INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
SEE BELOW FOR
LIST OF WARNINGS
1. Make certain that the receptacle is within the reach of the pump’s power supply cord.
Do not use primary pump circuit. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Extension
cords that are too long or too light do not deliver sufcient voltage to the pump motor.
But, more important, they could present a safety hazard if the insulation were to
become damaged or the connection end were to fall into the sump.
2. Make sure the pump electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses or circuit breakers
of proper capacity. A separate branch circuit is recommended, sized according to
the “National Electrical Code” for the current shown on the pump nameplate.
3. Testing for ground. As a safety measure, each electrical outlet should be checked for
ground using an Underwriters Laboratory Listed circuit analyzer which will indicate
if the power, neutral and ground wires are correctly connected to your outlet. If they
are not, call a qualied licensed electrician.
4. For Added Safety. Pumping and other equipment with a 3-prong grounded plug must
be connected to a 3-prong grounded receptacle. For added safety the receptacle
may be protected with a ground-fault circuit interrupter. When a pump needs to be
connected in a watertight junction box, the plug can be removed and spliced to the
supply cable with proper grounding. For added safety this circuit may be protected
by a ground-fault circuit interrupter. The complete installation must comply with the
National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.
5. FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP FROM ITS POWER
SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING. Single phase pumps are supplied with a 3-prong
grounded plug to help protect you against the possibility of electrical shock. DO
NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES REMOVE THE GROUND PIN. The 3-prong
plug must be inserted into a mating 3-prong grounded receptacle. If the installation
does not have such a receptacle, it must be changed to the proper type, wired and
grounded in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local
codes and ordinances.
6. The tank is to be vented in accordance with local plumbing code. Pumps must be
installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes
and ordinances. Pumps are not to be installed in locations classied as hazardous
in accordance with National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.
7. “Risk of electrical shock” Do not remove power supply cord and strain relief
or connect conduit directly to the pump.
8. Installation and servicing of electrical circuits and hardware should be performed by
a qualied licensed electrician.
9. Pump installation and servicing should be performed by a qualied person.
10. Risk of electric shock - These pumps have not been investigated for use in swimming
pool and marine areas.
11. According to the state of California (Prop 65), this product contains chemicals known
to the state of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.
12. It is the owner’s responsibility to check the battery and battery connection at least
once a month. Batteries contain acid and caution must be taken when handling.
1. Check to be sure your power source is capable of handling the voltage requirements
of the motor, as indicated on the pump name plate.
2. The installation of automatic pumps with variable level oat switches or nonau-
tomatic pumps using auxiliary variable level oat switches is the responsibility of
the installing party and care should be taken that the tethered oat switch will
not hang up on the pump apparatus or pit peculiarities and is secured so that the
pump will shut off. It is recommended to use rigid piping and ttings and the pit
be 18" or larger in diameter.
3. Information - vent hole purpose. It is necessary that all submersible sump, efuent,
and sewage pumps capable of handling various sizes of solid waste be of the
bottom intake design to reduce clogging and seal failures. If a check valve is
incorporated in the installation, a vent hole (approx. 3/16") must be drilled in the
discharge pipe below the check valve and pit cover to purge the unit of trapped
air. Trapped air is caused by agitation and/or a dry basin. Vent hole should be
checked periodically for clogging. The 50 Series pumps have a vent located in
the pump housing opposite the oat, adjacent to a housing lug, but an additional
vent hole is recommended. If you choose not to drill a vent hole, be sure the
pump case and impeller is covered with liquid before connecting the pipe to the
check valve and no inlet carries air to the pump intake. NOTE: THE HOLE
MUST ALSO BE BELOW THE BASIN COVER AND CLEANED PERIODICALLY.
Water stream will be visible from this hole during pump run periods.
4. Pump should be checked frequently for debris and/or build up which may interfere
with the oat “on” or “off” position. Repair and service should be performed by
Zoeller Pump Company Authorized Service Station only.
5. Dewatering and efuent sump pumps are not designed for use in pits handling
raw sewage.
6. Maximum operating temperature must not exceed 104ºF (40ºC).
7. Do not operate a pump in an application where the Total Dynamic Head is less
than the minimum Total Dynamic Head listed on the Pump Performance Curves.
8. For indoor use only.
9. DC emergency pumps are designed for handling clear water. Do not use in septic
tanks to pump efuent or sewage pits to pump sewage.
10. Repair and service of your DC backup system should be performed by an
authorized service station.
11. The installation of DC automatic backup pumps requires the use of a variable level
oat switch for operation. It is the responsibility of the installing party, to ensure
that the oat switch will not hang up on the pump apparatus or pit peculiarities and
is secured so the pump will turn “on” and “off”. It is recommended that the pit be
18" in diameter or larger to accommodate both a primary and a DC backup pump.
