Pump Power Supply:
Run a pump supply power circuit, sufficient to meet the voltage and amperage needs of the pump,
from the breaker box through the appropriate conduit and into the panel. Land the incoming power wires (L1 and L2/N)
directly onto the bottom of the pump circuit breaker. Land the ground wire to the panel’s ground lug.
8.
Pump Cord:
Fish the pump power cord through the appropriate conduit and land the cord wires onto terminals T1 and T2
next to the circuit breaker. Connect the black lead to T1 and the white lead to T2. Land the ground wire to the panel’s
ground lug.
9.
Control/Alarm Power Supply:
Identify whether the panel model for your installation includes a fused disconnect (L3) located
to the right of the pump connection terminals.
a.
Fused Disconnect:
If your application has the fused disconnect, run a 120V supply power circuit from the breaker box
through the appropriate conduit and into the panel. Land the incoming hot wire (black) to the bottom of the fused
disconnect (L3). Land the neutral wire (white) to the circuit board terminal labeled NEUT. Land the ground wire to the
panel’s ground lug. Panels with the fused disconnect will have a jumper preinstalled between circuit board terminals
‘Alarm AC’ and ‘Control AC’.
b.
No Fused Disconnect:
If your application does not have the fused disconnect, you have a choice to run one 120V circuit
to serve both the control and alarm systems, or two 120V circuits to separate the control power from the alarm power.
Running two circuits has the advantage of extra protection against a single breaker trip that could sever power to both
control and alarm circuits in the panel.
i. If using one power supply for both the control and alarm systems, run a 120V power circuit from the breaker box
through the appropriate conduit and into the panel. Land the incoming hot wire (black) to the circuit board terminal
labeled ‘Alarm AC’. Land the neutral wire (white) to the circuit board terminal labeled ‘NEUT’. Land the ground wire
to the panel’s ground lug. Remove the included forked jumper wire from the pouch on the inner door and install
it between the two circuit board terminals labeled ‘Alarm AC’ and ‘Control AC’.
Both terminals (‘Alarm AC’ and
‘Control AC’ must be powered for the panel to function properly.
Land the ground wire to the panel’s ground lug.
ii. If using separate power supplies for the control and alarm circuits, run two 120V power circuits from the breaker box
through the appropriate conduit(s) and into the panel. Land the incoming hot wire (black) for the alarm power to
the circuit board terminal ‘Alarm AC’. Land the incoming hot wire (black) for the control power to the circuit board
terminal ‘Control AC’. Land the neutral wires (white) for both circuits to the board terminal ‘NEUT’. Land the ground
wires to the ground lug.

Seal Conduits:
All conduits must be sealed on both ends using an appropriate duct seal putty. Silicone or other caulks
should not be used to seal conduits as they are not maintenance friendly and may still allow dangerous gasses to pass the
barrier.
11.
Dry Contacts:
The panel comes with a set of dry contacts on the control board. One is normally-open and the other normally-
closed. They share a common. These switching contacts will change states during a high water alarm condition.
Startup and Operation
The Pivot RL panel features a Hand/Off/Auto switch (HOA) on the control board which sets the operation of the system. The
audible and visual High Water Alarm will respond to a tripped ‘High Water’ float regardless of the position of the HOA switch.
Should an alarm occur, the audible component of the alarm can be silenced by pressing down on the ‘Silence’ switch on the
external right side of the panel enclosure.
When the HOA is set to ‘Off’, the system will ignore input from the ‘Stop’ and ‘Start’ floats and will not operate the pump. When
the HOA is set to ‘On’, the system will immediately call the motor contactor to engage, allowing the pump to operate (a tripped
pump circuit breaker will prevent the pump from running). When the HOA is set to ‘Auto’, the system will automatically start
and stop the pump based on input from the float switches. If both ‘Stop’ float and ‘Start’ float rise, the system will call the pump
to operate, and the pump will continue operating until the ‘Stop’ float drops out.
1. Verify that there is sufficient water in the tank to operate the pump.
2. Set the pump circuit breaker in the panel to ‘Off’, and the Hand/Off/Auto switch (HOA) on the circuit board to ‘Off’.
3. Turn on all source power breakers to supply incoming power to the Control, Alarm, and Pump circuits.
Note: If the tank has sufficient water to trip the High Water float, the alarm will sound. Pressing down on the Test/Silence
switch on the exterior of the panel will silence the audible alarm.
