DISCHARGE PIPING AND
AUXILIARY PUMP/ALARM
FLOAT INSTALLATION
1. Discharge piping is to be installed per
FIGURE C.
Always make sure that an
individual check valve is used for each
pump to avoid re-circulation (which
could cause flooding) during pumping.
Once the pump and piping are in place,
mount the auxiliary float on the discharge
pipe.
1. Undo the hose clamp on the switch
bracket and put it around the discharge
pipe. Tighten it only to a loose fit, at
this time.
2. Adjust the auxiliary float height so that
the float will not turn on this switch until
the water level has surpassed the on
level of the main SUMP BOSS float
switch, which can be adjusted by sliding
the lower rubber stop up or down on
the float rod. This switch in turn should
be adjusted to turn on at a higher level
than your primary pump switch. See
FIGURE D
for an example.
3. Once you have your auxiliary switch set
at the desired height position so that
nothing in the basin will interfere with
its operation, tighten up the mounting
clamp.
CAUTION: Do not let the ends of the
power cords with this unit get wet
or submersed in the water during
installation.
