This control panel must be installed and serviced by a licensed
electrician in accordance with the National Electric Code NFPA-70, state
and local electrical codes.
All conduit running from the sump or tank to the control panel must be
sealedwithconduitsealanttopreventmoistureorgasesfromenteringthepanel.
NEMA 4X enclosures are for indoor or outdoor use, primarily to provide a
degreeofprotectionagainstcorrosion,windblowndustand rain, splashing water
and hose-directed water. Cable connectors must be liquid-tight in NEMA 4X
enclosures.
This Installer Friendly Series®(IFS) control panel was designed to control
pump(s). The controller records pump status, number of cycles, elapsed run
time, current float status, and float error counts.
Mounting the Control Panel
Note:Thecontrolpanelshould not be mounted in alocation that may be subject
to submersion.
1. Determine mounting location for panel. If distance exceeds the length of
either the float cables or the pump power cables, splicing will be required.
Foroutdoororwetinstallation,werecommendtheuseofanSJE-Rhombus®
liquid-tight junction box with liquid-tight connectors to make required con-
nections. You must use conduit sealant to prevent moisture or gases
from entering the panel.
2. Mount control panel with mounting devices furnished.
3. Determine conduit entrance locations on control panel. Check local codes
and schematic for the number of power circuits required. (Float cables
require separate conduit from power and pump cables.)
Note: Be sure the proper power supply voltage, amperage, and phase meet the
requirements of the pump motor(s) being installed. If in doubt, see the pump
identification plate for voltage/phase requirements.
4. Drill proper size holes for type of connectors being used.
Note: Ifusingconduit,besurethatitisofadequatesizetopullthepumpcable(s)

5. Attach cable connectors and/or conduit connectors to control panel.
FOR INSTALLATION REQUIRING
A SPLICE, FOLLOW STEPS 6-10;
FOR INSTALLATION WITHOUT A
SPLICE, GO TO STEP 11.
6. Determine location for mounting junction box according to local code
requirements. Do not mount the junction box inside the sump or basin.
7. Mount junction box to proper support.
8. Run conduit to junction box. Drill proper size holes for the type of conduit
used.

9. Identify and label each wire before pulling through conduit
into control panel and junction box. Make wire splice
connections at junction box.
10. Firmly tighten all fittings on junction box.
11. If a junction box is not required, pull cables through conduit
into control panel.
12. Connect pump wires per wiring diagram or schematic
and float wires to the proper terminals as shown on the
schematic.
13. Connect pump, control, and alarm incoming power
conductors to proper position on terminals. See schematic
for terminal connections.
VERIFY CORRECT OPERATION OF CONTROL
PANEL AFTER INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.
Installation of Floats
CAUTION: If control switch cables are not wired and mounted
in the correct order, the pump system will not function properly.
Control switches need to run in separate conduit from pump
and power lines.
WARNING: Turn off all power before installing pump wires
in pump chamber. Failure to do so could result in serious
or fatal electrical shock.
1. Determine your normal operating level and desired float
configuration, as illustrated in Figures 2-5.
2. Mountfloatswitchesat appropriate levels.Besurethatfloats
have free range of motion without touching each other or
other equipment in the basin.
3. For mounting clamp installation: place the cord into the
clampasshowninFigure 1.Locatetheclampat the desired
activation level and secure the clamp to the discharge pipe
as shown in Figure 1.
NOTE: Do not install cord under hose clamp.
4. Tighten the hose clamp using a screwdriver. Over tightening
may result in damage to the plastic clamp. Make sure the
float cable is not allowed to touch the excess hose clamp
band during operation.
NOTE: All hose clamp components are made of 18-8
stainless steel material. See your SJE-Rhombus®supplier
for replacements.
5. If using an optional redundant off float, mount slightly below
the timer enable float.
6. The alarm float can be positioned anywhere that the alarm
level is desired.

