Introduction
Read all instructions thoroughly. Installation of the OilTector® control system must comply with all federal, state, and local
codes, regulations, and practices. The control system must be installed by qualified personnel familiar with all applicable
local electrical and mechanical codes. Refer to the National Electrical Code (NEC) (NFPA 70). Failure to properly install, test,
and operate this product can result in personal injury or equipment malfunction.
The OilTector control system is designed and approved for the safe operation of pumping, alarming, and monitoring of
elevator sump pits, transformer vaults, and leachate well applications. The OilTector control panel will activate a pump to
remove water from pits in accordance with ASME A17.1, stopping the pump before oil or other harmful substances enter the
water supply. The control panel programmable logic controller (PLC) will monitor various conditions including but not limited
to: power, pump running, high water alarm, and high oil alarm with included auxiliary contacts that activate on power loss
or high oil/water conditions. These contacts are connected to the OilTector remote alarm panel which provides audio and
visual indication of an alarm condition with built-in auxiliary contacts for connection to a building automation system (BAS)
or SCADA system and phone dialers for remote notification of alarm conditions. The recommended minimum sump size is
Ø18" x 30" high.
Safety Guidelines
1. DISCONNECT ALL ELECTRICAL SERVICE BEFORE WORKING ON OR HANDLING THE OILTECTOR SYSTEM.
2. DO NOT USE WITH FLAMMABLE OR EXPLOSIVE FLUIDS SUCH AS GASOLINE, FUEL OIL, KEROSENE, ETC.
DO NOT USE IN EXPLOSIVE ATMOSPHERES. SENSOR MODULE SHOULD ONLY BE USED WITH WATER.
3. DO NOT HANDLE THE OILTECTOR CONTROL SYSTEM WITH WET HANDS, WHEN STANDING ON A WET OR
DAMP SURFACE, OR IN WATER.
4. INCOMING VOLTAGE MUST MATCH OILTECTOR CONTROL SYSTEM VOLTAGE.
5. TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK AND EQUIPMENT MALFUNCTION, USE ONLY WITH A PUMP SUPPLIED
WITH A GROUNDING CONDUCTOR AND GROUNDING-TYPE ATTACHMENT PLUG. MAKE SURE TO PLUG THE
OILTECTOR CONTROL PANEL INTO A PROPERLY GROUNDED, GROUNDING-TYPE RECEPTACLE.
6. CONTROL PANEL CAN BE MOUNTED INDOORS OR OUTDOORS. ALARM PANEL MUST BE MOUNTED INDOORS.
FOR OUTDOOR ALARM APPLICATIONS, CONSULT FACTORY.
7. SECURE THE PRESET LEVEL SENSOR MODULE ON THE DISCHARGE PIPE AT A LEVEL THAT GUARANTEES
PARTIAL PUMP SUBMERGENCE WHEN THE WATER LEVEL IS JUST BELOW THE PUMP STOP PROBE
(longest probe; see preset level sensor step 2 on page 5 of this manual). FAILURE TO PROPERLY MOUNT THE PRESET
LEVEL SENSOR MODULE MAY CAUSE UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCES.
8. CAUTION! REMOVE ANY FLOAT SWITCH THAT IS CURRENTLY USED OR SUPPLIED WITH THE PUMP. IF THE
FLOAT CANNOT BE REMOVED, SECURE FLOAT SWITCH SO THAT IT IS ALWAYS ON.
