1. Electrical wiring and protection must be in accordance with National
Electrical Code and any other applicable state and local electrical
requirements.
2. All installations require a basin cover to prevent debris from falling into
the basin and to prevent accidental injury.
3. Securely tape or clamp power cord to discharge pipe, clear of the float
mechanism(s).
4. Use full-size discharge pipe.
5. Basin must be in accordance with applicable codes and specifications.
6. Pump must be level and float mechanism(s) clear of sides of basin
before starting pump. Float switch may be repositioned as needed.
7. Basin must be clean and free of debris after installation.
8. Gate valve or ball valve to be supplied by installer and installed
according to any and all codes.
9. Gas tight seals required to contain gases and odors.
10. Vent gases and odors to the atmosphere through vent pipe.
11. Install Zoeller Pump Stand (Model 10-2421) under pump to
provide space for settling dirt, sand, or grit".
RECOMMENDED INSTALLATION FOR ALL APPLICATIONS
EASY DO'S & DON'TS FOR INSTALLING A SUMP PUMP
1. DO read thoroughly all installation material provided with the system.
2. DO inspect system for any visible damage caused by shipping. Contact
dealer if system appears to be damaged.
3. DO clean all debris from the sump. Be sure that the pump will have
a hard, flat surface beneath it. DO NOT install on sand, gravel or dirt.
4. DO be sure that the sump is large enough to allow proper clearance
for the level control switch(es) to operate properly.
5. DO always disconnect pump from power source before handling.
6. DO always connect to a separately protected and properly grounded
circuit.
7. DO NOT ever cut, splice, or damage power cord (only splice in a
watertight junction box).
8. DO NOT carry or lift pump by its power cord.
9. DO NOT use an extension cord with a sump pump.
10. DO install a union in the discharge line.
11. DO NOT use a discharge pipe smaller than the pump discharge.
12. DO NOT use a sump pump as a trench or excavation pump, or for
pumping sewage, gasoline, or other hazardous liquids.
13. DO test system immediately after installation to be sure that the
system is working properly.
14. DO cover sump with an adequate sump cover.
15. DO review all applicable local and national codes and verify that the
installation conforms to each of them.
16. DO consult manufacturer for clarifications or questions.
17. DO inspect and test system for proper operations at least every three
months.
as necessary.
8. Install the Fit Controller (see Figure 3) by using the anchors provided.
For best cooling, install wall mount configuration. The controller
should be located at least 3' (1 m) above the sump.
9. Connect the leads from the controller to the battery terminals.
Positive (+) lead to positive terminal and black neg. (-) lead to
negative battery terminal.
CAUTION
Correct battery hook-up is essential for operation
of the system. Use wing nuts supplied with battery and eyelet
connectors on battery wire leads. The positive terminal is the
larger stud, 3/8" (10 mm) diameter. The smaller stud, 5/16" (8
mm) diameter is the negative terminal. The stud sizes on some
batteries may be identical. Apply grease to the terminals to help
prevent corrosion. Tighten slightly past finger tight with a wrench.
Always use extreme caution around batteries. Be careful not to
“cross” or “short across” the battery terminals with your wrench or
any other metal object.
10. Connect the DC pump's plug into the controller terminal.
11. Plug the controller into the 115 V wall outlet. The primary sump pump
and the controller should be on separate circuits.
12. Reconnect power to the primary sump pump.
13. The Aquanot
®
Fit Controller is designed for use with Z Control
®
.
1. The preferred method of installation for backup pumps is shown in Figure 1.
The installation kit includes the parts needed to install as in Figure 1. A
check valve is incorporated in the discharge of the backup pump.
NOTE: Do not install in small spaces where the controller will not be
properly cooled. Do not operate in > 80
º
F environment.
2. Remove all parts from the shipping carton, and make sure all parts are
included. Refer to the parts list on page 3.
3. Select a location for the battery and the controller. The controller must
be within 8' (2.4 m) of a 115 V wall outlet and within 6' (1.8 m) of pump and
basin. Connect to a separate electrical circuit from the primary pump.
4. If the primary pump is installed, disconnect power.
NOTE: Discharge piping must be 1-1/2" SCH 40 PVC
5. Ensure the O-ring is properly located on the pump discharge. Slide the
DC pump into the fitting, and tighten the hose clamp. Soapy water is
recommended as a lubricant.
NOTE: The pump must be pushed all the way into the fitting to prevent
the fitting from leaking. Place the clamp at the edge of the fitting so that
the slotted sections can sufficiently tighten around the pump discharge.
(see Figure 2)
6. Measure, cut and solvent weld any remaining discharge piping above
the tee.
7. Check pre-set float operations to ensure the hose clamp screws will not
interfere with the float operation of the primary pump. The float switch
can be moved on the discharge pipe, or the rubber stops can be adjusted
