SJE Rhombus Ultra Nator User guide

This Ultra Nator™control and alarm system provides a pre-wired contol panel for an indoor duplex pump application. The Ultra Nator™
employs two receptacles to accept two 120 VAC pump plugs.
In normal operation pumps will alternate based on the pump switch level. If an alarm condition occurs (top float activates), the alarm
light and horn turn on. The pump in use will turn off and the other pump will turn on. Pumping will continue until the pump switch
deactivates (bottom float).

1. Determine the required cord tether length according to
chart below and as shown in Figure B.
2. Place the cord into the clamp as shown as shown in
Figure C.
3. Locate clamp at desired activation level and secure the
clamp to the discharge pipe as shown in Figure C.

INSTALLING THE VERTICALMASTER®II
Warning: Do not install switch in direct flow of incoming
liquid.
1. Determine desired activation level and pumping range
as shown in Figure D. Pumping range can be adjusted
by moving the float stop up or down the rod.
2. Insert hose clamp through slots in mounting bracket as
shown in Figure E.
3. Position hose clamp around discharge pipe with bracket
gripping tabs against pipe as shown in Figure E and F.
Cable should remain outside of hose clamp.
4. Tighten the hose clamp securely.
5. Secure pump cable and switch cable to discharge pipe
as shown in Figure D with wire ties (not supplied).
6. Check the installation. Verify that the float is free to
move and activate the switch. Allow system to cycle to
ensure proper operation.
Note: All hose clamp components are made of 18-8
stainless steel material. See your SJE-Rhombus®
supplier for replacements.
