Operation

CHARGER/BATTERY OPERATION
The backup pump will activate automatically when the
backup sump water level rises far enough to trip the float
switch.
If the power to the charger circuit is interrupted, the
length of time that the backup pump will run depends on
the Ampere-hour capacity of the battery used, the battery
charge level, and the vertical pumping distance.
Extended periods of operation (for example, during an
extended power outage) may exhaust the battery. Follow
the battery manufacturer's recommendations for the
maintenance and safe use of the battery.
The Stages of the Charging Process:
See Table II:
1. Yellow light: The battery is being charged.
2. Green light: System is operational and ready for use.
3. Red light: Pump has been in operation. System
continutes to operate.

BATTERY REQUIREMENTS

Hazardous electrical current. Can cause
severe burns and start a fire if battery terminals are short
circuited. Install the battery in the battery box. To prevent
accidental shorting across the battery terminals, close the
cover of the battery box securely.
Severe burn hazard. A filled battery contains
sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with skin, eyes or clothing.
NOTICE: To protect the battery case from chipping and
gouging, do not let the battery box sit on the concrete
floor. Install the battery box on a shelf or protective pad
(plywood, 2x4s, etc.). Always install the battery in a dry
location that is protected from flooding.
Explosion and Fire Hazard. Battery fumes
are explosive. Place battery in a well ventilated area and
away from open flames such as a pilot light.
Follow the battery manufacturer's recommendations for
maintenance and safe use of battery.
Do not leave the battery box open. Do not allow children
to play around the battery backup system installation.
Your backup sump pump depends on the battery used
with it for power. The better the battery, the better the
performance of the pump. We recommend the use of a
size 27M Deep Cycle Marine Battery or a size 24M
Deep Cycle Marine Battery. They will stand up well to
long periods of little or no use.
Use of a standard automobile battery with this charger is
not recommended. An automobile battery may require
charging after only 1-2 hours of continuous use, and the
repeated charging cycles may cause early plate failure in
the battery.
Use only a battery of the type and size recommended so
it will fit in the battery box (maximum size 12.75" long,
8" wide and 9.5" high including terminals) and supply
enough voltage for full performance.
