Switch Does Not Turn On Pump:
- Test the pump without the Ion+™ switch:
- Plug the pump directly into the wall outlet, without plugging it into the switch plug.
- If pump still does not run, see the troubleshooting section in the pump manual.
- If the pump does run, continue to the next step.
- Test the switch with the pump:
- Plug the pump into the Ion+™ switch and plugging the Ion+™ switch plug into the wall. You will see the green light come on.
- Push up on the sensing plate through the center hole on the underside of the switch. Note that, being an electronic switch, you will not hear a clicking sound. If it is working, you will see an orange light come on, along with the green run light.
- If the pump does not turn on, the switch will have to be replaced.
- If the pump does turn on, continue to the next step.
- Verify the range of the switch:
- The part number can be found on the switch cord tag.
- INP 20306… = 6" range
- For a pipe-mounted switch, see Page 2, Installation Drawing to verify that the On level is appropriate for your basin.
- Lower the switch on the pipe so the On level is at a point within the basin, insuring that the Off level does not fall below the minimum level shown in the Installation Drawing.
- If the On level is still too high, the switch will have to be replaced with a lower range Ion+™ switch.
- For a pump-mounted switch, see Page 2, Figure D to verify that the On level is appropriate for your basin.
- If the On level is too high, the switch will have to be replaced.
- The part number can be found on the switch cord tag.
Switch Does Not Turn Off Pump:
- Unplug the pump from the Ion+™ and then unplug the Ion+™ from the wall outlet.
- Plug the pump back into the Ion+™ and plug the Ion+™ back into the wall outlet.
- If the pump does not turn on right away, and the water level is not at the On level, let the pump go through an On / Off cycle a few times to insure that the switch is functioning properly. The basin may need to be filled with a garden hose or bucket.
- If the pump turns on right away, and the water level is not at the On level, the switch will have to be replaced.
To Test Switch Alarm Mode
- Applying constant pressure, push on sensing plate past the 6" turn on point. Once the orange light comes on, continue pushing until you see the orange light flash. The red light will turn on next and then the audio alarm will sound.
- If you can not push the sensing plate hard enough to activate alarm mode, the switch will need to be replaced
Note: When the Ion+™ switch goes into alarm mode, the orange light will flash. All lights will go blank and it will then go into alarm mode.
