2.0 Installation – DRAINAGE
2.1 Electrical connection to the power supply and pump
DANGER. Electric shock risk.
Before carrying out any installation or maintenance operation, the control panel should be
disconnected from the power supply and one should wait at least 2 minutes before opening the
control panel.
Never connect AC power to output L and N terminals.
Ensure the motor, controller and power specifications match.
The electrical and hydraulic connections must be carried out by competent, skilled, qualified
personnel.

2.2 Function switch setting - DRAINAGE
Installers can set the function switch to meet different applications. Before setting the function
switch, the control panel should be disconnected from the power supply.
After completing the setting, apply power to the control panel and observe the application sign
displayed on the LCD conforming to the DRAINAGE symbol.

2.3 Connections for pump over temperature protection (where supplied with pump).
Note: to realize the pump motor winding over temperature protection, it requires that there must be over-
temperature switches embedded in the pump motor winding (microtherms as fitted to Zenit 3ph pumps 2.2
kW or greater). To utilise the pump’s over temperature protection connect the pump’s microtherm leads to
terminals 9 and 11, 10 and 12 and remove the jumper.
Note: if the pump is without over temperature switch, please use jumper to connect terminals 9 and 11, 10
and 12.
2.4 Installing float switches and probes.
Float switch installation.
Do not encase sensor leads, float switches or signal cables in metal pipes. Use PVC or PE tubing.
Liquid probe installation.

BIA-DPC1 rev 4 Page 11
In event of high risk of electrical storms (lightning) or when liquid medium in sump, well or tank is very
dirty, it is recommended to use float switches.
2.5 Electrical connections for DRAINAGE applications
2.5.1 Drainage by liquid level control through float switches or probes
Note: for 4 float switch installation connect float switch A (pump off) to terminals 1 and 3, float switch B (1st
pump on) to terminals 1 and 5, float switch C (2nd pump on) to terminals 2 and 4 and float switch D (alarm) to
terminals 2 and 6.

Stop condition
Liquid level in the sump is reaches probe 2, (float switch A down) the control panel will stop the pump.
Start condition
Liquid level in the sump reaches probe 3, (float switch A up) the control panel will run a pump. Control panel
will alternate the pumps when the liquid level varies between probe 2 and probe 3 (float switch A up and
down).
2nd pump start condition
Liquid level in the sump reaches probe 4, (float switch B up) the control panel will run the second pump.
Pumps run simultaneously until liquid level reaches probe 2, (float switches A and B down).
Alarm condition
While pumping, if the liquid level rises in the sump to probe 5, (float switch C up), the control panel will sound
the alarm to warn the user to take further action.

2.5a Electrical connections for DRAINAGE applications WITH AUTOMATIC PUMPS
2.5.1a Drainage by liquid level control.
Note: for “3 wire” floats use black and brown wires. Terminate blue wire with closed end connector.
Alarm float C connected to terminals 2 and 6.
If the system activates the high level alarm connected to the control panel the second pump will start
and the alarm will activate until the high level float deactivates.
If a pump fail situation is detected then the pump will switch to the second pump.
Warning – DRY RUN Protection not active in Drainage with Automatic Pump Mode.
High Level Alarm Delay
High Level Alarm delayed by 15 minutes after activation of High Level Float to allow 2nd Pump to turn on
and assist with pump out.
Note, For 30 minutes after High level Alarm activated, both pumps work concurrently.
Note: for drainage
with automatic
pumps, floats A & B
are not used and
terminals 1, 3, 5 and
2,4 are bridged.
BIA-DPC1 rev 4 Page 19
2.5.1a Drainage by liquid level control WITH AUTOMATIC PUMPS
Stop condition
Liquid level in the sump is below automatic pump float switch off position which will stop both pumps.
Start condition
The control panel alternates power supply between pumps every 240 hours. When liquid level in the sump is
above the automatic pump float switch on position, the pump that is being supplied power will run.
Alarm condition
While pumping, if the liquid level rises in the sump to float switch C up, the control panel will sound the alarm
to warn the user to take further action.
