• Controller is factory programmed to self-test the pump for several seconds every 24 hours.
• Pressing the test button will start the 24-hour timer for self-testing.
Note: Holding both the silence/reset and test button at the same time for 5 seconds will cause a factory reset on the controller.

MAINTENANCE
1.
Inspect and test the system for proper operations at least every 3 months.
Electrolyte levels in wet cell batteries should be checked monthly. Such
a check is not required for “maintenance free” battery types.
(a) Green "system ready" indicator light should be on, indicating AC
power is on and there are no alarm conditions.
(b) Unplug the primary pump and the controller from the power supply.
(c) Fill the sump with water to the “on” level for the DC pump. Allow the
pump to run a few minutes.
(d) The alarm will sound approximately 1 second after the pump starts to
run.
(e) Push the Silence/Reset button. The alarm will turn off.
(f) The pump will shut off after the water level is lowered and the float
drops to the "off" position.
(g) Hold silence/ reset button for 3 seconds to reset the controller and
clear any alarms or indicators.
2.
Plug the controller and the primary pump into the wall outlet.
(a) The primary pump may come on, lower the water to the "off" level
and shut off.
(b) The battery light will be yellow when charging. The charger is
replacing the energy consumed during the test. The green light will come
on after the charger has replaced the energy consumed during the test.
*Note: will not persist if pump didn’t pump water

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.
Zoeller offers its own line of batteries. We offer maintenance-free, deep cycle batteries capable of running the pump continuoulsy for over 5.5 hours. These
times are based on continuous pumping at 10' 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 3-4 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)
• Do not use gel or automotive batteries
• We recommend the following battery part numbers: 10-1450, 10-0761, and 10-5105
