Once unit is ready for testing:

•      Verify  that  the  pit  is  free  of  ANY  debris 

and power cords are properly placed out 

of way. 

•    With control panel ON, verify that pump(s) 

operate  manually  using  the  HAND  mode 

inside the control panel.

 

•    With  control  panel  ON,  verify  that  the 

pump(s)  operate  automatically  using  the 

AUTO mode inside the control panel. 

•    Third  float  will  activate  the  ALARM 

BEACON on control panel on a 3-float system. 

•    Fill basin with water and confirm that pumps are operating (and alternating if a duplex system) properly. 

Do not run dry for more than a few seconds as this will damage the pump’s mechanical seal.
