Controller Set-Up
Your Basement Sentry controller is now online. Be
sure you have added the contact information for
phone numbers and email addresses that should
receive notification. This can done by selecting
“Manage Contacts” from the main menu (the square
with 3 lines in the upper right corner). You can also
edit how each device sends out notifications from the
devices
“Alarm Settings” tab. You can now open the product’s
configuration by clicking the “View” button to modify
the controller device and notification settings. You can
also install the Z Control
®
mobile app on your mobile
device (Android and iOS versions available, search
“Z Control
®
” in the app stores).
Firmware Updates
The Basement Sentry controller is capable of OTA,
or over-the-air firmware updates. It’s possible that
the controller could perform an update immediately if
one is available at the Z Control
®
Cloud. If an update
is taking place, the Z Control
®
LED will flicker for up
to one minute while the update is downloaded. The
Z Control
®
LED will be solid and all other LEDs will
turn off while the update is being installed. After up
to one minute, the controller will restart and return
to normal operation. The controller’s alert history on
the Z Control
®
Cloud will also be updated with the
firmware upgrade information, and notification to
email accounts will occur.
START-UP AND OPERATION
The Basement Sentry controller is able to recognize potential air lock situations and remedy the issue with an on/
off/on/off/on routine which purges air from the pump. Other potential issues such as a stuck float can also be
sensed and resolved by the controller to prevent damage to the equipment.
In addition, the following LED functions provide a visual cue to the proper function of the DC pump:
• The DC pump LED will stay yellow after pumping water, alerting you when the DC pump has turned on and
has pumped water.
• If the the DC pump runs and does not pump water, the LED will not stay yellow. This can occur during a
test of the system when the float is lifted manually while the pump is above the water line. This allows the
system to be tested without having to reset it each time.

WARNING:
Disconnect the primary pump from the
115V outlet before touching any component in the
sump basin.
Test the installation for leaks by running water into
the sump basin. The primary pump should operate
normally.
