HC5000T Sewage Pump Switch
with Programmable Cycle Length and Built-in Alarms
Overview:
The HydroCheck
HC5000T Electronic Sewage Pump Switch with Programmable Cycle Length and Built-in Alarms
is compatible with all
sewage/ejector pumps and is designed to replace traditional float switches. Use the Smart Button to easily program a precise cycle length for
your sewage pump that will begin when liquid reaches the sensor tip. See
Troubleshooting
section for Smart Button, LED and Alarm specifica-
tions. Not rated for outdoor use.
READ PRIOR TO INSTALLATION:
1.
The
“piggyback plug”
attached to the mechanical float switch
cannot be used with the HC5000T
.
It must be disconnected and
remain disconnected.
2.
If your sewage pump has
internal float switch wiring
, i.e. does not have a “piggyback plug”, then you
must
secure the float in an
upward position
as if the pit were full. This assures that the internal switch is always closed and that the pump is always enabled.
Step-by-Step Installation
Run Time Adjustment
Step 1
For an ideal installation, drill a 9/16” hole through the sewage pit
cover. Insert the
sensor
(A) through the provided
rubber grom-
met
(B).
Step 2
Lower the
sensor
(A) into the pit so that the tip of the sensor is
approximately 1" below the inlet pipe to the pit.
NOTE:
Make sure the sensor is hanging freely and is not in con-
tact with anything else in the pit, such as the pump's power cord,
the wall of the pit, etc.
Step 3
Using the provided
tie wrap
(C), secure the sensor cable to a por-
tion of the
discharge pipe
(D) that is located outside of the pit so
that the sensor does not drop lower in the pit.
Step 4
Securely plug the drilled hole with the
rubber grommet
(B).
NOTE:
Only applicable if a hole was drilled in Step 1.
Step 5
Plug the
control module
(E) into a 3-prong 120 VAC outlet.
Step 6
Plug the
pump's power cord
(F) into the front of the
control
module
(E).
Step 7
Adjust the run time by following the
Run Time Adjustment
steps
in the table below.
NOTE:
This product defaults to a 10 second run time and can be
reprogrammed at anytime. Achieving the optimal pump cycle
length may take several attempts.
Step 8
TEST YOUR INSTALLATION BEFORE LEAVING IT FOR UNAT-
TENDED USE.
NOTE:
This product
will not work if tested in a cup of water.
See
How the Sensor Works: Why won’t my pump turn on?
below.
Step 1
Silence or eliminate all active alarms: There should be no audible alarms active (See
“Smart Button Features”
on how to disable
alarm).
Step 2
Press and hold the
Smart
Button
for approximately 5 seconds, or until the output turns on and the LED starts to flash green. The
output turning on marks the start of the desired run time.
NOTE:
If the pump is in the middle of a cycle, first cancel the cycle by pressing and releasing the Smart Button.
Step 3
Release the
Smart
Button
when the desired run time is reached. The output will turn off and the switch is now reprogrammed with
the new run time.
NOTE:
Loss of power does not affect the programmed run time.
