Installation; Maintenance - Franklin Electric Little Giant OS3 Quick Start Manual

CAUTION: Remove any float switch that is currently used or
supplied with the pump. If the float switch cannot be removed,
secure it so that it is always on.

INSTALLATION

CONTROL PANEL INSTALLATION:
1. Choose a mounting location for the control panel (Figure 1),
ensuring that it is within 6 feet of an electrical outlet.
2. Attach the 2 mounting flanges (Figure 2) to the control panel
enclosure.
3. Mount the panel at the desired location.
4. For models with an overload relay, set the relay dial to the full
load amps of the pump (Figure 3).
5. WHEN READY FOR TESTING, plug the pump's power cord into
the control panel outlet cable. (See TESTING section.)
PRESET LEVEL SENSOR HOLDER INSTALLATION:
NOTE: No adjustment of the preset level sensor holder is required.
6. Attach the sensor holder to the discharge pipe (or a separate
pipe mounted to the side wall) using the stainless steel pipe
clamp (Figure 4). Make sure the sensor is clear of inlet water and
at least 1" to 2" away from any conductive material. To ensure
that the pump remains submerged, make sure the OFF probe is
at the same height as the top of the pump or just slightly below
(Figure 5).
7. Route the 5-conductor cable to the control panel through the
liquid-tight cord connector.
8. Connect the wires from the level sensor to the terminal strip
inside the control panel (Figure 6).
ALARM PANEL INSTALLATION:
9. To provide battery back-up, remove the two side screws and
install a 9 VDC battery (Figure 7). Press the test switch to ensure
that the alarm sounds and the battery backup system is working.
Reinstall the side screws.
10. Select a mounting location for the alarm panel, ensuring that it is
within 6 feet of an electrical outlet (Figure 8). To maintain power
integrity, make sure the outlet is on a separate circuit breaker
from any other device, and not a switched outlet.
11. Mount the alarm panel using two #8 x 1-1/4" self-tapping screws
(not included). Use a #8 plastic anchor if mounting to sheet rock
(Figure 8).
12. If auxiliary contacts (Figure 10) are used, remove the cover from
the base, then remove the 1/2" electrical knockout (Figure 9).
13. Using 16 - 2 AWG stranded wire, route all wires into the alarm
base (Figure 9). CAUTION: Keep wires away from sharp objects
and internal components. NOTE: Leave at least 6" of wire inside
of enclosure.
14. Install a 1/2" strain relief with jam nut, then connect the wires for
the required application using wire nuts (Figure 9).
15. There are two terminals on the bottom of the alarm panel.
Connect a wire from the first terminal to control panel terminal
#6 and connect another wire from the second terminal of the
alarm panel to control panel terminal #7 (Figure 8).
16. Plug the power supply in to a 120VAC, 50/60 Hz standard wall
outlet. For UL applications, remove the center screw on the outlet
and place the cord from the wall-mounted transformer inside the
plastic cord holder. Secure the plastic cord holder to the outlet by
reinstalling screw to the center hole of outlet (Figure 8). CAUTION:
For Canadian applications, do not install the plastic cord holder.
17. Observe that the green NORMAL light turns on.
18. Test the system by pressing the TEST switch. Observe that the
buzzer and the red warning light turn ON and that the green
NORMAL light is OFF.

19. While holding the TEST switch, press the SILENCE switch.
Observe that the buzzer turns off, but the alarm light remains on.
Let go of the TEST switch and observe that the alarm light turns
off and the green NORMAL light turns on. This indicates that the
system is now in a normal condition.
Upon the complete installation of controls, pump, and piping, test
the system for proper operation:
1. Test the high-oil circuit by lifting the float switch with the sump
empty of water. Oil is non-conductive, and when the float is lifted
only the HIGH OIL indicator will be illuminated. The auxiliary
contacts in the control panel and the remote alarm will activate.
2. Test a pump cycle by slowly filling the tank with water, stopping
when the water level touches the START probe. Observe that the
pump turns on and starts removing water until the level reaches
the OFF probe, at which time the pump should stop. Check the
discharge plumbing for leaks and make sure the discharge is
going to the correct area.
3. Test the high-water circuit by unplugging the pump from the
control panel and slowly filling the tank until the water level
touches the ALARM probe. The HIGH WATER indicator should
illuminate, and the auxiliary contacts in the control panel and the
remote alarm should activate.
4. Test the remote alarm for power loss by unplugging the power
cord on the control panel. The auxiliary contacts should close
and the remote alarm should activate.
5. Test the alarm panel by ensuring that the green POWER ON
light is on. Press the TEST switch and observe that the red alarm
light and buzzer turn on.
6. Test the battery backup system (if used) by unplugging the wall-
mounted power supply and observing that the green light turns
off.
7. Press the TEST switch and observe that the red alarm light and
buzzer turn ON. If the buzzer sounds quieter than when tested
with the normal power supply, replace the battery.

MAINTENANCE

1. Clean the preset level control with alcohol to ensure that it
remains free of rust, mud, soap or any conductive material.
2. Clean the probes yearly, keeping them free of debris, calcium,
or iron deposits.
3. Replace the 9-volt battery in the remote alarm yearly.
4. When replacing fuses in the control panel, use 5mm x 20mm
1/2-amp for F1 and 5mm x 20mm 1-amp for F2.
