To avoid dangerous or fatal electrical shock, turn OFF power to the WaterSwitch
12
before working on any electrical connections.
The supply voltage for the WaterSwitch must be within the stated parameters. Refer to
page 3 of the owner’s manual.
If the power supply cord or pump interconnection cord is
damaged, it must be replaced by an authorised Pentair
Water Service Agent or a similarly qualified person in order
to avoid hazard.
Before connecting WaterSwitch to an electrical power
supply, connect the pump to the WaterSwitch using the
provided IEC appliance connectors on the end of the
interconnection cords. Ensuring there are no traces of
water on the connectors, push them firmly into each other
to ensure splash proof protection. This connection should
only be separated for servicing purposes, and only after
the power supply of the WaterSwitch is removed either
through an isolation switch or by unplugging.
Ensure that the tank level sensor is securely connected to the base of the unit using
the bayonet fitting, and the lead is cable tied to the connecting pipework to help
prevent it being pulled free.
WaterSwitch is supplied with a standard Australian 10A plug and cord, and connection
to the power supply is a matter of inserting the plug into the suitable socket outlet.
If local authorities require the WaterSwitch and pump to be hard wired, the electrical
connection must be done by a qualified electrician with pump knowledge according to
the National Wiring rules (AS/NZS 3000) and/or any local council requirements.
We recommend to connect WaterSwitch to a socket outlet protected by a Residual
Current Device - RCD (Also known as an Earth Leakage Circuit Breaker – ELCB) with
a rated tripping current not exceeding 30mA. Contact a qualified electrician if you
cannot verify that the socket outlet is protected by RCD. RCD tripping indicates
an electrical problem. If the RCD trips and will not reset have a qualifi ed electrician
inspect and repair electrical system
Once installation is completed, switch on the socket outlet switch (or the isolating
switch in the installation) on. Refer to pump manual for further installation details.
