Installing the Control Panel
In the Municipality of Anchorage, an electrician must be employed to do the
wiring. Outside the city, whether required or not, this is a good idea unless
one is thoroughly familiar with wiring and local codes.
Key Point:
On the inside of the control panel door, you will fi nd a label that shows
the model number and a six-digit RTU number. (RTU stands for Remote
Telemetry Unit). The RTU number is the identity of the system for as
long as it is in operation. Why is this a big deal to you? Well... if you are
installing and taking possession of more than one system at a time, it is
easy to simply grab the fi rst panel you fi nd... and it may end up at the
wrong house! Anchorage Tank makes the RTU / address assignments
as systems are sold so if you get confused - please call Anchorage Tank.
This has happened before. Imagine how much fun it is to have a control
panel "phone home" with an issue and the Service Provider shows up at
the wrong house where nothing is wrong.
Placement of the Control Panel
There has been a lot of debate where to place the Control Panel. Each site
is different but the rule of thumb is that the physical installation of the Con-
trol Panel should be within view of the Tank & Filter, at a convenient height,
usually 5 feet above grade.
The Control Panel contains motor contactors that make a clunking sound
each time the pump is activated. If the Panel is attached to the wall of a
house, it sounds like a moose kicking the wall every twenty minutes. With
that in mind, it is preferable to mount the Panel on a treated 4x6 post right
next to the wall.

The control panel has a distinct identity and has
been assigned to the address of that particular
job site.
The Control Panel should NOT be placed
inside the home. The idea is for the Service
Provider to access the panel for maintenance
and emergency situations and NOT bother
the homeowner.
Initially it may sound good to have the panel
located indoors but it actually isn't. The panel
is designed to be located outside.
