sensor in the hole that is off center on the top
of the cap. Do not glue the sensor into the
cap. (b) If the top of the battery has 2 large
caps, place the fluid sensor in the hole molded
on the top of the battery. It is located in the
second cell from the positive post, and the
location is marked by an arrow on the top
label. Hold the sensor straight up and press it
firmly into the hole. Do not bend the sensor.
If you are not using the Pro Series Standby
battery, you cannot use the battery fluid
sensor. However, you must attach the sensor
to the POSITIVE (+) post of the battery or the
alarm will sound continuously. The Pro Series
sump pump system will not warn you if the
fluid level is low in
this configuration.
You will need to
check your battery
every
couple
of
months to see if it
needs water. If the
battery dries out, the
system will not work.

Connecting the battery:
Remove the wing
nuts from the battery terminals. Remove the
security tag from the battery cables. Attach
the battery cables to the battery…the WHITE
wire to the NEGATIVE (-) post, and the BLACK
wire to the POSITIVE (+) post. Replace the
wing nuts and tighten them.
6.
Connecting the charger:
Immediately plug
the charger into the charger hole on the back
of the control unit, then into an AC outlet on
the wall. (A surge protector that protects all
three pins on the power plug is
recommended.)
7. If the pump alarm is sounding, press the
WHITE button on the front of the control
panel to silence the alarm.
8. Secure the cover on the battery box by
slipping the tabs through the fittings on the
front and back of the box.
9.
BE SURE TO PLUG IN THE MAIN AC PUMP
WHEN YOU FINISH THE INSTALLATION.
Understanding the
Warnings & Alarms
The Pro Series control unit features a series of
warning lights that pinpoint potential problems.
In addition, an alarm sounds to alert you to the
problem. In some cases the lights and alarm will
go off automatically when the problem has been
solved. In others, the WHITE button on the
front of the control
unit must be pushed
to silence the alarm.
Refer to the table
below for a quick
review of the features
and their corres-
ponding alarm status.
SILENCING THE ALARM
DURING AN EMERGENCY
The Pro Series 1000 is equipped with a switch
that will silence the audible alarm during an
extended emergency. The “AC power”
1
and
“Pump”
3
alarms can be silenced during a
power outage or during heavy rains when the
pump is activated repeatedly.
To silence both the “AC
power” and “Pump”
alarms,
slide
the
“Audible Alarm” switch
to OFF. The “AC power”
and/or the “Pump”
light will remain on,
but the audible alarm
will not sound.
When
the emergency has
ended,
slide
the
switch to the ON position to resume the full
monitoring capability, or you will not be
warned the next time an emergency occurs.
The “Fluid level”
2
and “Battery problem”
5
alarms cannot be silenced. Both require
immediate attention.

The unit is not receiving AC power
There are several causes for power failure. The
most common is a power outage by your electric
company. During this emergency, the Pro Series
system will automatically switch to battery
power and protect your basement from flooding.
You can silence the “AC power” alarm by sliding
the” Audible Alarm” switch to OFF. The alarm
will be silenced, but the light will stay on. The
system will continue to operate while the power
alarm is silenced.
Be sure to slide the switch
to the ON position when the power is restored
to resume full monitoring capability.
1. If the power is on in the rest of the house,
check the home circuit breaker or fuse box for
failure, and correct the problem.
2. Check the charger. Make sure it is securely
plugged into the wall outlet. Make sure the
outlet is working.
3. Check the charger plug that fits into the rear
panel of the control unit. Make sure it is
securely plugged into the control unit.
The control unit must receive 115 volts AC +/-
5% from the AC outlet. Any voltage lower than
110 volts will activate the “AC power” alarm.
Lower voltages can be caused by utility company
brown outs or a heavy power draw from other
appliances on the same circuit. Reduce the
number of appliances on the circuit.
If all the connections are secure and the wall
outlet is operating, but the “AC power” warning
light is still on, replace the charger unit with the
Pro Series part number 1015003. Contact
Glentronics at 800-991-0466, option #3 for parts.

The fluid in the battery is low
Risk of electrical shock or battery explosion,
which can cause serious injury or death.
Wear eye protection. Work in a well-
ventilated area. Do not smoke or allow a
spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery.
Avoid dropping metal tools on the battery.
If battery acid contacts eyes, flush with
water for 15 minutes and get prompt
medical attention. Review the safety
instructions on page 1.
