Installation Instructions
Note: Overload protection, branch circuit protection, and main disconnect are provided by others.
- Determine where the post will be mounted on the riser.
- Access the riser by providing a 3" access hole through the riser.
- Align the post to the riser and create a 3" hole at the same height as the riser hole.
- Place the 6" conduit through the post and riser. Slip one push nut over the conduit and slide the conduit through the riser wall, as shown in the description for Figure A.
- After installation through the riser, slip the second push nut over the conduit, as shown in the description for Figure B.
- Connect incoming pump power to positions 1 and 2. For the outdoor alarm version, connect 120 VAC alarm power to positions 5 and 6, as shown in the description for Figure D.
- Pass the piggy-back plug, pump plug, and alarm float cables through the 2.5" conduit.
- With the cord seal, route the three cables through the seal, leaving approximately 8" of cable to work with. Insert both cord seals into the panel terminal adapter and the 6" piece of conduit. Tighten the hex nut until adequate strain relief is achieved. Note: Plug any open positions in the cord seal with the PVC plugs provided.
- Gather all ground wires (including the grounding conductor on the cord seal) and a washer. Route and secure to the ground terminal.
- Connect the conductors from the alarm float to positions 3 and 4. For the indoor alarm, also connect alarm wires on the top side of terminals 3 and 4, as shown in the description for Figure C. Run alarm wires back to the indoor alarm location per state and local electrical codes.
- Seal the 3/4" terminal adapter with a conduit sealing compound.
- Plug the piggy-back pump switch plug and pump plug into the cord pigtail receptacle.
- Secure the junction box cover using the two preinstalled screws.
- Turn on power.
- Check the installation by manually tipping the floats on the pump and then the alarm float.
- Test the unit periodically to ensure proper operation.
