)
1. Determine bracket mounting position (Figure
A).
2. Mount bracket to Ion
®
switch with screw already
provided in Ion
®
switch (Figure B).
3. Mount Hose Clamp with switch around pipe
at predetermined level. Cable should remain
outside hose clamp (Figure C).
4. Tighten hose clamp.
Note:
The Ion
®
switch is available in 6” or 8.5” ranges.
A 10” range is available for special applications. See
chart for available ranges and cord lengths. The range
of the switch is the distance between the On and Off
levels. The Off level is at the bracket mounting screw
of the switch. From this point, measure up either 6” or
8.5”, depending on your switch’s range, to find the On
level. Please refer to the Installation Drawing.
CAUTION:
Bottom of switch should not be
mounted lower than suction inlet of pump.
When installing the Ion
®
switch with the pipe mounted
bracket be sure not to set the switch too low or too
high on the pipe. The Ion
®
must be installed above the
inlet of the pump to prevent air-locking as shown in
the installation drawing.
To prevent flooding do not set the on point of the
switch higher than the top of the basin.

NSTALLATION
Electrical outlet must not be located in pump pit.
Electrical outlet voltage, piggy-back plug voltage and
pump voltage must all be the same voltage.
DO NOT CUT plug off unit.
Ensure vent tube on plug is protected from moisture,
dirt and insects and other items that could plug or
block tube.
1. Insert the Ion
®
switch’s piggy-back plug into
the outlet.
2. Plug pump into piggy-back plug as (Figure E).
3. Allow system to cycle to ensure proper
installation.
Please note this product may not work in
conjunction with other controllers.
Note:
The Ion
®
switch does not operate like a standard
pressure switch. There are no contacts to wear out,
so when pressure is applied, there will not be a click.
