BATTERY PRECAUTIONS

Use extreme caution when installing, servicing and
disposing of batteries. All performance testing on
this battery backup system was done with a 120AH
maintenance free battery (Group 27), using any
battery with a lower rating will decrease both
runtime and pumping performance.
CAUTION: Do not dispose of batteries in a fire.
The batteries may explode. CAUTION: Do not open
or mutilate the batteries. Released electrolyte is
harmful to the skin and eyes. It may be toxic.
CAUTION: A battery can present a risk of electri-
cal shock and high short circuit current. The follow-
ing precautions should be observed when working
on batteries.
1. Remove watches, rings, or other metal objects.
2. Use tools with insulated handles.
3. Do not lay tools or metal objects on top of
batteries.
4. Wear safety goggles and a face shield.
CAUTION: If electrolyte contacts the skin, wash it
off immediately. If electrolyte contacts the eyes,
flush thoroughly and immediately with water. Seek
medical attention. Spilled electrolyte should be
washed down with a suitable acid neutralizing agent.
CAUTION: Lead acid batteries can present a risk
of fire:
1. Do not smoke when near batteries
2. Do not cause flame or spark in battery area.
3. Discharge static electricity from body before
touching batteries by first touching a grounded
metal surface.
4. See battery manufacturers' installation manual
for additional installation maintenance, and
safety instructions.
INSTALLATION
Follow these step by step instructions to install the
Alpha Battery Backup System. If you have any ques-

TOOLS NEEDED:

Pipe wrench

Flat head screw driver

Hand saw

Tape measure
MATERIALS NEEDED:

1.5" Inch Check valve

Appropriate PVC fittings

PVC primer and glue

PUMP INSTALLATION:

CAUTION: Make sure the pump is disconnected
from any power source prior to installation.
1. Find a suitable position for the pump that is
away from other equipment that can obstruct its
operation such as the primary pump, switch or
even the drain tile.
2. When sharing the same discharge pipe you must
use a separate dedicated check valves with each
pump to prevent the water from cycling back
into the pit as shown in (Figure A) below
3. Using PVC piping and check valve connect the
pump to the existing or a dedicated discharge
pipe as shown in (Figure B).
