1. Safety Information This safety alert symbol in your manual and on the pump is intended to alert you to a potential risk for injury or death. This is a safety alert symbol identifying risk of electric shock. It will be accompanied with an instruction intended to minimize your potential risk of electric shock. This is a safety alert symbol identifying risk of fire. It will be accompanied with an instruction intended to minimize your potential risk of fire.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK - continued During construction, if the pump is installed before its power cord can be plugged in or direct wired, the power cord must be protected from the environment to prevent water from wicking through the cord end into the pump housing. If water enters the pump an electrical short can occur from the pump to its surroundings, which will energize the surroundings. RISK OF FIRE DO NOT use an extension cord to power the product.
This pump and its floats have been evaluated for use with water only. Keep sump clear of debris. Debris can jam the pump and/ or its floats, resulting in flooding. DO NOT, use this pump as your primary sump pump. This pump should be placed on a separate, properly fused and grounded branch circuit, from the primary sump pump.
2-3 STORAGE BEFORE USE Only place the pump in a wet pit when it can be operated. Water can wick through the power cord into the pump causing an electrical short from the pump to its surroundings. 2-4 If it is necessary to store this backup pump system for a long period of time, it should be stored indoors in a clean, dry, temperature-stable environment. The pump, charger, and user interface should be covered for protection from dirt and water. All cable ends must be protected against moisture.
2-6 INSTALLATION TYPES If you have the ability to plumb a complete second discharge piping network for your new backup, this is the best possible installation, as it offers you an added backup solution in the event the primary pump discharge ever becomes blocked. To accomplish this, install a 90° street elbow (included) into the 442 (tightening to 15 in-lb) and plumb a second line. Two alternate methods of installing a 442 into existing primary pump piping are shown below.
3. Mechanical Installation Never work in a sump pit with energized pumps. Doing so is an electrical shock hazard, and can result in injury or death. Unplug all pumps, including primary pumps, prior to working on or installing this backup 1. 2. 3. Locate the level at which the primary pump activates by watching when the pump turns on and measuring or marking the level in the sump. Look at the supplied snap-on compact float and compare it to the image shown to the right.
4. Electrical Connection After installing the 442 battery backup pump and float, the StormCell® system setup is quite simple. Images of the user interface and charger are shown below, along with a charger LED indicator reference. 1. Mount the StormCell® charger Liberty PN’s (10 Amp - 1061000 or 25 Amp - 1066000) using the (2) supplied self tapping screws and, if required, the (2) supplied drywall anchors (3/16” hole required).
5. StormCell® Interface Functionality Indicates a low 9V battery. 9V battery should be replaced at least Pump run LED, illuminatyearly, or as required if this LED is ed when the 442 pump is illuminated. activated. Power Indication - indicates user interface has power (Illuminated by charger power through RJ45 communication cable) POWER Setup LEDs—only present on NightEye® models. LOW 9V BATTERY SETUP PUMP RUN If applicable, refer to NightEye® quick-start guide for more information.
6. Operation, Repair, and Troubleshooting 6-1 CHARGER AND PUMP OPERATION The 442 backup pump will activate when the sump water level is high enough to actuate the “Pump On” float switch. The 442 backup pump run time depends on the Amp-hour capacity of the battery, the battery charge level, whether or not the charger has AC power, and the required equivalent vertical pumping distance. Extended periods of operation (power outage, primary pump failure, etc.) may exhaust the battery.
Probable Symptom: Failed fuse, fuse LED illuminated, pump not running. Check: Check all wiring connections, replace pump control fuse if required. Also, verify that the pump has not jammed causing the fuse to fail. After fuse replacement, test pump to confirm the problem is fixed. Probable Symptom: Low battery alarm. Check: Check all wiring connections. If AC power is out and the battery is exhausted, it will charge upon return of AC power. If problem persists have the 12V battery tested.
7. 3 Year Limited Warranty Liberty Pumps, Inc. warrants that its products are free from all factory defects in material and workmanship for a period of 3 years from the date of purchase. The date of purchase shall be determined by a dated sales receipt noting the model and serial number of the pump. The dated sales receipt must accompany the returned pump if the date of return is more than 3 years from the "CODE" (date of manufacture) number noted on the pump nameplate.
