GENERAL
INFORMATION
The Battery-Powered
Back-up Sump Pump is not a substitute
for your primary
sump
pump.
It is designed
as a backup
pump
to pinch-hit
for your primary
sump
pump
during
a
power
outage
or other
problem
which
prevents
normal
op-
eration.
Do not use it to pump
flammable
liquids or chemi-
cals.
Keep battery
charger
dry and protected
from damage.
In an emergency
(such
as an extended
power
outage)
which
depletes
the system
battery,
your automobile
battery
may be temporarily
substituted.
Be sure to replace
the sys-
tem battery
as soon as possible.
CHARGER
OPERATION
Backup
pump
will start automatically
when
sump
water
level rises far enough
to trip float switch.
After a delay of
about 4 seconds,
alarm will sound. Silence
alarm by pushing
ALARM TEST/RESET button.
In normal (switch
actuated)
op-
eration,
alarm is locked
out until about 4 seconds
after float
switch
has dropped
to OFF position;
cycle can then begin
again.
Test alarm
by pushing
ALARM TEST/RESET
button
when
alarm is not sounding.
Alarm will then sound
as long as but-
ton is held down.
Pushing
ALARM TEST/RESET
button
to
test alarm overrides
lockout,
so alarm can be tested
at any
tilne.
If alarm sounds,
check
operation
of primary pump, which
may need
service.
If battery
backup
operation
is due to a
power
outage,
alarm will sound,
but no service
is likely to
be required to primary pump.
Battery charger
has capacity
to run pump
and charge battery
at the same time as long as power
to the charger
is not in-
terrupted.
If power
to charger
circuit
is interrupted,
the
length
of time that the backup
pump
will run depends
on
the Ampere-hour
capacity
of the battery
used.
Extended
periods
of operation
(for example,
during an ex-
tended
power
outage)
may exhaust
the battery.
However,
once the load is removed,
usually
it will self-regenerate
far
enough
to allow the charger
to start. The battery
charger
will
begin charging
the battery
as long as the battery has a charge
of at least 1/2 volt, and power
is available
to the charger.
After power
is restored,
charger
will automatically
re-charge
battery
fully in about six hours.

trouble conditions
