8. (a) If your battery has six (6) caps on the top,

rinse and dry the cap with the extra hole from
the  old  battery  to  remove  any  residue.
Replace the battery cap in the cell that is 2nd
from the POSITIVE post with the cap from the
old battery.  Insert the fluid sensor in the cap.
(b)  If  your  battery  has  two  caps,  each
covering three (3) battery cells, simply insert
the fluid sensor in the top of the battery next
to the arrow.

9. Secure  the  cover  on  the  battery  box  by

slipping the tabs through the fittings on the
front and back of the box.

10. Plug  the  charger  back  into  the  wall  outlet.

(You should provide additional protection for
the control unit by using a surge protector.)

11. If any of the alarms are sounding, press the

YELLOW  button  on  the  front  of  the  control
panel for one (1) second.

Fuse 

Unplug the main AC pump before servicing the
backup pump to avoid electric shock.  Failure
to do so could cause serious injury or death.

This alarm indicates that the 20 amp safety fuse
on the back of the control unit has blown.  This

can  be  the  result  of  a  clogged  pump  motor,  or
pump  wires  that  have  been  shorted  out.    To
determine the problem:

REFER TO THE PHOTOS BELOW

1. Check the pump plug in the back of the unit

to make sure it is firmly connected.  Check the
pump wires to make sure they are connected
securely to the pump plug.  Check the rest of
the pump wires for any possible breaks.

2. If the pump wires are intact, the pump may be

clogged.  (a) Disconnect the control unit from
the  wall  outlet,  and  disconnect  the  battery
cables.  (b) Release the union or check valve
and  remove  the  pump  and  rigid  PVC  pipe
section from the sump pit. (c) Clear any debris
from  the  strainer  and  impeller,  and  then
reconnect  the  pump  to  the  discharge  pipe.
(d) Connect the control unit, and the battery
cables to the battery…the BLACK wire to the

NEGATIVE (-) post, and then the RED wire to
the POSITIVE (+) post.  Tighten the wing nuts
on the battery posts.  (e) Plug the control unit
back into the wall outlet.

3. (a) Check the DC fuse by pulling it out of the

fuse  holder.    (b)  If  the  wires  are  burned  and
broken,  replace  the  fuse  with  a  20  amp  DC
safety  fuse.    If  the  fuse  blows  again,  unplug
the  computer  control  unit  from  the  wall  and
disconnect the battery cables from the battery.
Then  call  Glentronics  technical  support  for
instructions at 800-991-0466, option #3.  You
may need to replace the pump.

4. Plug  the  main  AC  pump  back  into  the  wall

outlet.

Water 

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.

REFER TO THE PHOTOS AT RIGHT

If this warning light and alarm are on, you need
to  add  distilled  water  to  the  battery.  Battery
fluid  levels  should  be  checked  once  every  four
months.

1. Unplug the charger from the wall outlet.

2. Remove  the  cover  of  the  battery  box  by

pushing  in  the  tabs  on  the  front  and  back,
then lifting up.

3. Fan  the  area  around  the  top  of  the  battery

with  a  piece  of  cardboard  (or  another  non-
metallic material) to remove any hydrogen or
oxygen gas that may have been emitted from
the battery.  

4. Then  unscrew  the  wing  nuts  and  remove  the

battery  cables  and  the  fluid  sensor  from  the
battery.

5. Remove the battery caps.  Add distilled water

to  each  cell.    If  distilled  water  is  not
available,  tap  water  with  a  low  mineral
content  may  be  used.    Well  water  is  not
recommended.  

NEVER ADD MORE ACID.

Fill

the battery to level 2 as shown in Diagram E
on page 8.  (The Basement Watchdog battery
filler  will  automatically  fill  the  level  to  the
correct height.  See enclosed order form.)

6. Replace  the  battery  caps.    Replace  the  fluid

sensor in the hole on the top of the battery or
in the yellow cap, depending on which battery
you  own.  Be  sure  the  fluid  sensor  is
positioned  in  the  2nd  cell  from  the  positive
post.    The  hole  is  marked  with  an  arrow.
Replace the battery cables…the BLACK wire to
the  NEGATIVE  (-)  post,  and  the  RED  wire  to
the POSITIVE (+) post.  Replace the wing nuts
and tighten.

7. Replace the cover on the battery box.

8. Plug  the  charger  back  into  the  outlet.    (You

should  provide  additional  protection  for  the
control unit by using a surge protector.)

9. If  any  of  the  alarms  are  sounding,  press  the

YELLOW  button  on  the  front  of  the  control
panel for one (1) second.
