Step 11: Test System Function
Once power is connected to the control panel, follow these steps
to prepare the system for operation.
IMPORTANT:
Before using a generator to operate a pump,
contact Orenco or your Dealer to make sure it can supply suffi-
cient starting amperage.
NOTE:
When testing pumps, always make sure there is enough
water in the unit to safely run the pumps.
Step 11a:
Open the manifold valve and the lateral ball valves
and then toggle the “AUTO/OFF/MAN” switch for the recirc
pump to “MAN” for 5-10 seconds to flush any debris out of
the manifold and laterals. Close the lateral ball valves. With the
recirc pump still in “MAN,” remove several orifice shields and
measure squirt height. Squirt height should measure between
3-5 ft (0.9-1.5 m). Windy conditions will cause a lower squirt
height. When finished, return the “AUTO/OFF/MAN” switch to
“AUTO.”
NOTE:
If the desired squirt height is not achieved or the unit
does not pressurize, check for debris, breaks, or closed valves.
Also verify that the pump is receiving sufficient power. If the unit
still does not pressurize correctly, contact your Dealer or Orenco
for technical assistance.
Step 11b:
Place the panel in Test Mode. Check the function of
the recirc pump floats by lifting the low-level, mid-level, and
high-level float in turn and verifying that the pump cycles on and
off for each. If the unit is not equipped with a discharge pump,
take the control panel out of Test Mode at this time.
Step 11c:
If the unit has a discharge pump, make sure there is
enough water on the discharge side of the tank baffle for the
pump to run. Make sure the panel is in Test Mode. Check the
function of the discharge pump floats by lifting the low-level,
mid-level, and high-level float in turn and verifying that the
pump cycles on and off for each. When you are finished, take the
control panel out of Test Mode.
Step 11d:
Close and bolt down the AX20-RT unit lid when you
are finished.
