HC6000v2 Electronic Sump Pump Switch
Overview:
The HydroCheck HC6000v2 Electronic Sump Pump Float Switch with Hi-Lo Dual Sensors and Built-in Alarms is a universal
float switch that works with all types of sump pumps. The pump cycle will start when water reaches the Hi-Sensor (Red) and stop
when water drops below the Lo-Sensor (Black). Easily achieve your desired cycle length by adjusting the distance between the
sensors. See the Troubleshooting section for Smart Button, LED and Alarm specifications. Not rated for outdoor use.
READ PRIOR TO INSTALLATION:
1. The “piggyback plug” attached to the mechanical float switch cannot be used with the HC6000v2. It must be dis-
connected and remain disconnected.
2. If your sump pump has internal float switch wiring, i.e. does not have a “piggyback plug”, then you must secure
the float in an upward position as if the pit were full. This assures that the internal switch is always closed and that
the pump is enabled.
3. Pits that receive water from a water softener or that have high mineral/iron content require an alternative installa-
tion method. Use the HydroCheck Sensor Installation Kit to ensure maximum reliability in all installation ap-
plications. Visit our website www.hydrocheckproducts.com for more information.
Step-by-Step Installation
Unplug the sump pump from the back of the “piggy-
back plug”.
Unplug the “piggyback plug” from the 120 VAC and
set aside. The HC6000v2 completely replaces this
component.
Secure the red sensor (A) to the discharge pipe (B)
with tie wrap (C) where the pump is intended to turn
on.
NOTE: Recommended height for the Red Sensor is
slightly below the Drain Tile (Water Inlet Pipe).
Secure the black sensor (D) to the discharge pipe
(B) with tie wrap (C) where the pump is intended to
turn off.
Check that the red sensor (A) is positioned above
the black sensor (D).
Plug the control module (E) into a 3-prong 120 VAC
outlet.
NOTE: The output will turn on briefly and the LED will
illuminate red. If the Red Sensor detects water, a
pump cycle will begin.
Plug the sump pump power cord (F) into the con-
trol module (E).
NOTE: The HC6000v2’s output is rated for a maxi-
mum of 1 HP and/or 15 amps at 120 VAC.
TEST YOUR INSTALLATION BEFORE LEAVING IT
FOR UNATTENDED USE.
NOTE: This product will not work if tested in a cup
of water. See How the Sensor Works: Do I need a
ground wire? On Page 2 for more information.
