Installation

1.Disconnect power to the primary sump pump.

2.Assemble control panel to battery box with four screws included.

3.Position 12 volt battery (not provided) into battery box.

4.Assemble the two lead wires from control panel to the battery with the two battery clamps included per Fig. 2.

Note: Assemble RED wire to POSITIVE (+) battery terminal and BLACK wire to the NEGATIVE (–) battery terminal. The RED wire is supplied with an in-line fuse (10 amps, 250 volt rating) to protect the battery, pump and wiring should a short, over-current or ground fault occur.

If this fuse must be replaced for any reason, it must be replaced with one of the exact same rating. Failure to do so may result in a fire hazard. If the polarities are connected wrong, the REVERSE battery indicator light on the control panel will come on. Correct the battery wire connections (replace the 1 amp fuse on control panels equipped with fuse).

If voltage of the battery is lower than DC 11 volts, the LOW battery indicator light will

come on and the buzzer sounds for the ALARM function. Battery should be checked by a battery shop.

5.Assemble back-up pump a minimum of 1" above the primary pump and tilt 30° (per Figure 1 below).

The enclosed pump includes a built-in check valve and screws directly into the side of the tee included.

The other two ends of the tee will accept 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" PVC and ABS pipe. An additional check valve (not included) must be installed between the primary pump and this pump. (See page four.)

The nylon belt with buckle, two rigid nylon straps and four screws are not needed and can be discarded.

6.Attach the float switch to the discharge pipe with a wire tie. Be sure that the turn off or down position of the float is above the suction inlet of this pump. Tether at 1-1/4." Insert the plug of the float switch into the SENSOR socket of the control panel.

7.Insert the plug of the battery charger into the CHARGER socket of the control panel and plug the charger into an AC-115 volt power outlet (Figure 3 on page five).
