BATTERY SELECTION
This system is designed to work with 12 volt, lead-acid deep cycle marine / RV batteries.
Either a flooded cell (serviceable or maintenance free) or sealed AGM battery are acceptable.
Choose a battery with a minimum 90 amp-hour rating and a 175 minute reserve capacity or
larger. Avoid using automobile batteries as these types of batteries are not intended to be
charged/discharged for extended periods of time. The battery case will accommodate size
24 or 27 batteries.
During prolonged periods of power failure or in an emergency, your automobile battery may
be used. Make sure to replace the deep cycle battery as soon as possible as the automobile
battery will be quickly ruined by the continuous charge/discharge cycles.
GENERAL INFORMATION
This battery back-up system is not intended to replace your primary sump pump. It is
intended to provide temporary back-up during power failures or malfunctions with the
primary pump.
CARBON MONOXIDE (CO) DETECTORS
All back-up pump systems that use lead acid batteries, regardless of brand, give off gaseous
by-products when the battery is charging. Some of these by-products can cause a carbon
monoxide (CO) detector to give a false alarm. When installing this system, position the
battery as far away from the CO detector as possible. DO NOT move or remove CO
detectors from their original location. Always follow the instructions that accompany your
CO detector.
If your CO detector alarm sounds, take the following actions.
1.
Take immediate action for personal safety as outlined in the CO detector manual.
2.
Contact the appropriate utility agency to determine if the CO is coming from your
furnace, water heater or other appliance that uses natural gas
If it’s determined that a charging battery is causing the CO detector to activate, contact the
manufacturer for recommendations on how to alleviate the problem.
INSTALLATION
A qualified electrician must perform all wiring.
RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK. Always disconnect the power source before attempting to
install, service or perform maintenance on the pump. Failure to do so may result in fatal
electrical shock.
This pump kit is completely assembled. To install,
simply place the pump assembly in the bottom of your
basin and connect to your new or existing discharge
pipe. The pump should be placed on a solid foundation.
Do not place the pump directly on the ground or sandy
or rocky surfaces. Sand and small stones may clog or
cause damage to your pump. Make sure the float
switches will operate freely without coming in contact
with the sides of the sump basin. Contact with the side
of the sump basin may cause the switch to
malfunction. See figure.
