Before installing the controller please read all instructions carefully. Failures caused by incorrect
installation are not covered by the warranty.

The rainsmart
TM
unit involves connection to the mains water supply. It must therefore be installed by
a licensed plumber.
•
AS/NZ 3500.1.2.1998 requires that dual non-return valves be used to protect against cross connection
between mains water and tank water. Your local supply authority may have additional
requirements. Seek advice from your licensed plumber or local council.
•
Installation of the rainsmart
TM
controller should be in accordance with AS/NZ 3500.1 – Plumbing and
drainage water services.

This equipment is not suitable for use with flammable, corrosive and other materials of hazardous
nature.
•
Insects and vermin are attracted to electrical equipment. Ensure if the controller is susceptible to
vermin infestation you implement a suitable pest control plan.
•
The mains electrical connections and checks must be made by a qualified electrician and comply with
applicable local standards. The low voltage connections need not be carried out by a qualified
electrician, but should be done in compliance with applicable standards.

connected to the power point the pump will run constantly, shortening the life of the pump and
potentially running the pump dry.

RAINSMART AUSTRALIA Service Agent, or suitably qualified person.

We recommend using a residual current device RCD (also known as earth leakage breaker). Contact a
qualified electrician for more information.
NOTE: It is recommended that the Float Switch be tested prior to installation.
