incoming liquid.
Pipe Clamp Installation (Figure A):
1. Place the cord into the clamp as shown
in Figure A.
2. Locate clamp at desired activation level
and secure the clamp to the discharge
pipe as shown in Figure A. Note: Do not
install cord under hose clamp.
3. Tighten the hose clamp using screwdriver.
Over tightening may result in damage to
the plastic clamp. Make sure the oat
cable is not allowed to touch the excess
hose clamp band during operation.
4. Wire switch as shown in Figure C.
5. Check installation. Allow system to cycle
to insure proper operation. Be sure oat
has free range of motion and does not
touch anything.
Note:All hose clamp components are made of 18-8
stainless steel material. See your SJE-Rhombus®
supplier for replacements.
Cable Weight Installation (Figure B):

On SPDT models, insulate unused brown or black wires with wire nut. Wire can become electrically hot.
In 250 VAC installations, one side of the line going to the load is always HOT. This condition exists if the switch is on or off. Install double pole disconnect on all 230 VAC circuits.

Use values published as a guide. Pumping ranges are based on
testing in non-turbulent conditions. Range may vary due to water
temperature, cord type and cord shape. Note: As the tether length
increases, so does the variance of the pumping range.

Due to weight of cable, pumping range above horizontal is NOT
equal to pumping range below horizontal. Use values published

conditions. Range may vary due to water temperature, cord type
and cord shape. Note: As the tether length increases, so does the
