Turbo Grit Pump. Does the dome have one
or two holes in the top of the plastic dome?
If it has one hole, you have everything you
need. If the dome has two holes, then you will
also need to order one (1) PN: 11L47D Quad
Ring and one (1) PN: 87A225 Retrot Adapter
Ring before installing this kit. Parts can be
ordered from the Smith & Loveless, Inc. Parts
Department at [phone].
INSTALLATION NOTE: Additional ttings
and exible or rigid conduit are required
to complete the installation of this kit. The
EXPLOSION-PROOF SONIC START® Probe
and Explosion-Proof Solenoid Valve come with
½” conduit threaded ttings. Enough conduit
of the desired type (rigid or exible) will be
required to run from the EXPLOSION-PROOF
SONIC START® Probe to the panel with the
electrode relay and from the Explosion-Proof
Solenoid Valve that will be mounted on top
of the vacuum dome to the vacuum priming
panel where the vacuum pumps are located.
All wiring and conduit must meet the National
Electric Code requirements for classication,
division, and/or zone where applicable.
BEFORE YOU START

Step 3.
Look at your PISTA® Turbo Grit Pump. The
EXPLOSION-PROOF SONIC START®Probe
(Item 1) must be installed in the end of the
motor adapter. See Diagram 1 for orientation
of the hole to be tapped for the EXPLOSION-
PROOF SONIC START®Probe (Item 1). The
EXPLOSION-PROOF SONIC START®Probe
(Item 1) will stick approximately 5-½” out from
the end of the motor adapter.
TECH TIP: Check all equipment
for the 5-½” clearance. It may
be necessary to rotate the
motor adapter to create enough
clearance for the EXPLOSION-
PROOF SONIC START®Probe (Item 1) to be
located between the motor adapter and other
piece of equipment.
INSTALLATION STEPS

Smith & Loveless, Inc. has a patent-pending on the
SONIC START® Prime Sensing System.
DANGER: Disconnect and lock out power before servicing the equipment. Failure to
do so could result in electrical shock, serious bodily injury or death.
Step 2.
Disconnect the electrode grounding wire from
the existing electrode dome assembly. The
grounding wire is no longer used and can be
removed. Remove the dome assembly from
the motor adapter, Photo 1. Now continue to
Step 3 for Drilling & Tapping the motor adapter.
OR
If you already have the EXPLOSION-PROOF
SONIC START® Probe installed you need to
make sure you have the current version of the
EXPLOSION-PROOF SONIC START®Probe.
Remove the existing EXPLOSION-PROOF
SONIC START® Probe and skip to Step 9.
Step 1.
Turn off and lockout power to the unit.

Step 6.
Thread the hole with a 3/4” NPT tap as in
Photo 3.
NOTE: Do not tap the threads too deep,
otherwise it will not seal and will create
a vacuum leak.
Step 4.
Mark the location for the EXPLOSION-
PROOF SONIC START®Probe (Item 1) on
the motor adapter. See Diagram 2 for the
correct location the EXPLOSION-PROOF
SONIC START®Probe (Item 1) . Use a
hammer and punch to make a mark at the
proper location.
Step 5.
Drill a pilot hole at the punch mark with a
3/16” or similar size drill bit (See Photo 2).
Make sure the hole is as straight as possible
to make it easier when tapping. Then drill
the hole out with a ½” or similar size drill
bit, and then nish drilling the hole with a
29/32” drill bit.

Step 8.
If the shoulder of the EXPLOSION-PROOF
SONIC START®Probe (Item 1) is more than
3/8” from the motor adapter, then the threads
need to be tapped deeper.
Remove the EXPLOSION-
PROOF SONIC START®Probe
(Item 1) and insert the tap back in the hole
(Photo 6). One revolution of the tap should
make the tapped hole approximately 1/16”
deeper.
EXAMPLE: If the EXPLOSION-PROOF
SONIC START®Probe (Item 1) was ½” from
the motor adapter, you would want to make
(2) two additional rotations with the tap so
that it will end up ¼” or less from the motor
adapter. Photo 6
Step 7.
Thread the EXPLOSION-PROOF SONIC
START®Probe (Item 1) into the tapped hole
to test the depth of the tapped hole. The
shoulder of the EXPLOSION-PROOF SONIC
START®Probe (Item 1) must be 3/8” or less
from the motor adapter to have proper thread
engagement, see Photo 5.
Space between lines (shoulder of EXLOSION-PROOF
SONIC START®Probe (Item 1) & motor adapter must be
3/8” or less.