NOTE: Pumps with the “UL” mark and pumps with the “US” mark are tested to UL Standard UL778.
CSA Certied pumps are certied to CSA Standard C22.2 No. 108.

The DC emergency pump is designed as a backup to your primary sump pump during unexpected power outages or primary pump failure. The DC
pump, electronic controls and all the parts required for installation are included except the battery which is supplied by the user. The system is designed
for installation in sumps with minimum of 18" diameter and 24" deep. For 18" x 22" applications, consult factory.
DESCRIPTION
The DC emergency pump system requires a good quality, 12 volt battery to obtain maximum pumping time during a power outage. A deep-cycle, 12
volt, 105 amp-hour marine battery or larger is recommended and will provide approximately 7½ hours of continuous pumping time in a sump pump
installation with 8' of head pressure. In most installations the pump runs intermittently and the battery life is extended accordingly. Batteries with top
terminals are recommended for ease of installation. These batteries contain acid and proper precaution must be taken when handling. Maximum bat-
tery size 12½" Length x 7" Width x 9½" Height.
BATTERY SELECTION
There are millions of batteries manufactured each year, so it is impossible to guarantee consistent quality. A defective battery will never become fully
charged and may damage the charging circuits of the Control. It is for this reason that Zoeller offers its own line of batteries. We offer both a Water/
Acid Deep-Cycle Battery which can run the pump continuously for over 7½ hours, and a Maintenance-Free AGM Battery, which will power the pump for
over 3½ hours. These times are based on continuous pumping at 10' of static head. Actual times will vary depending on static head, volume of water
entering the pit, and the condition of the battery.
Follow these recommendations:
Use a B.C.I. size 27 deep-cycle battery, 175 minute reserve capacity, or larger
Do NOT use a “maintenance-free” battery unless it is a Gel-filled or AGM battery
Replace your battery every 3 years
Do not let corrosion build up on the battery terminals
Do not place your battery on a concrete floor where it will discharge faster
To check specific gravity, follow the instructions on a hydrometer (not applicable for Gel or AGM batteries)
PROTECT YOUR WARRANTY:
Water level in batteries must be checked once a month (not applicable for Gel or AGM batteries)

EASY DO'S & DON'TS FOR INSTALLING A SUMP PUMP
1. DO read thoroughly all installation material provided with the system.
2. DO inspect system for any visible damage caused by shipping. Contact
dealer if system appears to be damaged.
3. DO clean all debris from the sump. Be sure that the pump will have a hard,
at surface beneath it. DO NOT install on sand, gravel or dirt.
4. DO be sure that the sump is large enough to allow proper clearance for the
level control switch(es) to operate properly.
5. DO Always Disconnect Pump From Power Source Before Handling.
DO always connect to a separately protected and properly grounded circuit.
DO NOT ever cut, splice, or damage power cord (Only splice in a watertight
junction box).
DO NOT carry or lift pump by its power cord.
DO NOT use an extension cord with a sump pump.
6. DO install a union in the discharge line.
DO NOT use a discharge pipe smaller than the pump discharge.
7. DO NOT use a sump pump as a trench or excavation pump, or for pumping
sewage, gasoline, or other hazardous liquids.
8. DO test system immediately after installation to be sure that the system is
working properly.
9. DO cover sump with an adequate sump cover.
10. DO review all applicable local and national codes and verify that the installation
conforms to each of them.
11. DO consult manufacturer for clarications or questions.
12. DO inspect and test system for proper operations at least every three months.
The DC controller is equipped with a 10 amp charger for maintaining the battery in a ready state and recharging the battery after use when AC power
is restored. Time for recharge depends upon the amount of power consumed by the pumping cycle during the AC power interruption. The pump may
go back to the ready run position in a very short period of time. A completely drained battery may require up to 24 hours for full recharge. If after 24
hours of charging the battery has not reached 6 volts, the alarm will sound and not reset until the battery is brought up to a voltage of 6.5-7.0 volts.

INSTALLATION
5. Connect the leads from the control charger to the battery terminals. Red
pos. (+) lead to positive terminal and black neg. (-) lead to negative battery
terminal. Upon proper connection, test alarm will sound. Press alarm
reset to silence. This indicates proper charger to battery connection.
Correct battery hook up is essential for operation of the
system. Use nuts supplied with battery and eyelet connectors on battery
wire leads. The positive terminal is the larger stud, 3/8" diameter. The
smaller stud, 5/16" diameter is the negative terminal. Apply grease to the
terminals to help prevent corrosion.
