13.0 Activating & testing the AlertMaxx2 unit
Before going through the testing process, ensure the mains power to the AlertMaxx2 unit is isolated.
13.2
Turning on the AlertMaxx2 unit for the first time
1. Ensure the small black switch on the main PCB is set to the ‘
NO-SEU
’ position.
2. Remove the plastic covers on the battery terminals and connect the red and black leads from the PCB on
to the battery, red to red and black to black.
3. Resecure the battery to the unit by pressing the Velcro on the battery hard against the Velcro on the unit
until a ‘click’ is heard.
4. Once the battery has been connected, the alarm will beep three times and the display will pulse in a
left to right startup sequence.
5. After approximately 20-60 seconds, the display will flash a
P1
error code.
6. Refit the front fascia.
7. Turn on the mains feed supplying the AlertMaxx2 unit, within 20 seconds the
P1
code will disappear and
the green LED will flash once every 2 seconds.

Testing the AlertMaxx2 unit
1. Test the alarm by pressing and holding the ‘FUNC’ button for 3-5 seconds and release. The alarm will
sound and the display will show an
F1
code.
2. Press the ‘RESET’ button to clear the error code and sound.
3. Test the float switch by raising the float switch to its upright position. The alarm will activate within
10-15 seconds.
4. Release the float switch. The sounder will stop within 30 seconds and the display will flash an
F3
code.
Press the ‘RESET’ button, the green LED will flash once every 2 seconds and the error code will clear.
5. Activate the float switch on the pump to start the pump. The display will show a cycling graphic which
indicates the pump is running.
6. The activation & testing is now complete and the AlertMaxx2 unit is ready for use.
Once the AlertMaxx2 has been installed and fully tested, please apply one of the chamber location stickers,
(provided in the box), to the main label of the AlertMaxx2 fascia and one to its relevant fuse spur. This is to signify
which pump station the high level alarm is connected to and which spur/s feed it.
CAUTION!
If the battery is misconnected to the AlertMaxx2 (i.e. black to red), this will destroy the unit. This can
be detected by the manufacturer and will void the warranty.
13.1
Connecting the ribbon cable
On supply, the ribbon cable that is used to pass communication between the PCB on the fascia and the
motherboard is disconnected from the terminal on the motherboard.
This must be connected before proceeding to section 13.2
See highlighted area in PURPLE on figure 6 (page 10)
for terminal block location.
