ELEVATOR SUMP PUMP SYSTEM


The contractor shall furnish and install a Stancor Model SE-50-TV-RP complete pump
and Oil-Minder control system for each elevator pit, as shown on the drawings.  The
system shall be capable of pumping water automatically to the sewer and diverting oil
to a storage container and shall include the oil diverting TV option.  The Oil-Minder
System shall be capable of sensing oil floating on the top of the water, emulsified in
solution or solid oil and prevent the pump from discharging this oil into the sewer or
storm drain.  The pump and oil sensor technology control system must comply with
TDLR elevator rules and ASME A 17.1 Section 2.2.2.5 (2007) standard.  The system shall
function automatically to remove water and water with any other substance from the pit
automatically without any human intervention.  The control system shall provide a local
audible alarm with silence switch and individual dry contacts for warning of conditions
A, & B, (C) (D) (E) and panel mounted audible alarm with LED indicator lights for Power,
Oil Detected and High water level.  A) the presence of oil in the sump when the pump is
signaled to run, B) high liquid level in the sump, C) high amps or a locked rotor motor
condition, D) loss of electrical power to the panel, E) pump activation/pump run.  A dry
contact closure that makes only in the event of a high liquid level condition and/or oil
detected in the pit shall not be considered equal and will not be accepted.   Provide
individual dry contacts and wire to the BMS for remote monitoring of Oil Detected and
Diverted High Water Alarm. ( Pump Run ) (Loss of Power) (Locked Rotor)  The Oil
Monitoring Control System shall have a minimum of 15 years of proven reliability.

The sump pump shall be a Model SE-50, heavy duty submersible type, capable of
pumping water, water/oil and oil at a minimum capacity of 50 GPM @ 20’ TDH,   (3000
GPH )   as per ASME
A 17.1 Section 2.2.2.5 (2007). The pump shall be built and tested to meet UL 778
standards and shall include thermal overload protection.  The motor shall be air filled
and rated at ½ H.P.,
115 volt, 1 phase, 60 Hertz.  Oil filled motors are not considered equal.  The pump shall
be capable of operating with the water level covering only 50% of the motor casing and
shall operate automatically either continuously or intermittently, as required by the on-
off float switch control.  The pump shall have a size 2” minimum discharge connection.
The motor housing and fastening bolts shall be constructed of 304 Stainless Steel and
the mechanical seals shall be housed in a separate oil-filled compartment.  The pump
shall have a semi-open non-clogging Vortex impeller, and shall be designed for floor
mounting complete with support legs.

The Solid State Oil Minder control system shall be built and tested to meet UL508
standards and shall be housed in a gasketed NEMA 4X electrical enclosure with a
wiring terminal strip for field wiring to the J-Box in the hoistway.  The control panel shall
include a field adjustable switch with variable Oil sensitivity settings, for indicating oil
present, having an adjustable range of 1 to 10, factory set at #5 oil sensitivity and shall
be capable of sensing emulsified oil and diverting it to a storage container for
remediation.  The panel shall also include a separate over-current relay and field
adjustable motor overload having a range of 5 to 15 amps, factory set at 8 amps for this
pump application.  The control panel shall have a combination manual reset/push to
test switch for motor overload with both automatic, manual reset and control
diagnostics.  The control system must be factory set for automatic overload restart.  
The factory installed Oil Sensor probe detection system must be hermetically sealed,
heavy duty, Stainless Steel with low amperage self-cleaning technology.  The factory
mounted and adjusted oil sensor-level probe shall be set no higher than 4” from the
bottom of the pit.  The factory mounted main float switch will automatically start the
pump on a level increase in the sump pit fluid level.  When the water or fluid level drops
below the oil sensor probe tip the pump will automatically turn off.  The control panel
shall provide a one (1) second time delay after the liquid level drops below the oil
sensor probe tip, leaving about two inches of water in the pit.   At this point the oil
sensor probe voltage will drop from  5VDC  to 15 millivolts DC.    The oil sensor probe
voltage shall not exceed
15 millivolts DC until it comes in contact with water or any other fluid, at which point the
oil sensor returns to 5VDC.   The low 15 millivolt DC input shall reduce the potential field
and subsequent metal ion exchange, preventing build up of foreign matter on the probe
surface.  Oil sensing systems using floats, standard stainless steel probes or optical
lens, subject to dirt contamination, high maintenance and false alarms are not
considered equal.  If the main pump on float switch closes and the oil sensor measures
a higher resistance than its set point, the pump is to be automatically started and the oil
LED, audible alarm and remote alarm relay are to be energized.  The condition of oil
present will automatically close the sewer valve and open the oil diverting valve.  The
pump control float and oil sensing probe are to be factory mounted and positioned on
the pump and factory tested as a complete system.  Pipe discharge field mounted pump
on floats and field mounted oil sensors are not considered equal.   The control panel
shall have a high decibel warning horn with illuminated red light complete with alarm
silencing switch and separate dry contacts for each of the alarm events specified.  

The automatic electric control valves shall be a minimum size of 2” FPT, for this size
pump, having a brass body with a minimum CV of 328, 1/4 turn ball valve, chrome plated
brass ball with Teflon seats and adjustable packing, 400 psig, provide a NEMA 4X
factory mounted enclosure, fast acting, three seconds or less, 115 volt AC motor
actuator, output torque 300 in/lb with manual override, wiring terminal strip and valve
position indicator.  The sewer discharge valve is to be in the normally open position
and the oil diverting valve is to be in the normally closed position.  See piping detail on
the plans.  Each control valve shall have control wires that are to be connected to the
main control panel as per the manufacturers wiring diagram.
Install the electric control valves as shown on the plans.

The oil storage container shall have a capacity of 55 gallons as shown on the plans,
furnished complete with a removable plain top cover having no connections.  The
installing contractor shall field install all of the connections on the top drum cover with
pipe sizes as shown or required.  Furnish and install a drum high fluid level alarm panel,
NEMA 4 enclosure, 115/1/60 power, complete with weighted float switch with 20 feet of
cord and a cord grip for mounting to the drum top.  The cord shall be both water proof
and Oil Resistant.  The NEMA 4 alarm panel shall have a local audible and visual alarm,
85 DB, complete with silence switch and manual test button.  A set of dry alarm
contacts shall be provided and wired to the BMS for remote drum high level alarm
condition.  The storage container shall be mounted on a wheeled dolly for ease of
remediation.  

The Oil-Minder Control system shall be provided with option RP (Remediation
Provision) that consists of a deadman spring return Oil-Minder by-pass switch mounted
on the control panel.  This deadman switch will allow the control panel to be manually
overridden allowing the sump pump to pump oil out of the pit into the oil remediation
container.  See the drawings for piping details and normal operating valve positions.  
The normally closed oil diverter valve is to be installed in an easily accessible area, and
piped to the oil storage container. The piping shall have unions for easy removal of the
container for remediation.

The control system shall include dual float switches for automatic pump activation and
high water alarm.  The high water alarm float switch shall act as a redundant pump run
(on) float in the event the primary pump run float being incapacitated.  Provide a clearly
marked terminal board with the remote monitoring alarm contacts for connection to the
BMS.  Provide a test button to test the pump operation and provide a means to check all
of the alarm led lights, remote contacts and control diagnostic tests.
