Product Manual

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 non-
metallic 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. An arrow on the top of the
battery marks this position. There are two
holes in the battery cap. Insert the fluid
sensor in the hole that is off-center on the top
of the cap. Do not glue the sensor into the cap.
4. If you have BATTERY B, a hole has been
molded into the top of the battery to accept
the fluid sensor rod. The sensor hole is
marked by the label on top of the battery.
Hold the sensor straight and press it firmly
into the hole all the way up to the connector.
Do not bend the sensor rod.
5. If you are using two batteries on the system,
the fluid sensor should be placed in the battery
directly connected to the controller.

. If you are not using the Pro Series Standby
battery, you cannot use the battery fluid
sensor. However, you must attach the sensor
to the POSITIVE (+) post of the battery or
the alarm will sound continuously. The Pro
Series sump pump system will not warn you
if the fluid level is low in this configuration.
You will need to check your battery every
couple of months to see if it needs water. If
the battery dries out, the system will not
work. If you are using a maintenance-free
battery, you cannot add fluid to the battery.
The sensor must be attached to the POSITIVE
(+) post of the maintenance-free battery to
disconnect the fluid alarm. Slide the switch
on the front of the controller to the type of
battery used with the system (maintenance
free or non maintenance free battery)
7. Connecting the battery: Remove the wing
nuts from the battery terminals. Remove the
security tag from the battery cables. Attach
the battery cables to the battery…the WHITE
wire to the NEGATIVE (-) post, and the BLACK
wire to the POSITIVE (+) post. Replace the
wing nuts and tighten them. Slide the switch
on the front of the controller panel to the type
of battery being used with the system.
8. If you are connecting two batteries to the
system, before you replace the wing nuts,
connect the additional cable to the two
batteries….the BLACK wires to the POSITIVE
(+) posts and the WHITE wires to the
NEGATIVE (-) posts of each battery. NEVER
attach one end of the positive wire to the
positive post and the other end of the
positive wire to the negative post on the
other battery.
9.
Immediately plug the AC power cord from the
backup control unit into a grounded AC wall
outlet. (A surge protector that protects all
three pins on the power plug is recommended -
backup system only.) You will have 10 seconds
before the “Power failure” alarm will sound.
The alarm will be silenced once the unit is
plugged into the wall.
10. If any of the alarms are sounding, press the
RED button on the front of the control panel
for one (1) second.
11. Secure the cover on the battery box by
slipping the tabs through the fittings on the
front and back of the box.
12.
Connecting the primary pump: Connecting
the primary pump: Mount the controller to
the wall through the 2 holes on the cabinet
using proper mounting hardware for the
application. The controller should be
mounted at least 4’ from the floor and 1’ from
the outlet. Plug the controller into a properly
grounded 3-prong outlet. Then plug the
primary pump into the receptacle on the
controller. Using a flathead screwdriver,
adjust the dial on the front of the controller
to select the number of seconds that the
primary pump will run after the float drops.
The dial can be adjusted from 5-45 seconds.
The manufacturer default is about 10 seconds.
13. For a neater installation, secure the cables
from the controllers to the discharge pipe in
a couple places with additional cable ties.
Make sure the wires are not touching each
other or overlapping each other.
14.
After the initial installation, be sure to check
the pump operation by filling the sump with
water and observing the pump through
several full cycles. The primary pump should
run for 10 seconds after the lower float drops.
15. A pit cover is recommended for all
installations as a safety measure, and to
prevent debris from falling into the pit.
Place the cover on top of the pit making sure
not to pinch or crimp the pump wires with
the cover. The pit cover usually has an
existing hole that will allow the cords to be
passed through it, or you can drill a hole in
the cover.
