A check valve must be used in the discharge line to
prevent back flow of liquid into the basin. The check valve
should be a free flow valve that will easily pass solids.
CAUTION: For best performance of check valves, when
handling solids install in a horizontal position or at an
angle or no more than 45°. Do not install check valve in a
vertical position as solids may settle in valve and prevent
opening on start-up.
When a check valve is used, drill a relief hole (1/8" or 3/16"
diameter) in the discharge pipe. This hole should be
located below the floor line between the pump discharge
and the check valve. Unless such a relief hole is provided,
the pump could "air lock" and will not pump water even
though it will run.
WIRING
Check local electrical and building codes before
installation. The installation must be in accordance with
their regulations as well as the most recent National
Electrical Code (NEC).
To conform to the National Electrical Code all pumps
must be wired with 14 AWG or larger wire. For runs to 250
feet 14 AWG wire is sufficient. For longer runs consult a
qualified electrician or the factory.
Pump should be connected or wired to its own circuit with
no other outlets or equipment in the circuit line.Fuses and
circuit breaker should be of ample capacity in the
electrical circuit. See chart below.

REMOTE FLOAT SWITCH LEVEL
CONTROL
The RFS series pumps are equipped with a remote float
switch level control. This level control is sealed in a
polypropylene float cylinder. For automatic operation, the
pump must be plugged or wired into a remote float switch.
Pump will run continuously if plugged directly into an
electrical outlet.
When the level rises in the basin, the cylinder floats up with
the level. When the cylinder position is at an angle of about
45° the switch activates and starts the pump motor.
As the level draws down, the cylinder floats down and
when it is again at an angle of about 45°, the switch
deactivates, and the pump motor stops.
NOTE: BE CERTAIN PUMP IS SECURE IN BASIN AND CYLINDER FLOATS
UNOBSTRUCTED WITHOUT TOUCHING THE BASIN WALLS OR PLUMBING.
REMOTE FLOAT SWITCH INSTALLATION
1.
The float switch consists of three parts: switch, cord clamp, clamp screw. NOTE: If
screw is lost, use a #10-16 x 1/2" long tapping screw.
2.
Attach cord clamp to pump cover as shown in Fig. 1. The clamp must be positioned
as shown to allow free operation of float. Be sure to locate pump and switch power
cords away from switch float.
3.
A 2-1/2" tether length is recommended. When a tether length of 2-1/2" is used, a
minimum basin diameter of 18" is recommended. The tether length is measured as
shown in Fig. 1.
4.
After desired tether length is established hand tighten clamp screw.