Step 6 (Continued).
Turn the tap with an adjustable wrench or
tap wrench and keep track of how many
revolutions you make with the tap. Keep
the tap straight as you are turning it. Once
the end of the tap is through the wall of the
motor adapter and you have made at least 5
revolutions, remove the tap from the motor
adapter. Your tapped hole will look like Photo
4.

If additional tapping is required, retap the hole
and reinsert the EXPLOSION-PROOF SONIC
START®Probe (Item 1). Check the depth and
tap the hole deeper, if necessary, to get the
shoulder of the EXPLOSION-PROOF SONIC
START®Probe (Item 1) to be 3/8” or less from
the motor adapter (Photo 7).
Remove the EXPLOSION-
PROOF SONIC START®Probe
(Item 1). See Photo 8.

Step 9.
Put Teon®tape on the EXPLOSION-PROOF
SONIC START®Probe (Item 1) threads. Make
sure the Teon®tape covers the threads as
shown in Photo 9. Thread the EXPLOSION-
PROOF SONIC START®Probe (Item 1) into
the tapped hole.
TECH TIP: Thread the Teon®
tape CCW (counterclockwise)
to the top of the thread. Do not
wrap more than two layers of
Teon®tape on the threads.

Step 10.
Tighten the EXPLOSION-
PROOF SONIC START®Probe
(Item 1) (Photo 10) so that the two sensing
probes run vertically inside the dome port
of the motor adapter. See Photo 11.
Step 11.
Remove the cap from the EXPLOSION-
PROOF SONIC START®. See Photo 12.
Step 12.
Set the dip switches to min and >0.7. See

Step 13.
Determine the location of the existing electrode
relay or SONIC START® operating module.
This is typically in the main control panel, but
every installation is different.
Step 14.
Run conduit (not included in this kit) from the
EXPLOSION-PROOF SONIC START® to the
panel that contains the existing electrode relay
or SONIC START®operating module. Install
sealing ttings and other items as required
so that the wiring will meet all applicable
requirements for classication, division,
and/or zone. Wiring and conduit must meet
all applicable local and/or national codes.
Diagram 3 is for reference only.
Step 15.
In the panel with the existing electrode relay
or SONIC START® operating module, run new
wires for the EXPLOSION-PROOF SONIC
START®. Five wires will be required. Connect
two wires to a terminal that is powered directly
from one of the single phase breakers. Connect
one wire to Ground and one to Neutral. The
fth wire will be connected to the socket for
the existing electrode relay or SONIC START®
operating module in a later step. Allow enough
extra wire to run through the conduit and
connect the EXPLOSION-PROOF SONIC
START®(Item 1).
1/2” Conduit (Not
supplied by S&L) Run to
Main Control Panel
or location where the
existing Electrode
Relay or Sonic Start®
Operating Module
is currently located.

Step 16.
Label the loose ends of the wires. Label
the wire to be connected to the existing
electrode relay or SONIC START® operating
module as Pin 3 on both ends. Label the
Neutral wire as Pin 2 and the Ground wire
as Ground. Label one of the remaining
power wires Pin 1 and the other Pin 4.
Step 17.
Run the ve wires through the conduit.
Make sure there is enough wire to run to
the EXPLOSION-PROOF SONIC START®
(Item 1).
Step 18.
Connect the Ground wire to the Ground
lug in the EXPLOSION-PROOF SONIC
START® (Item 1). Connect the wires labeled
Pin 1, Pin 2, Pin 3, and Pin 4 to the same
numbered pin on the terminal strip inside
the EXPLOSION-PROOF SONIC START®
(Item 1). See Photo 14.
Step 19.
Install the cap back onto the EXPLOSION-
PROOF SONIC START®(Item 1). See

DANGER: Disconnect and lock out power before performing any electrical work.
Failure to do so could result in electrical shock, serious bodily injury or death.
WARNING: All electrical work should be performed by a qualied electrician and per
all applicable codes. Failure to do so may result in severe bodily injury or death.
Step 20.
Now the wiring for the electrode relay must be
modied in order to use the new SONIC START®
Operating Module (Item 2). There are four
different types of electrode relays that have
been used on Smith & Loveless Top Mounted
PISTA® Turbo Grit Pumps, see Photo 16 . The
three electrode relays from oldest to most recent
are relay 1 to 3. Relay 4 is an instrinsically safe
electrode relay.
RELAY 1. (S&L P/N: 4L264)
A small, clear relay with a resistor, diode,
and capacitor in the socket wiring (see
Relay 1 in Photo 17. If you are replacing
this type of electrode relay, go to step 21.
