FG-A1 Testing and Operation

FG-A1 Testing and Operation

TESTING

After installation, unplug the primary sump pump and fill the sump with water. This is actually imitating the condition that would happen if the power went off or the primary pump failed for whatever reason. The back-up sump pump should begin operation as the water level rises just above it’s top. If not, the float sensor may need to be re-positioned, review float installation instructions. Even after the back-up has pumped the excess water out and shut off, the alarm should continue sounding until the ALARM switch is set to the OFF position.

The alarm continues to sound until the ALARM switch is set to OFF to alert you that something is wrong with the primary sump pump.

If the back-up pump operates properly, plug in the primary sump pump and set the ALARM switch ON and press the RESET button. The back-up system is now in full readiness.

If the back-up pump does not operate as specified, refer to the most asked questions list.

OPERATION

When the FLOAT SWITCH turns the back-up pump ON, the alarm

buzzer will sound. When the FLOAT switch turns the backup OFF, the buzzer will continue to sound until the ALARM switch is pushed to the OFF position. Push the ALARM switch to the ON position. Press the RESET button for normal operation.

If the voltage of the battery drops lower than 11 volts DC, the LOW battery indicator will come on and the buzzer will sound if the ALARM switch is in the ON position. At this time, the battery should be checked and serviced or replaced. The only “real” test for a battery is when it is tested with a load meter. Take the battery back where it was purchased for the test. The CHARGING indicator will come ON when the battery is

UNDERCHARGED.

The CHARGING indicator will turn OFF when the DC voltage is over 13 volts, then the CHARGED indicator will come ON. At this time the battery is at FULL-CHARGED condition and will stop charging.

The CHARGED indicator will be ON until the DC voltage drops. The battery will start charging again and the CHARGING indicator will come ON. If either CHARGING indicator and CHARGED indicator are not ON, check the charger adapter for proper connection.

Near the end of the CHARGING cycle, the CHARGING and CHARGED indicators may alternately blink. If the lights blink continuously, check the battery leads for proper polarity (Step 4) and replace the fuse.

Press PUMP TEST switch for pump function test: the pump comes ON and ALARM indicator comes ON and BUZZER sounds. Release the PUMP TEST switch, the pump turns OFF but the BUZZER continues to sound and ALARM indicator continues to be ON. Press the RESET switch, the BUZZER and ALARM indicator light will turn OFF.
