Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
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”-12”
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 wire
ties 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. Attach control box to the side of
battery box as shown in Figure 3.
Place battery in box, attach red
cable to positive battery post and
black cable to negative post. Put lid
on box.
If cables are reversed, damage to the
control box or battery could result, and
warranty will be void.
2. Place battery box 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.
3. Plug the float switch, pump and
charger into the control box. The
connections are marked on the
control box.
4. Test pump operation by filling the
sump with water while the main
pump is unplugged. If the pump
operates properly, plug the charger
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,
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 electrical shock
could occur.
Risk of electrical shock!
Use a GFCI receptacle to
reduce the risk of fatal
electrical shock. Cutting
the cord or plug will void
the warranty and make
the pump inoperable.
1. After installation, the backup 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. This time delay feature will
allow the pump to run 20-25
seconds after the switch reaches the
off position.
3. The control box contains a multi-
colored indicator light. When AC
power is present, the light 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 charger. Risk of
electrical shock!
a. After main AC pump and
charger are unplugged, a power
off alert tone will sound for 30
seconds.
b. Lift and release the float switch
to activate the backup pump.
c. When the pump stops, read the
test light:
Green: Indicates battery is
charged.
Yellow: Voltage is low,
indicating battery is partially
charged.
Red: Battery is completely
discharged or defective.
d. Plug in charger and main AC
pump.
When AC power is out, and when
pump has been running, the light
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-second tone will
sound when power to the system is
interrupted. The unit will reset
automatically when power is
restored. A three-second tone will
sound every time the pump starts.
