Important Safety Warnings & Instructions SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important SAFETY WARNINGS and OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for the PHCC Pro Series 2400 battery backup sump pump system. You will need to refer to it before attempting any installation or maintenance. ALWAYS keep these instructions with the unit so that they will be easily accessible. Failure to read and follow these warnings and instructions could result in property damage, serious injury, or death.

Introduction The PHCC Pro Series 2400 A/C-D/C backup sump pump is designed as an emergency backup system to support your main AC sump pump, and it will automatically begin pumping any time the float switch is activated by rising water. If your main AC pump breaks or is unable to keep up with all the incoming water, the Pro Series pump is capable of running without discharging the battery, as long as the AC power is on. As soon as the AC power is interrupted, the battery takes over.

Pump & Pipe Installation Instructions NORMAL SUMP PIT INSTALLATIONS Use a pit that conforms to all local codes, and check the code to see if a gate valve or ball valve if is required. Whenever possible, install your Pro Series backup pump with a direct discharge to the outdoors. By using this method, there will always be an outlet for the water from the sump. During times of very heavy rain, many storm sewers fill up.

Pump & Pipe Installation Instructions INSTALLATION A: DIRECT DISCHARGE TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING (Diagram A) ! DANGER Unplug the main AC pump when installing the backup pump to avoid electric shock. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death. 1. Cut a piece of 1½” rigid PVC pipe long enough to reach from the bottom of the sump pit to one (1) foot above the floor. Prime and cement it to a 1½” pipe adapter, then screw the adapter into the pump. 2.

Pump & Pipe Installation Instructions INSTALLATION B: CONNECTION TO AN EXISTING DISCHARGE PIPE (Diagram B) Depending on your installation requirements, PVC pipe lengths will vary. Cut the pipes and assemble them as shown in photo #7. Do not cement them together until you are sure they are cut to the correct lengths. It is important to keep the discharge pipes on both pumps parallel to each other, so that the pumps remain flat on the floor of the sump. More detailed instructions follow.

Pump & Pipe Installation Instructions INSTALLATION C: DIRECT DISCHARGE TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING FOR NARROW SUMP PITS (Diagram C) ! DANGER Unplug the main AC pump when installing the backup pump to avoid electric shock. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death. 1. Attach an “L” bracket to the discharge pipe of the main AC pump with two (2) stainless steel hose clamps.

Pump & Pipe Installation Instructions INSTALLATION D: CONNECTION TO EXISTING DISCHARGE PIPE FOR NARROW SUMP PITS (Diagram D) Depending on your installation requirements, PVC pipe lengths will vary. Cut the pipes and assemble them as shown in photo #8. Do not cement them together until you are sure they are cut to the correct lengths. It is important to keep the discharge pipes on both pumps parallel to each other, so that the pumps remain flat on the floor of the sump. More detailed instructions follow.

Battery Instructions This system will accommodate both Pro Series B2200 wet cell as well as the B12-90 and B12-100 maintenance free batteries. To double the runtime of the backup system, two of the same model batteries can be connected together. Ideally the batteries should be of similar age. Connecting an old and new battery together will not charge properly. Specific connection instructions will be explained on page 10. CAUTION • The use of automotive batteries is NOT recommended.
