Intelligent Panel Series

Installation Instructions and Operation/Troubleshooting Manual

This control panel must be installed and serviced by a

licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electric Code NFP A-70, state and local electrical codes. All conduit running from

the sump or tank to the control panel must be sealed with conduit sealant to prevent moisture or gases from entering the panel. NEMA 4X enclosures are for indoor or outdoor use, primarily to provide a degree of protection against corrosion, windblown dust and rain, splashing water and hose-directed water. Cable connectors must be

liquid-tight in NEMA 4X enclosures.

The Level Sensor is suitable for use in sewage applications.

Do NOT use in potable water.

Installation

Intelligent Panel Series control panels are designed to control pump(s). The controller records pump status, number of cycles, elapsed run time, alarm counts, and signal error counts.

Mounting the Control Panel

Note: The control panel should not be mounted in a location that may be subject to submersion.

Warranty void if panel is modiﬁ ed.

1. Determine mounting location for panel. If distance exceeds the length of either the sensor or ﬂ oat cables or the pump power cables, splicing will be required. Note: For splicing Level Sensor cord, use only shielded cable. Splice conductors as well as shielding. Maximum total cable length is 100 feet. For outdoor or wet installation, we recommend the use of an SJE-Rhombus liquid-tight junction box with liquid-tight connectors to make required connections. You must use conduit sealant to prevent moisture

or gases from entering the panel.

2. Mount control panel with mounting devices furnished.

3. Determine conduit entrance locations on control panel. Check local

codes and schematic for the number of power circuits required.

(Level Sensor cable requires separate conduit from power and pump cables.)

Note: Be sure the proper power supply voltage, amperage, and phase

meet the requirements of the pump motor(s) being installed. If in doubt, see the pump identiﬁ cation plate for voltage/phase requirements.

4. Drill proper size holes for type of connectors being used.

Note: If using conduit, be sure that it is of adequate size to pull the

pump cable(s) through.

5. Attach cable connectors and/or conduit connectors to control panel.

FOR INST ALLATION REQUIRING A SPLICE, FOLLOW STEPS 6-10;

FOR INST ALLATION WITHOUT A SPLICE, GO TO STEP 11.

6. Determine location for mounting junction box according to local code requirements. Do not mount the junction box inside the sump or basin.

7. Mount junction box to proper support.

8. Run conduit to junction box. Drill proper size holes for the type of conduit used.

9. Identify and label each wire before pulling through conduit into control panel and junction box. Make wire

splice connections at junction box.

10. Firmly tighten all ﬁ ttings on junction box.

11. Set motor protective switches: a) set the dials to match motor full load amps. b) turn dial on motor protective switch to the ON position.

NOTE: Resetting the dial with power applied to the motor protective switch could start the motor.

12. If a junction box is not required, pull cables through conduit into control panel.

13. Connect pump wires per wiring diagram or schematic, and sensor or ﬂ oat wires to the proper terminals as

shown on the schematic.

14. Connect pump, control, and alarm incoming power conductors to proper position on terminals. See schematic for terminal connections.

VERIFY CORRECT OPERATION OF CONTROL PANEL AFTER INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.

Installation of Level Sensor and Floats

CAUTION: If control switch cables are not wired and mounted in the correct order, the pump system will not function properly. Sensor and ﬂ oat cables need to run in separate conduit from pump and power lines.

WARNING: Turn off all power before installing pump wires in pump chamber. Failure to do so could result in serious or fatal electrical shock.

NOTE: The Level Sensor operates between 0 and 39.9 inches of water pressure. The Level Sensor reads 0 inches at the approximate point shown in Figure 2. As the liquid level rises, the IFS display shows depth of liquid from the zero point. The minimum set point for the stop or redundant off level is 3 inches (measured from 0) see Figure 2.

The maximum set point allowed is 39.9 inches (measured from 0). Operating temperature range is 32ºF (0ºC) to 120ºF (50ºC).

1. Determine the nominal operating levels for the conﬁ guration, as illustrated in Figure 3 or 4.

2. Position Level Sensor at appropriate location on pipe and secure sensor and vent as shown in Figure 2 using

hose clamps.