6. Connect the black lead from the pump to the negative (-) battery terminal.
Connect the white or red lead from the pump to the white lead from the
switch. This connection is made at the fuse installed on the switch wire
(see gure 3). Connect the black lead from the switch to the positive (+)
battery terminal.
7. Connect the blue sensor wire to the sensor connector (gure 3).
8. Close battery box and secure cover. Carpeted or wood barrier between
the battery case and the oor is recommended.
9. Plug the control power cord into the 115V wall outlet. The primary sump
pump and the control box should be on separate circuits.
10. Reconnect power to primary sump pump.
1. The preferred method of installation for backup pumps is shown in gure 1.
The installation kit includes one check valve for installing with the backup
pump discharging into the primary pump outlet pipe. An additional check
valve is incorporated in the discharge of the backup pump.
2. Select location for battery and control charger. Control charger must be
within 6' of a 115V wall outlet and within 6' of pump and basin. Connect to
a separate circuit, different than the primary pump.
3. Make certain the oat switch clamp is tight on the pipe to avoid slippage.
Use electrical tape below the clamp to help prevent the clamp from moving.
Ensure that the “off” level of the oat is 1" min. above the discharge tee of
the DC backup pump (see gure 1). Position pumps in the sump and move
oat up and down, making sure of free movement without interference from
any obstructions inside the sump or lid. Very shallow sumps may require
some adjustment to avoid overlling or backing up of water into the sump
inlet. The oat switch can be moved on the discharge pipe or the rubber
stops can be adjusted as necessary. Cut extra oat rod length below lower
oat stop to prevent debris from interfering with oat operation (see gure 2).
4. Install DC control charger (see gure 3) by using the wall bracket and
anchors provided. If more convenient, the control charger may be set on
a nearby shelf or ledge. The control charger should be located 3 or 4 ft.
above the sump. To reduce noise from vibration, it is recommended that
the charger be anchored with the wall bracket provided.
INITIAL START-UP AND OPERATION
1. Test the installation for leaks by running water into the sump allowing for
normal operation of the primary pump.
2. Check the control charger. The “red” power on light will be lit when the unit
is plugged into the 115V wall outlet. The “yellow/green” light will indicate
the condition of the battery.
3. Disconnect primary pump before touching any component in the sump pit.
4. Lift oat switch. The DC backup pump will run and the alarm will sound.
Lower oat switch immediately after pump has started running. Pump is
running dry during initial check out for several seconds.
Continuous dry running may cause overheating and damage the pump
seals. Upon release of the oat switch, the pump will shut off. Press the
reset button to turn the alarm off.
5. Complete the nal testing of your installation by disconnecting the power
to the primary pump and the control charger by removing the plugs from
the 115V wall outlets. Run water into the sump until the DC backup pump
is activated by the oat switch. Check all connections for leaks.
6. Push alarm reset switch when pump is running. This will silence the alarm.
The pump will continue to run.
7. Reconnect the control charger and your primary pump to the AC wall outlets.
The primary pump should come on and lower the water level in the sump
back to the normal operating level and shut off. Both primary and backup
systems are now ready for use.
8. The battery charged and charging LED’s will alternate during normal
charging operation.
MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect and test the system for proper operations at least every 3 months.
(a) Red power on indicator light should be “on” indicating AC
power is on.
(b) Unplug primary pump and the control charger from power supply.
(c) Fill sump with water to the “on” level for the DC pump. Allow
pump to run a few minutes.
(d) The alarm will sound approximately 5 seconds after the pump
starts to run.
(e) Push alarm reset switch. The alarm will go “off”.
(f) Pump will shut off after water level is lowered and the float drops
to the off position.
2. Plug the control charger and the primary pump into the wall outlet.
(a) The primary pump will come on and lower the water to the
normal operating level and shut off.
(b) The “yellow” charging light should be on. 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.
3. Battery should be agitated gently every 3 months.
Battery acid is dangerous. Take proper safety precautions. Do not
splash the acid. Add distilled water to battery when necessary per
battery manufacturer's instructions.

ELECTRICAL PRECAUTIONS- Before servicing a pump, always shut off the main power breaker and then unplug the pump - making
sure you are wearing insulated protective sole shoes and not standing in water. Under ooded conditions, contact your local electric company or a
qualied licensed electrician for disconnecting electrical service prior to pump removal.
Submersible pumps contain oils which becomes pressurized and hot under operating conditions - allow 2½ hours after disconnecting before
attempting service.
If the above checklist does not uncover the problem, consult the factory - Do not attempt to service or otherwise disassemble pump. Service must be
performed by Zoeller Authorized Service Stations. Go to www.zoellerpumps.com/service stations to nd the Authorized Service Station in your area.
