Installing the DROP Pump Controller System from Chandler Systems involves several key steps to ensure optimal performance. Here's a straightforward guide to help you set up your system:
Step 1: Plumbing the Pump Controller
Begin by unpacking the equipment and attaching the 1/4" NPT stainless steel pump controller connection to your pressure tank tee. Use an appropriate length of pipe for this connection. Then, carefully insert the pump controller and hand-tighten the plastic nut.
Step 2: Electrical Connections
Next, connect the pump controller to your power source and the pump itself. Always refer to the wiring diagrams provided in the product manual. It's crucial to make all electrical connections securely and in accordance with local and state codes and regulations.
Step 3: Downloading the DROP Connect Mobile App
Download the DROP Connect mobile app. This app is essential for remote control and monitoring of your DROP Pump Controller System.
Step 4: Positioning the HUB and Optional REMOTE Devices
Determine the optimal locations for the HUB and any optional REMOTE devices. This placement will help to expand the DROP Link mesh network effectively. If you intend to connect the system to your local WiFi for remote control and notifications, ensure a strong WiFi signal in these areas.
Step 5: Mobile App Onboarding
Follow the onboarding instructions within the DROP Connect App. The app will guide you through the setup process, which includes adding and naming each device in your system.
Step 6: Adding Leak Detectors (Optional)
If you have Chandler Systems leak detectors, follow the instructions provided in the User Guide to place them in appropriate locations throughout your home.
Step 7: Configuring Your System
Customize your system settings using the DROP Connect App. Be sure that the pump controller operates within the recommended pressure settings for your particular system.
Step 8: Further Configuration
Choose the pump controller operation mode that best suits your needs (Normal Pump Controller, VFD Controller, or Alternating Pump Controller). Configure additional settings, such as the flow meter type and Pump Full Load Amps (FLA), along with any other parameters that apply to your setup.
By following these steps, you can successfully install and configure your Chandler Systems DROP Pump Controller System, enhancing your home's water management and protection capabilities.
