The DC controller is equipped with a 10 amp charger for main tain ing the battery in a ready state and re charg ing the battery after use when 

AC power is restored. Time for recharge depends upon the amount of power consumed by the pumping cycle during the AC power inter-

 rup tion. The pump may go back to the ready run position in a very short period of time. A com pletely drained battery may require up to 24 

hours for full recharge. If after 24 hours of charging the battery has not reached 6 volts, the alarm will sound and not reset until the battery 

is brought up to a voltage of 6.5-7.0 volts.

Checklist

Performance

The DC emergency pump system requires a good quality, 12 volt battery to obtain maximum pumping time during a power outage. A deep-

cycle, 12 volt, 105 amp-hour marine battery or larger is rec om mended and will provide approximately 7½ hours of continuous pumping 

time in a sump pump installation with 8' of head pressure. In most installations the pump runs intermittently and the battery life is extended 

accordingly. Batteries with top terminals are recommended for ease of installation. These batteries contain acid and proper precaution must 

be taken when handling. Maximum battery size 12½" Length x 7" Width x 9½" Height.

The DC pump performance with fully charged 12V battery

The DC emergency pump is designed as a backup to your primary sump pump during unexpected power out ages or primary pump failure. 

The DC pump, elec tronic controls and all the parts required for in stal la tion are included except the battery which is supplied by the user. 

The system is de signed for installation in sumps with minimum of 18" di ame ter and 24" deep. For 18" x 22" applications, consult factory.

Troubleshooting Information, 

continued

7.  Water level stays high. DC Pump continues to run.

  (a)  Battery is low.

  (b)  If power has been restored and water in sump re mains high 

check primary pump. Service if re quired.

   (c)  After several hours the battery will be restored to full charge.

8.  Alarm sounds during battery recharge cycle.

  (a)  Push alarm reset (max. 3 times). If condition persists, 

replace battery.

  (b)  To silence alarm if alarm will not reset, unplug the charger 

from 115V wall outlet, then disconnect the black lead from 

charger on negative (-) battery post. Check battery. Replace 

if necessary. Reconnect and refer to Installation (step 14).
