floats by filling the wetwell with clear water.
Important:
Failure to provide a Neutral from the power supply to a 1Ø,
230 volt Control Panel will not allow the panel control circuit
to operate. The Neutral is necessary to complete the 115
volt control circuit.
Check voltage and amperage and record the data on the
front of this manual for future reference. Compare the am-
perage readings to the pump nameplate maximum amper-
age. If higher than nameplate amperage investigate cause.
Operating the pump off the curve, i.e. with too little head or
with high or low voltage will increase amperage. The motor
will operate properly with voltage not more than 10% above
or below pump nameplate ratings. Performance within this
range will not necessarily be the same as the published
performance at the exact rated nameplate frequency and
voltage. Correct the problem before proceeding. Three
phase unbalance is also a possible cause.
See Three Phase
Power Unbalance and follow the instructions
.
Reset the Alarm circuit, place pump switch(es) in the Au-
tomatic position and Control Switch in ON position. The
system is now ready for automatic operation.
Explain the operation of the pumps, controls and alarms to
the end user. Leave the paperwork with the owner or at the
control panel if in a dry, secure location.
FLOAT SWITCH AND PANEL CHART
The purpose of this chart is to show the required switch
quantities and the function of each switch in a typical waste-
water system. The quantities required vary depending on
the switch type, single-action or wide-angle. Switch quanti-
ties also vary by panel type: simplex with and without alarms,
and duplex with alarms.
