GENERAL SAFETY

INFORMATION (cont.)

A ground fault circuit interrupter is required.

This pump must only be used to pump clear water. This pump is not designed to handle efﬂuent, salt water, brine, laundry discharge or any other application which may contain caustic chemicals and/or foreign materials. Pump damage may occur if used in these applications and will void warranty.

BATTERY INFORMATION

The system is designed to operate most efﬁciently with sealed lead acid (SLA)

An assistant should be present or close enough to come to your aid in the event of an emergency. Have a reliable source of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts clothing, skin or eyes. Wear eye and clothing protection when working around lead acid batteries. Avoid touching your eyes when working around lead acid batteries.

If battery acid contacts your eye(s), ﬂush with cold running water for 10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. If acid contacts your skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water.

batteries. Deep cycle marine batteries can also be used.

Sealed lead acid batteries cost slightly more, but they can last longer. WAYNE offers a 40 amp hour battery WSB1240 and a 75 amp hour battery WSB1275.

The oversize battery case (included) will accommodate two 12-volt SLA batteries or two 12-volt deep cycle marine batteries (up to a 27-frame size).

Retain blue foam pad to support WAYNE sealed lead-acid batteries. Use new, identical batteries (from the same manufacturer and of the same capacity). When batteries wear out replace them as a set. Chart 1 illustrates the expected performance with various battery combinations. Do not use batteries rated below 40 amp hours.

Be certain that the area around the batteries is well ventilated. Before

Never smoke or allow a spark or ﬂame in the vicinity of the battery.

Avoid dropping metal tools on the battery posts because they may spark or short-circuit the system or battery, causing an explosion.

PS/BC FEATURES

POWER CIRCUITS:

•Power Supply/Battery Charger (PS/ BC) monitors power availability and automatically switches to battery operation during power outage.

•Charger will run pump motor or charge batteries when plugged into AC power

•Automatically charges the batteries

•Operates on 120 VAC and 24 VDC (Using 2 batteries)

•You will hear a beeping alarm if pump motor is running

•You will hear a continuous alarm if the pump fuse on front panel is blown

•You will hear a continuous alarm if the battery voltage drops below 21.6

LIGHTS:

•Green Light indicates AC power is available

•Yellow Light indicates battery is connected correctly

•Red Light is on when battery voltage is low or if the pump motor fuse on the front panel is blown

PUMP:

•The pump will turn on when the float switch rises. The pump motor will keep running for 15 seconds after the float drops

servicing the batteries, blow away gasses by waving a piece of cardboard near the batteries.

Dangerous hydrogen gas can be released from batteries while charging. Sparks can ignite the gas in an enclosed space. Wear safety goggles when connecting batteries. Battery connections should be made in a well-ventilated area.

Working in the vicinity of lead acid batteries can be dangerous. Before making connections or servicing the batteries, read and follow instructions in all applicable instruction manuals. To reduce the risk of battery explosion, follow the instructions in this manual and those published by the battery manufacturer, as well as those of any other equipment used in the surrounding area.
