INSTALLATION CONT'D
Method 2
If a separate, dedicated discharge is not possible as in Method
1, the backup pump can be tied into the AC operated pump's
discharge pipe by installing a "Y" connector. Two check valves will
be required.
1. Locate the backup pump on a solid, level surface in
the sump pit. Do not place the pump on a loose or
sandy surface. Small stones or sand may damage the
pump resulting on potential pump failure.
2. This pump has a 1-1/2 in. NPT discharge. If a 1-1/4 in.
discharge pipe is desired, an adapter (not included) will
be necessary. Smaller piping will reduce pump flow,
rate and performance.
3. A check valve is required in the discharge line
of BOTH the Main AC pump and the backup pump to
prevent recirculation of water into the sump pit.
4. Cut a 4 ft. section of 1-1/2 in. or 1-1/4 in. diameter rigid PVC
pipe. Cement pipe to a threaded fitting. Cement pipe into pipe
coupling. Attach pipe section to the back-up pump discharge
adapter.
5. Screw on to pump discharge.
Be careful NOT to strip or cross thread plastic
fittings or check valves. Flex hose is prohibited. Rigid PVC or metal pipe
is required for permanent installation.
6. Place the pump with the 4 ft. section of PVC pipe on the
sump floor or on an elevated surface if required.
7. Attach the required rubber check valve (sold separately) to the
top of the discharge pipe. This will allow the pump or check
valve to be removed easily for servicing.
8. Duplicate the discharge piping arrangement for the
primary AC pump if the discharge line has to be
adjusted to accomodate a second pump.
9. Glue a 45º elbow to the short pipe on the back-up
pump. Glue a "Y" adapter to the short pipe on the
existing pump, as shown in illustration for Method 2.
10. Glue a short piece of PVC pipe between the 45º elbow
and the "Y".
NOTE: Check valves can be placed directly in the pump
discharge if desired. However, for ease of disassembly, it is
recommended that check valves be placed above the sump as
shown in Figure 2.
The remainder of the discharge pipe installation will vary depending
on individual circumstances. Using sound plumbing practices, route
the discharge pipe to an exterior wall by the shortest distance.
Methods 1 and 2
Install float switch at least 10 in.-12 in. above bottom of sump pit
so that backup unit turns on only when the water level is higher
than the normal "on" level for main pump. Use the hose clamp
provided to secure the switch to the discharge pipe. Make sure
power wires do not interfere with float switch, pump inlet, or main
pump operation. Backup pump must not be allowed to run dry.
Control Box Installation
1. Place battery in box, attach red cable to positive battery
post and black cable to negative battery post.
if cables are reversed, damage to the control box
or battery will result, and void warranty .
MISE EN GARDE
Si les câbles sont inversés, la boîte de
contrôle ou la batterie pourrait être endommagée et la garantie annulée.
2. Plug the float switch, pump and transformer into the
appropriate connectors. The connections are all unique and
cannot be interchanged.
3. Put lid on box, and place the battery within six feet of the
sump and a 115 VAC separately fused outlet. The outlet
must be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
The area must also be clean, dry and well ventilated.
Do not allow battery box to get wet, or expose it
to moisture. Electronics will be damaged and void warranty.
MISE EN GARDE
Ne pas laisser le coffre de la batterie être
mouillé ou exposé à l’humidité. Les appareils électroniques seront
endommagés et la garantie sera annulée.
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 charg
ing the battery.
5. Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil and
chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord. DO NOT USE PUMP WITH
DAMAGED CORD.
