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 o-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.
WARNING
6 . 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.
