the homeowner to address the problem.
If this warning light and alarm are on, the control box is not receiving AC power for one
of many reasons:
1. The control box is not plugged in
2. The power to the house is out
3. The circuit breaker to that outlet has been tripped
4. The ground fault interrupter on that outlet has been tripped
5. A power brownout is taking place
Power Failure Alarm slide switch
When the controller is not receiving AC power, the monitoring features and the audible
alarms are powered by the 9-volt battery. This type of battery will power the controller
for many hours, but not indefinitely. Once the source of the AC power alarm is
determined, it is suggested that the Power Failure Alarm slide switch be turned to the
OFF position until the power is restored. This will preserve the battery and silence the
alarm. When AC power is restored, slide this switch back to the ON position. Note: If
the AC power is restored and the slide switch is in the OFF position, the alarm and light for
the 9-volt battery warning will activate, even if the battery is good. This is a reminder to
reset the alarm. Slide the switch to the ON position. If the battery is good, the light will
go out. If the alarm continues to sound, replace the battery.
The system is operating
This light should be ON and flashing at all times. It is included to indicate that the
system is monitoring the sump conditions. This light will not illuminate when:
1. The power is out and the Power Failure Alarm slide switch is in the OFF position
2. The power is out and the 9V battery is discharged
3. The controller is not functioning. Contact the Glentronics service department
The 9-volt battery low or slide switch is OFF
1. The 9-volt battery located in the top of the control box is coming to the end of its
useful life. Replace it with a new 9-volt alkaline battery.
2. The Power Failure Alarm switch is in the OFF position. It must be in the ON position
at all times, except when silencing an actual power failure condition.
Pump or float problem
This key feature monitors the time that the float switch is up continuously or in the
activated position. It is unusual for a pump run for 10 or more minutes continuously.
This can occur for many different reasons. Either the float is stuck in the up position,
there is a mechanical problem with the pump, or there is a problem with the plumbing
connections. Please refer to the Troubleshooting Guide on page 5.
High water alarm (optional feature*)
When water reaches the optional water sensor, it will activate the warning light, audible
alarm, and remote terminal. The activation of the water sensor could indicate that there
is a failure of the main pump or plumbing problem. Please refer to the Troubleshooting
Guide on page 5.
*This feature requires the additional purchase of the water sensor (Model PS-WS).
Accessories for the Deluxe Controller –
Connect Modules and High Water Alarm
Connect Modules - WiFi Module – Home Automation Module
(Requires purchase of PS-WiFi or PS-HZM)
The Deluxe Controller is equipped with a USB data port. The purpose of this port is to
allow communication with the Pro Series Connect Modules. The Pro Series Connect
Modules are separately sold accessories that will allow the user to stay connected and
receive remote notifications of potential problems and needed maintenance while away
from home.
High Water Alarm - Accessory for the Deluxe Controller
(Requires the additional purchase of Model PS-WS)
Water Sensor
The water sensor is designed to warn you of a potential flood. If you are installing it in
the sump pit, it must to be installed between the basement floor and the primary float
switch. If there is a failure with either the main pump or the plumbing system, the water
level will rise past the primary float switch and activate the water sensor. When the
water sensor is activated, it will trigger a warning light, an audible alarm, and the
remote terminal on the controller. This water sensor is only designed to give you a
warning of a potential problem; it will not activate the primary pump.
Maintenance Check List
Maintenance should be performed 1-2 times per year.
1. Remove all debris from the bottom of the pit and make sure the
pump's strainer is clear of debris.
2. Remove all debris floating in the water.
3. Remove all debris from the float switch and float switch cage.
4. Fill the pit with water. Make sure pump turns on at the intended level.
5. While the pump is running, make sure pump is evacuating water at a good pace.
6. While the pump is running, make sure a stream of water is escaping from the air
bleed hole. If not, clear the hole of any deposits or debris.
Backup Installation
When the power goes out, the
Pro Series AC sump pump will not
operate. For protection during a
power outage, a Pro Series battery
backup system should be installed.
There are three systems with
matching batteries that will
provide protection. The
illustration at right is an example
of a typical battery backup
installation.
