Step 10: Install and Test Control Panel
Install Control Panel: 

For complete control panel installation instructions, see the 

installation manual for the electrical control panel that comes 

with your system. Instructions specific to your control panel ship 

inside of the control panel.* 

Step 10a: 

Make sure the the items supplied conform to state and 

local regulations.

Step 10b: 

A qualified and licensed electrician should install and 

service the panel and ancillary wiring in compliance with the 

National Electrical Code, as well as state and local codes. (Wir-

ing diagrams can be found in the installation manual* that comes 

with the panel.) Wiring will include the following items:

  a)  Incoming power to the panel. One or more circuits may be  

  required, depending upon the number of pumps and local  

  electrical codes. 

b)  Incoming phone line to the panel (for VeriComm

®

 control panels) 

c)  Wiring from the control panel to the pump and floats 

d)  Wiring to a discharge pump and floats (if applicable)

NOTE: 

We do not recommend installing a control panel against 

the wall of a bedroom, living room, or other living space because 

it makes a periodic thump during operation. If it must be placed 

near the house, mount it on 4 × 4 (100 × 100 mm) pressure-

treated post(s) next to the wall.

Test Control Panel:

VeriComm

®

 (VCOM) telemetry-enabled panels are used for 

remote monitoring and control of AX20-RT pumping operations. 
Fault conditions are automatically reported to the VeriComm 

Monitoring System, making the system virtually invisible to the 

homeowner. However, if fault conditions are not responded to, or 

if the system cannot communicate with the VeriComm Monitor-

ing System, then local alarms may be activated.
Perform the following procedures to verify proper installation of 

the VeriComm panel. 

NOTE: 

For more detailed procedures specific to each panel 

model, refer to the documentation that comes with the panel.*

Step 10c: 

Familiarize yourself with the components of the 

telemetry control board.
