The HydroCheck HC7000v2 Electronic Utility Pump Switch with Automatic Turn
On/Off, Hi-Lo Dual Sensors and Built-in Alarms automatically
controls the on/off function of any utility pump and only runs the pump when
water is present. To ensure maximum water removal, an additional
run time can be programmed using the Smart Button that begins once the water
has dropped below the Lo-Sensor. See the Troubleshooting
section for Smart Button, LED and Alarm specifications. Not rated for outdoor
use.
READ PRIOR TO INSTALLATION (How It Works):
The HC7000v2 is designed with an Additional Run Time feature that can be
programmed using the Smart Button. This feature helps to ensure
that the utility pump has pumped to its lowest possible depth by allowing it
to run for a designated amount of time after the water has dropped
below the lo-sensor. The complete operation works as follows:
-
When both the Hi-Sensor and the Lo-Sensor are detecting water, the HC7000v2 turns on the pump and operates in Hi-Lo Mode where
the sensor positions determine how long the pump runs for. -
When the water level drops below the Lo-Sensor, the HC7000v2 switches to Timed Mode, where the pump is run for an Additional Run
Time as programmed using the Smart Button. -
When the Additional Run Time expires, the HC7000v2 turns the pump off, and waits for the next cycle to begin.
Step-by-Step Installation
Step 1:| Plug the control module (A) into a 3-prong 120 VAC outlet.
NOTE: The output will turn on briefly and the LED will illuminate red.
---|---
Step 2:| Plug the utility pump power cord (B) into the control
module (A).
NOTE: The HC7000v2’s output is rated for a maximum of 1 HP and/or 15 Amps at 120 VAC.
Step 3:| Using a provided tie wrap (C), secure either one of the sensors direct-
ly to the utility pump (D) where the pump is intended to turn on. This is the Hi-Sensor (E).
Step 4:| Using the other provided tie wrap (C), secure the second sensor di- rectly to the utility pump (D) so that the tip of the sensor is positioned just above the pump’s lowest pumping capability*. This is the Lo- Sen- sor (F).
***** Refer to the pump’s manual for the exact minimum water level specifi- cations.
Step 5:| Adjust the Additional Run Time by following the Run Time Adjust ment steps on Page 2.
NOTE: This product defaults to a 5 second Additional Run Time and can be reprogrammed at anytime. See Read Prior to Installation (How It Works) above for more information about this feature.
Step 6:| TEST YOUR INSTALLATION BEFORE LEAVING IT FOR UNAT-
TENDED USE.
NOTE: This product will not work if tested in a cup of water. See the Product FAQ page on our website for more information.
Additional Run Time Adjustment
Step 1| Mute any active alarms. There should be no audible alarms when
pro- gramming the Run Time Adjustment. (See “Alarm Operation” below for
more information about muting alarms).
---|---
Step 2| Press and hold the Smart Button for approximately 5 seconds,
or until the output turns on and the light starts to flash green. The output
turning on marks the start of the Additional Run Time.
NOTE: If the pump is in the middle of a cycle, first cancel the cycle by pressing and releasing the Smart Button.
