all applicable local codes and ordinances.
Clarus Environmental 10-0229, 10-0230, 10-1209, 10-1210, 10-1964, 10-1965, 10-1966 and 10-1967 Variable Level Pump Switches are designed for use with
the appropriate voltage and horsepower, nonautomatic, single phase, Clarus Environmental pumps.
Use 10-0229, 10-1209, 10-1964 and 10-1966 for 115V and 10-0230, 10-1210, 10-1965 and 10-1967 for 230V. All can be used as a control switch for a magnetic
or combination starter. Maximum temperature must not exceed 140°F. NOTE: UL Recognized and CSA approved. NOTE: Consult Clarus Environmental for controlling units over
1½ HP with a variable level pump switch.
Make sure the pump electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses or circuit breakers of proper capacity. A separate branch circuit is recommended,
FOR YOUR PROTECTION ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP FROM ITS POWER SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING. Single phase pumps are supplied
DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE GROUND PIN. The 3-prong plug must be inserted into a mating 3-prong grounded recep-
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Decide the desired pumping range for your installation. (See Fig.
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE INSTALLING - ALL APPLICATIONS
1.) Secure the oat cable clamps to the discharge pipe at the
distance you desire. (See clamp detail in Fig. 6 on next page).
The oat labeled “TOP” must be on top. (The cable clamps are
releasable, which permits readjustment and removal.)
NOTICE: Do not adjust “Off’’ Level below discharge on
pump.

2. Insert the piggyback plug from the switches into a standard grounded
outlet of proper voltage. For automatic operation plug the pump
directly into the piggyback plug. (Pump can be manually operated
by bypassing piggyback plug.) See Fig. 2.
NOTICE: For installation utilizing a watertight junction box or
similar connections, see Figure 3.
NOTICE: For installation as a control switch for magnetic or
combination starter, see Figure 4.
3. Securely tape or clamp both piggyback switch cord and pump cord
to the discharge pipe, clear of oat operation. (See Fig. 1.) Excess
cord should be coiled and fastened to the discharge pipe.
4. Clean basin free of debris after installation.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Decide the desired pumping range for your installation instruction. (See Fig.5 and Figure 10.) (B) is the

distance between the mounting point of attachment and the oat. The distance (B), determines (A), the
desired pumping range.
2. At Distance (B), determined from Figure 10) place the cord into the clamp as shown in Fig. 6.
3. Position the oat to the desired “OFF” level and secure the clamp to the discharge pipe as shown in Fig.6.
See Fig. 5 noting water line. NOTE: Do not install cord under hose clamp.
4. Tighten hose clamp using a screw driver. NOTE: Do not over tighten. Over tightening may result in
damage to the plastic clamp. Make sure the oat cable is not allowed to touch the excess hose clamp
band during operation.
NOTICE: Do not adjust “Off’’ Level below discharge on pump.
5. Insert the piggyback plug from the switch into a standard grounded outlet of proper voltage. For automatic
operation, plug the pump directly into the piggyback plug. (See Fig. 7.) Pump can be manually operated
by bypassing the piggyback plug.
NOTICE: For installation utilizing watertight junction box or similar connections, see Figure 8.
NOTICE: For installation as a control switch for magnetic starter, see Figure 9.
6. Tape or clamp both piggyback switch and pump cords to the discharge pipe, clear of oat operation. (See
Fig. 5.) Excess cord should be coiled and fastened outside the basin.
7. Clean basin free of debris after installation.
