Installation:
Do not work on pump until power is unplugged.
Do not cut o ground pin or use an adapter fitting.
Do not use an extension cord.
Before you connect the wire, be sure you have purchased correct Battery in correct charge AH type. Ensure the DC power is switched to OFF position
prior to connect the two input wire Black and White color. Never touch the pump when it is connected to electrical power.
1. Before installing or servicing this pump, be certain pump power source is disconnected.(by switch or manual switch outside.)
2. Installation and electrical wiring must adhere to state and local codes and must be completed before running pump.
Check appropriate community agencies, or contact local electrical and pump professionals.
3. Voltage of power supply must match the voltage of the pump, if you use polar cell you must double check the DC power is enough..
4. Before installing pump, clear sump basin of any water,debris,or sediment.
Warning: Sump basin must be vented in accordance with local plumbing codes. REEFE Sump pumps are not designed for and CANNOT be installed in
locations classified as hazardous.
5. The following may cause severe damage to pump and will void warranty:
(a) Using an extension cord too long.
(b) Cutting o the ground pin or using an adapter fitting.
(c) Working on pump or switch while plugged in.
(d) Removing motor housing, unscrewing impeller, or otherwise removing impeller seal
(e) Running the pump continuously.
(f) Pumping chemicals or corrosive liquids.
(g) Pumping gasoline or other flammable liquids.
(h) Piping, plastic PVC pipe could install in the outlet piping line, but drain hose, galvanized steel or copper pipe may be used if desired. All piping must
be clean and free of all foreign matter to prevent clogging.
Use thread compound on all threaded joints unless specified otherwise. Be sure to seal the thread connection with tape seal when you using the
pipe fitting to connect the flange.
(i) Pump inadequate suspension liquids in which the solid partical is larger than the strainer’s holes.
Electrical Wire Connection:
Be sure the power of the pump is same as the shown on the nameplate.
Connect the correct two wires, black color wire connects to positive [+], white color wire connects to negative [-}
to the 24 voltage battery. It is not necessary to a use longer cable to connect the battery, the longer wire you use, the less DC power in.
Before using the pump, always inspect it visually (especially power cable and plug).
Do not use the pump if the power line is damaged.
Power of pump (watts) x 1.3 ~ 1.6 = power rating of solar PV panel(s) in watts, For example: A 300 watt pump needs a minimum of 390 watts of PV
panels to drive it:
300 watt pump x 1.3 = 390 watt PV panel
•You may need combinations of panels, to suit the RSE12V/RSE24V, 180/220 Watt pump
•When you have panels in parallel, add the current of the panels and the wattage.
Note: If connecting in parallel you will need Schottky Diodes in series with each panel.
•When using panels in series add the voltage and the wattage.
For example: 1) 3 x 12 volt 100 watt panels in parallel become a 12 volt 300 watt system
2) 2 x 12 volt 100 watt panels in series become a 24 volt 200 watt system
So, we recommend you install 4 x 12 volt 100watt panels , 2 panels in series then, add another 2 panels set in paralle, and it will become 400 watt.
[Note: Your cell panel supplier will be able to help you with panel selection]
The controller will already be matched to the pump by your supplier if end user wants to add solar system for the power input. Battery selection, if you
want to pump when there is not enough sun.
If you want to add batteries please note that you will need an additional solar charge controller (not supplied in the kit) and you will need to double the
number of PV panels. The extra PV panels are required to charge the batteries while the pump is pumping.
The cheapest option is to:
a) try to fill an elevated header tank or
b) if you have no elevation locate the tank near a utility power supply so you can pump water from the tank using a mains powered pump
If the pump is damaged, have it inspected by the specialized assistance service only. Make sure that electric connections are protected from inundation.
Protect the plug and the power cable from heat, oil or sharp edges.
The power cable must be replaced by qualified personnel only.
Overload protection:
This pump series have a built in thermal protection switch. The pump stops if an overload condition occurs. The motor restarts automatically after it has
cooled down.
