![]() (This Youtube video explains in more detail.) If it’s placed in the wrong cell, this would trip the alarm even if the fluid levels are correct. For Basement Watchdog systems, this would be the second cell over from the positive terminal. If you don’t, the alarm will sound once too much water has evaporated.Īlso, make sure the sensor is inserted into the proper cell. If you have a wet-cell battery, the most common type of battery for backup sump pumps, you need to regularly maintain the levels of distilled water in the individual battery cells. It sounds like I need this mode activated for it to not default to the timer mode.Filling battery cells with distilled water If the pump is stopped a user can still program the speeds for all four Speed buttons." When this mode isĪctive the programmed pump schedule is deactivated, and user speed requests from the keypad will not beĪccepted. Input trigger is removed from all of the Speed Digital Input wires, the pump will resume the programmed schedule."Įxternal Control Only mode will only allow the pump to run from external controls/inputs. The Display button is still functional along with the Start/Stop button. This will override the schedule or any user inputs for Speed Speed as long as the Digital Input trigger is present. Toggle between the display parameter and “EC” indicating an External Control is running. "When a Speed Digital Input is triggered, the LED above the Speed button will begin to blink and the display will ![]() I was just browsing the pump manual and noticed this: I think I may have found an important piece of the puzzle. I called the builder today for help and didn't get much more than a lecture on the need to run the pump for 24 hrs. I suspect that I will need to make a phone call to Pentair for some insight on the control strategy. At this point I am able to adjust the RPM. When the panel completes the schedule and turns off, local control is given to the pump. 2) Pressing the 'Pump Low' causes the pump to ramp up. 1) Pressing the 'Filter Pump', what I would perceive as a command to turn the pump off, button with the panel on causes the pump to ramp up to a high speed. I'm not sure how helpful they are because they are confusing the heck out of me. The pump continuing to run was unexpected. Like you said, some of the behavior was expected, i.e. My memory was correct and the pump does have the optional control wiring allowing the, just as you described, 5v control signals to set the pump speeds.ġ) I'm guessing I have the EasyTouch 4, as I have 4 circuits (Filter Speed, Slow Speed, Low Speed, and Pool Light).Ģ) You are correct, I changed the pump run time schedule for 12 hours of run time. When I got home today from work I snapped a few pictures of the panel with cover off. I appreciate the help Jim and I think you've read my mind. Any hope of getting a picture of your panel with the CB cover off showing all of the relay wiring? Of course, I am fumbling in the dark and I've been wrong many times before (just today), so your mileage may vary. So I suspect there is a corresponding AUX relay that is still on telling the pump to run at whatever speed you had previously selected. But I can't see how any of that controls your pump speed. When you say you changed your schedule, what did you change? Sounds like you changed the pump run time from 24 hours to 12 hours which, if wired correctly, would account for the pump/filter relay turning off, which would also shut off the SWG. Do you have an EasyTouch 4 or 8? My guess is an 8 as I can't see how this could work on a 4 with a SWGĢ. The downside is that the Superflo can only use one input at a time and if more than one input is applied it will select which input to use based on an internal priority system.ġ. Energizing the relay will apply the 5 volts back to the Superflo selecting that speed. ![]() This five volts gets applied to the input side of 4 (yes four) AUX relays. ![]() To do this, the Superflo outputs 5 volts which goes to your control system (in your case the Easytouch). This lets you select one of four possible pre-set speeds. OK, did a little more research and it appears that the Superflo can be controlled by Applying 5 volts to one of four input wires.
