Installation
(Continued)
The remainder of the discharge pipe installation will vary depending on individual circumstances. Using sound plumbing practices, route the discharge pipe to an exterior wall by the shortest distance.
Methods 1 and 2
Install float switch at least
Control Box Installation
1.Attach control box to the side of battery box as shown in Figure 3. Place battery in box, attach red cable to positive battery post and black cable to negative post. Put lid on box.
If cables are reversed, damage to the control box or battery could result, and warranty will be void.
2.Place battery box within six feet of the sump and a 115 VAC separately fused outlet. The outlet must be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). The area must also be clean, dry and well- ventilated.
3.Plug the float switch, pump and charger into the control box. The connections are marked on the control box.
4.Test pump operation by filling the sump with water while the main pump is unplugged. If the pump operates properly, plug the charger into the GFCI protected outlet to begin charging the battery.
5.Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord and replace damaged components immediately.

Operation
Always disconnect the power source before attempting to install, service, relocate or maintain the pump. Never touch sump pump, pump motor, water or discharge piping when pump is connected to electrical power. Never handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp surface or in water. Fatal electrical shock could occur.
Risk of electrical shock! Use a GFCI receptacle to reduce the risk of fatal electrical shock. Cutting the cord or plug will void the warranty and make the pump inoperable.
1.After installation, the backup pump will start when the water level rises above the depth that the primary pump should start.
2.The control box has a DC charger designed to shorten the recharging time of your battery, and to prevent overcharging. In addition, the control box has a time delay which keeps the pump from repeated, short cycles when it shuts off. This time delay feature will allow the pump to run
3.The control box contains a multi- colored indicator light. When AC power is present, the light will indicate the charging state, and not reflect actual battery voltage, particularly with a defective battery. In order for the indicator light to provide an accurate reading, steps “a” through “d” must be followed.
Unplug main AC pump and the charger. Risk of electrical shock!
a.After main AC pump and charger are unplugged, a power off alert tone will sound for 30 seconds.
b.Lift and release the float switch to activate the backup pump.
c.When the pump stops, read the test light:
Green: Indicates battery is charged.
Yellow: Voltage is low, indicating battery is partially charged.
Red: Battery is completely discharged or defective.
d.Plug in charger and main AC pump.
When AC power is out, and when pump has been running, the light will indicate battery status.
4.A chirping sound from the control box will accompany the red light, indicating that the battery may require attention or replacement. Voltage is only an indicator of battery condition and may not reflect the true condition of the battery. See Maintenance for instruction on assessing battery condition.