SERVICE CHECKLIST
TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION
1. Charging and charged LED’s alternate frequently.
(a) This is normal.
2. DC Pump won’t run.
(a) Check 15 amp fuse in line from pump to switch (see g. 4). If fuse
is blown, replace with 15 amp Littelfuse type 3AG, series 311.
(b) Check for proper connections.
(c) Check all wire terminal points. Clean if required.
(d) Check for low battery. Service battery if required.
3. Pump runs but pumps very little or no water.
(a) Check for low battery. Battery will recharge if Red power “on”
light indicates power has been restored and the oat switch is
in the off position.
(b) If immediate usage is required, remove and replace dead
battery with a full recharged battery.
(c) Due to varying conditions the pump may continue to run on a
low battery without sufcient power to remove water. Pump will
not stop running until battery is completely discharged.
(d) Weak batteries can be recharged but may
not store sufcient energy for full service. A weak recharged
battery can only be detected by reduced pumping time or by
checking each cell with a hydrometer. If your emergency pump
system is used frequently the battery should be checked by a
qualied battery dealer.
4. Pump cycles too frequently.
(a) Check positions of rubber stops on oat rod.
(b) Adjust upper rubber oat stop as required. Recommended for
standard installation.
5. Float switch in “on” position. Pump won’t run.
(a) Remove pump. Check for obstruction in pump preventing
impeller from rotating.
6. Pump runs, but pumps water intermittently.
(a) Pump is air locking. Check ow 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 ow of water in the
discharge pipe.
(b) Bafe the incoming stream of water to reduce turbulence.
Diverting water stream against wall of basin usually corrects an
air lock problem.
7. Water level stays high. DC Pump continues to run.
(a) Battery is low.
(b) If power has been restored and water in sump remains high
check primary pump. Service if required.
(c) After several hours the battery will be restored to full charge.
8. Alarm sounds during battery recharge cycle.
(a) Push alarm reset (max. 3 times). If condition persists, replace
battery.
(b) To silence alarm if alarm will not reset, unplug the charger from
115V wall outlet, then disconnect the black lead from charger on
negative (-) battery post. Check battery. Replace if necessary.
Reconnect and refer to Installation (step 7).
CONDITION COMMON CAUSES
A. Pump will not start or run.
Check fuse, low voltage, overload open, open or incorrect wiring, open switch, impeller or seal bound mechanically, motor
or wiring shorted. Float assembly held down. Switch, damaged or out of adjustment.
B. Motor overheats and trips
overload or blows fuse.
Incorrect voltage, negative head (discharge open lower than normal) impeller or seal bound mechanically, motor shorted.
C. Pump starts and stops too often.
Float switch tether length too short, check valve stuck open, or none installed in long distance line, overload open, bidding,
sump pit too small.
D. Pump will not shut off.
Debris under oat assembly, oat bound by basin sides or other, switch, damaged or out of adjustment.
E. Pump operates but delivers little
or no water.
Check inlet, strainer housing, discharge pipe, and vent holes for obstructions. Discharge head exceeds pump capacity.
Low or incorrect voltage. Incoming water containing air or causing air to enter pumping chamber. Incorrect motor rotation.
(3 phase pumps only)
F. Drop in head and/or capacity
after a period of use.
Increased pipe friction, clogged line or check valve. Abrasive material and adverse chemicals could possibly deteriorate
impeller and pump housing. Check line. Remove base and inspect.
G. If tank or ttings leak.
Carefully tighten pipe joints (use pipe dope) and screws. Check gasket location, tighten lid evenly. Do not over tighten
ttings or screws.

CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS
Whether you have a “Basement Sentry®” Backup Pump System, or a competitive brand, all use batteries that give off gaseous by-products when charging.
Some of these by-products can produce a rotten egg odor. Also, some of these by-products can cause a CO detector to falsely activate. In order to help
prevent false activation, Zoeller Company recommends moving the battery as far apart from the CO detector as possible or, if necessary, vent the battery to the
exterior. Zoeller Company provides the previous statements only as guidelines to help prevent false activation of the CO detector. In no way are they meant
to supersede the instructions that accompany the detector nor do they supersede advice from the CO detector manufacturer.
If the audible alarm associated with your CO detector is activated, we recommend the following actions:
1) Take immediate action for personal safety as recommended in the CO detector literature.
2) Contact the appropriate agency to determine if the CO is being produced by your furnace, water heater, or any other device which uses natural gas.
3) If you are certain that no CO is being produced, then a charging battery may be producing gaseous by-products which are causing the CO detector
to activate. Contact the manufacturer and ask for recommendations as to what can be done to prevent the alarm activation.
