PHCC Pro Series S5 - S5 Series Sump Pump - Manual (Page 2)

• The control unit must receive 115V AC +/- 5% and 60 Hz from the AC outlet. Lower
voltage may cause the power failure alarm to activate.
• These primary pumps will not provide protection during a power outage. With the risk of
property damage from high water levels, the addition of a PHCC Pro Series battery back-up
sump pump system is highly recommended.
• After the initial installation, be sure to check the operation by filling the sump with water
and observing the pump operation through one full cycle.
• For continuous duty operation, the pump must be submerged at least 3/4 of the depth of
the pump at all times.
• In instances where the discharge line is exposed to freezing temperatures, the pipe must
be sloped downward so any remaining water will drain out. Failure to do so will prevent
water from exiting the sump and damage the pump if the line freezes.
Installation Instructions
Prior to Installation
1. Visually inspect your pump. Products may be damaged during shipping. If the product
has been damaged, contact your place of purchase or Glentronics, Inc. before installation.
2. Thoroughly read the instructions provided to learn specific details regarding installation
and use. This manual should be retained for future reference.
Installing the Pump
1. Use a pit that conforms to all local codes and is large enough to accommodate the pump
and float switch. The minimum requirements for pumps with the double float assembly are
10
Љ in diameter and 14Љ deep. However, larger sump pits are preferred, since they will
extend the discharge cycle and reduce the number of times the pump turns on.
2. Clean the pit of all debris. The pump’s intake screen must be kept clear.
3. The pump should not be set directly onto a clay, earthen, or sand base. You may install
bricks or blocks under the pump to
provide a solid base.
4. The pump should be level.
5. Install discharge plumbing according to
local, regional and state codes. Rigid
PVC pipe is recommended.
6. The sizes of the discharge outlets on the
pumps vary from 1 1 ⁄ 2
Љ to 2Љ. Try to
match the size of the discharge pipe to
the size of the outlet on the pump to
maintain the optimum pumping capacity.
If you are using a PHCC Pro Series pump
with a 20 discharge outlet to replace a
pump in a system that has been plumbed
with 1
1 ⁄ 2
Љ pipe, you may use the adapter
included with the system to reduce the
size of the discharge outlet to 1
1 ⁄ 2
Љ.
However, this will reduce the capacity of
the pump.
7. An in-line check valve is recommended
to prevent back-flow. This check valve is
mandatory when sharing a discharge line
with another pump (i.e. a back-up pump
or a second primary pump). Note: When
using a check valve, an air bleed hole of
1 ⁄ 8
Љ (3.2mm) for the S3 & S5 Series and
3 ⁄ 16
Љ (4.76mm) for the E7 Series needs to be drilled in the discharge pipe. The hole must be
drilled above the water line but below the check valve. A small stream of water will escape
through this air bleed hole when the pump is running, so the hole should be drilled on an
angle toward the bottom of the sump pit.
8. Install a gate valve or ball valve as required by any codes.
9. Secure the power cord to the discharge pipe with wire ties or clamps to prevent
interference with the float assembly.
10. A pit cover is recommended for all installations as a safety measure, and to prevent
debris from falling into the pit.
11. A cover is required in all sewage pump installations with gas-tight seals to contain gases
and odors. A vent pipe should be added in any sewage installation.
12. In instances where the discharge line is exposed to freezing temperatures, the pipe must
be positioned in a downward slope so any remaining water will drain away. Failure to do
this will prevent water from exiting the pit and damage the pump if the line freezes.
Installing the Double Float
The PHCC Pro Series double float switch is easy to
install by using the enclosed metal hose clamp.
1. Hold the float switch to the discharge pipe so the
cage is below the bracket.
2. Secure the float to the pipe with the enclosed
hose clamp, but do not completely tighten the
clamp at this time.
3. Position the float switch to a level where the
bottom of the float cage is no lower than 3 Љ above
the bottom of the pump and no higher than 1 Љ
below the top of the pit. To avoid debris pouring
into the float, it should be positioned on the side
of the discharge pipe opposite the drain tile. Note: It is important to mount the float
below the drain tile that empties into the pit. Mounting it above the drain tile would allow
water to fill the drain tile before the pump is activated to pump out the water.
4. Once the float switch is in the desired position, tighten the clamp.
Installing the Vertical Float
The vertical float switch contains a single large float.
Sewage will lift the float to the top of the lift rod
which will raise the lift rod and activate the pump.
As the pump evacuates the sewage from the pit the
float will drop, lowering the lift rod and turning off
the pump.
1. Fully open the metal hose clamp and insert it
through the slots in the mounting bracket of the
float switch.
2. Place the hose clamp over the discharge pipe so
that the gripping tabs are against the pipe and
select the desired activation level of the pump.
3. The pumping range can be adjusted by moving the float stop up or down the lift rod.
4. To avoid debris from pouring onto the float, it should be positioned on the side of the
discharge pipe opposite the drain tile.
5. Once the float switch is in the desired position, securely tighten the hose clamp. Note:
The cable from the switch must remain outside the hose clamp.
Connecting the Pump and Controller
Deluxe Dual Float Controller Model # DFC2
1. Mount the controller to the foundation, drywall
or a stud through the 2 holes on the cabinet
using the proper mounting hardware for the
application. The controller should be mounted
at least 4
Ј from the floor and within 4’ of the
outlet.
2. Open the plastic door on the top of the unit and
using a small flat head screwdriver adjust the
dial to select the number of seconds that the
pump will run after the bottom float drops. The
timer can be adjusted from 5-45 seconds. The
manufacturer default is about 10 seconds.
Install a 9V battery and replace the door.
3. Plug the control box into a properly grounded,
3-prong receptacle (preferably with ground fault
circuit interrupt). Then, plug the pump into the
receptacle on the control box. Do not use an extension cord.
4. Make sure the Power Failure Alarm slide switch is in the ON position.
Vertical Float Switch Model # 1020012
The E7 Series pumps do not come with a controller.
1. Plug the vertical float switch cord into a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle (preferably
with a ground fault circuit intercept). Then, plug the pump into the receptacle on the
float switch cord. Do not use an extension cord.
Connecting to a Security System
The Deluxe Controller (Model DFC2) includes a terminal on
the right side of the control box to connect to a security
system or other alarm devices. There are (3) three positions
for wire connections on this terminal: N.O. – normally open,
N.C. – normally closed, and Common.
