3. Nastavitev in namestitev
3.1 Controller Unit Installation
The controller unit can be installed using two primary methods:
- Montaža na steno: Use screws to secure the controller to a wall or vertical surface. Ensure it is mounted in a dry location, away from direct water exposure.
- Adhesive Hook Mounting: For temporary or non-invasive installations, an adhesive hook can be used to hang the controller. Ensure the surface is clean and dry before applying the hook.

3.2 Namestitev senzorja
The dual electrode sensors are designed for adjustable water level detection. They can be positioned to detect water levels within a range of 0.5 inches to 20 inches.
- Pozicioniranje: Place the sensors in the water tank, sump pit, or reservoir where water level monitoring is required. The sensors should be vertically oriented.
- Nastavitev višine: The high (Hi) and low (Lo) sensors can be adjusted independently along their cables to set the desired activation and deactivation points for your pump. The distance between the two sensors determines the operational range.
- Securing Sensors: Use the provided suction cups or cable ties to secure the sensor cables and electrodes in place, preventing movement that could affect accuracy.

It shows how the individual sensors can be moved along a vertical rod to set precise high and low water detection points. An inset shows a close-up of a single sensor with its installation method.
3.3 Električna povezava
- Napajanje: Plug the controller's power cord into a standard 110V or 220V AC outlet.
- Priključek črpalke: Plug your sump pump or utility pump into the output receptacle on the Ortis controller. Ensure the pump's electrical rating does not exceed 2Hp/20A.

4. Navodila za uporabo
The Ortis controller offers intuitive operation with LED indicators and a mode selection button.
4.1 Izbira načina
The controller supports two main operational modes: Odtočni način in Water Mode (Fill). It also features three adjustable load running modes.
- Način odvajanja: Ideal for sump pits and sewage pits. The pump activates when water reaches the high sensor and deactivates when it drops below the low sensor, effectively draining the area.
- Water Mode (Fill): Suitable for water tanks or fish tanks. The pump activates when water drops below the low sensor and deactivates when it reaches the high sensor, replenishing the water.
- Load Running Modes: Refer to the detailed instructions in the included quick start guide for specific configurations of the three load running modes. These modes allow for fine-tuning of pump cycling behavior.
4.2 LED indikatorji
The front panel features several LED indicators to provide real-time status information:
- Drain LED: Illuminates when the controller is operating in Drain Mode.
- Water LED: Illuminates when the controller is operating in Water Mode (Fill).
- DisAlarm LED: Indicates a system alarm (e.g., pump failure, clog, abnormal discharge).
- AUTO/OFF/ON LEDs: Show the current operational state of the pump (Automatic, Off, or Manually On).
- Load LED: Illuminates when the connected pump is actively running.
