Turn On level (more about this in Setup). The
bottom water sensor must be mounted above
all pump intakes and will be used for day-to-day
operation; the top one, will be used as a backup
for high water level sensing. Again, note that
when the water is pumped down to the middle
of the lower water sensor, any running pump will
turn off. If the water rises to the middle of the
top water sensor, the controller will cue audible,
visual, and any remote alarms indicating a high
water level.
2. Mount the controller box to the wall in a place
where its cord can reach a dedicated 120 volt
AC electrical outlet (rated for at least 15 amps),
and where the water sensors’ and pumps’ cords
can reach the controller box.
3. Connect the water sensors to the controller
box, ensuring that each sensor plugs into its
correct connector; the lower sensor in the pit
plugs into the DIGITAL LEVEL SENSOR jack
and the higher sensor plugs into the HIGH
WATER SENSOR jack.
4. Plug the rst pump into the outlet marked
“PUMP 1” on the controller box. If there is a
second pump, plug it into the outlet “PUMP 2”
on the controller box.
(If only one pump is installed, properly set
the controller’s operating mode in the Menu
section.)
5. If connecting a home alarm system to the Ion
Genesis
®
, make the connection to the 6P6C
jack labeled “REMOTE ALARM CONTACT”.
The centermost pins (# 3 and 4) are used for
this circuit, and are normally closed (N/C) under
normal conditions. These pins electrically open
in an alarm condition (see Operation section).
SetuP
Plug the Ion Genesis
®
into the electrical outlet. Using
the PUMP TURN ON LEVEL buttons, set the desired
water level (Setpoint) at which a pump should turn on.
This level is measured in inches, up from the middle
of the lower water sensor (DIGITAL LEVEL SENSOR,
see Figure 1, page 2).
WARNING: This setting must be set below
the bottom of the HIGH WATER SENSOR.
Note: This setting only pertains to the lower water
level sensor, and will be retained in memory in the
event of a complete power failure.
The water level within the pit is monitored and
displayed as “Level”. When the water level is pumped
down to the middle of the lower water sensor, the
pump is turned off.
It is recommended that the system be tested by lling
the pit with water using a hose. The rst pump should
turn on and empty the pit of water. If a second pump is
installed, lling the pit again should cause the second
pump to run.
To test the alarm functions, simply apply gentle
pressure with a nger to the underside of the top level
sensor (HIGH WATER SENSOR). The controller
should cue audible and visual alerts, and engage any
alarm dialers and/or external devices that may be
connected for remote notication.