Operations
The Installer Friendly Series®(IFS) control panel uses float
switches to continuously monitor and control the liquid level in
the tank.
Hand Operation - The stop/redundant off float must be
raised to put panel in HAND operation. To override the stop/
redundant off float, press and hold the HAND button.The pump
runs until the HAND button is released. The panel then returns
to the AUTO mode. If the stop/redundant off float is raised and
the panel is placed in the HAND mode, and left in the HAND
mode, the pump continues to run until the stop/redundant off
float lowers. The panel then returns to theAUTO mode.
Off Operation - The panel is in the OFF mode.
Auto Operation - In time dose (t-dose) mode, when the
panelis intheAUTOmode,the timercontrolspump ON andOFF
time as long as the low level float is raised. In demand (d-dose)
mode, the stop and start floats control the pump.
Alarm Count - Shown on display as “AL-Ctr”, counts the
numberof times thealarmis activated. Note:Alarmcounterdoes
notinclude testingoperationsin thetotalcount. Highalarm,floats
out of sequence & auxiliary alarm add to count.
Green Control and Alarm Power Indicators -
(mounted on interior circuit board) Illuminates when control
power and alarm power is present. If the control fuse needs
replacing, the panel sounds an alarm.
Display - Will turn off after one minute of non-use.
Float Indicators - Illuminates if the float is raised. If the
float is out of sequence, the panel goes into alarm mode and
display shows “FE” float error.
Timer Override Float - Overrides the OFF time and pump
will run for full dose ON time. (timed dose only, optional)
Float Error Count - Shown on the display as “FE-Ct”.
Counts the number of times floats are out of sequence.
Timer Override Count -Shownonthedisplayas“tO-Ct”.
Counts the number of times the timer override float is activated.
(timed dose only)
Time left in “On” time cycle - Shown on the display
as “t-On”. Counts down the time left in the “On” cycle. (timed
dose only)
Time left in “Off” time cycle - Shown on the display
as “t-OFF”. Counts down the time left in the “Off” cycle. (timed
dose only)
Auxiliary alarm count-Shown on the display as “AL1Ctr”
or “AL2Ctr”.

and single phase models with overloads.

Selecting Time Dose or Demand Dose
-Panels in the field
To set the panel to either Timed Dose or Demand Dose in
the field:
1. Turn the control/alarm power off to the control panel.
2. Turn the pump power off to the control panel.
3. Place a small screwdriver or pen into the slot in the
label on the inner door marked “DEMAND DOSE
TIMED DOSE”.
 Move the dip switch (up) for demand dose
 Move the dip switch (down) for Timed dose
4. Turn the control/alarm power on to the control panel.
After the display goes blank press the “NEXT” switch.
 The display will show d-dose for demand dose.
 The display will show t-dose for timed dose.
WARNING: Changing the dip switch positions will
change the operation of the panel.
WARNING: If changing to timed dose, be sure to set
the off and on times.
5. Turn on the pump power after all the settings are
changed.
6. WARNING: Check the panel for correct operation
before leaving the site.
Operations
Float Controls
1. Check the floats during their entire range of operation.
Clean, adjust, replace and repair damaged floats.
2. Measure the float resistance to determine if the float is
operating properly.
To measure float resistance:
a. Isolate the float by disconnecting one or both of the float
leads from the float terminals.
b. Place one ohmmeter lead on one of the float wires, and the
other ohmmeter lead on the other float wire.
c. Set the ohmmeter dial to read ohms and place on the R X
1 scale. With the float in the “off” position, the scale should
read infinity (high resistance), if not replace the float.
With the float in the “on” position, the scale should read close to
zero, if not replace the float. Readings may vary depending
on the accuracy of the measuring device.
Fuse
To check the continuity of the fuse, pull the fuse out of the
fuse holder. With the ohmmeter on the R X 1 scale, measure
resistance. A reading of infinity (high resistance) indicates a
blown fuse that must be replaced with a fuse of the same type,
voltage, and amp rating.
Alarm Light
With power on, hold the test/normal/silence switch in the “test”
position. The alarm light should turn on. If not, replace the light
with that of the same type.
Alarm Horn
With power on, hold the test/normal/silence switch in the “test”
position.The alarm horn shouldturnon. If not, replace the horn
with that of the same type.
