and record in this manual for future reference.
CAUTION: Electrical Connections
Turn circuit breaker off before plugging or
unplugging the switch and/or pump. Always rely upon
a Certified Electrician for installation.
Piggy-Back Plug
Plug the level control plug into a 115V receptacle, then
plug the pump into the piggy-back plug.
See Figure
2, Page 6.
It is recommended that this circuit have
a 15 AMP breaker. One cycle of operation should
be observed, so that any potential problems can be
corrected.
The range of the switch is the distance between the
On and Off levels. The Off level is at the bracket
mounting screw of the switch. From this point,
measure up either 6” or 8.5”, depending on your
switch’s range, to find the On level.
Note:
The switch range is noted on the switch’s cord
label.
Note:
If you purchased a pump with the Ion switch
hard-mounted to the pump
(See Figure 3)
and the
installation requires the switch be mounted to the
pipe, the pipe-mount bracket is sold separately, PN:
IN-SPB1-1.
Thermal Protection
The normally closed (N/C) over temperature sensor
is embedded in the motor windings and will detect
excessive heat in the event an overload condition
occurs.
The thermal sensor will trip when the windings
become too hot and will automatically reset when the
pump motor cools to a safe temperature.
In the event of an over temperature, the source of
this condition should be determined and repaired
immediately. Thermal protection shall not be used as a
motor overload device.
Maintenance
Minimal maintenance is required. Perform the
following checks when pump is removed from
operation or when pump performance deteriorates:
1. Inspect motor chambers for oil level and
contamination.
2. Inspect impeller and body for excessive build-
up or clogging.
3.
Inspect motor and bearings.
4. Inspect seal for wear or leakage.
Troubleshooting
Pump does not run and/or just hums.
1.
Line circuit breaker is off, or fuse is blown or
loose
2. Water level in sump has not reached turn-on
level as indicated in installation drawing
