INSTALLATION
6.
Connect the leads from the controller to the battery terminals. Positive (+)
lead to positive terminal and black neg. (-) lead to negative battery terminal.
CAUTION
Correct battery hook-up is essential for operation
of the system. Use wing 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.
The stud sizes on the AGM battery are identical. Apply grease to the
terminals to help prevent corrosion.
7. Connect the plugs for the pump, operational switch and high water switch
into the appopriate recepticles on the controller.
8. Plug the controller into the 115 V wall outlet. The primary sump pump and the
controller should be on separate circuits.
9. Reconnect power to the primary sump pump.
10. The Aquanot
®
FIt Controller is designed for use with Z Control
®
.
1. Ensure O-ring is properly located on pump discharge. Slide DC pump into
fitting and tighten the hose clamp.
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 the controller. The controller 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.
5. Install the Fit controller (see Figure 3) by using the anchors provided. For
best cooling, install wall mount configuration. The controller should be
located at least 3' (1 m) above the sump.
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.
(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.

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 controller. The System Ready light will be green when the unit
is plugged into the 115 V wall outlet. The battery will indicate its condition
when the controller has DC power. When the unit is first plugged in, all
lights will flash and alarm will sound to verify all lights and the alarm
work.
3. Disconnect the primary pump from its power source before touching
any component in the sump pit.
4. Lift the operational float switch. After a couple seconds the DC backup
pump will run, and the alarm will sound after about 1 second. Lower the
operational float switch after the alarm sounds. Take care that the intake
of the DC pump is set above the inlet of the primary pump. Press silence
for 3 seconds to clear out the alarm and reset the unit.
CAUTION
Continuous dry running may cause overheating and damage
the pump seals. Upon release of the float switch, the pump will shut off.
Be sure there are no obstructions around the float.
5.
Check installation of the high water switch. Lift the high water float. The
alarm will sound, and the light will alert of high water. If the operational
float is down, the pump will run until the float lowers and the pump is
no longer pumping water, or the run timer expires a foat fault LED will
be lit. If the operational float is up during high water, unit will alarm and
high water float light will illuminate. The pump will turn off once water
is pumped lower than the operational float. Hold the silence button for 3
seconds to reset the alarm.
6. Complete the final testing of your installation by ensuring the primary
pump is still disconnected from power. Then, unplug the fit controller
from the 115 V wall outlet. Run water into the sump until the DC backup
pump is activated by the operational float switch. Check all connections
for leaks.
7. Push the Silence button when the pump is running. This will silence
the alarm. The pump will continue to run until the operational float is
deactivated.
8. Reconnect the controller and the primary pump to the AC wall outlets. The
primary pump may come on, lower the water level in the sump back to its
normal operating level, and shut off. Both primary and backup systems
are now ready for use. Hold silence button for several seconds to reset
the unit.
9. Hold the Silence button for several seconds to reset the unit. LED will be
yellow during normal charging operation. See page 6 for a description
of controller functions.
NOTE: When running the pumps, it is normal for a stream of water to spray
out of the 1/8" (3 mm) air relief hole.
