Pumping stations PSA-240/H
Item # 183036
To wire the system, two (2) in-ground double strand supply cables are required. It is preferable to protect the wires with the
appropriate piping before burying them. To pass wires through the pumping station’s wall, use watertight bulkhead union fittings.
Note: Two independant circuit-breakers must be used to connect the pump and the alarm box. Each circuit must have an
independent breaker of sufficient intensity equipped with a ground wire protection.
Important: before the pumping station start-up, check if the float holding device for the transportation has been removed. Also
check if the floats are ready and in the proper position for operation.
STEP 5 – Final backfill
•
Close the lid so nothing falls into the pumping station during backfill.
•
Isolate the pipes if required.
•
Backfill the pumping station and the pipes with material void of any organic
matter, impervious soil, stones, debris, particles larger the 20 mm (¾") in
diameter or any other object that could damage the pumping station.
•
The backfill material must be placed with care and not dumped (do not
compact with bulldozer).
•
Allow space for ground cover and make sure the lids are at least 50 mm (2") above the surface of the landscaped lot.
•
Finalise the backfill with a layer of soil that encourages vegetation growth.
STEP 6 - Alarm box installation
The pumping station is equipped with a high-water-level float connected to an alarm system. This alarm
system must be installed inside the residence (home) so it can be heard when it is activated. The following
information describes how the system works.
A red indicator lights up when the water level in the Ecoflo biofilter is unusually high. If an alarm is
activated, contact Premier Tech's After-Sales Service Department because the incident has to be
checked. To silence the alarm, press the “SILENCE” button.
The “TEST” button lets you check if the alarm system is working properly. During a test, the red indicator
should light up and an audio alarm should be heard.
In the event of a power failure, the alarm system continues to function on an emergency 9-volt alkaline battery (not supplied). Using a
rechargeable battery is not recommended.
NOTE: Replace the emergency battery every 12 months, each time the alarm is activated or whenever there is a power failure. If
the battery is weak, the system will beep once every minute. When this occurs, replace the battery immediately.
