Introduction
Before proceeding with the installation or operation of the control panel read all instructions thoroughly
as well as comply with all Federal, State and Local Codes, Regulations and Practices. The control
panel must be installed by qualified personnel familiar with all applicable local electrical and mechanical
codes. Refer to the National Electrical Code (NFPA 70). Failure to properly install and test this product
can result in personal injury or equipment malfunction. All conduit connected to the panel must be
sealed with conduit sealant to prevent moisture or gases from entering the panel. NEMA 1 enclosures
are for indoor use only while NEMA 4X panel enclosures may be used indoors or outdoors. Refer to
panel model name-plate on inside of door for enclosure rating. Note: If options are ordered that affect
the number of floats, refer to the panel schematic for complete information.

SafetyGuidelines
1. DO NOT USE WITH FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, FUEL OIL, KERO-
SENE, ETC. DO NOT USE IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES. CONTROL PANEL SHOULD ONLY BE
USED IN WATER AND WASTEWATER APPLICATIONS THAT ARE NOT RATED AS A HAZARDOUS
LOCATION.
2. DO NOT WORK ON THE CONTROL PANEL WITH LIVE VOLTAGE APPLIED TO THE CONTROL
PANEL WITH WET HANDS OR WHEN STANDING ON A WET SURFACE.
3. DISCONNECT ALL ELECTRICAL SERVICE BEFORE WORKING OR HANDLING THE CONTROL
PANEL.
4. INCOMING VOLTAGE MUST MATCH THE CONTROL PANEL VOLTAGE. REFER TO THE PANEL
SCHEMATIC FOR COMPLETE INFORMATION.
InstallationoftheControlPanel:
1. Determine mounting location for the control panel. If splicing is required between the level
switches and the panel, we recommend a junction box. CAUTION! Use conduit sealant and
waterproof wire nuts for connections. Make sure all connections are water tight.
2. Determine conduit entrance locations on control panel and install per local codes. Check sche-
matic and determine number of power sources required. Use conduit sealant on all conduits to
prevent moisture and gases from entering control panel.
3. Connect control/alarm and pump power conductors to the proper terminals. The schematic and
terminal blocks will be labeled for proper connection.
4. Verify correct panel operation after installation of panel, power and level switches are complete.

#2. Use the empty space on the top right side of the control panel to mount the Starter Pack. (Fig. 1).
To secure the Starter Pack to the control panel, place (Fig. 3) on top of (Fig. 2) by setting the bracket
on top of the screws (Fig. 4), then slide the bracket down so the screws are in the narrow part of the
mounting holes (Fig. 5), then tighten the screws.

comes pre assembled with the
start capacitor (1) run capacitor
(2) and start relay (3) mounted on
a plug and play bracket.

#3. After securing the Starter Pack inside of the control panel (Fig. 6) you will connect the wires from the Starter
Pack to the top of the terminal blocks (Fig. 7). W=White, B=Black, R=Red

TestingtheThermalSensor:
#1. Put one ohm meter probe on the Blue wire and
one on the Orange wire.
#2. If the reading is 0 or near 0 the thermal sensor
is good.
If the reading is OL the pump has been or currently
is overloaded.

#1. Put one ohm meter probe on the Black
wire of the sensor.
#2. Place the other ohm meter probe on the
“Hex” Nut portion of the sensor. The ohm
meter should read “continuity” or close to
zero ohms, If it reads “open” or “High” ohms
then the sensor is defective.
#3. Put one ohm meter probe on the seal
probe.
#4. Place the other ohm meter probe on the
yellow wire. The ohm meter should read
“continuity” or close to zero ohms, If it reads
“open” or “High” ohms then the sensor is
defective.
The Seal Probe wires are connected to terminals 9 and 10 which are
labeled Pump 1 Seal Sensor. The Black wire from the Seal Probe is
connected to terminal 9 which is labeled BK for Black. The Yellow wire
from the Seal Probe is connected to terminal 10 which is labeled YW

SettingOverloadFLAtoPumpFLA:
Use a phillips head screwdriver to adjust
the yellow dial to the full load amps (FLA)
of your pump. i.e. If the FLA of your pump
is 6.0 you would set the yellow dial on the
overload relay to 6.
To reset a tripped overload, push the
blue RESET switch. Make sure the dial
is in the ”H” position.
Re-SettingOverload:
Use an ohm meter to verify if an overload has tripped. Place
one of the ohm meter probes on terminal 97 of the overload
and place the other probe of the ohm meter on 98 of the
overload. If your reading is high the overload is not tripped.
If your reading shows continuity or 0 ohms, the unit is
tripped and should be reset.

Two green power “on” indicators provide visual indication for the
control and alarm fuses. Fuses must be replaced with 1 amp fast
acting 5mm X 20mm fuses.

The Pump Run indicator light is green. If this light is illuminated the pump is running.
There is one HOA(Hand-Off-Auto) switch. This HOAswitch is also
used as the System Test switch for diagnosing the control panel.
The Stop float, Start float and Alarm float indicator lights are red.
8 position terminal block Auxiliary contact terminal block
CircuitBoardTerminalBlocks:
1 Phase Simplex Grinder & Vortex control panels use two terminal blocks for alarm mode configura-
tions. An 8 position main terminal block is for power and level switch connections. A separate 3 posi-
tion terminal block is used for dry auxiliary contacts. A 5 amp, 120 VAC max load can be applied to the
auxiliary terminals. The auxiliary contacts are Form C, Single Pole, Double Throw. (Common, Normally
Open, Normally Closed). Contacts change state when in alarm condition.

pump on manually.
#3.OperatingthepumpmanuallywiththeHOA(Hand-Off-Auto)
Place the HOA (Hand-Off-Auto) switch in the “Off” position to turn
the pump off from operation completely.
Place the HOA (Hand-Off-Auto) switch in the “Auto” position to turn the pump
with float control. When the water level raises the stop and start float the pump
turns on and stays on until the stop float drops down. If the liquid raises the high
level float a visual and audio alarm will trigger.

Place the HOA (Hand-Off-Auto) switch in the “Hand” position and you will be
automatically checking the true status of the floats.
EXAMPLE: Fig #2. The green pump run light is illuminated because the HOA
switch is in the hand mode.
Illustration (Fig#3A) shows the Stop float is activated, but
the indicator light on the command center in (Fig#2A) is
not illuminated. The Stop float is not working properly
and should be replaced.
Example (Fig#3B) shown below is demonstrating
that the same float is not working, but for a different
reason. In this example the float is hung up in the
tank.
