Macerating Unit

 

User Interface

The macerator has a user 

interface (touchpad with LEDs) 

located on the top left side of 

the unit.
This interface has three LEDs: 

ALARM

: unit is unable to 

evacuate the holding tank or 

cannot keep up with the 

incoming flow. Audible alarm 

also activates.

LOW BATTERY

: 9V battery needs 

to be replaced.

POWER

: unit has power.

The interface also has two 

pushbuttons:

PUSH to Silence:

 silences the 

audible alarm.

PUSH to Run:

 overrides the 

internal switch to manually run 

the macerator and pump.

 Alarm 

The macerator has an integral alarm that will sound if the unit 

cannot remove liquid or keep up with incoming water. If the alarm 

sounds, a number of conditions could exist. Refer to the 

Troubleshooting section to determine the cause and solution.
A silence button located on the user interface touchpad stops the 

audible alarm. The red alarm LED will continue to illuminate. 

Discontinue using the product until the problem has been 

identified and resolved.

IMPORTANT: 

In the event of a power outage, a 9V battery will 

power the alarm, and if necessary, the macerator will accept two 

flushes prior to alarm activation. After that, 

the unit should not be 

used again until the power is restored

. The alarm automatically 

resets once a normal cycle is performed.

 Low Battery 

If the yellow LED is illuminated, the 9V battery needs to be 

replaced. The expected life of the supplied battery is 5 to 7 years.

 Power 

The LED will be green when power is applied, but LED must be 

steady to operate. Both decorative covers must be properly in 

place to engage safety switch.

 

Decorative Covers

The decorative covers are shipped 

from the factory assembled on the 

unit. However, during the installation 

both covers must be removed from 

the macerator.

 

Battery Access

The battery receptacle is accessible 

under the left decorative cover. Do not 

install battery until the unit has been 

installed, connected, and ready for 

operation.

 

Auxiliary Inlets

The macerator unit is equipped with 

two inlet ports, one on each side. 

These ports are designed for standard 

PVC pipe. Included with the system are 

two 2” flexible PVC couplers and 

1-1/2” reducing bushings. These inlets, 

which incorporate an internal check 

valve, are used to connect the 

drainpipe of other sanitary fixtures to 

the macerating pump unit.
Typically, the 2” drain is used with 

shower stalls only. A tub, shower/tub 

combo, or sink would use a 1-1/2” 

drain line. From the factory, the 

auxiliary inlets are plugged; if the port 

is to be used, the plug must be removed by rotating until the rib is 

vertical and then pulling outward. If the unit has been stored for 

some time, pliers may be needed to assist in removal.

 

Access Cover

The macerator has an access cover that 

can be removed to gain access to the 

pumping and macerating cartridge to 

remove debris or perform service. The 

auxiliary inlet couplers, Allen wrench, 

grease packet, clamps, and 9V battery 

are shipped in the access cover 

beneath the right access cover.

Preparation

 

The pump shall be plugged into a properly fused electrical 

outlet with a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) that 

conforms to current National Electric Code (NEC) and all 

applicable local codes. All wiring must be performed by 

qualified personnel.

 

Pump shall be properly grounded using its supplied 

grounding conductor. Do not bypass grounding wires or 

remove ground prong from attachment plugs. Failure to 

properly ground the pump system can cause all metal 

portions of the pump and its surroundings to become 

energized.

 

The electrical power supply shall be located within the length 

limitations of the pump power cord, and for below grade 

installations it shall be at least 4 ft (1.22 m) above floor level.
