The model NOVUS 3000 is a float
switch based dual pump controller
intended primarily for wastewater
lift stations and other pump-down
applications. It has inputs for five
normally open float switches and
sensor inputs for the seal fail and
temperature fail sensors normally
found in submersible pumps. The
controller has indicator lamps and
test push button switches on each
of the float inputs as well as an
indicator that will illuminate if
the floats do not close in the
correct order. The controller
has built-in alternation and a
three position switch to select
automatic alternation or to select
between pump 1 and pump 2 if
alternation is off. The controller
has disable inputs for each of
the pumps. The controller has
built-in support for an alarm horn
with inputs for an external mute
button and also a mute button on
the controller front panel. There
are two alarm outputs, one for
the high alarm and one for the
low alarm. These output relays
can be set up to cycle on and
off during an alarm to support a
blinking panel alarm light. The
controller has five output relays.
Two are for the two pumps, one
each for the high and low level
alarms, and one to drive the horn.
The controller has indicator lights
and external relay drivers for the
following conditions: floats out of
order, seal fail for pumps 1 and 2,
temperature fail for pumps 1 and
2, and pump disabled for pumps
1 and 2.
Unpacking Panel:
Remove panel from carton.
When un pack ing unit, check for
con
cealed damage. Claims
for damage must be made at
the receiving end through the
delivery carrier. Dam age cannot
be processed from the factory.
WARNING: Do not attempt to
wire this control box unless you
have a good working knowledge
of electricity and are familiar
with the state and local codes. If
you are in doubt about anything,
contact a qualified electrician.
General
Information
Introduction
Do not attempt to operate this unit
on any other voltage or power
distribution other than for which
it was originally designed (check
nameplate). Failure to comply
with this will result in the
immediate cancellation of all
warranties and claims.
It is advisable to put the panel
on its own circuit using a circuit
breaker adequately sized to protect
the pump(s). Check state and local
codes for the correct wire size and
circuit protection to use. The wire
should be sized large enough to
handle the full load current of the
pump(s) you are operating and
any voltage drop that might occur
due to long service runs.
Run power supply lines to the
control box and secure (knockouts
are not supplied in this box).
Select a convenient location on
the bottom to enter the box with
the power supply. Cut a hole with
a chassis punch. Caution should
be taken not to get metal chips
in the components while cutting
hole. After the hole is cut, any
metal particles must be removed
from the box. Failure to do so may
result in premature component
failure.
Connect incoming power to the
terminal blocks labeled L1, L2,
L3, and all necessary ground
wires to the ground lug at the
bottom of the box. The ground
lug should be fastened to a good
driven earth ground by one of
the methods described in the
National Electric Code. NEC
does not permit using ground
as a current-carrying conductor,
therefore a neutral must be
provided for 115 volt 1 phase, 208
volt 1 phase, 230 volt 1 phase, or
208 volt 3 phase systems.
