ROUBLESHOOTING
Switch Does Not Turn On Pump
1. Test the pump without the Ion
®
switch
a. Plug the pump directly into the wall outlet,
without plugging it into the switch plug.
b. If pump still does not run, see the
troubleshooting section in the pump
manual.
c. If the pump does run, continue to the next
step.
2. Test the switch with the pump
a. Plug the pump into the Ion
®
switch and
plugging the Ion switch plug into the wall.
b. Push up on the sensing plate through the
center hole on the underside of the switch.
Note that, being an electronic switch, you
will not hear a clicking sound.
c. If the pump does not turn on, the switch will
have to be replaced.
d. If the pump does turn on, continue to the
next step.
3. Verify the range of the switch
a. The part number can be found on the
switch cord tag.
i.
IN-006… = 6” range
ii.
IN-085... = 8.5” range
iii.
IN-010… = 10” range (for special
applications)
b. For a pipe-mounted switch, see Page 2,
Installation Drawing to verify that the On
level is appropriate for your basin.
i. Lower the switch on the pipe so the
On level is at a point within the basin,
insuring that the Off level does not fall
below the minimum level shown in the
Installation Drawing.
ii. If the On level is still too high, the switch
will have to be replaced with a lower
range Ion
®
switch.
c. For a pump-mounted switch, see Page
2, Figure D to verify that the On level is
appropriate for your basin.
i. If the On level is too high, the switch will
have to be replaced with a lower range
Ion switch.

®
plug and then
unplug the Ion plug from the wall outlet.
2. Plug the pump back into the Ion

the Ion plug back into the wall outlet.
a. If the pump does not turn on right away, and
the water level is not at the On level, let the
pump go through an On / Off cycle a few
times to insure that the switch is functioning
