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 ow on each side of the unit to verify equal
ow. If there is an obvious discrepancy in air ow between the two
sides, adjust the valves (1 and 3) so that the ow is equal.

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, oor 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
oat 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 oat to hang in the outlet bafe of the anaerobic chamber.
1. The oat switch should be tethered to one of the gray,
vertical pipes in the aeration chamber. When the oat 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 bafe.
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 oat 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 oat cord is not allowed to touch the
excess clamp band during operation as this may cause
damage to the cord.
6. The oat 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 1/2" (13 mm) bulkhead tting (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 ttings to facilitate
this connection.
8. Please be certain that the bulkhead tting 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.
