Introduction

The PHCC Pro Series 2400 A/C-D/C backup sump
pump  is  designed  as  an  emergency  backup
system to support your main AC sump pump, and
it will automatically begin pumping any time the
float switch is activated by rising water.  

If your main AC pump breaks or is unable to keep
up  with  all  the  incoming  water,  the  Pro  Series
pump is capable of running without discharging
the battery, as long as the AC power is on.  As
soon as the AC power is interrupted, the battery
takes over. Should any malfunction or emergency
occur that involves the sump pump, the battery,
or the AC power, the Pro Series system will sound
an  alarm.    A  light  on  the  display  panel  of  the
control unit will indicate the cause of the alarm
and the corrective action.

For  added  reliability,  the  float  switch  has,  not
one, but two floats mounted within a protective
cage.  Should one float fail to operate, the second
float  automatically  activates  the  pump.    The
protective  cage  prevents  debris  or  other  wires
from interfering with the movement of the floats.

To extend the battery run time, two batteries may
be  connected  to  the  Pro  Series  2400  system  by
purchasing  a  second  battery  and  acid  pack,  as
well  as  a  set  of  battery  jumper  cables.    Jumper
cables  specifically  designed  for  this  use  are
available from the manufacturer, Glentronics, Inc.

The Pro Series Sump Pump System includes:

• A  control  unit  with  a  dual  float  switch,  a

battery fluid level sensor, battery cables, a 5
amp AC fuse, and a 25 amp DC fuse

• A  metal  hose  clamp  for  mounting  the  float

switch

• A pump
• A battery box

You will also need to supply:

• A  Pro  Series  2200  Standby  Battery  or  a  Pro

Series Maintenance-Free Battery (B12-90)

DO  NOT 

use  an  automotive  battery  with  this

system

DO NOT

use a Pro Series 1000 battery with this

system.  It will not run the pump as long as the
Pro Series 2200 or B12-90 battery

The internal construction of some wet cell batteries
may  not  be  compatible  with  this  system.
Glentronics can not guarantee the compatibility of
other brands of batteries.  The use of a Pro Series
battery is HIGHLY recommended.

• 1½” rigid PVC pipe and fittings
• PVC primer and cement
• A union with hose clamps or a “Y” connector

and  two  (2)  check  valves,  depending  on  the
installation method you use

• A  1½”  PVC  pipe  adapter  (1½”  SLIP  x  1½”

MIPT)

• A surge protector (recommended)
• Six (6) quarts of 1.265 specific gravity battery

acid

For narrow sump pits you will need
some additional parts:

• An  “L”  bracket  at  least  six  (6)  inches  long

(preferably one that will not rust)

•  Two (2) stainless steel hose clamps
•  One (1) stainless steel screw (#8-32 x 3/4”),

a matching washer & nut 

To connect two batteries you will need:

•  Two (2) batteries of the same age, type and

capacity (so they will have equal power)

•  Another battery box 
•  Two (2) acid packs to fill the dry batteries

•  A  set  of  battery  cables  with  rings  on  both

ends  to  connect  the  two  batteries  together
(available from Glentronics, Inc.)

Use of a Pro Series
Klunkless Check
Valve™ will provide
quieter operation.
