This dip switch serves two functions, it 

determines what type of control will be used with 
the pump and it selects the pump address. The SW 1 
(switch 1) and SW 2 are turned ON if the pump is to be 
controlled by a stand alone controller.

The SW 3 and SW 4 are turned ON/OFF to 

select the Pump address.

Connection to Remote Contacts

The controller allows speeds "

" through "4" 

to operate via remote contact closures (switch or relay). 
Speed "4" operates differently than the other three. See 
Section 2.10, Remote Closure 4 Behavior.

1. 

Turn off all switches and the main breaker that 
supplies power to the ePump™.

  WARNING

ELECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

Turn off all switches and the main breaker in the ePump™ 
electrical circuit before starting the procedure. Failure to 
comply may cause a shock hazard resulting in severe 
personal injury or death.

2. 

Connect one side of the remote contact closure 
to the COMMON terminal on J3 REMOTE 
CONTROL connector of the controller. See 
Figure 5.

3. 

Connect the other side of the remote contact 
closure to INPUT 1, INPUT 2, INPUT 3, or 
INPUT 4 terminal on J3 REMOTE CONTROL 
connector of the controller, depending on which 
speed is to be controlled.

4. 

Turn on all switches and the main breaker 
feeding power to the ePump™.

5. 

Verify the operation of the contact closures. If 
the correct speed is activated when the closure 
is activated, the ePump™ starts, and the 
message 

REMOTE ENABLED

 appears on the 

controller display.

NOTE

  When starting the pump via a remote closure, 

the pump will first run at the priming speed for 
the priming duration, as set by the installer.

Figure 4.  Connection to Remote Contacts

2.9 

Remote Operation

Speeds activated via remote closures always 

override speeds that have been activated manually or via 
an internal timer program. When the pump is activated 
via a remote closure, the keypad is disabled and the 
message 

REMOTE ENABLED

 appears on the display. 

The controller will remain in this state until 

the contact is opened. When more than one (1) contact 
closure occurs, the highest speed will take priority.

2.10  Remote Closure 4 Behavior

The behavior of speed "4" differs from manual 

operation when operated via a remote contact closure. 
As during manual operation, the turn-on time of remote 
closure 4 is immediate, and occurs at the same time 
as contact closure (For example, see Section 2.8). The 
turn-off time, however, is delayed by 30 minutes. 

In other words, when remote closure 4 is de-

activated, the ePump™ will continue to run for 30 
minutes, after which time the controller will turn off the 
ePump™. The delay may be manually interrupted by 
pressing any preset key.
