START button:
AUTOMATIC mode (green circle Led ON): press the button and the unit will work
automatically with the established controls and protections.
MANUAL mode (green circle Led fl ashing): holding down the button more than 4
seconds, the pump is forced to start running. The overload and underload motor
protections are on in this mode. By releasing the button, the pump stops immedia-
tely and the device goes back to the AUTOMATIC mode.
STOP (“0”) button: the unit stops the motor and blocks the re-start. If voltage failure
occurs, the established operation mode remains memorized, continuing in the same
mode (STOP-AUTO) once the voltage is restored.
Red Led: MOTOR ALARM.
Led fl ashing: re-start time after detection of motor alarm (overload: 7 seconds, •
underload: 4 seconds).
Led on: OVERLOAD ALARM.•
Led on fl ashing each 5 seconds: UNDERLOAD ALARM. •
Green Led: MOTOR RUNNING .
Orange Led: LOW LEVEL. Orange on: lack of water (2 probes mode). ORANGE
FLASHING: re-start time of 15 minutes after a lack of water (1 probe with delayed start
or without probes mode).
RESET button: Re-starts the unit after an alarm for OVERLOAD or UNDERLOAD or
stops the LACK OF WATER time delaying.
SUPPLY VOLTAGE Green Led: it lights when there is a supply voltage.

There are 4 fi xing points for
the wall mounting of the unit,
located at the corners. As an
option you can drill the en-
closure in these points and
screw it on the wall or on a
support.
If you wish you can install ex-
ternal clevis for wall fi xing.

REMOTE connection
The REMOTE terminals (“3” y “4”) can be connec-
ted to a remote device such as: radio remote control,
pressure switch, fl oat switch, irrigation controller,
time switch or a power supply ( 6 to 400 V~/V=). This
input is protected against incorrect wiring.
A jumper must be placed over Terminal blocks
“3” and “4” if not used.
Irrigation systems: we recommend to use this
unit in 1 probe mode in applications with irrigation
controller or other control devices .
3 4 5 6
Place the probe at least some centimeters higher than the pump intake.
The wires must be in-
sulated. The maximum
lenght for probes wiring is
200 mts. and the minimum
section is 0,5 mm².
A CORRECT EARTH
CONNECTION is essen-
tial for the effective opera-
tion of the level control. It is
recommended to connect
the earth wire to any point
of the pipe. A third probe
submerged at the bottom
of the recipient is requi-
red if the tank is insulated
(concrete fi ber, glass fi ber
and plastics in general).

TWO PROBES
The pump starts when
the water level exceeds the
high level probe (orange
led off), and stops when the
water level descends below
the low level probe (orange
led on).
Unit operation
ONE PROBE
When the water level des-
cends below the low level
probe, the pump stops. If
this level is recovered in
less than 10 seconds, the
unit thinks that we are wor-
king in “one probe” mode,
so it will not re-start the
pump untill the end of the
15 minutes re-start time,
during when the orange led
will fl ash.
min.

4 min.
WITHOUT PROBES
A correct minimum current ad-
justment is essential. (see section
“CURRENT ADJUSTMENTS”)
When the level approaches the
pump intake, the effort done by the
pump decreases. The unit uses the
motor as sensor: when this one de-
creases the effort, the intensity con-
sumed decreases. This detection will
stop the pump after a time delay of
4 s., during these seconds the alarm
pilot will fl ash.
The pump will automatically start
after a pre-defi ned time of 15 minu-
tes (during this period the low level
led will fl ash). If we press the RESET
button, the time delay will be cance-
lled and the pump will start.
If in less than a minute of opera-
tion, the unit stops again the pump,
the underload alarm will trip due to
motor failure (red led fl ashing). It will
be necessary to press RESET to re-
start the unit.
The REMOTE control terminal blocks, “3” y
“4, can be used to start and stop the pump from
an external device. If the level led is off (co-
rrect level), when we close a contact connec-
ted to this input (fl oat switch, pressure switch,
time switch, radio remote control, switch etc)
the pump will start and if we open it the pump
will stop. We can also apply a voltage to this
input from 6 to 400V~/V= (irrigation controller,
presscontrol, etc) to start the pump or remove
it to stop the pump.
The contact will be
closed when the pump
stops due to thermal
failure.
REMOTE (Only automatic mode) Alarm output
(terminals 5 y 6)
If the pump is in automatic mode, the unit
will activate the motor during 1 second every
23 hours of inactivity, preventing the jam-
ming and the deterioration due to long rest
periods.

N.B. 1: If you can’t close the valve to do this adjustment, turn the thumbwheel to the right until the light fl ashes
and go back a 25%.
N.B. 2: To deactivate the underload protection, turn the thumbwheel totally to the left.

Troubleshooting
Problem Cause Solution
The equipment does not work•
and the voltage light is off
even when the system is con-
nected to a power source.
Control fuse is burned out.•
Excessive power voltage.•
Wrong input connection (Vigilec•
Mini).
Phase failure (Vigilec Mini).•
Replace the corresponding fuse.•
Measure and check the power voltage.•
Connect correctly.•
Check phases.•
The system is working but the•
contactor does not activated.
Voltage selection error (Vigilec•
mini).
Verify voltage selection.•
Pump alarm trips.• Overcurrent adjustment (Amp.•
max/Amp. min) too low or critical.
Motor not connected.•
Input phase failure (Vigilec mini).•
Abnormal excessive motor con-•
sumption.
Low motor consumption <0,5A.•
Check motor consumption and adjust•
again the intensity.
Connect the motor.•
Check the three supply phases.•
Check the motor. The motor is over-•
loaded.
Check pump (there is no water in the•
pump intake, the pipe is clogged, etc.).
Level control doesn’t work•
correctly.
High and low level probes are•
reversed.
Wrong ground connection.•
Cut wires (Probes/Remote).•
Place the probes in the correct position.•
Check the ground connection.•
