against basement flooding. It is designed protect your home during power outages.
Choose this pump if your sump basin is at least 18-in. wide by 22-in. deep.
Place the battery in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area on a shelf or protective plywood board.
Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Whether you have a Basement Sentry backup pump system or a competitive brand, all use
batteries that 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, Basement Sentry recommends moving the
battery as far away from the CO detector as possible or, if necessary, vent the battery to the
exterior. Basement Sentry provides the previous statements only as guidelines to help prevent
false activation of the CO detector. In no way are they meant 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 which are causing the CO detector to activate. Contact the
manufacturer and ask for recommendations to prevent the alarm activation.
