10. Install the Fit Controller (see Figure 3) by using the anchors provided. For
best cooling, install wall mount configuration. The controller should be
located at least 3' (1 m) above the sump.
11. Connect the leads from the controller to the battery terminals. Positive (+)
lead to positive terminal and black neg. (-) lead to negative battery terminal.
CAUTION
Correct battery hook-up is essential for operation of
the system. Use wing nuts supplied with battery and eyelet connectors
on battery wire leads. The positive terminal is the larger stud, 3/8" (10
mm) diameter. The smaller stud, 5/16" (8 mm) diameter is the negative
terminal. The stud sizes on the AGM battery are identical. Apply grease to
the terminals to help prevent corrosion.
12. Connect the pump's plug into the controller terminal.
13. Plug the controller into the 115 V wall outlet. The primary sump pump and the
controller should be on separate circuits.
14. Reconnect power to the primary sump pump.
15. The Aquanot
®
FIt Controller is designed for use with Z Control
®
.
1. The preferred method of installation for backup pumps is shown in Figure 1.
The installation kit includes the necessary fittings. Includes the parts needed
to install as in Figure 1. A check valve is incorporated in the discharge of the
backup pump.
NOTE: Do not install in small spaces where the controller will not be properly
cooled.
2. Remove all parts from the shipping carton, and make sure all parts are included.
Refer to the parts list on page 3.
3. Select a location for the battery and the controller. The controller must be within
8' (2.4 m) of a 115 V wall outlet and within 6' (1.8 m) of pump and basin. Connect
to a separate circuit from the primary pump.
4. If the primary pump is installed, disconnect power.
NOTE: Discharge piping must be 1-1/2" SCH 40 PVC
5. Remove the discharge pipe from the pump and place it aside.
6. Solvent weld the DC Pump discharge reducer fitting to the tee as shown in
Figure 1. Ensure the O-ring is properly located on the pump discharge. Slide the
DC pump into the fitting, and tighten the hose clamp.
NOTE: The pump must be pushed all the way into the fitting to prevent the fitting
from leaking.
7. Determine the position of the DC pump and measure for discharge piping. Use
that measurement to cut the discharge pipe. Solvent weld that piece to the tee.
Measure, cut and solvent weld any remaining discharge piping above the tee.
NOTE: Check float operations to ensure the hose clamp screws will not interfere
with the float operation of the primary pump.
8. Assemble the operation float assembly per Figure 3. Install float switches as
seen in Figure 1.
9. Install the operational float switch bracket above the "on" level of the primary
pump using the clamp provided. Make certain the clamp is tight on the pipe to
avoid slippage. Ensure that the "off" level of the float is 1" (2.5 cm) minimum
above the outlet of the DC backup pump. Position the pumps in the sump and
move float up and down, ensuring free movement without interference from
any obstructions inside the sump or lid. The float switch can be moved on the
discharge pipe, or the rubber stops can be adjusted as necessary. Cut extra
float rod length below lower float stop to prevent debris from interfering with float
operation. Install the high water switch with the "on" level set at least 1" (2.5
cm) above the "on" level of the operational float using the supplied clamp. Move
the switch up and down, ensuring free movement without interference from any
obstructions inside the sump or lid.
INITIAL START-UP AND OPERATION
1. Test the installation for leaks by running water into the sump, allowing for
normal operation of the primary pump.
2. Check the controller. The System ready light will be green when the
unit is
plugged into the 115 V wall outlet. The battery will indicate its condition when
the controller has DC power. When the unit is first plugged in, all lights will
flash and alarm will sound to verify all lights and the alarm work. Note that
the charger may not begin charging for several minutes.
3. Disconnect the primary pump from its power source before touching any
component in the sump pit.
4. Lift
the operational float switch. After a couple seconds the DC backup
pump will run, and the alarm will sound after about 1 second. Lower the
operational float switch after the alarm sounds.
Take care that the intake
of the DC pump is set above the inlet of the primary pump. Press silence
for 3 seconds to clear out the alarm and reset the unit.
CAUTION
Continuous dry running may cause overheating and damage
the pump seals. Upon release of the float switch, the pump will shut off.
Be sure there are no obstructions around the float.
5.
Check installation of the high water switch. Lift the high water float. The
alarm will sound, and the light will alert of high water. If the operational float
is down, the pump will run until the float lowers and the pump is no longer
pumping water, or the run timer expires a foat fault LED will be lit. If the
operational float is up during high water, unit will alarm and high water float
light will illuminate. The pump will turn off once water is pumped lower than
the operational float.
6. Complete the final testing of your installation by ensuring the primary
pump
is still disconnected from power. Then, unplug the fit controller from the
115 V wall outlet. Run water into the sump until the DC backup pump is
activated by the operational float switch. Check all connections for leaks.
7. Push the Silence button when the pump is running. This will silence the
alarm. The pump will continue to run until the operational float is deactivated.
8. Reconnect the controller and the primary pump to the AC wall outlets. The
primary pump may come on, lower the water level in the sump back to its
normal operating level, and shut off. Both primary and backup systems are
now ready for use. Hold silence button for several seconds to reset the unit.
9. The battery hold silence button for several seconds to reset the unit. LED
will be yellow during normal charging operation. See page 6 for a description
of controller functions.
NOTE: When running the pumps, it is normal for a stream of water to spray
out of the 1/8" (3 mm) air relief hole.
