System Operation
Apply control power to unit. Place breaker for the System Controller in the “ON” position.
Pump Operation
Automatic Mode:
Press the ‘MANUAL’ button on the System Controller until ‘AUTO’ is indicated on the display. When the timer contacts
close, the pump will start and run until the scheduled timer setting has expired. See the Controller section for setting the
timer for scheduled run times.
On Mode:
Press the ‘MANUAL’ button on the System Controller until ‘ON’ is indicated on the display. The pump motor will run until
the system is switched off, into “Auto” mode, or an alarm has been tripped.
Alarms
Alarms featured on the system include:
• Leak Detection (system shutdown, alarm indication)
o Activated when the Float Switch in the system’s drip tray detects a raised liquid level. The system will go
into an alarm state and the pump will not be allowed to be run until the alarm is addressed and cleared.
Note: Disposal of fuel and associated waste should be done in accordance with Federal, State and Local regulations.
• High Vacuum (system shutdown, alarm indication)
o Activated when the Vacuum Switch, placed on the suction side of the pump set, detects a reading above
the factory set point (12” HG). The system will go into an alarm state and the pump will not be allowed to
run until the alarm is addressed and reset.
• High Water (system shutdown, alarm indication)
o Activated when water level trips the Water Detection Alarm Module via the Water Detection Sensor
Probes located on the mechanical water separator.
Once triggered alarms are addressed, each alarm can be reset via the System Controller.

Primary Inspection
Upon arrival, the system and accessories must be visually inspected before installation. Improper handling during
shipping may cause physical or electrical problems. Immediately report or note any damages to the shipper.
Checklist
 If the packing crate shows signs of damage inspect the system for damage.
 Check the entire system for damage that could indicate internal mechanical or electrical problems.
 Check pump/motor hardware and all plumbing connections for tightness.
 Check all electrical terminals and connections for tightness.

Installation
Note: It is recommended that only qualified, experienced personnel, familiar with this type of equipment, who have read
and understood all the instructions in this manual should install, operate, and maintain the system.
Mounting
The unit should be permanently wall mounted on a hard, level surface. Use provided mounting holes located on the back
plate for proper fastening (Refer to mechanical drawing(s) for Mounting Hole Diameter). Ensure the system is level and
secure, enabling water to be more accurately sensed in the primary filter’s sump. Be sure to secure the system in a
location that allows all piping and electrical wiring to be safely routed to the system. This unit is designed for well-
ventilated indoor use within the specified temperature range and should be located as close to the tank as possible.
Electrical
!WARNING! To avoid the risk of electric shock, make sure that the power supply to the system is disconnected
and ensure that the system is at zero volts, before working on any of the system’s electrical parts.
Make sure that the system’s power requirements and rated voltage/frequency match your electrical system (see wiring
diagram). The system may only be connected to properly grounded power sources for operator safety. Connect all
components to the ground studs provided as shown on the provided drawings. The system connects to either 12VDC or
24VDC with the positive lead from your power source to the red wire and the negative lead to the gray wire. After the
initial wiring of the system check operation to ensure that it is running in the correct direction. If the motor is running in the
wrong direction, contact AXI International immediately.
!WARNING! The whole system (enclosure, doors, plumbing, motor, electric sub panel) must be properly
grounded for operator safety.
Depending on length of run, use wiring according to specification in wiring diagram and connect system to a separate UL
listed breaker (not included) appropriate for branch circuit protection. Connect the System Controller to the filtration unit
with the provided plugs and wiring harnesses.
Note: Wiring and electrical installation must be in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local rules, laws,
standards, and regulations.
Plumbing
Note: Please ensure to check all of the plumbing (joints, unions, miscellaneous fittings) for tightness prior to completion.
Use proper quality approved fuel line materials with similar inner diameter (ID) to the inlet/outlet of the system. For
extended suction side plumbing runs, it is recommended to install oversized pipe, (1/4” to 1/2” increased ID) (Ref.: Page 4
– Suction Capability). It is imperative that external, manual inlet and outlet ball valves be installed on each side of
the filtration system. That will enable it to be isolated from the external piping apparatus, eliminating the
possibility of the system to be damaged by over-pressurization of said plumbing during initial start-up testing
(IST).
Note: Flexible plumbing is strongly recommended for system inlet and outlet connections to external plumbing in order to
avoid issues with thermal expansion, prevent putting any stress on the internal fittings of the system, and enable ease of
maintenance/installation. Install manual inlet and outlet ball valves prior inlet flexible plumbing and post outlet flexible
plumbing respectively.
The pick-up tube/line(s) should originate from the lowest point of the tank to ensure all water is removed. Also, it should
be connected directly to the system’s inlet port (located on the left-hand side of the system) and be kept as short as
possible. It is recommended that an oversized, low restriction foot valve be installed to keep the system primed, especially

REV0302COM010120

if the inlet port of the system is located above the lowest possible level of fuel in the tank. Additionally, a priming tee
should be installed at the highest point of the suction line to enable priming of the pipelines and system.
The return line(s) should be plumbed to the system’s outlet port (located on the right-hand side of the system) and enter
the tank as far as possible away from the pick-up tube, close to the tank bottom.
Multiple suction and/or return lines may be connected to a manifold outside the system.
Note: Anti-Siphon or other external plumbing devices may be required by state and/or local regulations & code.
Cumulatively, the system capabilities are 10 FT. (3.05 m) suction (vertical lift), when connected to the minimum
recommended piping size (Ref.: Page 4 – Inlet/Outlet Port), or more, with no additional flow restrictions. That includes
valves, 90-degree connectors, or other plumbing accessories. For continuous optimal performance, make sure suction
and discharge lines are free of contamination, nothing is blocking the flow of fuel, and the suction line always stays
primed.
Note: Plumbing installation must be in accordance with all applicable federal, state, and local rules, laws, standards, and
regulations.
Typical Plumbing Installation (Schematically)
See provided P&ID drawing(s).
Important Installation Precautions
The suction line of the system should be independent and separate from the suction line of the engine. If that is not
possible, appropriate valves must be installed separate to the system from the engine fuel system to prevent any possible
interference with safe engine operation.
It is highly recommended to plumb the discharge line independent and separate of the engine’s fuel return line back to the
tank. If the return line from the engine and the discharge of the system must be combined in any way, adequate valves
should be installed to prevent any possible interference with safe engine operation.
