INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONSIMPORTANT: Completely read and thoroughly understand these instructions before proceeding toinstall and wire the control. This manual is a generic guide and may not be specific to the panel
provided. Refer to the part number for specific options chosen.
Mount control box vertically on wall or other solid structure. The maximum distance between thecontrol box and the location of the electrodes is determined by the sensitivity of the 16M control(s).
This information is supplied on Form 167 P/N 100212-1.
WIRING INSTRUCTIONSConnect ground terminal provided on the back panel of the enclosure to electrical ground.
Caution: Bonding between conduits must be made.
All conduit entrances must be grounded via the ground terminal provided on the back pane and to any
external metal parts that may become energized.
Circles with diagonals
on wiring diagram represent terminals provided for external connections.
Connections to these terminals should be made using UL approved crimp type spade lugs. Maximum
allowable connections per terminal is 2.
Recommended wire type is 14 or 16 AWG THHN or MTW.
NOTE: All wiring shall be in accordance with the National Electrical Code.
Connect terminal pair 1 – 2 to AC supply line of electrical characteristics indicated on data label anddrawing. Fuse protection has not been provided. Do not exceed electrical characteristics indicated ondata label and drawing.
Connect terminals pair 3 – 4 into the motor starter circuit of the pump. This circuit not to exceed 3AMP
@ 120 VAC.
Connect terminals pair 5 – 6 into the circuit of the remote HIGH level alarm device. This circuit not toexceed 3AMP @ 120 VAC.
Connect terminals pair 7 – 8 into the circuit of the remote LOW level alarm device. This circuit not toexceed 3AMP @ 120 VAC.
Terminal pairs 3 – 8 are isolated load contacts and must be wired in series with its load and that series
branch circuit connected across a power source compatible with the load.
Electrode Wiring
Wiring must be provided to the electrodes as shown on the drawing provided. The electrode wiring
should be thermoplastic insulated and be installed in a separate dry metallic conduit. Terminal 16 must
be grounded to the vessel if metallic. If the electrode fitting used has a metallic body and is supported
directly upon a metallic vessel, the ground connection is facilitated by securing that end of the ground
conductor beneath the head of one of the screws which fasten the terminal housing to the body of thefitting. When the vessel is non-metallic, terminal 16 must be connected to an additional electrode oflength equal to or longer than, the longest electrode.

Float Switch Wiring
Wiring must be provided to the float switches as shown on the drawing provided. The float switches
wiring should be thermoplastic insulated and be installed in a separate dry metallic conduit.
Connect terminals 9 and 10 to the normally open HIGH level float switch.
Connect terminals 11 – 14 to the normally open pump start and stop float switches based on thepumping operation (i.e. pump down).
Connect terminals 15 and 16 to the normally open LOW level float switch.
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONSA Hand-Off-Automatic selector switch is provided for the pump so that it can be operated automaticallyor manually. To energize the pump, turn the switch to the “Hand” position. To de-energize the pump,turn the switch to the “Off” position. This switch will normally be in the “AUTO” position and operation
will then be as follows.
If the tank level rises to the HIGH LEVEL electrode or float, the High level alarm light will illuminate.
If the audible alarm option was chosen the following will also occur. The audible alarm horn will soundand the contacts connected to terminal pair 5 – 6 will close. The contact will remain closed until thehigh level condition is corrected.
The audible alarm can be silenced by momentarily depressing the SILENCE pushbutton, however, thelight will remain on until the abnormal condition is corrected.
A green PUMP RUNNING light is provided on the door of the control panel and will energize when thepump is called for.
Pump Down
The pump will be started when the tank level rises to the pump START electrode or float and willcontinue in operation until the level is reduced below pump STOP electrode or float.
Pump Up
The pump will be started when the tank level recedes below the pump START electrode or float and willcontinue in operation until the level is rises to the pump STOP electrode or float.
If the tank level rises to the LOW LEVEL electrode or float, the Low level alarm light will illuminate.
If the audible alarm option was chosen the following will also occur. The audible alarm horn will soundand the contacts connected to terminal pair 7 – 8 will close. The contact will remain closed until thehigh level condition is corrected.
The audible alarm can be silenced by momentarily depressing the SILENCE pushbutton, however, thelight will remain on until the abnormal condition is corrected.
