There are two aeration systems provided within the aeration
chamber: normal aeration and backwash. Valves (1 and 3) are
set at 50%. Observe the air flow on each side of the unit to verify
equal flow. If there is an obvious discrepancy in air flow between
the two sides, adjust the valves (1 and 3) so that the flow is equal.
Figure 13- Aeration Flow Adjustment
1. Connect house sewer pipe or septic tank outlet, if
required, to the unit inlet. Make certain only household
waste enters the unit (no foundation drains, gutter
drains, floor drains, etc.).
2. Connect the outlet pipe to the outlet of the unit.
PIPING INSTALLATION
HIGH WATER ALARM FLOAT INSTALLATION
The Fusion ® alarm panel assembly includes a high water
alarm float switch that is used to monitor the liquid level in
the Fusion ® unit. The switch should be tethered to one of
the gray, vertical air lines in the aeration chamber. With
a 3" (76 mm) tether length, the cord should pass through
the opening in the partition wall between the aeration and
anaerobic chamber and allow the float to hang in the outlet
baffle of the anaerobic chamber.
1. The float switch should be tethered to one of the gray,
vertical pipes in the aeration chamber. When the float
is in the horizontal position, the cord should be at
least 1" (25 mm) below the top of the partition wall
opening in the anaerobic chamber baffle.
2. Place the cord into the clamp and secure to gray aeration
pipe. NOTE: Do not install the cord under the clamp.
3. Position the float with a 3" (76 mm) tether.
4. Tighten the clamp with a screwdriver. Be careful not
to overtighten as this may cause damage to the plastic
clamp.
5. Make sure the float cord is not allowed to touch the
excess clamp band during operation as this may
cause damage to the cord.
6. The float switch cord should be installed in an electrical
conduit connecting the alarm panel to the Fusion ® unit.
The electrical conduit must be rated for burial, and should
be properly sealed to prevent gases from entering the
alarm panel.
7. A ½" (13 mm) bulkhead fitting (supplied by others)
should be used to connect the electrical conduit to the
Fusion ® unit. A hole must be drilled through the wall of
the Fusion ® unit between the red and blue bulkhead
fittings to facilitate this connection.
8. Please be certain that the bulkhead fitting for the
electrical conduit forms a watertight connection with the
FRP wall of the Fusion ® unit.
9. Electrical conduit from the Fusion ® unit to the alarm
panel can be buried in the same trench as the air lines.
10. The control switch can be wired directly into the alarm
panel. See Figure 7.
1. All electrical installations must follow
the National Electrical Code and/or your local/state
electrical codes.
2. The blower should be directly wired into the alarm panel.
The alarm panel must be located in a dry location that
is accessible for maintenance. Please see Figure 7 and the
wiring diagram and instructions enclosed with the alarm panel.
3. Make certain the timer within the control panel is set to
the proper time. The timer unit display should be set to
10 hrs. and the timer dial needle set to 3.6 for 36 hours.
This will activate an alarm if the blower doesn't go into
backwash cycle within a 36-hour time frame.
