INSTALLATION
Figure 2. Recommended Minimum Suction Line Submergence vs. Velocity
SUBMERSIBLE TRANSDUCER
This unit is equipped with an optional Electronic
Pressure Switch (EPS) that works in conjunction
with a submersible transducer. The submersible
transducer converts pressure to an electrical sig
nal proportional to liquid level. This electrical signal
is distributed to the digital display on the EPS
through a scaling circuit which converts the electri
cal signal to “feet of water”.
When installing the submersible transducer, note
the following:
a. Handle the signal cable and transducer with
care during installation.
Carefully
lower the
transducer into the wet well or sump;
do not
drop it to the bottom. To avoid clogging, sus
pend the transducer off the bottom.
b.
Be sure
to provide sufficient room in the wet
well or sump so that the transducer does not
get drawn into the suction line. To prevent this,
a flexible suction hose may be extended to lay
along the bottom of the wet well or sump. The
transducer can then be attached to the hose
above the point where it bends along the bot
tom. See Figure 3 for a typical installation.
c. The wet well or sump must be vented to at
mosphere.
d. The EPS is scaled in feet of water column. If
the measured medium is other than 1.0 spe
cific gravity, the reading on the EPS should be
divided by the specific gravity of the mea
sured medium to obtain the actual level.
e.
Thoroughly
clean the transducer after each
use to prevent clogging.
Do not
disassemble the transducer or
loosen the compression nut at the signal
cable entry.
This will void warranty.
There
are no user‐serviceable parts inside. Do
not nick or cut the jacket of the signal ca
ble; this will cause leakage and
void war
