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 PS/BC 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 15 seconds after the switch reaches the off position.

3.Press the green mute button once to silence the alarm for 4 hours, the red LED will flash 3 times to let you know the command was accepted.

MAINTENANCE

Unplug main AC pump and the charger. Risk of electrical shock!

Always disconnect the electrical supply before attempting to install,

service, relocate or per-form any maintenance. If the power source is out of sight, lock and tag in the open (off) position to prevent unexpected power application. Failure to do so could result in fatal electrical shock. Only qualified electricians should repair this unit. Improper repair could result in fatal electrical shock.

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.

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.

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

Follow battery manufacturer’s maintenance procedures and schedules. Be certain that the area around the batteries is well ventilated. Before servicing the batteries, blow away gasses by waving a piece of cardboard near the batteries.

1.Unplug the PS/BC.

2.For batteries with top caps that can be removed, the electrolyte level should be checked and filled to manufacturer’s specifications. The charge for each cell should be checked with a hydrometer. A specific gravity of 1.265 indicates the battery is at full charge. If the specific gravity of any of the cells varies more than .050, the battery should be replaced.

NOTE: An inexpensive hydrometer can be purchased at an automotive parts dealer.

3.Inspect the terminals and clamps for corrosion and tightness. Clean and tighten as required.

4.Unplug the main pump and fill sump with water until back up pump turns on. Repeat process two times to be sure pump is operating normally.

5.If pump operates normally, plug PS/ BC into wall outlet, turn on main pump. If pump fails to operate normally, see Troubleshooting guide and correct problem. Repeat step 5.
