Manual 7235000H

The OilTector control system is designed and approved for the safe operation of pumping, alarming and monitoring of elevator

sump pits, transformer vaults and leachate well applications. The OilTector will activate a pump to remove water from elevator

pits in accordance with ASME A17.1. The OilTector stops the pump before oil or other harmful substances enter our water

supply. Indicator lights will illuminate on the control panel for the following: power, pump running, high alarm, high oil. The panel

has a set of auxiliary contacts that activate on power loss or high Oil/Water conditions. These contacts can be connected to the

OilTector remote panel which contains audio/visual alarming along with auxiliary contacts for connection to building automation

system or SCADA system. The recommended minimum sump size is Ø18” x 30” high.
