Operation
SJE-Rhombus® Model 112 Single Phase Simplex control
panels are designed to operate in a three float
system as standard. When all floats are in the open or OFF
position, the panel is inactive. As the liquid level changes
and closes the stop float, the panel remains inactive until
the start float closes. At this point the pump will start,
providing the HOA switch is in the AUTOMATIC mode and
the power is ON. The pump will remain ON until both the
stop and start floats open (return to the OFF position).
If the liquid level travels beyond both the stop and start
floats and reaches the alarm float, the alarm will be
activated. The alarm horn can be silenced by pressing and
releasing the test/silence switch.
Alarm System (Indicator Light and Horn)
When an alarm condition occurs, the red light and horn will
be activated.
If the TEST/NORMAL/SILENCE switch is moved to the
SILENCE position and released, the horn will be silenced.
When the alarm condition is cleared, the alarm system is
reset.
Hand-Off-Auto (HOA) Switch
The HOA 3-way switch controls pump functions.
In HAND mode, the pump will turn ON.
OFF turns the pump OFF.
In AUTO mode, commands from the float
switches turn the pump ON and OFF.
Auxiliary Contact
Form C - Can be wired normally open or normally closed.
Circuit Breaker
(optional)
The circuit breaker provides pump disconnect and branch
circuit protection.
Motor Contactors
The motor contactor controls the pump by switching
electrical lines.
Wiring the Control Panel
