GENERAL INFORMATION
The Battery-Powered Back-up Sump Pump is not a sub-
stitute 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 operation. Do not use it to pump flammable
liquids or chemicals. If pumping salt water, flush the
pump with clear water after use.

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 ac-
tuated) operation, 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
button is held down. Pushing ALARM TEST/RESET button
to test alarm overrides lockout, so alarm can be tested at
any time.
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 interrupted. 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.
After power is restored, charger will automatically re-
charge battery fully in about six hours.
NOTICE: If battery has not reached a satisfactory voltage
after 24 hours of charging, alarm will sound. In this case
alarm cannot be reset. Possible causes are:
PROBLEM
Back-up pump has run
Power out more than
24 hours
Continuous charging
more than 24 hours
Loose connection or
no power to charger
After restoring power or replacing battery, alarm can be
reset.
