HydroCheck HC8000T Bedienungsanleitung

HC8000T Timed Sump Pump Controller

(Float Switch)

Overview:

The HC8000T Timed Sump Pump Controller will provide years of reliable and trouble-free service after completing a

simple and straightforward installation process. See Alarm & LED Guide, Smart Button Features, and Trou-

bleshooting sections for product details. This product is not rated for outdoor use.

READ PRIOR TO INSTALLATION:

1. The “piggyback plug” attached to the mechanical float switch cannot be used with the HC8000T. It

must be disconnected and remain disconnected.

2. If your sump pump has internal float switch wiring, i.e. does not have a “piggyback plug”, then you

must secure the float in an upward position as if the pit were full. This assures that the internal switch

is always closed and that the pump is enabled.

Step-by-Step Installation

Step 1

Unplug the sump pump from the back of “piggyback

plug”.

Step 2

Unplug the “piggyback plug” from the 120 VAC and set

aside. The HC8000T completely replaces this component.

Step 3

Secure the SENSOR to the discharge pipe with tie wrap

where the pump is intended to turn on.

NOTE: Recommended height for the Sensor is slightly

below the Drain Tile (Water Inlet Pipe).

Step 6

Adjust run time by following Run Time Adjustment steps

on Page 3.#

NOTE: This product defaults to a 10 second run duration

and can be reprogrammed at anytime.#

Step 7

TEST YOUR INSTALLATION BEFORE LEAVING IT FOR

UNATTENDED USE.#

NOTE: This product will not work if tested in a cup of

water. See How the Sensor Works: Do I need a ground

wire? below for more information.#

•Fill the pit with water until the water level

reaches the tip of the sensor.

•The pump should turn on and the water

level drop.

•When the adjusted runtime is up, the

switch should turn off the pump.

Run Time Adjustment

This product defaults to a 10 second run duration and can be reprogrammed at anytime by following these steps.#

How the Sensor Works: Do I need a ground wire?

The sensor detects the presence of water by using a continuity circuit. The continuity circuit works by allowing a

small current to ﬂow from the sensor, through the water, to the ground when the tip of the sensor is in water. When no

water is present, the circuit is broken and no current ﬂows. Normally, the pump provides the ground reference need-

ed for the continuity circuit to work, but occasionally it won’t. When this happens, it is necessary to provide a ground

reference for the sensor to work.#

Adding a Ground Wire:

Alarm & LED Guide

Step 1

Silence or eliminate all active alarms: There should be no audible alarms active (See “Smart Button

Features” on how to disable alarm).

Step 2

Press and hold the Smart Button for approximately 5 seconds, or until the output turns on and the light

starts to ﬂash green. The output turning on marks the start of the desired run time duration

NOTE: If the pump is in the middle of a run cycle when the Smart Button is pressed and held, the output

will turn off for a moment (canceling the cycle) then restart to mark the start of the run time programming.

Step 3

Release the Smart Button when the desired run time is reached. The output will turn off and the switch is

now reprogrammed with the new run time duration.

NOTE: Loss of power does not affect the programmed run time.

Step 1

Strip 1 inch of insulation oﬀeach end of a 14 AWG

length of wire.

Step 2

Secure one end of the wire to a metal water pipe or oth-

er metal electrical conduit.

Step 3

Place the other end of the wire into the pit so that it is

below the bottom sensor.#

NOTE: No danger of electrocution. Visit our website

Problem

Meaning

Method

Pump doesn’t turn on

Sensor is in water, but the

pump doesn’t start. LED is

solid Red.

The sensor isn’t getting a good ground from the pump.

Install a ground wire. See Adding a Ground Wire.

Pump turns off too soon

The pump starts a cycle, but

turns off before the cycle is

complete.

Check that the switch is programmed for the proper run

time. See Run Time Adjustment.

Pump doesn't turn off

The pump is drawing in air

but continues to run.

•Check that the sensor isn’t placed too low. The pump

needs to be able to pump the water level below the tip of

the sensor. #

•Check that the switch is programmed for the proper run

time. See Run Time Adjustment.#

•Check that the isn’t anything creating a bridge between

the sensor and the pump. This can cause an alternate

ground path for the sensor.

Pump turns on when no

water present

Something is triggering the

sensor, causing the switch to

“think” water is present.

Check that the isn’t anything creating a bridge between

the sensor and the pump. This can cause an alternate

ground path for the sensor.
