Float System Features
Hand Run Buttons
RK panels include push-to-run (HAND) pushbuttons for the motor starters
output and a push-to-test (TEST) pushbutton for the alarm output accessible
on the subdoor. The push-to-run (HAND) pushbuttons toggle their respective
outputs off and on each time pushed under normal operation. However, to
protect the pumps should the sump go below the "Pump(s) Off" float, the
HAND pushbuttons revert to momentary contact and must be held down
to maintain its respective output on. This is a safety feature that keeps the
pumps from running dry.
Audible Alarm Circuitry
RK panels come standard with an audible piezo alarm (95 db +/-) and the
exclusive side mounted “Touch-To-Silence” pad (patents pending). With this
feature the user is able to silence the audible by simply touching the decal on
the side of the enclosure.
Blown Fuse Indicators
These lights are located above the fuses on the subdoor. If a fuse is blown,
the indicator above the blown fuse will light up and the power light on the
subdoor control center for that circuit will be off. However, if the power light
is off and the blown fuse light is not lit then that circuit is not getting any
power.
Alternation and Lag Delay (Duplex Controllers Only)
On the duplex controller the float indications are labeled "Lead Pump" and
"Lag Pump" because there is a built in alternator in the controller. The
alternator cycles which pump is the lead pump after each pump run cycle.
The non-adjustable delay causes the lag pump to wait ten seconds before
turning on after the lead pump has turned on. This is useful during a power
outage when the liquid level may reach the lag pump setting. The lead
pump will turn on when power is restored and the lag pump will turn on ten
seconds later.
