12 Level Sensor Series EP1226 The EP1226 solid state, non-contact level sensor monitors liquid level in a variety of applications. Encapsulated in a low profile enclosure, the electronic mass sensor is configured to work either in conjunction with the Tecmark EP1217 / EP1227 timers or as a stand-alone device. Designed for use with non-metallic containers. The sensor mounts via double sided adhesive backed foam tape to the dry side of the container. Use with EP1217 / EP1227 timers: The level sensor interfaces with the motor timer, via an optional three-pin header located on the timer to facilitate easy electrical connection. The level sensor will inhibit actuation of the timer s load relay until a pre-selected fluid level has been attained. If fluid level drops below the sensor actuation point during normal operation of the timer, the load relay will immediately de-energize to prohibit potential equipment or liquid spray damage. The timer will remain de-energized until the proper fluid level is restored and the PCB mounted air switch is actuated again. Stand Alone System: Powering a relay coil the sensor provides a logic signal to energize the relay when sufficient liquid level is sensed, or de-energize the relay if liquid level is insufficient.

Additionally, models are available for use with the Tecmark EP1226 solid state, non-contact liquid level sensor. Upon actuation of the PCB mounted air switch, the timer is started and the load relay is energized, applying line voltage to the output terminal. The load relay will de-energize when the time delay period expires, or if a second air switch actuation occurs during the time delay period. In both cases, the load relay is interrupted and the timer is reset. Models configured to work in conjunction with Tecmark s EP1226 level sensor module have a three-pin header to facilitate easy electrical connection. The level sensor will inhibit actuation of the timer s load relay until a preselected fluid level has been attained. If fluid level drops below the sensor actuation point during normal operation of the timer, the load relay will immediately de-energize to prohibit potential equipment or liquid spray damage.

