PHONE LINE INSTALLATION
PHONE SYSTEM INFORMATION
Sharing the phone jack:
The 12 Volt Advanced Notification System and your existing
phone/fax can share the same wall jack. A standard phone
jack splitter also known as a line splitter (not provided) can be
purchased at your local hardware store. Install as shown in
Figure 5. The splitter allows independent operation of both units
without interference.
PHONE SERVICE AND POWER OUTAGES
The 12 Volt Advanced Notification System is designed and
certified by the FCC to operate on a standard telephone line and
connects to a standard phone jack. The System dials out using
touch tone dialing only. Must have an active phone line that is
detectable by the 12 Volt Advanced Notification System.
The 12 Volt Advanced Notification System does work with
DSL, Cable, or Digital phone services with the appropriate
in-line filters. If the modem doesn’t produce a “dial tone” it
will not be able to place a phone call. If the 12 Volt Advanced
Notification System is unable to place a call while using one of
these services, please contact your phone service provider for
assistance.
PHONE NUMBER ENTRY AND STORAGE
The 12 Volt Advanced Notification System uses an onboard
auto-dialer and microprocessor to place pre-recorded phone
calls regarding the status of your back-up system. The System
is capable of notifying up to three phone numbers (60 digits
each) of your choice. The System stores each of your phone
numbers locally and will not lose or erase your phone numbers
due to a power outage or battery dying. Before you start
entering phone numbers, DO NOT enter phone numbers of
emergency services (fire, police, or ambulance).
CELL PHONES:
The 12 Volt Advanced Notification System will
call all phones that a basic telephone will connect with. It does
not differentiate between a cellular phone or land line phone.
Cellular calls are based upon having adequate reception.

Notification System
1. Place battery box and controller within six feet of the sump
and a 120 VAC separately fused outlet. The outlet must be
protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). The
area must also be clean, dry, and well-ventilated.
2. Wave cardboard over batteries to blow away any gas that
may be present.
3. Connect the power wires from the 12 Volt Advanced
Notification System to the battery terminals as shown in
(Figure 4). Connect the red wire to the positive
terminal of the battery and then connect the black wire
to the negative terminal of the battery. The display
should be lit up at this time. If connected improperly an
alarm will sound until corrected.
4. Plug the pump and float switch connectors into the
12 Volt Advanced Notification System. The connections are
marked. (See Step 6 in the Quick Start Guide)
5. Follow the on-screen instructions. Test pump operation
by filling the sump with water while the main pump is
unplugged. If the back-up pump operates properly, plug the
transformer into the GFCI protected outlet to begin charging
the battery.

ventilated area. Before servicing the batteries, blow away
the gases by waving a piece of cardboard near the batteries.

POWER OUTAGES: DSL, Digital, and Cable
provided phone services DO NOT WORK
when AC Power is lost. The 12 Volt Advanced Notification System
will NOT be able to call out if the power is out when using these
phone services. A back-up battery system (UPS-uninterrupted
power supply) is required to keep the modem and/or system active
for a minimum of 8 hours. Check with your phone service provider
for details regarding UPS sizing for your installation. Standard
telephone lines are self-powered by the telephone company and
usually not affected unless the phone service itself is interrupted.
If battery cables are reversed, damage to the
transformer, controller or battery COULD
result, and warranty WILL be void.
CONTROL BOX INSTALLATION
Use the system indoors, in a well ventilated
area. Do NOT expose to rain or snow. Do NOT use
an extension cord. Do NOT disassemble. Be sure battery box ventilation
holes are unobstructed. If dropped or damaged, do NOT operate; contact
manufacturer for service.
Electric shock hazard. Connect this
transformer to a properly grounded
GFCI (Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter) receptacle that is rated
for at least 5 amps. Test the operation of the GFCI receptacle
according to the manufacture's recommended intervals.
DISCONNECT AC power before connecting or disconnecting the battery.
Red
Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot
surfaces, oil, and chemicals. Avoid kinking the
cord and replace damaged components immediately.
The phone cords
may need to be longer depending
upon the distance to the available
phone service jack.
