Firmware Updates
The Basement Sentry controller is capable
of OTA, or over-the-air firmware updates. It's
possible that the controller could perform an
update immediately if one is available at the Z
Control
Cloud. If an update is taking place, the
®
Z Control
LED will flicker for up to one minute

while the update is downloaded. The Z Control
Controller Set-Up
Your Basement Sentry controller is now online.
Be sure you have added the contact information
for phone numbers and email addresses that
should receive notification. This can done by
selecting "Manage Contacts" from the main menu
(the square with 3 lines in the upper right corner).
You can also edit how each device sends out
notifications from the device "Alarm Settings" tab.
START-UP AND OPERATION
The Basement Sentry controller is able to recognize potential air lock situations and remedy the issue
with an on/off/on/off/on routine which purges air from the pump. Other potential issues such as a stuck
float can also be sensed and resolved by the controller to prevent damage to the equipment.
In addition, the following LED functions provide a visual cue to the proper function of the DC pump:
•
The DC pump LED will stay yellow after pumping water, alerting you when the DC pump has
turned on and has pumped water.
•
If the the DC pump runs and does not pump water, the LED will not stay yellow. This can occur
during a test of the system when the float is lifted manually while the pump is above the water line.
This allows the system to be tested without having to reset it each time.
®
LED will be solid and all other LEDs will turn off
while the update is being installed. After up to
one minute, the controller will restart and return
to normal operation. The controller's alert history
on the Z Control
the firmware upgrade information, and notification
to email accounts will occur.
