TESTING THE UNIT
1. If not already complete, with POWER OFF mount the head unit, adjust the counterweight, and position or mount the float
switch to sense high level.
2. Plug SUMP ALARM into a 120V power supply.
3. FILL THE SUMP, POND, or cause a high-level condition using a hose or other means. STOPPING or unplugging the pump
may be required. Observe the float switch rise as the level increases.
4. CONFIRM THAT THE RED LIGHT ILLUMINATES AND HORN SOUNDS. If not, adjust the counterweights and or cable
anchoring such that the floats are active when the sump or tank is full.
5. Allow the level to lower using the pump or other means. As the water drains:
a. The RED “HIGH WATER ALARM LIGHT” should turn OFF, and AUDIBLE ALARM will STOP.
b. The cables should return to their original position without dragging or catching.
6. IT IS SUGGESTED TO FILL AND EMPTY THE SUMP SEVERAL TIMES and ensure the float switches are properly located, with
the correct range of motion, and cables are free from any obstacles.
After the TESTING check has been completed, the unit is ready for operation.
Note: Common causes of HIGH WATER ALARM include:
1. Dirt, leaves, rocks, sticks, and other debris are blocking the pump inlet.
2. The pump has been angled or turned over by the presence of the above and the level switch is permanently submerged.
3. The discharge of the pump is blocked or restricted (including frozen)
4. The pump is undersized for the application (generally a new pump which runs constantly)
5. The lower level switch is not operating properly, or is stuck.
6. The bearings or impeller internal to the pump are worn
The light is an indicator to investigate these conditions, note that only condition #6 requires work to the pump, the others would
continue indefinitely and would continue to exist in many cases even if the pump were replaced.
