Power
1. After all the steps of the installation process have been completed, supply power to the pump switch and peform
testing.
2. “Pump Down” Models - Raise the water level in the tank or monitoring area until the “stop” probe is submerged
in water, the pump should not start. Continue raising the water level until the “start” probe is also submerged, the
pump should start, and remain on until the water level recedes below the bottom of the “stop” probe. Repeat this
process a couple of times to ensure the system is working properly.
3. “Pump Up” Models - Raise the water level in the tank or monitoring area until both the “stop” and “start” probes
are submerged in water to start the test. Lower the water level until it recedes below the bottom of the “stop” probe,
the pump should not start. Continue lowering the water level until the “start” probe is completely out of the water, the
pump should start and remain on until the water level touches the bottom of the “stop” probe. Repeat this process
a couple of times to ensure the system is working properly.
Testing the ProbeX™
The ProbeX™ uses an isolated patented circuit that detects water with no shock hazard at the probes.
1. Test system monthly to ensure pump switch and system integrity.
2. Keep both stainless steel probes clean and free of rust, mud, soap, or any type of non-conductive material by
inspecting and cleaning monthly.
Maintenance
8. For hardwire models connecting to a pilot/control circuit, refer to the wiring schematics below for 120VAC circuits
(Fig. 10) and 230VAC circuits (Fig. 11).
