FEATURES
1. First of its kind, solid-state sensing technology with no moving parts.
2. Space age design with no mechanical contact points.
3. Multipoint sealing mechanism that supersedes single surface seals.
4. Inverter rated for use with any battery back-up system.
5. Standard piggy back connection for use with any pump.
6. Suitable for sump and sewage applications.
PIPE MOUNTING BRACKET (OPTIONAL)
1. Determine bracket mounting position (Figure A). 2. Mount bracket to Ion® switch with screw already
provided in Ion® switch (Figure B). 3. Mount hose clamp with switch around pipe
at predetermined level. Cable should remain outside hose clamp (Figure C). 4. Tighten hose clamp. Note: The Ion® switch is available in a 6" range. The range of the switch is the distance between the On and Off levels. The Off level is at the bracket mounting screw of the switch. From this point, measure up 6" to find the On level. Please refer to the Installation Drawing.

CAUTION: Bottom of switch should not be mounted lower than suction inlet of pump. When installing the Ion® switch with the pipe mounted bracket be sure not to set the switch too low or too high on the pipe. The Ion® switch must be installed above the inlet of the pump to prevent air-locking as shown in the installation drawing.
To prevent flooding do not set the on point of the switch higher than the top of the basin.

PIGGY-BACK INSTALLATION
Electrical outlet must not be located in pump pit.
Electrical outlet voltage, piggy-back plug voltage and pump voltage must all be the same voltage.
DO NOT CUT plug off unit.
Ensure vent tube on plug is protected from moisture, dirt and insects and other items that could plug or block tube.
1. Insert the Ion® switch's piggy-back plug into the outlet.
2. Plug pump into piggy-back plug as (Figure E).
3. Allow system to cycle to ensure proper installation.
Please note this product may not work in conjunction with other controllers.
Safety PrecautionS
CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, ensure product is connected to a grounded outlet. The electrical outlet should be properly wired to a dedicated 15A circuit breaker. Proper short-circuit and overload protection must be provided at the distribution panel. Install in accordance with all local

TROUBLESHOOTING
Switch Does Not Turn On Pump 1. Test the pump without the Ion® switch
a. Plug the pump directly into the wall outlet, without plugging it into the switch plug.
b. If pump still does not run, see the troubleshooting section in the pump manual.
c. If the pump does run, continue to the next step.
2. Test the switch with the pump
a. Plug the pump into the Ion® switch and plug the Ion switch plug into the wall.
b. Push up on the sensing plate through the diaphragm surface. Please don't use any sharp object to push against the diaphragm. You may hear a small click sound when the pump is turned on.
c. If the pump does not turn on, the switch will have to be replaced.
d. If the pump does turn on, continue to the next step.
3. Verify the range of the switch
a. The part number can be found on the switch cord tag.
i. IN-006... = 6" range
b. For a pipe-mounted switch, see Page 2, Installation Drawing to verify that the On level is appropriate for your basin.
i. Lower the switch on the pipe so the On level is at a point within the basin, insuring that the Off level does not fall below the minimum level shown in the Installation Drawing.
ii. If the On level is still too high, the switch will have to be replaced with a lower

range Ion® switch.
c. For a pump-mounted switch, see Page 2, Figure D to verify that the On level is appropriate for your basin.
i. If the On level is too high, the switch will have to be replaced with a lower range Ion switch.
Switch Does Not Turn Off Pump 1. Unplug the pump from the Ion® plug and then unplug the Ion plug from the wall outlet.
2. Plug the pump back into the Ion® plug and plug the Ion plug back into the wall outlet.
a. If the pump does not turn on right away, and the water level is not at the On level, let the pump go through an On / Off cycle a few times to insure that the switch is functioning properly. The basin may need to be filled with a garden hose or bucket.
b. If the pump turns on right away, and the water level is not at the On level, the switch will have to be replaced.
WARRANTY IS VOID IF...
1. Using an extension cord.
2. Power cord has been cut or the grounding prong removed or using an adapter fitting.
3. The switch has been disassembled or tampered with.
4. Any tags or labels have been removed.
5. Used in a heavy grease application
6. Used in applications exceeding the designed temperature range of 32 - 104 degrees F.
