this procedure. The pump is designed to run
dry, so if there is no water in the sump pit
during the test, the pump will not be
damaged.
3. If the control unit still indicates that the
pump is defective, replace the pump. The
procedure is described in the next column.
Your Pro Series 2200 has a 20-amp DC safety
fuse in the back of the cabinet to protect the
unit and the battery. If the fuse blows, the
pump alarm will sound to alert you to the
problem. Replace the 20-amp fuse. If it blows
again, unplug the computer control unit from
the wall and disconnect the battery cables
from the battery. Then call Glentronics’ service
department for instructions.
PUMP WAS ACTIVATED
When the water rises in the sump pit and lifts
the float switch, the pump will begin pumping,
and the “Pump was activated” light and alarm
will turn on. The pump warning stays on to alert
you to the fact that the standby system was used
to empty the water from the sump. Try to
determine what caused the system to activate.
• Check the main 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. It may need to be
replaced.
• Make sure the discharge pipe is not clogged or
frozen.
• If the power was out, and the backup pump
was activated, you need to push the GRAY
button to silence the alarm.
REPLACING THE PUMP
Unplug the main AC pump when installing 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 pump from the back of the control
unit.
2. Release the union or check valve and remove
the pump and the rigid PVC pipe section from
the sump pit.
3. Unscrew the pipe and fitting from the old
pump, and screw them into the new pump.
4. Lower the pump into the sump and reconnect
the union or check valve.
5. Plug the pump wires into the back of the
control panel.
BE SURE TO PLUG IN THE
MAIN AC PUMP.
BATTERY POWER LEVEL
Your Pro Series backup sump pump system has a
gauge which will report the level of charge in the
battery. As the battery’s energy is depleted
during operation without AC power, or simply by
aging, the gauge will indicate the percent of
charge remaining in the battery. Should the
percent drop below 25%, the “Battery problem”
indicator will light up and the alarm will sound.
If this warning goes on while the pump is
running, you will have a minimum of 1 hour to
replace the battery. (In most cases the pump
does not run continuously, and therefore, it will
run much longer.) In a severe emergency, if a
replacement battery is not available, you could
temporarily use your car battery.
Once the AC power is restored, the battery will
recharge, unless it is old or damaged. Press the
GRAY button for 1 second to reset the alarm.
