputs. After holding for 5 seconds, the setting viewing and changing routine will begin. The routine is as follows:

1. LED Test Pattern; Press and hold the Test/Config button.
   • The LED indicator outputs, buzzer, and beacon will all begin blinking in a test pattern.
2. View Settings; Hold the Test/Config button for 5 seconds.
   • The test blinking pattern will stop and the indicator LEDs will display the current system settings.
   • If an indicator LED is ON, that means the setting is enabled. Otherwise, the setting is disabled.
   • See the “Available Settings” section for a summary of the configs and which LED they are indicated by.
3. Toggle Settings; Hold the Test/Config button for another 5 seconds to change a setting.
   • A fastblinking pattern will begin to move through the indicator LEDs from left to right and then up to the green beacon.
   • This fast blinking pattern indicates which setting is currently selected.
   • Totoggle a setting, release the Test/Config button while the desired Setting Indicator LED is blinking.
   • After releasing the Test/Config button, a medium blinking pattern will confirm which setting was toggled, after which the system will display the new system settings followed by a burst of fast blinks before the system returns to normal operation..
4. Exit Without Saving; To exit without changing any settings, keep holding the Test/Config button until the fast blinking pattern moves through all of the indicator LEDs and the system returns to the test blinking pattern. The Test/Config button can now be released without changing any settings.

Automatic Low-Alarm Enable

The low alarm input of the Check It™ is disabled by default to remove the need for installing jumpers on panels that do not use it. However, the system will automatically enable this input if it detects a closed float connected to it for at least 30 seconds.

Available Settings

detection. If the floats activate out of sequence (e.g., the high level float activates before the start float) the system will alarm.
Automatic Alarm Reset| F2 LED| Enabled| Enables automatic alarm resetting. If enabled, the R system will automatically stop alarming once the alarm condition is resolved. If disabled, the user must manually clear each alarm by holding the test/silence switch.
High Redundant Start Enable| F3 LED| Enabled| fInat Enables es redundant redundant pump tarting sarting on on the the high high alarm
Seal Fail Pump Stop Enable| F4 LED| Disabled| If enabled, this will cause the pump to stop when the seal fail input has been triggered.
Seal Fail Buzzer Enable| S1LED| Enabled| If enabled, the buzzer will enunciate when the seal fail input is triggered. If disabled, only the beacon will activate.
Green System Normal Beacon Enable| Breen Beacon| Enabled| If enabled, the beacon will be illuminated green when the system is normal. If disabled, the green beacon will only activate when one of the pumps are running.
