The battery may have become discharged or reached the
end of its life. It is therefore recommended that the alarm
is tested before the pump is used, as follows.
1. Connect the pump to the mains power supply,
switch
ON
and allow it to run for 10-15 seconds.
2. Remove the mains power at the wall socket without
switching the pump off.
3. The power fail alarm should operate within 10
seconds, as follows:
• The red
Alarm
triangle will flash.
• The
POWER
indicator will flash.
• An audible warning will sound.
4. The alarm will continue until the mains power is
resumed or the pump is switched off using the
POWER
switch on the pump control panel.
5. If the alarm does not operate, run the pump for
approximately four hours to recharge the battery.
6. Retest the alarm after the battery has been
recharged. Allow the alarm to operate for
approximately two minutes to ensure that it has
been adequately recharged.
7. If the alarm does not operate for two minutes, call
the service engineer.
If the Power Fail Alarm does not operate after this test and a service
engineer has been called, the pump can continue to be used with regular
checks of the Power-On status.
All other alarms will continue to function as normal.
