Installation Sheet

4. Test pump operation by filling the sump with water
while the main pump is unplugged. If the pump
operates properly, plug the transformer into the GFCI
protected outlet to begin charging the battery.
5. Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces,
oil and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord and replace
damaged components immediately.
Operation
Always disconnect the power source
 beforeattemptingtoinstall,service,
relocate or maintain the pump. NEVER touch sump
pump motor, water or discharge piping when pump
is connected to electrical power. NEVER handle
a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when
standing on wet or damp surface or in water. Fatal
electric shock COULD occur.
 Riskofelectricalshock!UseaGFCI
receptacle to reduce the risk of fatal
electric shock. Cutting the cord WILL void the warranty and
makethepumpinoperable.
1. After installation, the back-up pump will start
when the water level rises above the depth that
the primary pump should start.
2. The control box has a DC charger designed to
shorten the recharging time of your battery, and to
prevent overcharging. In addition, the control box has
a time delay which keeps the pump from repeated,
short cycles when it shuts off. The time delay feature
will allow the pump to run 20-25 seconds after the
switch reaches the off position.
3. The control box contains multi-colored indicator
lights. When AC power is present, the lights will
indicate the charging state, and not reflect actual
battery voltage, particularly with a defective battery. In
order for the indicator light to provide an accurate
reading, steps "a" through "d" must be followed.
Unplug main AC pump and the
 transformer.Riskofelectricalshock!
a. After main pump and transformer are unplugged, a
power off alert tone will sound for 30 seconds.
b. Lift and release the oat switch to activate the back
up pump.
c. When the pump stops, read the charge indicator lights:
Green: Indicates the battery is fully charged.
Yellow: Indicates battery is partially charged, but still
operable.
Red: Battery is completely discharged or defective.
Red blinking: Battery discharged below level where
pumping can occur. Motor is locked out by controller
until battery is sufficiently charged to run pump.

d. Plug in transformer and main AC pump.
When main AC power is out, and when pump has been
running, the lights will indicate battery status.
4. A chirping sound from the control box will accompany
the red light, indicating that the battery may require
attention or replacement. Voltage is only an indicator
of battery condition and may not reflect the true
condition of the battery. See maintenance for
instruction on assessing battery condition.
5. A single thirty (30) second tone will sound when
power to the system is interrupted and the power
failure light will illuminate. The unit will reset and the
light will go out automatically when power is restored.
6. A three (3) second tone will sound every time the pump
starts.
Maintenance
Always disconnect the
 electricalsupplybeforeattemptingto
install, service or relocate or perform any maintenance. If the
power source is out of sight, lock and tag in the open (off)
positiontopreventunexpectedpowerapplication.Failure

electricians should repair this unit. Improper repair COULD
result in fatal electric shock.
 Onceamonth,checkthebattery 
 condition.Tocheckbatterycondition
followstepslistedbelow:
1. Unplug the transformer.
2. For batteries with top caps that can be
removed, the electrolyte level should be
checked and filled tomanufacturer's specifications. The charge
for each cell
should be checked with a hydrometer. A gravity of 1.265
indicates the battery is at full charge. If the
specific gravity of any of the cells varies more than
.050, the battery should be replaced.
NOTE: An inexpensive hydrometer can be purchased at an
automotive parts dealer.
3. Inspect the terminals and clamps for corrosion and
tightness. Clean and tighten as required.
4. Unplug the main pump and fill sump with water until
back-up pump turns on. Repeat process two times to
make sure pump is operating normally.
5. If pump operates normally, plug transformer into
wall outlet, turn on main pump. If pump fails to
operate normally, see Troubleshooting guide and
correct problem. Repeat step 5.
