STEP 1:
Disconnect the power to the primary sump pump so the only pump available is the Battery Backup
Sump Pump.
STEP 2:
With a garden hose or buckets of water fill the sump basin with water. At the designated level of wa-
ter, the Battery Backup Sump Pump should activate and the ALARM and ALARM INDICATOR LIGHT
should come on. This indicates the system is working.
STEP 3:
Press the RESET button on the control/alarm panel and reconnect power to the primary sump pump.
The test is complete.
NOTE: If the Battery Backup Sump Pump failed to activate, review the complete instructions.
The Battery Backup Sump Pump is designated as an emergency back up pump in the event your pri-
mary sump pump fails or if there is a loss of power to your primary sump pump.
THE BATTERY BACKUP SUMP PUMP IS NOT INTENDED FOR USE AS A PRIMARY SUMP PUMP.
PRIMARY SUMP PUMP FAILURE
In the event your primary sump pump fails or loses power, the Battery Backup System will automatically
activate when the float switch reaches the ON position. When it turns on, a alarm will sound and the
alarm indicator will light. When the water in the sump basin recedes and the pump turns off, the alarm
will continue to sound until you depress the ON/OFF switch to the on/off switch to the ON position and
press the REST button.
BATTERY LOW
In the event 12 volt battery charge should drop lower than 11 volts, the alarm will sound and the BAT-
TERY LOW indicator will light. Press the ON/OFF switch to OFF position, disconnect power to the 12
volt transformer from the GFCI outlet and disconnect the pump and float switch cords from the alarm/
control panel plugs. Have the battery checked, serviced or replaced if necessary. Once 12 volt battery is
serviced or replaced, reconnect all plugs, cables and power and follow the Test Procedures listed in this
owners manual.
BATTERY CHARGING/CHARGED
When the battery is not at full charge capacity, the BATTERY CHARGING indicator will light. The battery
charging is simply recharging the battery to its full charged capacity. Once the battery has reached full
charging capacity (13 volts) the CHARGED indicator will light.
If neither the BATTERY CHARGING or CHARGED indicator lights are on, check all wire connections
and plugs to ensure proper hook up.
LEADS REVERSED
If you connect the battery cable to the wrong battery terminal, the LEADS REVERSED indicator will
light. Simply remove the battery cable and reconnect to the proper battery terminals. The RED WIRE is
connected to the positive (+) terminal and the BLACK wire is connected to the negative (-) terminal.
You must replace the 1 amp fuse with the extra fuse provided. Simply turn the fuse cover counter clock-
wise until the burnt fuse is exposed. Replace the fuse and thread the fuse cover, turning clockwise.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
The 12 volt marine battery should be tested every four to six months. It is recommended to replace the
battery every three to four years. Follow the battery manufacturers recommendations for proper battery
maintenance and battery replacement.
