CAUTION
Reduction of plumbing sizes from what is used for the discharges of the primary 115 VAC pump and 12
VDC pump can result in system underperformance. Discharge piping that is of insucient size can result in premature pump and/
or system operation failure.
Step 1 Step 2 Step 3 Step 4 Step 5 Step 6
s
!
NOTICE: Do not glue any parts until the entire assembly, including primary pump, has been dry-assembled to verify ts.
Fitting plumbing and routing wiring away from control oats will be much easier on a bench rather than working down inside
a sump pit. (Fig. 2)
Step 1
a. Install exible coupling onto 12 VDC pump discharge.
b. Position two hose clamps in the grooved recesses of exible coupling installed on the 12 VDC pump.
c. Tighten the exible coupling’s rst hose clamp connection to securely fasten it to the 12 VDC pump discharge.
d. Leave the hose clamp on the opposite end loose for the next plumbing piece.
Step 2
a. A 3/16" diameter air bleed hole has been drilled in the 90º street elbow that is provided with the kit. (NOTICE: Air
bleed hole must be located between the check valve and the 12 VDC pump to prevent the 12 VDC pump from air-locking.)
The bleed hole is located so that the water ow through it will be at a downward angle to prevent splashing from the basin/pit.
b. Slip 90º street elbow into the exible coupling attached to the 12 VDC pump discharge, and tighten the hose clamp to
secure elbow to the 12 VDC pump’s discharge. (When properly installed the threaded elbow connection of the 90º street
elbow should be facing straight up toward the top of the sump pit).
Step 3
s
!
NOTICE: A check valve is supplied and required for the backup pump’s discharge plumbing. This check valve must be installed
in the discharge plumbing between the backup pump and the wye connection joining the backup pump’s discharge to that of
the primary pump’s discharge.
a. Apply PTFE tape to male threads of provided check valve.
b. Thread PTFE taped end of check valve into 90° elbow.
Step 4
a. Position two hose clamps in the grooved recesses of the exible coupling on the check valve installed in the elbow.
b. Tighten the lower hose clamp to secure the exible coupling to the check valve body.
c. Loosely tighten the upper hose clamp so it does not fall o. This clamp will be used to secure the check valve to the
discharge pipe “wye” assembly.
Step 5
a. Review the discharge plumbing of the 115 VAC primary pump.
s
!
NOTICE: A customer-supplied check valve is required in the discharge plumbing of the 115 VAC primary sump pump.
This check valve must be installed in the discharge plumbing between the primary pump and the wye connection joining the
backup pump’s discharge to that of the primary pump’s discharge. A 3/16" diameter air bleed hole must be located between
the check valve and the 115 VAC pump to prevent the 115 VAC pump from air-locking. Locate the bleed hole so that the water
ow through it will be at a downward angle to prevent splashing from the basin/pit.
b. The 1-1/2" PVC pipe used in making the discharge pipe “wye” assembly must be cut so as to ensure that both the 115 VAC
primary pump and the 12 VDC backup pump rest at on the oor of the sump basin when the plumbing is completely
assembled and to align connection to the drain piping from the home. Dry-t the assembly to conrm prior to gluing
(see Figure 1).
c. Once dry-t conrms that both pumps rest at on the sump basin oor and the wye Assembly piping aligns with drain piping
from the home, secure all connections by applying approved waterproof adhesive to all necessary joints and conrm that all
exible coupling hose clamps are fully engaged with plumbing and fully tightened.

NOTICE: RS-12 switch cord contains a breather tube. Be sure switch cord is not pinched so that breather tube is obstructed.
Non-restrictive air ow in breather tube is required for proper RS-12 operation.
s
!
NOTICE: For proper pump operation the exit point of all drain piping from the home must be lower, or sloping away, from the
discharge plumbing’s highest point. Improper water drainage can allow freezing within the line leading to system or component
damage or failure.
s WARNING
!
CAUTION
Ensure all hose clamp connections and threaded connections are tight, and that all plumbing slip t
connections are properly glued prior to starting the sump pump system. Failure to do so can result in damage to pump system
and/or cause property damage due to ooding.

Charger/Controller Unit Operation
1. The upper left side of the face plate provides an approximation of the battery charge. In normal operation the charge will
typically show 25%, 50%, and 75% lights lit. When these are lit the system is indicating the approximate power available
to the pump. A maintenance charge to the battery is happening between “75% and Charged” which means the charger is
maintaining the maximum capacity the battery is capable of producing when “75% and Charged” indicators are lit.
2. The green “Charging” indicator is lit when the battery is charging. When the “Low Battery” indicator is lit the 12 VDC backup
pump will not function properly. A new fully charged 90AH deep cycle battery will allow the 12 VDC backup pump to operate
for about 1 day assuming that the pump has a cycle of 1 minute on and 4 minutes o. The time you have will depend upon
the age of the battery, the charge in the battery, and how often the 12 VDC pump must run. An older battery will provide less
time. The 115 VAC primary pump must be made operational in the time you have before the “Low Battery” light comes on.
For the battery to begin recharging, 12 VDC pump must not be drawing power from the battery. A fully discharged 90AH
battery requires approximately 9 hours to fully charge. Batteries must be re-charged soon after being discharged or possible
damage to the battery will occur.
3. The red “Power” indicator will come on when the 115 VAC plug is plugged into power and power is available. If no power is
available then the light does not light and the charger will not charge the battery.
4. The “Pump Run” indicator comes on when the switch that controls the battery backup pump rst activates. The indicator will
remain on until “RESET” button is pushed.
5. The “High Water” indicator comes on when the pump is actively trying to remove water from the sump. The switch for the 12
VDC pump is in the on position and providing power to the 12 VDC pump when lit. When switch is in o position the indicator
is o and no power is going to the pump.
6. The “Fuse” indicator is lit when the Fuse has failed. Replace with automotive type 32 V, 20A type ATC fuse, on the bottom of
the charger.
7. The “RESET” switch will reset the system if the switch is no longer activated. System will then check to verify everything
is normal and if so, system re-sets. If any problems such as switch still activated, this indicator will again be lit, the audible
alarm will sound and the battery status will be veried.
8. The “Test” button allows you to manually verify that pump operates without having to activate the switch. Press and hold the
button and you should hear the pump operating.
