1. Turn power to main pump off.

2. Pump must be instaled using 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" rigid PVC piping.

Pump Installation

• The back-up pump can be installed with a separate dedicated discharge line (Method 1). or tied into an existing sump pump line (Method 2).
• Unplug the existing AC pump. Failure

1. Verify that the existing AC pump is in good working order. If the AC pump is questionable. it is typically recommended that the unit be replaced with a 1/3 or 1/2 HP pump.

2. Remove any silt or accumulated debris from the sump pit and surrounding area.

Method 1 (Preferred)

•  Locate the back-up 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 in potential pump failure.
•  This pump has a 1 1/2" NPT discharge. If a 1 1/4" discharge pipe is desired. an adapter (not included) will be necessary. Smaller diameter piping will reduce pump flow. rate and performance.
• Cut a 4' section of 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" diameter rigid PVC pipe. Cement 1 1/4" pipe to a threaded fitting. Cement 1 1/4" pipe into pipe coupling. Attach 1 1/4" pipe section to the back-up pump discharge adapter.
• Screw on to pump discharge.

Be careful NOT to strip or cross

• Flex hose is NOT recommended. Rigid PVC or metal pipe is required for permanent installation.
• Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
• Place the pump with the 4' section of PVC pipe on a solid. level surface in the sump pit on an elevated surface.
• Attach a 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.

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 1.
• 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 path. Keep turns to a minimum because they reduce flow output of the pump.
• The pipe that exits the building structure should be sloped downward so that water will not freeze in the pipe.
• When installing the separate discharge pipe. drill through the outside wall with appropriate drilling equipment. Seal the hole to prevent water from entering.

Method 

If a separate. dedicated discharge is not possible as in Method 1. the back-up 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 back-up 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" NPT discharge. If a 1 1/4" discharge pipe is desired. an adapter (not included) will be necessary. Smaller piping will reduce pump flow. rate and performance.

3. A check valve will be required in the discharge line of BOTH the Main AC pump and the back-up pump to prevent recirculation of water into the sump pit.

System will not function without two check valves.

4. Cut a 4' section of 1 1/4" or 1 1/2" diameter rigid PVC pipe. Cement 1 1/4" pipe to a threaded fitting. Cement 1 1/4" pipe into pipe coupling. Attach 1 1/4" pipe section to the back-up pump discharge adapter.

5. Screw on to pump discharge.

• Be careful NOT to strip or cross
• Flex hose is NOT recommended. Rigid PVC or metal pipe is required for permanent installation.

6. Place the pump with the 4' section of PVC pipe on the sump floor or on an elevated surface if required.

7. Attach a 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.

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

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.

Float Switch

•  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.
•  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
• Risk of electrical shock! Use

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
• Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
• 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.
• 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
• Once a month. check the battery
• Unplug the transformer.
• For batteries with top caps that can be removed. the electrolyte level should be checked and filled to manufacturer'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:

1. An inexpensive hydrometer can be purchased at an automotive parts dealer.
2. Inspect the terminals and clamps for corrosion and tightness. Clean and tighten as required.
3. 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.
