✔ Instruction Manual

How the SeptiSense NEMA 4X Control Panel Works
The SeptiSense module mounts inside the NEMA 4X enclosure and connects to the included SludgeBoss float switch. When the float switch detects a high water condition, the onboard buzzer and LED activate to provide a local alarm, and the SeptiSense module sends remote notifications through the Level Sense app and Level-Sense.com.
The unit also monitors for power loss. Onboard supercapacitors provide approximately 15 minutes of backup power after AC power is lost, which allows the unit to send a distinct power loss alert before the system goes fully offline.
SeptiSense supports both Wi-Fi and cellular communication and can be configured to operate on cellular as the primary connection, Wi-Fi as the primary connection with cellular as automatic backup, or cellular only without any Wi-Fi required. The device hops between all major LTE carriers to find the strongest available signal, so remote and rural installations stay connected even when internet service is unavailable.
How to Configure the SeptiSense NEMA 4X Control Panel
The SeptiSense NEMA 4X Control Panel has one setup decision before installation.
Step 1: Connectivity and Subscription
SeptiSense includes both Wi-Fi and cellular radios and can be configured for the connection method that works best for your installation. Many customers run SeptiSense on cellular only with no Wi-Fi required.
Cellular Only
Operates exclusively on the cellular network without requiring Wi-Fi. This is a fully supported primary configuration and is the preferred setup for remote locations, outdoor installations, vacation properties, and any application where Wi-Fi is unavailable or unreliable. Requires an active $70.99 per year cellular subscription before the unit can come online.
Best for: remote or rural installations, locations without reliable Wi-Fi, and customers who want monitoring that is completely independent of their internet service.
Wi-Fi with Cellular Backup
Connects via your existing 2.4GHz Wi-Fi network as the primary communication method. If Wi-Fi is lost, the unit automatically switches to cellular to maintain monitoring continuity. The cellular subscription is $70.99 per year and includes all data and alert services. Email, SMS, push notifications, and the Level Sense app dashboard are all included with an active subscription.
Best for: installations where Wi-Fi is available and reliable but backup cellular coverage is wanted for power outages or internet interruptions.

Is This the Right Product?
Choose the SeptiSense NEMA 4X Control Panel if:
✔ You do not have an existing control panel and need a complete standalone monitoring unit
✔ Your existing panel does not have physical space or a 120V power source for the retrofit board
✔ You need a weatherproof outdoor rated enclosure included with the monitoring system
✔ You want a local audible and visual alarm combined with remote Wi-Fi and cellular notifications
✔ You want cellular only monitoring, or Wi-Fi with automatic cellular backup
✔ You are monitoring a septic system, grinder pump basin, lift station, or wastewater application
Do not choose the SeptiSense NEMA 4X Control Panel if:
✘ You already have an existing control panel with space and 120V power available. In that case the SeptiSense™ Module installs directly inside your existing panel at a lower cost.
Built for Contractors: Turn Monitoring into Recurring Revenue
The SeptiSense NEMA 4X Control Panel is designed to scale across your entire customer base. If you are a septic service contractor, plumber, lift station installer, or property manager overseeing multiple systems, SeptiSense gives you a single enterprise dashboard where every device you manage is visible in one place. You can monitor alarm status, review event history, and receive notifications across all your customer installations without logging into separate accounts. The enterprise dashboard is free for users managing multiple devices.
The subscription model is flexible. You can pay the $70.99 per year subscription per unit and build monitoring into your service offering as a recurring revenue stream, or you can have each customer activate and pay their own subscription while you retain dashboard visibility across all their systems.
Contractors who deploy SeptiSense NEMA 4X panels across their customer base are building predictable recurring revenue while adding a service that keeps them connected between site visits. A high water or power loss alert means you know about a problem before your customer does, which means faster response, fewer emergency calls, and stronger long term customer relationships.

Why Sump Alarm
Most monitoring solutions require you to already have a panel in place. The SeptiSense NEMA 4X Control Panel removes that dependency entirely. It arrives as a complete unit, mounts where you need it, and connects to your network in minutes. Whether you are monitoring a septic system on a rural property, a lift station without an existing panel, or a vacation home where no one is on site to hear a local alarm, SeptiSense keeps you connected through cellular, Wi-Fi, or both. Our products are assembled in the USA, backed by a 5-year warranty, and supported by a real team in St. Louis, Missouri.
