OPERATION

PAGE C − 2

D The liquid level devices (optional equip-

ment) operate in conjunction with the 3-po-

sition switch (HAND-OFF-AUTO) supplied
as part of that option. After the level sensors

and circuitry have been installed, pump op-

eration may be automatically controlled for
filling or dewatering functions. In the HAND

position, the switch closes the circuit to per-
mit pump operation until the switch is

moved to the OFF position. In the OFF posi-

tion, the switch interrupts incoming power
through the control box and prevents pump

operation. In the AUTO position, sensors will

automatically turn the pump on or off de-
pending on the level of the liquid being

pumped.

Always terminate incoming power to the control
box before investigating control box circuitry prob-
lems.

Always terminate power to the control
box before performing service func-
tions.

Power through the control box may be terminated
by moving the tie handle to the OFF position, there-
by opening the circuit breakers. This stops the
pump, but does not terminate incoming power
through the field wiring connected to the control
box.
