About SPM-010 Sump Pump Monitor/Control Unit
SPM-010 is a Bluetooth Low Energy Monitor/Control Unit (device). The SPM-010 communicates with
smartphone or tablets. This combination forms the SPM-010 Monitor / Control System (SPM-010 or
system). The system constantly informs home owner about sump water level, power condition of sump
pump and temperature near the sump. Also, system provides efficient control of sump pump and
messaging service in critical conditions.
The advantages of SPM-010 are:
-Independence from home WiFi and internet stability
-Indication of the actual water level, power status and temperature at any given time
-Effective pump control
-Ability to operate in case of power outage

Water level (with adjustable alarm level), air temperature device operational status and device battery
charging status. All these parameters are visible on smartphone or tablet at any time (see Figure 1 as
normal operation example screen). SPM-010 has an internal rechargeable battery, produces audio alarm
and can operate independently from smartphone or tablet.
Sump Pump control function is optional and requires to use SSR-CU module.

Installation and Adjustment
Note: In case default calibration data does not match the actual depth of the sump, the WS-010 Water
level sensor needs to be calibrated in accordance with procedure described in WS-010 Sensor
Calibration Instruction.
WS Sensor Installation
Wire Sensor can be installed by two ways. First way, it can be attached to sump pump discharge pipe. It
allows to avoid WS-010 floating and blocking pump sensor. See Figure 5 for this connection method.
The WS-010 is installed vertically on the PVC discharge pipe of the sump pump. The sensor wire attaches
to the PVC pipe with zip ties. Place the sealed end of the sensor wire as far down the discharge pipe as
possible. Care must be taken to secure the sensor wire to the discharge pipe to avoid it being sucked

1. Find the SIP installation location. The location shall meet the following criteria:
a) Be far enough from sump pump switch and pump
b) Be installed at deepest area
2. Measure external diameter (Dext) of SIP and drill mounting hole (hole diameter is Dext) in the
chosen cover installation area.
3. Measure the Lsump (see Figure 6) and keep record.
4. Cut SIP bottom edge as shown on Figure 6.

Resistive Sensor (KUS / SSS), SPM-010 and SSR-CU Installation
The SPM-010 with KUS/SSS resistive sensor can be used in multiple configurations. It can be used for
monitoring, monitoring and pump control and for monitoring and redundant (emergency) pump control.
All installation cases are shown in Figure 7, Figure 8 and Figure 9. Use Figure 4 SPM-010 connection
diagram for SPM-010 connection. Note: The SSR-CU unit (or relay device with similar electrical
characteristics) needs to be used to implement pump control function.
The resistive sensor installation method is the same for all system installation variants. The hole (equal
to sensor float diameter) should be drilled in sump cover. Sensor shall be installed far from sump pump
switch and pump.
