5. Remove battery caps.
6. Add distilled water to the battery filler bottle
and replace the nozzle. Place the battery filler
into each cell of the battery and press down.
It will fill the battery cell to the correct level
and stop automatically. If distilled water is
not available, tap water with a low mineral
content may be used. Well water is not
recommended.
NEVER ADD MORE ACID.
7. Replace the battery caps. Replace the fluid
sensor in the hole on the top of the battery or
in the yellow cap, depending on which battery
you own. Be sure the fluid sensor is positioned
in the second cell from the positive post. The
hole is market with an arrow. Replace the
battery cables…the BLACK wire to the NEGATIVE
(-) post, and the RED wire to the POSITIVE (+)
post. Replace the wing nuts and tighten.
8. Replace the cover on the battery box.
9. Plug the charger back into the outlet. (You
should provide additional protection for the
control unit by using a surge protector.)
10. If any of the alarms are sounding, press the
GRAY button on the front of the control
panel for one (1) second.

The pump was activated
When the water rises in the sump pit and
activates the float switch, the pump will begin
pumping, and the “Pump was activated” light
and alarm will turn on. Try to determine what
caused the system to activate.
• Check the main AC pump for failure. It may
not be working, the float switch may be stuck,
or it may be too small to handle the inflow of
water.
• Make sure the check valve is working and
installed correctly
• Make sure the discharge pipe is not clogged or
frozen
• If the power was out, the backup pump was
automatically activated. You need to push the
GRAY button on the front of the control panel
to silence the alarm.
REPLACING THE PUMP
Unplug the main AC pump when installing or
servicing the backup pump to avoid electric
shock. Failure to do so could cause serious
injury or death. Review the safety
instructions on page 1.
REFER TO PHOTOS AT RIGHT
1. Unplug the charger from the wall outlet.
2. Remove the cover of the battery box by
pushing in the tabs on the front and back,
then lifting up.
3. Fan the area around the top of the battery
with a piece of cardboard (or another non-
metallic material) to remove any hydrogen or
oxygen gas that may have been emitted from
the battery.
4. Remove the fluid sensor and the battery
cables from the battery.
5. Unplug the pump from the back of the control
unit.
6. Release the union or check valve and remove
the pump and the rigid PVC pipe section from
the sump pit.
7. Unscrew the pipe and adapter from the old
pump, and screw them into the new pump.
8. Lower the pump into the sump and reconnect
the union or check valve.
9. Plug the pump wires into the back of the
control unit.
10. Replace the fluid sensor in the battery.
Connect the battery cables to the
battery…the BLACK wire to the NEGATIVE
(-) post, and then the RED wire to the
POSITIVE (+) post. Tighten the wing nuts.
11. Replace the cover on the battery box.
12. Plug the charger and the main AC pump back
into the wall outlet. (You should provide
additional protection for the control unit by
using a surge protector.)
13. If any alarms are sounding, press the GRAY
button on the front of the control panel for
one (1) second to silence them.

The unit is not receiving AC power
There are several causes for power failure. The
most common is a power outage by your electric
company. During this emergency, the Pro Series
system will automatically switch to battery
power and protect your basement from flooding.
For your convenience, the “AC power failure” alarm
has a built-in memory that will notify you when a
power outage has occurred, and the power has
since been restored. The alarm will turn off when
the power is restored, but the “AC power failure”
light will flash (like your clocks). The flashing light
will continue until the GRAY button on the front of
the control panel is pressed for one (1) second.
You can silence the “AC power failure” alarm for
24 hours by pressing the GRAY button on the
front of the control panel for five (5) seconds.
The alarm will be silence, but the light will stay
on. The system will continue to operate while
the power alarm is silenced. After 24 hours, the
alarm will reset automatically.
1. If the power is on in the rest of the house,
check the home circuit breaker or fuse box for
failure, and correct the problem.
2. Check the charger. Make sure it is securely
plugged into the wall outlet. Check the outlet
to make sure it is working.
3. Check the charger plug that fits into the rear
panel of the control unit. Make sure it is
securely plugged into the control unit.
The control unit must receive 115 volts AC +/-
5% from the AC outlet. Any voltage lower than
110 volts will activate the power failure alarm.
Lower voltages can be caused by utility company
brown outs or a heavy power draw from other
