3. Configuración e instalación

3.1 Controller Unit Installation

The controller unit can be installed using two primary methods:

  • Montaxe na parede: Use screws to secure the controller to a wall or vertical surface. Ensure it is mounted in a dry location, away from direct water exposure.
  • Adhesive Hook Mounting: For temporary or non-invasive installations, an adhesive hook can be used to hang the controller. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying the hook.

3.2 Instalación do sensor

The dual electrode sensors are designed for adjustable water level detection. They can be positioned to detect water levels within a range of 0.5 inches to 20 inches.

  • Posicionamento: Place the sensors in the water tank, sump pit, or reservoir where water level monitoring is required. The sensors should be vertically oriented.
  • Axuste de altura: The high (Hi) and low (Lo) sensors can be adjusted independently along their cables to set the desired activation and deactivation points for your pump. The distance between the two sensors determines the operational range.
  • Securing Sensors: Use the provided suction cups or cable ties to secure the sensor cables and electrodes in place, preventing movement that could affect accuracy.
Adjustable Sensors 1/2 inch to 20 inch Range

It shows how the individual sensors can be moved along a vertical rod to set precise high and low water detection points. An inset shows a close-up of a single sensor with its installation method.

3.3 Conexión eléctrica

  • Fonte de alimentación: Plug the controller's power cord into a standard 110V or 220V AC outlet.
  • Conexión da bomba: Plug your sump pump or utility pump into the output receptacle on the Ortis controller. Ensure the pump's electrical rating does not exceed 2Hp/20A.

4. Instrucións de funcionamento

The Ortis controller offers intuitive operation with LED indicators and a mode selection button.

4.1 Selección de modo

The controller supports two main operational modes: Modo de drenaxe e Water Mode (Fill). It also features three adjustable load running modes.

  • Modo de drenaxe: Ideal for sump pits and sewage pits. The pump activates when water reaches the high sensor and deactivates when it drops below the low sensor, effectively draining the area.
  • Water Mode (Fill): Suitable for water tanks or fish tanks. The pump activates when water drops below the low sensor and deactivates when it reaches the high sensor, replenishing the water.
  • Load Running Modes: Refer to the detailed instructions in the included quick start guide for specific configurations of the three load running modes. These modes allow for fine-tuning of pump cycling behavior.

4.2 Indicadores LED

The front panel features several LED indicators to provide real-time status information:

  • Drain LED: Illuminates when the controller is operating in Drain Mode.
  • Water LED: Illuminates when the controller is operating in Water Mode (Fill).
  • DisAlarm LED: Indicates a system alarm (e.g., pump failure, clog, abnormal discharge).
  • AUTO/OFF/ON LEDs: Show the current operational state of the pump (Automatic, Off, or Manually On).
  • Load LED: Illuminates when the connected pump is actively running.

This image details the 'Drain', 'Water', 'DisAlarm' LEDs, the 'Mute' button, and the 'AUTO', 'OFF', 'ON' selection buttons with their corresponding 'Load' indicator, providing a clear guide to the user interface.

4.3 Intelligent Overload & Failure Alerts

The controller is equipped with advanced safety features:

  • Protección contra sobrecarga: Automatically activates when the current drawn by the connected pump exceeds 23A, preventing damage to the pump and controller.
  • Real-time Alarms: The system provides alerts for pump failures, clogs, or abnormal discharge conditions. The 'DisAlarm' LED will illuminate.
  • Función de silencio: An alarm can be silenced for up to 24 hours by pressing the 'Mute' button, useful during temporary maintenance or inspection.

5. Mantemento

The Ortis Electronic Adjustable Float Switch Controller is designed for minimal maintenance.

  • Limpeza de sensores: The 304 stainless steel electrode sensors are corrosion-resistant and designed to be maintenance-free for up to 10 years. However, in environments with heavy mineral buildup or debris, occasional inspection and gentle cleaning of the electrodes may be beneficial to ensure accurate readings. Always disconnect power before cleaning.
  • Unidade controladora: Keep the controller unit clean and dry. Wipe with a soft, damp cloth if necessary. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water.
  • Inspección de cables: Periodically inspect all cables for signs of wear, damage, or fraying. Replace any damaged cables immediately.
