7. 

Panel operation: 

Verify that the panel is powered up. 

•  On TCOM and VCOM panels, an LED will light up indicating the 

board is operational. If the blinking light does not turn on, refer 
to the wiring diagram and verify the connections on the control 
circuit were properly terminated. 

•  On MVP, Simplex, and Duplex panels, turn on the control circuit, 

then toggle the pump “AUTO-OFF-MAN” switch to “MAN.” The 
motor contactor will visibly and audibly engage at this point. If 
the motor contactor does not engage and there are no alarm 
conditions, refer to the wiring diagram and verify the connections 
on the control circuit were properly terminated. 

NOTE:

 

For VCOM-equipped systems, place VCOM in test mode 

at this point. 

Inspection Points – Tanks and Basins

Not all tanks and basins have associated components as described below. 
Check the system plans to identify if there are associated components — 
such as splice boxes, floats, filters, or pump vaults — on each section of 
the system as you start it up.

1. 

Tank:

 Confirm with the installer that all tanks have passed 

watertightness testing. Verify the inlet and outlet of the tank and riser 
are properly installed. 

2. 

Basin:

 Verify the inlet and outlet of the basin are properly installed 

and the effluent flows through in the correct direction.

3. 

Riser:

 Inspect the riser attachment and rubber grommets for a 

watertight seal. 

4. 

Splice box:

 Inspect 

the splice box for 
correct wiring and 
the use of waterproof 
splice nuts. If there is 
water in the splice box, 
use a baster or sponge 
to remove the water.

 

WARNING:

 Failure to use waterproof wire nuts can cause 

intermittent or permanent float failure.

5. 

Effluent filter and float: 

Verify the effluent filter cartridge and 

float assembly are easy to remove for service and maintenance. 
The ability to easily remove these components is essential and 
depends upon careful installation in accordance with the instructions  
provided in Appendix B. Set components on a plastic tarp or plastic 
sheeting when they are out of the tank.

  a. Detach the float assembly from the housing, remove it from the 

tank, and lay it aside. Verify there is enough slack in the cord for 
easy removal.

  b. Pull the effluent filter cartridge out of the housing, and remove 

it from the tank. There should be ample clearance to allow 
unhindered removal of the cartridge from the housing and tank. 

  c. Slide the filter housing out of the slide rail and remove the housing 

from the tank. (Slide rail models only.)

  d. Raise the high-level alarm float to simulate a high-level condition. 

Verify that the high-level signal is on by the audible alarm or the 
high-level alarm input LED on the circuit board in the panel.

   NOTE:

 The audible alarm is delayed for 2 hours in TCOM control 

panels.

  e. When the floats and filter cartridge are out of the tank, verify the 

handles are long enough for easy access. If they are not, adjust 
them to the necessary length.

  f.  Reinstall the cartridge into the effluent filter housing and install the 

float assembly.
