Electronic Sump Pump Controller ESPC3 (patent pending) is a universal replacement for most sump pump switches. To replace an existing sump pump switch, the float must be tied up in the ON position and the AC cord from the sump pump must be plugged into the Sump Pump Controller.

Specification:
-120 VAC 63Hz
-Maximum sump pump load 25A on start ups and up to 15A continuous run
-Power consumption 0.6W at standby, and 2W when pump is on (cost of running, up to 10 cents per month)
-Loud 105 dB sound alarm (105 dB sound is 100 times more intense than 85 dB)
-Three Super Bright LED indicators
-one standard 120 VAC socket
-100.000 on/off cycles
-25 Amp contact rating
-Three-year warranty
-2.8 feet AC cord
-Tie - ups for securing sump pump and control cables
-10 foot long sensor wires (length can be easy extended)
-Special design making the controller not influenced to effects of a long sensor exposure to elements found in sump pits.

Sump Pump Controller has three sensors:
-Green Low Water sensor -> stops the pump
-White High Water sensor -> starts the pump
-Red Overflow sensor -> activates loud 105 dB sound alarm and LED indicator
After a few seconds, when the water level reaches the white sensor, the sump pump will be activated until the water level reaches the green, low-level sensor wire.
The pump will be activated for at least 12 seconds.
The low water sensor enables the pump to drain the sump water to the lowest possible level.
The life of the sump pump can be extended by reducing the number of start-ups.
Often, during heavy rain, a pump will work continuously. By running the sump pump using a preset time, like 30 seconds, the pump may start an extra 120 times in one hour causing the efficiency and the life of the pump to be greatly reduced. Conventional control systems, operating pumps with fixed cycles, may lead to not fully emptying water from the sump pit. This leads to the possibility of dirt build-up at the base of the sump, which necessitates the manual removal of the accumulation.
Our Sump Pump Controller will empty the sump water to the lowest possible level.
Included: 10 foot long sensor wires, control box with mounting bracket, mounting screws, tie - ups for securing sump pump and control cables. Priced at $72.

This product is designed for indoor use only. Use this product only with 125 Volts AC power source. Do not exceed 1850 watts. Use only with three-prong AC outlet with properly install AC ground. AC outlet must have ground for a proper operation. Never open the case or housing. There are no user serviceable parts inside and opening the case renders any warranty null and void. |
Installation:
Plug the Sump Pump Controller into an AC outlet and mount the controller to a beam or a wall with the provided screws.
Plug in the red, white, and green sensors.
Testing:
Touch the end of the red sensor to the screw located in the lower right corner of the Sump Pump Controller -> the alarm should sound and the red LED "High Water Alarm" light should light up.
Touch the end of the white sensor to the screw for about 5 seconds -> the yellow LED "Pump On" light should light up for approximately 12 seconds.
Touch the end of the green sensor, then the end of the white sensor to the screw. Release the white sensor. The orange LED "Pump On" should be lighted as long as the green sensor remains grounded.
Unplug the Sump Pump Controller from the AC outlet.
 |
Secure the ends of the green, white, and red sensors to the sump pump. |
Plug in the sump pump to the controller and secure the sump pump's AC cord to the controller with the provided plastic ties. The sump pump AC cord may become unplugged from the controller if it is not secured with the ties.
Fill up the sump pit with water and test the operation of the Sump Pump Controller. Adjust position of the sensors if necessary.
