Charger/Controller Unit Operation
1. The upper left side of the face plate provides an approximation of the battery charge. In normal operation the charge will
typically show 25%, 50%, and 75% lights lit. When these are lit the system is indicating the approximate power available
to the pump. A maintenance charge to the battery is happening between “75% and Charged” which means the charger is
maintaining the maximum capacity the battery is capable of producing when “75% and Charged” indicators are lit.
2. The green “Charging” indicator is lit when the battery is charging. When the “Low Battery” indicator is lit the 12 VDC backup
pump will not function properly. A new fully charged 90AH deep cycle battery will allow the 12 VDC backup pump to operate
for about 1 day assuming that the pump has a cycle of 1 minute on and 4 minutes o. The time you have will depend upon
the age of the battery, the charge in the battery, and how often the 12 VDC pump must run. An older battery will provide less
time. The 115 VAC primary pump must be made operational in the time you have before the “Low Battery” light comes on.
For the battery to begin recharging, 12 VDC pump must not be drawing power from the battery. A fully discharged 90AH
battery requires approximately 9 hours to fully charge. Batteries must be re-charged soon after being discharged or possible
damage to the battery will occur.
3. The red “Power” indicator will come on when the 115 VAC plug is plugged into power and power is available. If no power is
available then the light does not light and the charger will not charge the battery.
4. The “Pump Run” indicator comes on when the switch that controls the battery backup pump rst activates. The indicator will
remain on until “RESET” button is pushed.
5. The “High Water” indicator comes on when the pump is actively trying to remove water from the sump. The switch for the 12
VDC pump is in the on position and providing power to the 12 VDC pump when lit. When switch is in o position the indicator
is o and no power is going to the pump.
6. The “Fuse” indicator is lit when the Fuse has failed. Replace with automotive type 32 V, 20A type ATC fuse, on the bottom of
the charger.
7. The “RESET” switch will reset the system if the switch is no longer activated. System will then check to verify everything
is normal and if so, system re-sets. If any problems such as switch still activated, this indicator will again be lit, the audible
alarm will sound and the battery status will be veried.
8. The “Test” button allows you to manually verify that pump operates without having to activate the switch. Press and hold the
button and you should hear the pump operating.
9. The “Silence” button turns o the audible alarm.
