Important Safety Warnings & Instructions SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important SAFETY WARNINGS and OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for the Pro Series combination 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 Pro Series Pair of Pumps combination system is designed to provide both primary and backup pumping capabilities. The primary pump will operate as long as it is receiving AC power. If the power is interrupted, or more water is coming into the sump than the AC pump can handle, the backup sump pump will begin pumping automatically. The backup system has unique monitoring features that diagnose a problem and sound an alarm.
Installing the Pipe and Pump The Pro Series Pair of Pumps combination system is compact and will fit in a sump pit as small as 12” wide. It measures 23¾” inches from the bottom of the pump stand to the top of the Yconnector where it will be attached to the discharge pipe. 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.
Battery Instructions A new Pro Series B-2200 Standby Battery will run this system for a minimum of 8 hours. To increase the running time of this system to 16 hours of continuous pumping, two batteries can be connected together. Ideally the batteries should be of similar age and capacity. Connecting an old and new battery together will not charge properly. Specific connection instructions will be explained on page 6.
It is important to have all the cells filled equally or the battery will not operate properly. The acid should reach a level about ¼” below the cap ring as shown in Diagram B on the previous page. DO NOT OVERFILL THE BATTERY. 1. Place the battery box on the floor. Place the dry (unfilled) battery into the battery box. A newly filled battery will sometimes require additional acid after about 20 minutes. Reexamine the fill level, and add additional acid if necessary.
2. Installing the battery fluid sensor: Remove the cover of the battery box by pushing in the tabs on the front and back, then lifting up. Fan the area around the top of the battery with a piece of cardboard (or another nonmetallic material) to remove any hydrogen or oxygen gas that may have been emitted from the battery. 3. If you are using BATTERY A, replace the battery cap that is 2nd from the POSITIVE (+) post with the battery cap that is provided in the Pro Series package.
down. It will fill the battery cell to the correct level and stop automatically. If distilled water is not available, tap water with a low mineral content may be used. Well water is not recommended.

Water will lift the bottom float by ¼”, which will activate the pump.
which battery you own. Be sure the fluid sensor is positioned in the second cell from the positive post. The hole is marked with an arrow. Replace the battery cables…the WHITE wire to the NEGATIVE (-) post, and the BLACK wire to the POSITIVE (+) post. Replace the wing nuts and tighten. 7. Replace the cover of the battery box. 8. Plug the controller back into the outlet. (You should provide additional protection for the control unit by using a surge protector.
6. Clean any corrosion off of the ring connectors on the ends of the battery wires. Use a stiff brush or sandpaper. DO NOT apply corrosion resisting sprays or pads to the terminal rings or posts after you have cleaned them, since this could prevent the battery from charging properly. brush or sandpaper. DO NOT apply corrosion resisting sprays or pads to the terminal rings or posts after you have cleaned them, since this could prevent the battery from charging properly. 7.

REPLACING THE BACKUP PUMP Before you begin this process, you will need a new backup pump, new check valves, and new wire ties. The check valves have a 1½” MPT on one end, and a 1½” SLIP on the other end. See page 15 for part numbers. 1 6.
18. Ease the Y-assembly back into the rubber union on the discharge pipe and tighten the hose clamps. 19. Connect the backup pump to the back of the gray control unit. 20. Insert the fluid sensor into the top of the battery, or into the battery cap, depending on which battery you own. 21. Connect the battery wires to the battery terminals, WHITE to the NEGATIVE (-) post, and BLACK to the POSITIVE (+) post. 22. Plug the power cord from the gray control unit into the outlet.
need to thread the old screws through the foot, the strainer and into the pump. 17. Connect the backup pump to the back of the gray control unit 12. Line up the discharge pipes parallel to each other and start with the top screw. Once the top screw is replaced, the other screws will line up with the holes. Tighten all the screws. 18. Insert the fluid sensor into the top of the battery, or into the battery cap, depending on which battery you own. 13.
pump. This is normal. The hole is needed to prevent an air lock within the system. DO NOT obstruct this hole or an air lock may prevent the pump from activating, and the basement will flood.
