of the switch. From this point, measure up either 6” or
8.5”, depending on your switch’s range, to find the On
level. Please refer to the Installation Drawing.
CAUTION: Bottom of switch should not be
mounted lower than suction inlet of pump.
When installing the Ion® switch with the pipe mounted
bracket be sure not to set the switch too low or too
high on the pipe. The Ion® must be installed above the
inlet of the pump to prevent air-locking as shown in
the installation drawing.

mechanical

3.	 Multipoint sealing mechanism that supersedes
single surface seals.
4.	 Inverter rated for use with any battery
back-up system.
5.	 Standard piggy back connection for use with
any pump.
6.	 Suitable for sump and sewage applications.

Pipe Mounting Bracket (Optional)
1.	 Determine bracket mounting position (Figure
A).
2.	 Mount bracket to Ion® switch with screw already
provided in Ion® switch (Figure B).
3.	 Mount Hose Clamp with switch around pipe
at predetermined level. Cable should remain
outside hose clamp (Figure C).
4.	 Tighten hose clamp.
Note: The Ion® switch is available in 6” or 8.5” ranges.
A 10” range is available for special applications. See
chart for available ranges and cord lengths. The range
of the switch is the distance between the On and Off
levels. The Off level is at the bracket mounting screw

To prevent flooding do not set the on point of the
switch higher than the top of the basin.

Piggy-Back Installation
Electrical outlet must not be located in pump pit.
Electrical outlet voltage, piggy-back plug voltage and
pump voltage must all be the same voltage.
DO NOT CUT plug off unit.
Ensure vent tube on plug is protected from moisture,
dirt and insects and other items that could plug or
block tube.
1.	 Insert the Ion® switch’s piggy-back plug into
the outlet.
2.	 Plug pump into piggy-back plug as (Figure E).
3.	 Allow system to cycle to ensure proper
installation.
Please note this product may not work in
conjunction with other controllers.
Note: The Ion® switch does not operate like a standard
pressure switch. There are no contacts to wear out,
so when pressure is applied, there will not be a click.

CAUTION: To prevent electric shock, ensure
product is connected to a grounded outlet.
The electrical outlet should be properly wired to a
dedicated 15A circuit breaker. Proper short-circuit
and overload protection must be provided at the
distribution panel. Install in accordance with all local
and national electrical codes.
WARNING: Electrical outlet must not be
located in pump pit. For best performance, do
not use electrical extension cords.

Troubleshooting
Switch Does Not Turn On Pump
1.	 Test the pump without the Ion® switch
a.	 Plug the pump directly into the wall outlet,
without plugging it into the switch plug.
b.	 If pump still does not run, see the
troubleshooting section in the pump
manual.
c.	 If the pump does run, continue to the next
step.
2.	 Test the switch with the pump
a.	 Plug the pump into the Ion® switch and
plugging the Ion switch plug into the wall.
b.	 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.
c.	 If the pump does not turn on, the switch will
have to be replaced.

will have to be replaced with a lower
range Ion® switch.
c.	 For a pump-mounted switch, see Page
2, Figure D to verify that the On level is
appropriate for your basin.
i. If the On level is too high, the switch will
have to be replaced with a lower range
Ion switch.
Switch Does Not Turn Off Pump
1.	 Unplug the pump from the Ion® plug and then
unplug the Ion plug from the wall outlet.
2.	 Plug the pump back into the Ion® plug and plug
the Ion plug back into the wall outlet.
a.	 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.
b.	 If the pump turns on right away, and the
water level is not at the On level, the switch
will have to be replaced.

d.	 If the pump does turn on, continue to the
next step.
3.	 Verify the range of the switch
a.	 The part number can be found on the
switch cord tag.
i. IN-006… = 6” range
ii. IN-085... = 8.5” range
iii. IN-010… = 10” range (for special
applications)
b.	 For a pipe-mounted switch, see Page 2,
Installation Drawing to verify that the On
level is appropriate for your basin.
i. 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.

Warranty

if...

1.	 Using an extension cord.
2.	 Power cord has been cut or the grounding
prong removed or using an adapter fitting.
3.	 The switch has been disassembled or tampered
with.
4.	 Any tags or labels have been removed.
5.	 Used in a heavy grease application
6.	 Used in applications exceeding the designed
temperature range of 32 - 104 degrees F.

ii. If the On level is still too high, the switch
