Safety Information
Always observe safety precautions to reduce the risk of injury or damage. Disconnect power before performing any maintenance or service. Ensure all electrical connections comply with local codes and regulations. This unit must be installed by a qualified electrician.
Product Overview
The Liberty Pumps Model SXH24=3 is a simplex pump control panel designed to manage the operation of a single pump in various applications, typically for wastewater or effluent systems. It includes an integrated alarm system to alert users of high-level conditions or other operational issues. The control panel utilizes float switches to monitor liquid levels and activate the pump accordingly.
Image Description: A product image showing two Liberty Pumps control panels. The panel on the left is a standard control panel, while the panel on the right features an additional red alarm beacon on top. Both panels have multiple float switches extending from their bottom, indicating their function in liquid level management. These units are designed for controlling simplex pump operations and include alarm capabilities.
Setup and Installation
- Mounting the Control Panel: Select a suitable location for mounting the control panel, ensuring it is easily accessible and protected from environmental elements. Use appropriate fasteners to secure the panel to a sturdy surface.
- Electrical Connections:
- Ensure all power is disconnected at the main breaker before making any electrical connections.
- Connect the incoming power supply to the designated terminals within the control panel, following the wiring diagram provided inside the panel door.
- Connect the pump motor wiring to the appropriate terminals.
- Connect the float switch wires to their respective terminals (e.g., pump ON, pump OFF, high alarm).
- Ensure proper grounding of the control panel and pump.
- Float Switch Installation: Install the float switches at the desired liquid levels within the basin or tank. The "pump ON" float should be positioned above the "pump OFF" float. The "high alarm" float should be positioned above the "pump ON" float. Ensure floats have free movement and do not interfere with each other or other components.
- Initial Power-Up: After all connections are secure and verified, restore power to the control panel. Observe the indicator lights and listen for any unusual sounds.
Operating Instructions
The SXH24=3 control panel operates automatically based on the liquid levels detected by the float switches.
- Automatic Operation: When the liquid level rises and activates the "pump ON" float, the control panel will energize the pump. The pump will continue to run until the liquid level drops and deactivates the "pump OFF" float.
- High Alarm Condition: If the liquid level continues to rise and activates the "high alarm" float, the integrated alarm will activate, typically sounding an audible alert and illuminating a visual indicator. This signifies a potential issue such as a pump failure or excessive inflow.
- Alarm Silence/Reset: The control panel usually includes a button or switch to silence the audible alarm. The alarm will typically reset automatically once the high-level condition is resolved.
- Manual Override (if applicable): Some models may include a manual override switch for testing or emergency operation. Refer to the specific wiring diagram for your unit to determine if this feature is present and how to use it safely.
Maintenance
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and reliable operation of your control panel.
- Monthly Inspection:
- Visually inspect the control panel for any signs of damage, corrosion, or loose connections.
- Check the condition of all float switches and their cables. Ensure they move freely and are not fouled by debris.
- Test the alarm system by manually raising the high-level float (if safe to do so) or using the test button (if available).
- Annual Inspection:
- Have a qualified electrician inspect all electrical components, connections, and wiring for wear or degradation.
- Clean any dust or debris from inside the control panel enclosure.
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the control panel. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents.
