Control Unit Hookup

1. Positioning the control
Position the control unit in a secure
place approximately four feet (4')
above the floor. Be sure the power
cord will reach the AC power outlet
and the pump cable and the float
switch will reach the bottom of the
sump. Position the unit in a well-
ventilated area. (Diagram D)
2. Positioning the float switch: The
float switch will turn on the pump when
the water rises to the top of the switch,
and it will remain running as long as
the water is above the float switch.
When the water drops below the float,
the internal timer in the control unit will
keep the pump running an additional
30-40 seconds to empty the sump pit.
The switch should be mounted six
inches (6") above the activation level
of the main AC pump. Attach the float
switch very securely to the discharge
pipe of the backup pump with the
plastic wire tie. (If you are stacking the
pumps in a narrow sump pit, the float
may be attached to the elbow of the
Pro Series backup pump.) Make sure
the switch is positioned vertically with
the mounting bracket at the top. Do
not tilt the switch. Do not position the
float switch on the side of the
discharge pipe facing the drain tile or
any incoming rush of water! Do not
position it next to the power cord of the
AC pump.

3. Installing the battery fluid sensor:

Replace the battery cap that is 2nd
from the POSITIVE (+) post of the
battery with the battery cap that is
provided in the Pro Series sump pump
package. An arrow on the top of the
battery marks this position. There are
two holes in the battery cap. Insert the
fluid sensor in the hole that is off-
center on the top of the cap. Do not
glue the sensor into the cap. If you are
not using the Pro Series 2200 Standby
Battery, you cannot use the battery
fluid sensor. However you must attach
unit:
the sensor to the POSITIVE (+) post of
the battery or the alarm will sound
continuously. The Pro Series Sump
Pump System will not warn you if the
fluid level is low in this configuration.
You will need to check your battery
monthly to see if it needs water.

4. Hooking up the pump:

pump wires into the pump connector
on the back of the control unit.

5. Hooking up the battery:

the wing nuts. Coat the terminals with
a little petroleum jelly to prevent
corrosion. Attach the battery cables
to the battery...the BLACK wire to the
POSITIVE (+) post, the WHITE wire to
the NEGATIVE (-) post. Tighten the
wing nuts.
6. Immediately plug the AC power cord
into a grounded AC wall outlet.
surge protector that protects all three
pins on the power line is recommend-
ed.) You will have 10 seconds before
the power failure alarm will sound. The
alarm will be silenced once the unit is
plugged into the wall. At this time the
computer control unit will perform a
quick test of the battery and pump.
7. Put the cover on the battery box and
secure it with the safety strap.
