Oil Smart® Simplex Panel (Model #OSSIM-30)
Oil Smart System:
The Oil Smart® System includes the Oil Smart®
Water Pump Control and Oil Smart® High Liquid
Alarm. The Oil Smart® Pump Controller, when
combined with a manual pump, automatically pumps
water from elevators, transformer containment barriers,
underground vaults, substations, and other applications
without the risk of pumping oil. While the Oil Smart®
Alarm provides information to building management or
maintenance personnel about leak or high liquid level
conditions at any given location. The alarm will
activate with the presence of any liquid/substance and
will identify if oil or water is present. Since 1995, the
Original and Patented Oil Smart System has been the
reliable choice for safely pumping water. Installation of
the Oil Smart System allows you to comply with State
and Federal regulations while reducing the risk of
adverse publicity, fines and expensive cleanup costs.

• No Moving Parts. Patented Electronic Oil Smart®
and Liquid Smart® Controls
• Indoor/Outdoor NEMA 4X Heavy Duty

6P Listing
• Voltage: 120/240VAC Single Phase 50/60Hz, 30
Amp Motor Start Relay
• CSA International Certified No. 229594
• External Mounting Feet: Quick Installation.
• High Liquid Alarm with Test and Silence Features,
Red Beacon Alarm Light, White Light for Water
Present, Yellow Light for Oil Present, High 84
Decibel Audible Alarm. Complete Dry Contacts
for Each Alarm Condition.
• Oil Smart Pump Switch and Liquid Smart Alarm
Sensor with 20’ cord and mounting brackets.
• HOA Switch and Green Light for Pump Run
Panel Installation:
• Caution: To maintain the NEMA 4X rating, make
all wiring connections with seal tight cable grips or
conduit connections to be supplied by end user.
I. Determine hole location on panel for liquid-
tight or conduit connectors. Drill proper
sized holes for conduit connections.
II. Determine mounting location for control
panel. Mount panel using mounting feet
supplied.
III. Attach connectors and conduits.
IV. Run pump cable, Liquid Smart® cable, and
Oil Smart® cable through conduit. Make
field connections as shown on wiring
diagram (See Page 3).
V. Run two separate power line conductors
through conduit. (One 15 amp 120VAC for
alarm and one 20 Amp maximum for motor
load). Wire to terminals per enclosed
schematic. It is important that the alarm
circuit is independent of the pump to assure
that the alarm will activate if pump circuit
fails.
Components Installation:
I. The Oil Smart Pump Switch and Liquid Smart
Alarm Sensor shall be mounted in a clean
environment, clear of mud and all metallic
debris.
II. The switches shall be installed where the water
intrusion will not directly contact or splash the
white plastic case.
III. Mud or other conductive materials left on the
body of the switches will hamper its operation;
clean the switch with rubbing alcohol prior to
initital installation.
IV. Mount with enclosed mounting brackets. Note:
Keep sensors at least 2” clear of any metallic
material.
1. All installations must be in accordance with the National Electrical
Code, and any other applicable state and local electrical
requirements.

Installation and Operator's Manual

Oil Smart® Simplex Panel (Model #OSSIM-30)
Testing:
• Liquid Smart® Alarm Sensor: Fill small cup
supplied with oil. Submerge only the plastic lens
(optic sensor) into oil, the alarm will activate
showing oil present (yellow light). Now touch
finger to the exposed stainless steel sensor, the
alarm will show water present (white light) will
turn on.
• Oil Smart® Switch: Place the HOA switch on
control panel in the automatic position. Place your
thumb on the short sensor of Oil Smart® Pump
Switch and the pump will turn on. While touching
the short sensor, touch the long sensor “off” with
your fingers. Remove your thumb from on sensor
and begin to move your fingers down the off
sensor. Remove your fingers from off sensor and
the pump will turn off.
Operation:
Normal Condition (Water Only)
The short sensor probe turns the pump
"on" and the long sensor probe turns
the pump "off". When the short sensor
is in contact with water, the pump will
continue to cycle "on and off" until the
short sensor detects oil.
Oil Present Condition
The pump will not cycle if oil is in
contact with the short sensor.
High Water (Oil Present Condition)
If additional water enters the basin, it
will cause the oil layer to rise above
the short sensor, resulting in the pump
cycling.
