SILENT SENTRY

12 VOLT DC BATTERY BACKUP PUMP

1. Make sure there is a properly grounded 115V

receptacle available. Do not use primary pump circuit.

The location must be within 6' of the control box and

battery. The power supply for your DC control system

plugs directly into the 115V outlet. DO NOT USE AN

ExTENSION CORD.

2. Make sure the 115V electrical supply circuit is

equipped with fuses or circuit breakers of proper

capacity.

3. DC emergency pumps are designed for handling clear

water. Do not use in septic tanks to pump efuent or

sewage pits to pump sewage.

4. Repair and service of your DC backup system should

be performed by an authorized service station.

5. The installation of DC automatic backup pumps require

the use of a variable level oat switch for operation. It is

the responsibility of the installing party, to ensure that

the oat switch will not hang up on the pump apparatus

or pit peculiarities and is secured so the pump will turn

“on” and “off”. It is recommended that the pit be 18" in

diameter or larger to accommodate both a primary and

a DC backup pump.

CAUTION

SEE BELOW FOR LIST OF CAUTIONS

1. Testing for Ground. As a safety measure each

electrical outlet should be checked for ground using an

Underwriters Laboratory listed circuit analyzer, which

will indicate if the power, neutral and ground wires are

correctly connected to your outlet. If they are not, call

a qualied licensed electrician.

2. For your protection always disconnect the power

supply from its power source before handling the

components of your DC backup pump or the primary

pump.

3. Installation and checking of electrical circuits and

hardware should be performed by a qualied, licensed

electrician.

4. All electrical and safety codes must be followed in addition

to the National Electrical Code and all applicable local

codes.

5. It is the owner’s responsibility to check the battery

and battery connection at least every three

months. Batteries contain acid and caution must

be taken when handling.

6. Risk of electric shock - These pumps have not been

investigated for use in swimming pool areas.

7. According to the state of California (Prop 65), this product

contains chemicals known to the state of California to

cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive

harm.

INSTALLATION SB12DCC & FB12DCC IN AN 18" X 22" BASIN The models SB12DCC & FB12DCC can be installed in an 18" x 22" basin if the primary pump is not extremely large . 3SEL & 3SEHL pumps will work for this application. Below is a brief description of the assembly modification needed to accommodate a shorter basin. Two additional 90° elbows and two small sections of 1-1/2" PVC SCH 40 pipe are all that is needed. Dry fit a simple pipe loop as shown in the picture below.

CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS Whether you have a Silent Sentry ® Backup Pump System, or a competitive brand, all use batteries that give off gaseous byproducts when charging. Some of these byproducts can produce a rotten egg odor. Also, some of these byproducts can cause a CO detector to falsely activate. In order to help prevent false activation, we recommends moving the battery as far apart from the CO detector as possible or, if necessary, vent the battery to the exterior.
