Control Unit Hookup
When you position the control unit, be sure the charger cord
will reach the AC power outlet and the pump cable and the
fl oat switch will reach the bottom of the sump. Position the
unit in a well ventilated area. (Diagram C)
1.
Mounting the control unit:
(a) Thread the plastic wire tie through the two mounting
brackets on the back of the control unit. (b) Secure the
control unit to the discharge pipe of the main pump by
wrapping the tie around the pipe and pulling it tight.
2.
Positioning the fl oat switch:
The
fl oat switch will turn on the pump when the water
rises to the top of the switch. The switch should be
mounted six inches (6”) above the activation level of the
main AC pump. Attach the fl oat switch very securely to
the discharge pipe or the elbow of the back-up pump with
the plastic wire tie.
Be sure the switch is positioned
vertically with the mounting bracket at the top. Do not
tilt the switch. Do not position the fl oat switch on the
side of the discharge pipe facing the drain tile or any
incoming rush of water!
3.
Installing the battery fl uid sensor:
Replace the battery cap that is 2nd from the POSITIVE
(+) post of the battery with the sensor cap that is provided
in the back-up sump pump package. There are two holes
in the sensor cap. Insert the fl uid sensor in the hole that is
off-center on the top of the cap.
Do not glue the sensor
into the cap.
If your battery will not accommodate the
enclosed cap, you cannot use the battery fl uid sensor,
however you must attach the sensor to the POSITIVE (+)
post of the battery or the alarm will sound continuously.
The Battery Back-up System will not warn you if the fl uid
level is low in this confi guration. You will need to check
your battery monthly to see if it needs water.
4.
Hooking up the pump:
Plug the pump wires into the pump connector on the back
of the control unit.
5.
Hooking up the battery:
Coat the terminals with a little petroleum jelly to prevent
corrosion. Attach the battery cables to the battery. The
BLACK wire to the POSITIVE (+) post, the WHITE wire
to the NEGATIVE (-) post.
6. Immediately plug the charger into the charger hole on the
back of the control unit and into an AC outlet on the wall.
The Back-up Sump Pump System is
ready to use!
