Installing Post

Installation

STEP 1: INSTALL POST

Determine the location for the post in the ground near a tank.

Drill access holes for the oat switch cables using the customer

supplied conduit/ttings or Alderon’s riser connection kit (refer

to step 2 below).

Note: Seal all conduits to prevent moisture and gases from

entering the post per local codes.

DISCONNECT ALL POWER SOURCES WHEN INSTALLING OR SERVICING THIS PRODUCT. FAILURE TO

TURN OFF ALL POWER SOURCES COULD RESULT IN SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.

STEP 2: INSTALLING AN ALDERON RISER CONNECTION KIT

1. Determine location for access hole on the post. Drill access hole for the correct size terminal adapter (2.0" or 2.5" depending

on model / #2). Insert terminal adapter into access hole. On the inside of the post, use the lock nut (#1) to secure the terminal

adapter in place (use PVC cement to ensure proper bonding between the terminal adapter and post per local codes).

2. Insert PVC pipe (conduit / #3) into terminal adapter using appropriate cement for bonding.

3. Determine location on the riser to insert the conduit (2.0" or 2.5" depending on model). If your riser does not have a

pre-drilled hole for the conduit, you must drill a hole in the riser to accept the conduit. Insert conduit through the riser hole,

which is now attached with the post. Seal conduit to riser hole with silicone or per local codes.

4. Run the pump power, pump oat switch, and alarm oat switch cables through the PVC coupler (#5). Then continue through

the conduit and to the appropriate height inside the post for wiring. Take the 3-hole rubber grommet (#4) which has slits

next to the holes and insert cables, then insert the rubber grommet into the conduit.

5. Place the PVC coupler over the end of the conduit.

General Operation

The Mini Power Post™ serves as a junction box for easy wire access. The junction box allows for easy connection of pump

power, pump oat switch, and high level alarm oat switch which is connected to the remote alarm panel. The junction box can

be used for a wide variety of applications. The applications are not limited to what is listed in this user guide. Follow all individual

instructions for oat switches and accessories used with the Mini Power Post™.

The following applications can be found in this user guide: Septic Tank Monitoring and Alarm Auxiliary with Auto Dialer.

Septic Tank Monitoring

The diagram below displays the typical setup for septic tank monitoring. The setup includes: Mini Power Post™, Versa’larm™

indoor alarm, alarm oat switch, and pump oat switch. The Mini Power Post™ is installed into the ground and attached to

the septic tank riser. The pump oat switch is only wired to the pump power line. When the pump oat switch is actuated, the

pump will turn on and turn back off when the pump oat switch is deactivated. The alarm oat switch is wired through the post

and extends to the remote alarm in the house. When the alarm oat switch is actuated, the Versa’larm™ alarm indicator will

illuminate and the buzzer will annunciate. The alarm condition will stay on until the alarm oat switch is deactivated. If the alarm

silence pushbutton of the Versa’larm™ is pressed during an alarm condition, then the alarm indicator will remain on and the

buzzer will silence. The indoor alarm will reset when the alarm oat switch connected to the Mini Power Post™ deactivates. The

Versa’larm™ in the house provides a local audible and visual alarm indication in a convenient indoor location.
