Service & Operating Manual
Features & Benefits:
• Completely automatic operation.
• Easy, low-cost installation. The control is plumbed as
part of the piping system.
• All pneumatic operation - no electrical connections.
• Versatility. One control can be installed to handle
sumping and tank filling/transfer.
• For sumping operations, the pump is started at a high
liquid level, and stopped at a low liquid level. For tank
filling and transfer, the pump is started at a low liquid
level and stopped at a high liquid level. It’s completely
adjustable to any liquid level operating range. It will
adjust from a few inches to approximately nine feet.
• Long life operation. Corrosion-resistant wetted parts.
• High capacity air valve. Accomodates air flow
requirements up to 125 cfm, with a pressure drop less
than 10 psi.
How It Works:
This liquid level control operates entirely by mechanical
and pneumatic means. A float-operated air pilot valve
controls the opening and closing of an air valve. It admits
or exhausts air through a special regulator to turn an air-
operated pump on or off.
Installation:
The line air valve and air pilot valve are
preassembled on bracket and ready for mounting to
1½1/2” (3.81cm) standard on pipe.
Unit is ready as recieved for standard (high level on
- low level off) operation. For reverse operation (low level
on - high level off), remove bracket (item 1) from pilot valve
by removing hex nut (item 12). Install bracket opposite
direction from position shown and action is reversed.
Install float and rod as shown and mount rod guide
bracket below control as required. A minimum of 10 PSI
(.6895 BAR) air pressure is recommended for operation
of liquid level control.
Air In and Air Out are noted on the regulator.
Note:
Important - a minimum of 8 PSI, created through pump
application, must exist for the float valve to work.
a c c e s s o r i e s
Versa-Matic’s float actuated air valve and liquid level control provides all pneumatic operation.
Especially useful in sumping and liquid transfer situations, the float actuated switch opens and closes air
supply to the pump for positive ON-OFF response.