WARNING: Do not support the Level sensor by the cable. Position the sensor in the tank so that nothing is

pushing in the diaphragm.

3. Position vent so it is above the water level and stow excess vent tube as shown in Figure 2.

WARNING: Do NOT kink or place black tubing under hose clamp. Doing so will cause sensor to fail.

4. If optional high water or redundant off ﬂ oats are used, position and secure as shown in Figures 1, 3 or 4. Redundant off ﬂ oat should be located to activate at approximately the zero point for the Level Sensor per

Figure 3 or 4.

NOTE: Liberty Pumps, Inc. recommends using the optional high water alarm ﬂ oat for added protection against

ﬂ ooding.

5. Tighten all hose clamps using a screw driver. Over tightening may result in damage to the plastic parts.

NOTE: All hose clamp components are made of 18-8 stainless steel material. See your Liberty Pumps, Inc.

supplier for replacement parts.

6. Functionally test the system by ﬁ lling the tank and witnessing proper operation.

Operations

The Intelligent Panel Series control panel uses the Level Sensor to continuously monitor and control the liquid level in the tank. An optional high water alarm ﬂ oat and redundant off ﬂ oat can be used to provide additional protection from high or low water conditions.

Hand Operation - The level must be above the stop/redundant off set point to put the panel in HAND operation.

To override the stop/redundant off set point, press and hold the HAND button. The pump runs until the HAND button is released. The panel then returns to the AUTO mode. If the level is above the stop/redundant off set point and the panel is placed in the HAND mode, and left in HAND mode, the pump continues to run until the liquid level reaches the stop/redundant off set point. The panel then returns to the AUTO mode.

Off Operation - The panel is in the OFF mode. Auto Operation - In time dose (t-dose) mode, when the panel is in the AUTO mode, the timer controls pump

ON and OFF time as long as the redundant off and timer enable set points are activated. In demand (d-dose), the stop and lead set points control the pump.

Level Indicators - Illuminate if the corresponding set point is triggered. Green Control and Alarm Power Indicators - (mounted on interior circuit board) Illuminates when

control power and alarm power is present. If the control fuse needs replacing the panel sounds an alarm.

LED Display - Used to view and set panel settings and cycle count data. Will turn off after ﬁ ve minutes of non-use.

Viewing Panel Settings and Cycle Data

To view panel settings and cycle data press the NEXT button. Each time the NEXT button is pressed the display will advance to the next setting or cycle data. Information will be displayed in the following order:

in - Level of the liquid measured from the zero point on the sensor. This will be shown in inches or centimeters depending on the units selected.

t-dOSE or d-dOSE – Identiﬁ es if the panel is conﬁ gured as a time dose or demand dose panel. Et 1 – Elapsed time meter for pump 1 shown in hh:mm:ss. CC 1 – Cycle count for pump 1. AL 1Ctr – Cycle count for Duo Alarm 1 option for single phase models OR

Troubleshooting

Level Sensor

1. Verify that the black tube is not kinked or has any holes in it. If either condition exists, the pressure sensor may fail or give inaccurate level readings.

2. Vent must be above water and unobstructed. This is required to compensate for barometric pressure changes. Obstructing the vent will result in inaccurate level readings.

3. The black diaphram is located on the end of the sensor body . The diaphragm must not be damaged or deformed. A damaged or deformed diaphragm will result in inaccurate level readings.

4. Verify the bottom of the Level Sensor is not resting on the bottom of the tank or on any other obstacle.

5. Verify that the electrical cable is not damaged or severed.

6. Verify that the shielding for cable is properly attached to ground.

7. If the panel includes the optional redundant off ﬂ oat, verify that the ﬂ oat is properly wired to the panel.

Fuse

To check the continuity of the fuse, pull the fuse out of the fuse holder. With the ohmmeter on the R X 1 scale, measure resistance. A reading of inﬁ nity (high resistance) indicates a blown fuse that must be replaced with a fuse of the same type, voltage, and amp rating.

Alarm Light

With power on, hold the test/normal/silence switch in the “test” position. The alarm light should turn on. If not, replace the light with that of the same type.

Alarm Horn

With power on, hold the test/normal/silence switch in the “test” position. The alarm horn should turn on. If not, replace the horn with that of the same type.
