Sump Watch SW-120V-3L High Water Alarm and Monitor

The Sump Watch High Water Alarm and Pump Monitor is designed for

monitoring a 120 V pump up to ½ HP. It is intended to fit into an existing

installation and work with Standard 120V Pumps. It is designed for outdoor

use, sun, rain, and temperature resistance, and contains only Long Life LED

Pilot lights. It’s designed for non-continuous service, defined as pumps that

generally do not run for 3 hours or more continuously, and the application

of the unit requires a pump that has integrated / thermal overload

protection.

Properly installed, Sump Watch provides control of the pump and status

lights to indicating current conditions.

Sump Watch is equipped with a high water alarm system. It activates when

the water level in the basin or sump rises above the desired level. The alarm

system includes a red LED beacon with integrated audible alarm buzzer.

The high level alarm system will automatically reset when the high level

condition is corrected. The enclosure is weatherproof to allow outdoor

installation and has a flammability rating which meets UL 94-5V. Figure 1

shows the front of the control panel.

Read and follow all instructions and safety guidelines thoroughly before

installing or operating the control panel system. Failure to follow the

instructions could result in serious bodily injury or death and/or

property/pump damage.
