General overview
Thank you for purchasing an Ion Genesis
®
controller.
Take the time to read the instructions carefully before
using this appliance. We strongly recommend that
you keep this instruction manual in a safe place for
future reference.
The Ion Genesis
®
is a residential sump pump controller
for 1 or 2 pumps that includes redundant 72” water
level sensors, a congurable water level/pump turn-
on setting, 2-pump alternation, pump failure sensing,
local audible/visual alarm notication, and optional
remote alarm notication.
Indicators
The front panel has LEDs, a display, and an audible
alarm to offer direct feedback to the user.
Buttons
The front of the controller has buttons labeled
“SILENCE/RESET” and “PUMP TURN ON LEVEL”.
Pressing the SILENCE/RESET button mutes the
audible alarm when an alarm is active. Any future
alarms will activate the audible alarm again.
When held, the SILENCE/RESET button restarts the
controller as if it were unplugged. At start up, the
controller runs pump #1 temporarily, followed by the
second pump, if it exists (as congured in the menu
section).
The PUMP TURN ON LEVEL buttons set the water
level at which the rst pump turns on. It is measured
in inches, up from the middle of the lower water
sensor (see the Installation section). When the water
level is pumped down to the middle of the lower water
sensor, the pump is turned off. This setting only
pertains to the lower water sensor.
