Description
The 12 Volt Advanced Notification System includes a DC back-
up sump pump, an electronic controller with digital display, and
an auto-dialer. Optimal back-up power is supplied by a 12 volt
battery (not included). The system is designed for home sump
applications. When an electrical power outage occurs, the
electronic controller automatically switches the sump pump to
battery power. Power loss will initiate a phone call via the auto-
dialer to the phone number(s) entered by the homeowner. With
a 24-hour monitor and a predetermined full system check, the
system tells you it’s status via a digital display and alerts you to
potential problems with an audible horn and phone call.

Battery Information
The system is designed to operate most efficiently with a
deep cycle, sealed lead (Pb) acid (SLA) battery. A deep cycle
marine battery can also be used. Sealed lead acid batteries cost
slightly more, but they can last longer than a wet cell battery and
are maintenance free. The oversize battery case (included) will
accomodate one 12 Volt battery up to a 27-frame size. Use a new
battery. Chart 1 illustrates the expected performance with various
battery combinations. Do not use batteries rated below 40 amp
hours. Be certain that the area around the battery is well ventilated.
Before servicing the battery, blow away gasses by waving a piece
of cardboard near the battery. An assistant should be present or
close enough to come to your aid in the event of an emergency.
Have a reliable source of fresh water and soap nearby in case
battery acid contacts clothing, skin or eyes. Wear eye and clothing
protection when working around lead acid batteries. Avoid touching
your eyes when working around lead acid batteries.
