CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS
Some battery types used in battery backup systems, regardless of brand or manufacturer, have the potential to give off gaseous by-products when
charging. Some of these by-products can produce a rotten egg odor. Also, some of these by-products can cause a CO detector to falsely activate.
In order to help prevent false activation, Zoeller Pump Company recommends moving the battery as far away from the CO detector as possible or,
if necessary, venting the battery to the exterior. Zoeller Pump Company provides the previous statements only as guidelines to help prevent false
activation of the CO detector. In no way are these statements intended to supersede the instructions that accompany the detector, nor do they
supersede advice from the CO detector manufacturer.
If the audible alarm associated with your CO detector is activated, we recommend the following actions:
1) Take immediate action for personal safety as recommended in the CO detector literature.
2) Contact the appropriate agency to determine if the CO is being produced by your furnace, water heater, or any other device which uses natural
gas.
3) If you are certain that no CO is being produced, a charging battery may be producing gaseous by-products capable of causing the CO detector
to activate. Contact the manufacturer and ask for recommendations to prevent the alarm activation.
There are millions of batteries manufactured each year, so it is impossible to guarantee consistent quality. A defective battery will never
become fully charged and may damage the charging circuits of the controller. It is for this reason that Zoeller offers its own line of batteries.
We offer both a water/acid deep-cycle battery and a maintenance-free AGM battery which can run the pump continuously for over 5 hours.
These times are based on continuous pumping at 8' (2.4 m) of static head. Actual times will vary depending on static head, volume of water
entering the pit, and the condition of the battery.
Follow these recommendations:
• Use a B.C.I. size 27 deep-cycle battery, 175 minute reserve capacity, or larger
• Replace your battery every 3 years
• Do not let corrosion build up on the battery terminals
• To check specific gravity, follow the instructions on a hydrometer (wet cell batteries only)
• Use of the included plastic battery box is recommended to keep the battery safe and clean.
PROTECT YOUR WARRANTY:
• Water level in batteries must be checked once a month (wet cell batteries only)