16 Installation Instructions Command Center IMPORTANT NOTE: Proper Installation of the Command Center is essential to assure trouble free operation. INSTRUCTIONS MUST BE FOLLOWED EXACTLY. NOTICE: THIS CONTROL IS INTENDED FOR USE IN CONJUCTION WITH EQUIPMENT MANUFACTURED TO UL STANDARD 1563 AND /OR CSA STANDARD C22.2 NO M89 REQUIREMENTS. ALL WIRING MUST BE INSTALLED BY A LICENSED ELECTRICAL CONTRACTOR AND MUST CONFORM TO THE NA- TIONAL ELECTRICAL CODE AND ALL LOCAL CODES. CAUTION: THE COMMAND CENTER IS A FACTORY SEALED UNIT AND HAS NO USER SERVICEABLE COMPONENTS. DO NOT ATTEMPT TO OPEN THE COMMAND CENTER; SERVICE MUST BE PERFORMED BY TECMARK FACTORY PERSONNEL. ALTERATIONS TO THIS CONTOL OR FAILURE TO ADHERE TO THIS MANUFACTURER S PROCEDURES FOR INSTALLA- TION COULD RESULT IN DAMAGE TO THE CONTROL OR UNSATISFACTORY PERFORMANCE, VOIDING THIS MANUFACTURER S WARRANTY. INSTALLATION The Command Center may be installed in any position and in most locations, except DO NOT MOUNT UNDER WATER. When selecting a location to mount the Command Center, consideration to its placement must be given based on the length limitations of the temperature sensing cable and cordset. IMPORTANT NOTE: To assure proper operation, the temperature sensing bulb must be installed correctly. ALWAYS USE A THER- MOWELL to house the sensing bulb at the final point of installation. Failure to install the sensing bulb correctly could result in damage to the control or poor control response. A) LOCATE COMMAND CENTER First consideration must be given to where the Command Center is to be mounted. The maximum distance between the Command Center and the thermowell is the total overall length of the sensing bulb and cable. We recommend that you allow at least 2 of play for easy access during installation and removal of the bulb from the thermowell. B) MOUNTING A peel and stick template is included. 1) Attach the template to the desired mounting surface and follow the instructions provided on the template for size and location of the cutout. After the cutout is complete, clean the mounting surface thoroughly with alcohol and let dry. 2) Remove the green liner from the gasket on the Command Center, route the cordset and sensing bulb through the cutout, and install the control by pressing firmly around the perimeter. 3) Optional mounting screws are available to secure the Command Center if necessary. C) THERMOWELL INSTALLATION Location of the thermostat sensing bulb is critical. If the thermowell is installed in the plumbing of the circulation system, then it must be between the spa and the inlet to the spa heater. (see Fig. A) As stated previously, ALWAYS USE A THERMOWELL to house the sensing bulb of the thermostat at the final point of installation. Location of the thermostat sensing bulb is critical to control performance. For the best thermowell installation, see Fig. B. below. Tecmark optional thermowells can be installed via 1/2-14 NPT threads. Proper spa temperature maintenance can be achieved only if the following points are considered: 1) Thermowell is positioned before the heater to monitor only the spa water temperature. (See Fig. A) 2) Sensing bulb and cable are not exposed to damage or extreme temperature. (See Fig*B) 3) Proper water flow around the entire thermowell is insured. 4) Bulb is inserted all the way into the thermowell. (see Fig. C) D) THERMOSTAT SENSING BULB INSTALLATION Insert the temperature sensing bulb all the way into the thermowell. Tecmark optional thermowells are supplied with a split grommet. Pull the grommet open, slide it over the sensing cable and press the small end of the grommet into the thermowell. (See Fig. C) WARNING TEMPERATURE SENSING CABLE MUST BE INSTALLED SO THAT IT IS NOT EXPOSED TO ACCIDENTAL CUTS, DAMAGE, OR EXCESSIVE HEAT (80 C OR 176 F) OR HIGHER. E) CONNECT CORDSET AND AIR HOSES Plug the molded male plug of the Command Center into the female receptacle on the equipment pack cabinet. POWER SUPPLY MUST MATCH THE ELECTRICAL RATING ON THE COMMAND CENTER LABEL. Attach either 1/8 I.D. or 1/16 I.D. air hose to the air buttons on the Command Center and to the air switches in the equipment pack. NOTE: THE LENGTH OF AIR HOSE BETWEEN THE AIR BUTTONS AND AIR SWITCHES SHOULD BE LIMITED TO AN AMOUNT SUFFICIENT TO MAKE THE CONNECTION. ANY EXCESS LENGTH OF HOSE MAY RESULT IN POOR AIR TRANSMISSION. F) FACEPLATE LABEL Remove the backing from the faceplate label, handling the label by its edges. Install the label to the top surface of the Command Center and carefully align it. Firmly press around all edges of the label to secure it into place. CAUTION: When cleaning the faceplate label, use mild soap only. G) THERMOSTAT ADJUSTMENT KNOB Thermostat knob should only be installed after faceplate label is affixed to the Command Center. H) WIRING See Fig. D for the correct wiring, which corresponds with male plug of the Command Center. Figure C Figure D Figure A Figure B 14

17 Series SAFPAC The LectricAir SAFPAC controls are air actuated electrical switch systems that promote intrinsically safe control of electrical devices. The SAFPAC control system is comprised of three basic components: the plug-in the wall controller, the air transmitter, and an interconnecting air hose. The SAFPAC control is available with a single outlet or up to four female outlet receptacles. The SAFPAC controller can be used with a variety of Tecmark s pressure transmitter and tubing combinations. When the transmitter is depressed, air in the transmitter is displaced through rubber tubing to an air switch or air switched timer housed in the plug-in-the-wall controller box. The air switch completes or interrupts the electrical circuit, turning on or off the electrical device, which has been plugged into the controller s grounded receptacle. Tecmark s LectricAir SAFPAC control provides on/off switching for a large variety of electrical devices including scroll saws, dust collectors, drill presses, routers, pumps, lights, garbage disposers and more.
