TESTING YOUR INSTALLATION
1. Once your installation and wiring connections are complete, unplug or disconnect the
power to the primary pump.
2. Fill the basin using buckets or a hose. Observe the float switches to make sure they are
positioned properly when the basin is filling. Fill the basin until the backup float activates
the alarm.
3. Make any necessary adjustments to the float(s) and/or pumps at this time.
OPERATION
1. When the power fails or when there is a problem with the primary pump, the back-up
pump will automatically start. The back up pump will operate for many hours
intermittently. During prolonged periods of power outage the pump may stop pumping
when the battery voltage drops below 10 volts. When this happens the alarm will sound
signaling that the voltage is too low to operate the pump.
2. This unit is equipped with a 2 amp charger. It will charge a discharged battery at a rate of
2 Ah (Amp hours). Once the battery reaches a full charge, the charger will gradually
reduce the charge rate. It will also maintain a charged battery by periodically checking the
voltage of the battery.
3. The charger is equipped with over charge protection. I will not let the battery become over
charged.
