Installation Instructions
Prior to Installation
1. Visually inspect your pump. Products may be damaged during shipping. If the product
has been damaged, contact your place of purchase or Glentronics, Inc. before installation.
2. Thoroughly read the instructions provided to learn specific details regarding installation
and use. This manual should be retained for future reference.
Installing the Pump
This installation must be in accordance with the National
WARNING
Electric Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
1. Use a pit that conforms to all local codes and is
large enough to accommodate the pump and
float switch. Larger pits are preferred, since
they will extend the discharge cycle and reduce
the number of times the pump turns on.
2. Clean the pit of all debris.
3. The pump should not be set directly onto a
clay, earthen, or sand base.
4. The pump should be level. You may install
bricks or blocks under the pump to provide a
solid base.
5. Install discharge plumbing according to local,
regional and state codes. Rigid PVC pipe is
recommended.
6. The size of the discharge outlets on the pumps
are 2". Match the size of the discharge pipe to
the size of the outlet on the pump to maintain
the optimum pumping capacity.
7. An in-line check valve is recommended to
prevent back-flow. Note: When using a check
valve, an air bleed hole of 3/16" (4.76mm) for
the E7 Series needs to be drilled in the discharge
pipe. The best location is about 3" above the
top of the discharge outlet. The hole must be
drilled below the check valve. A small stream of
water will escape through this air bleed hole when the pump is running, so the hole should
be drilled on an angle toward the bottom of the pit.
8. Install a gate valve or ball valve as required by any codes.
9. Secure the power cord to the discharge pipe with wire ties or clamps to prevent
interference with the float assembly.
10. A cover is required in all sewage pump installations with gas-tight seals to contain gases
and odors. A vent pipe should be added in any sewage installation.
11. In instances where the discharge line is exposed to freezing temperatures, the pipe must
be positioned in a downward slope so any remaining water will drain away. Failure to do
this will prevent water from exiting the pit and damage the pump if the line freezes.
Installing the Ultimate Sensor
The Ultimate Sensor is easy to install by using the
enclosed stainless steel hose clamp.
1. Hold the ball shaped sensor to the discharge
pipe so that the sensor rod is below the ball.
The sensor wire includes a connector that can
be separated from the controller when the wire
needs to be threaded through small openings.
2. Secure the sensor rod to the pipe with the
enclosed hose clamp, but do not completely
tighten the clamp at this time. Be sure to
place the drive mechanism of the clamp on
the adjacent side of the sensor. This will
allow the extra material of the clamp to be as
close as possible to the sensor once it is completely tightened.
3. Position the sensor to a level where the bottom of the sensor rod is no lower than
3" above the bottom of the pump. To avoid debris pouring onto the sensor, it
should be positioned on the side opposite the drain tile.
Note: It is important to mount the sensor below the drain tile that empties into the
pit. Mounting it above the drain tile would allow water to fill the drain tile before the
pump is activated to pump out the water.
4. Once the sensor is in the desired position, tighten the clamp. Do not over tighten.
Installing the Vertical Float
The vertical float switch contains a single large float.
Sewage will lift the float to the top of the lift rod
which will raise the lift rod and activate the pump.
As the pump evacuates the sewage from the pit the
float will drop, lowering the lift rod and turning off
the pump.
1. Fully open the metal hose clamp and insert it
through the slots in the mounting bracket of the
float switch.

2. Place the hose clamp over the discharge pipe so that the gripping tabs are against the
pipe and select the desired activation level of the pump.
3. The pumping range can be adjusted by moving the float stop up or down the lift rod.
4. To avoid debris from pouring onto the float, it should be positioned on the side of the
discharge pipe opposite the drain tile.
5. Once the float switch is in the desired position, securely tighten the hose clamp. Note:
The cable from the switch must remain outside the hose clamp.
Connecting the Pump and Controller
Make sure the outlet is single phase, 115V and 60HZ for all
WARNING
the pump installations.
Ultimate Solid State Controller
1. Mount the controller to the foundation, drywall or
a stud through the 2 holes on the cabinet using
the proper mounting hardware for the application.
The controller should be mounted at least 4 from
the floor and within 4' of the outlet. Do not use
an extension cord.
2. Plug the sensor into the bottom of the controller.
Once the controller is plugged into the outlet it
will recognize the sensor in about 10 seconds.
3. Open the plastic door on the top of the unit and using a flat head screwdriver adjust the
dial to select the number of seconds that the pump will run after the water falls below
the sensor. The dial can be adjusted from 5-45 seconds. The manufacturer default is
about 10 seconds. Install a 9V alkaline battery and replace the plastic door.
4. Plug the control box into a properly grounded, 3-prong receptacle (preferably with ground
fault circuit interrupt). Then, plug the pump into the receptacle on the control box.
Do not use an extension cord.
5. Make sure the Power Failure Alarm slide switch
is in the ON position. Note: Do not attempt to
use sensors or float switches other than the
Ultimate Sensor with this controller.
Vertical Float Switch
1. Insert the vertical switch's piggy-back plug into a properly grounded 3-prong receptacle
(preferably with a ground fault circuit intercept).
2. Insert the pump plug into the piggy-back plug.
Connecting to a Security System (USC3)
The Ultimate Solid State Controller (Model USC3) includes a
terminal on the right side of the control box to connect to a
security system or other alarm devices. There are (3) three
positions for wire connections on this terminal: N.O. – normally
open, N.C. – normally closed, and Common.
1. Check your security system to determine whether an open (no contact) or closed (making
contact) connection is needed to activate the alarm.
2. The security system will provide (2) two connection terminals to extend wires to the
control terminal. Strip two wires 1/4" each. Connect either wire to the common
terminal. To secure the wire into the terminal, insert the exposed wire into the hole on
the side of the terminal next to the screw marked common. Turn the screw a few turns to
lock-in the wire.
3. If the security system requires a closing of a contact to activate the alarm, secure the
other wire into the terminal hole labeled N.O. (normally open). If the security system
requires an opening of a contact, secure the wire into the terminal hole labeled N.C.
(normally closed). Note: Only the "AC power out" and 'Float raised for 10 minutes" alarms
will activate the remote terminal signal.
Completing the Installation (all models)
1. After the initial installation, be sure to check the pump operation by filling the pit with
water and observing the pump through one full cycle. When using the vertical float the
pump should shut off after the float drops. Note: When the pump activates, it should
have a "normal pumping" sound. Any abnormal sound, vibration, or lack of output is the
signal of a problem. Stop the pump and refer to the troubleshooting guide.
2. Replace the pit cover making sure not to pinch or crimp the pump wire with the cover.
The pit cover either has a 'hole punch' that will allow the cord to be passed through or
one can be drilled.
Product Operation
Operating the Pump in a Continuous Duty Application
The PHCC Pro Series pumps are rated for continuous duty and may be used in applications
requiring continuous pumping including fountains, ponds, etc. For use in any continuous
duty application the pump should be plugged directly into the wall outlet without the use of
a controller. The outlet must be a single phase properly grounded 3-prong receptacle, 115V,
60HZ (preferably with ground fault circuit interrupt). For continuous duty operation, the
pump must be submerged at least ¾ of the depth of the pump at all times.
