Maintenance; Troubleshooting Information - Zoeller AQUANOT 508 Fit Installation Instructions Manual

1. Inspect and test the system for proper operations at least every 3
months.*
(a) Green "system ready" indicator light should be on, indicating AC
power is on and there are no alarm conditions.
(b) Unplug the primary pump and the controller from the power supply.
(c) Fill the sump with water to the "on" level for the DC pump. Allow
the pump to run a few minutes.
(d) The alarm will sound approximately 1 second after the pump starts
to run.
(e) Push the Silence/Reset button. The alarm will turn off.
(f) The pump will shut off after the water level is lowered and the
operational float drops to the "off" position.
To perform a Factory Reset, hold the Silence and Test buttons together. A Factory Reset restores all settings to their original setting. Be sure all
switches, pump, battery and AC connections are good before the Factory Reset.
1. DC Pump won't run.
(a) Check for proper connections.
(b) Check all wire terminal points. Clean if required.
(c) Check for low battery. Service battery if required.
(d) Check 30 amp fuse on controller (see fig. 3). If fuse is blown, replace
with 30 amp automotive blade fuse.
(e) Remove pump. Check for obstruction in pump preventing impeller
from rotating.
(f) Float switch was not "on" for more than 1 second. A quick up/
down of a switch will not turn the pump on because the controller
is designed with "splash activation protection".
(g) During a float fault, the operational float is disregarded until the
controller is reset.
2. Pump runs but moves very little or no water.
(a) Check for low battery. Battery will recharge if green System Ready
LED indicates power has been restored and the float switch is in
the off position.
(b) If immediate usage is required, remove and replace dead battery
with a fully recharged battery.
(c) Under certain conditions the pump may continue to run on a low
battery without sufficient power to remove water. Pump will stop
running once battery is below minimum voltage threshold.
(d) Weak batteries can be recharged but may not store
CAUTION
sufficient energy for full service. A weak, recharged battery can
only be detected by reduced pumping time or by professional load
testing equipment. The battery should be checked by a qualified
battery dealer.
By connecting the Fit to the Z Control
notifications. In addition, the user can verify the Fit's readiness, remotely silence alarms and reset the unit, configure settings, and modify how
notifications are sent. Other visual information such as input status and battery level are available through the web and app interfaces.
There are 2 ways to connect the Aquanot Fit to the Z Control
1. The simplest method is to use the Z Control
2. T he second method is to use your mobile device or computer to connect to the Fit directly. Instructions for connecting directly are
provided below under "Use Your Mobile Device Or Computer To Connect Directly To The Fit Controller".
Use the Mobile App (iOS and Android)
Before you begin:
• K now what your WiFi network is named (i.e. its SSID) and its password. Double check you know the correct password and exactly how it
is spelled, including capitalization. This will prevent the most common troubleshooting issues.
• Verify that your mobile device has working WiFi and detects a strong signal from your WiFi network when you are standing next to the Fit.
If the signal is questionable, your network may not be able to provide a stable connection for the Fit.
• Verify your WiFi network is connected to the internet and that it is broadcasting a visible, secure, 2.4Ghz network.

(g) Hold Silence/Reset button for 3 seconds to reset the controller
and clear any alarms or indicators.
2. Plug the controller and the primary pump into the wall outlet.
(a) T he primary pump will come on, lower the water to the normal
operating level and shut off.
(b) T he battery light will be yellow when charging. The charger is
replacing the energy consumed during the test. The green light
will come on after the charger has replaced the energy consumed
during the test.
*Electrolyte levels in wet cell batteries should be checked monthly. Such a
check is not required for "maintenance free" battery types.
(e) Verify pump is connected completely.
(f) Check to make sure pump weep hole is clear and unit is not airlocked.
(g) Make sure discharge piping is not blocked.
3. Pump cycles too frequently.
(a) Check positions of rubber stops on the operational float rod and
adjust if necessary.
4. Pump runs, but pumps water intermittently.
(a) Pump may be air locking. Check flow of water incoming to sump. If
water is entering the sump at a high velocity creating a turbulent
condition, a mixture of air and water may cause a complete or partial
air lock and reduce or stop the flow of water in the discharge pipe.
(b) Baffle the incoming stream of water to reduce turbulence. Diverting
water stream against wall of basin usually corrects an air lock
problem.
5. Water level stays high. DC Pump continues to run.
(a) Battery is low or pump may have blockage in screen, impeller, or
piping system.
(b) If power has been restored and water in sump remains high check
primary pump. Service if required.
6. Alarm sounds during battery recharge cycle.
(a) To silence alarm if alarm will not reset, unplug the charger from
115 V wall outlet, then disconnect the black lead from charger
on negative (-) battery post. Check battery. Replace if necessary.
Reconnect and refer to Installation Instructions.
