STEP 1:
Disconnect the power to the primary sump pump so the only pump available is the Battery Backup Sump Pump.
STEP 2:
With a garden hose or buckets of water fill the sump basin with water. At the designated level of water, the Bat-
tery Backup Sump Pump should activate and the ALARM and ALARM INDICATOR LIGHT should come on. This
indicates the system is working.
STEP 3:
Press the RESET button on the control/alarm panel and reconnect power to the primary sump pump. The test is
complete.
NOTE: If the Battery Backup Sump Pump failed to activate, review the complete instructions.
The Battery Backup Sump Pump is designated as an emergency back up pump in the event your primary sump
pump fails or if there is a loss of power to your primary sump pump.
THE BATTERY BACKUP SUMP PUMP IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE AS A PRIMARY SUMP PUMP.
PRIMARY SUMP PUMP FAILURE
In the event your primary sump pump fails or loses power, the Battery Backup System will automatically activate
when the float switch reaches the ON position. When it turns on, a alarm will sound and the alarm indicator will
light. When the water in the sump basin recedes and the pump turns off, the alarm will continue to sound until you
depress the ON/OFF switch to the on/off switch to the ON position and press the RESET button.
BATTERY LOW
In the event 12 volt battery charge should drop lower than 11 volts, the alarm will sound and the BATTERY LOW
indicator will light. Press the ON/OFF switch to OFF position, disconnect power to the 12 volt transformer from the
GFCI outlet and disconnect the pump and float switch cords from the alarm/control panel plugs. Have the bat-
tery checked, serviced or replaced if necessary. Once 12 volt battery is serviced or replaced, reconnect all plugs,
cables and power and follow the Test Procedures listed in this owners manual.
BATTERY CHARGING/CHARGED
When the battery is not at full charge capacity, the BATTERY CHARGING indicator will light. The battery charger
is simply recharging the battery to its full charged capacity. Once the battery has reached full charging capacity
(13 volts) the CHARGED indicator will light.
If neither the BATTERY CHARGING or CHARGED indicator lights are on, check all wire connections and plugs to
ensure proper hook up.
LEADS REVERSED
If you connect the battery cable to the wrong battery terminal, the LEADS REVERSED indicator will light. Simply
remove the battery cable and reconnect to the proper battery terminals. The RED WIRE is connected to the posi-
tive (+) terminal and the BLACK wire is connected to the negative (-) terminal.
You must replace the 1 amp fuse with the extra fuse provided. Simply turn the fuse cover counter clockwise until
the burnt fuse is exposed. Replace the fuse and thread the fuse cover, turning clockwise.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
The 12 volt marine battery should be tested every four to six months. It is recommended to replace the battery
every three to four years. Follow the battery manufacturers recommendations for proper battery maintenance and
battery replacement.
