INSTALLATION
negative battery terminal. Upon proper connection, test alarm
will sound. Press alarm reset to silence. This indicates proper
charger to battery connection.
CAUTION
Correct battery hook
up is essential for operation of the system. Use nuts supplied with
battery and eyelet connectors on battery wire leads. The positive
terminal is the larger stud, 3/8" (10 mm) diameter. The smaller stud,
5/16" (8 mm) diameter is the negative terminal. Apply grease to the
terminals to help prevent corrosion.
8. Connect the black lead from the pump to the negative (-) battery
terminal. Connect the white lead from the switch to the positive
(+) battery terminal.
9. Close battery box and secure cover.
10. Plug the control power cord into the 115 V wall outlet. The primary
sump pump and the control charger should be on separate circuits.
11. Reconnect power to primary sump pump.
12. Optional: a dongle may be used to input a name and number
into the charger for service information to the end user. Contact
Customer Support for more information.
13. Optional: on the bottom of the charger there is a pair of dry contacts
to signal an auxiliary device of a low battery, high water and
reverse polarity alarm condition. This simple 2-wire connection is
rated at a maximum of 24 V AC/DC and 0.5 amps. It can be used
with an auto-dialer (such as the Zoeller 10-2616), alarm or home
security system. Read the auxiliary equipment's documents for
further instructions.
1. Ensure O-ring is properly located on pump discharge. Slide DC pump
into fitting and tighten the hose clamp (see Figure 2).
2. The preferred method of installation for backup pumps is shown in
Figure 1. The installation kit includes one check valve for installing
with the backup pump discharging into the primary pump outlet
pipe. An additional check valve is incorporated in the discharge of
the backup pump.
3. Select location for battery and control charger. Control charger
must be within 6' (1.87 m) of a 115 V wall outlet and within 6' (1.8 m)
of pump and basin. Connect to a separate circuit, different than the
primary pump.
4.
Make certain the float switch clamp is tight on the pipe to avoid
slippage. Ensure that the “off” level of the float is 1" (25 mm) min.
above the discharge tee of the DC backup pump (see Figure 1).
Position pumps in the sump and move float up and down, making sure
of free movement without interference from any obstructions inside
the sump or lid. Very shallow sumps may require some adjustment
to avoid overfilling or backing up of water into the sump inlet. The
float switch can be moved on the discharge pipe or the rubber stops
can be adjusted as necessary. Cut extra float rod length below lower
float stop to prevent debris from interfering with float operation (see
figure 2).
5. Mount DC control charger to the wall. If more convenient, the
control charger may be set on a nearby shelf or ledge. The control
charger should be located 3' (1 m) or 4' (1.2 m) above the sump.
6. Connect the green sensor wire to the sensor connector (Figure 3).
7. Connect the leads from the control charger to the battery terminals.

INITIAL START-UP AND OPERATION
1. Test the installation for leaks by running water into the sump allowing
for normal operation of the primary pump.
2. Check the control charger. The red power on light will be lit when
the unit is plugged into the 115 V wall outlet. The yellow/green light
will indicate the condition of the battery.
3. Disconnect primary pump before touching any component in the
sump pit.
4.
Lift float switch. The DC backup pump will run and the alarm will sound
after 1 or more seconds. Lower float switch immediately after alarm has
started. Pump is running dry during initial check out for several seconds.
CAUTION
Continuous dry running may cause overheating and
damage the pump seals. Upon release of the float switch, the pump
will shut off. Press the reset button to turn the alarm off.
5. Complete the final testing of your installation by disconnecting the
power to the primary pump and the control charger by removing
the plugs from the 115 V wall outlets. Run water into the sump
until the DC backup pump is activated by the float switch. Check
all connections for leaks.
6. Push alarm reset switch when pump is running. This will silence
the alarm. The pump will continue to run.
7. Reconnect the control charger and your primary pump to the AC
wall outlets. The primary pump should come on and lower the water
level in the sump back to the normal operating level and shut off.
Both primary and backup systems are now ready for use.
8. The battery charged and charging LED’s will alternate during normal
charging operation.
MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect and test the system for proper operations at least every 3 months.
(a) Red power on indicator light should be on indicating AC power
is on.
(b) Unplug primary pump and the control charger from power supply.
(c) Fill sump with water to the “on” level for the DC pump. Allow
pump to run a few minutes.
(d) The alarm will sound approximately 3 seconds after the pump
starts to run.
(e) Push alarm reset switch. The alarm will go off.
(f) Pump will shut off after water level is lowered and the float drops
to the off position.
2. Plug the control charger and the primary pump into the wall outlet.
(a) The primary pump will come on and lower the water to the
normal operating level and shut off.
(b) The yellow charging light should be on. The charger is replacing
the energy consumed during the test. The green light will come
on after the charger has replaced the energy consumed during
the test.
3. Add distilled water to battery when necessary per battery manufacturer's
instructions.
CAUTION
Battery acid is dangerous. Take proper
safety precautions. Do not splash the acid.
