(b) Unplug primary pump and the control charger from power

supply.

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 ﬂ oat

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 charg er is

replacing the energy con sumed during the test. The “green”

light will come on af ter the charg er has replaced the energy

con sumed during the test.

3. Battery should be agitated gen tly every 3 months.

Battery acid is dangerous. Take prop er safety pre cau tions. Do

not splash the acid. Add dis tilled water to battery when nec es sary

per battery man u fac tur er's instructions.

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 ﬁ g. 5).

If fuse is blown, re place with 15 amp Littelfuse type 3AG,

series 311.

(b) Check for proper connections.

(d) Check for low battery. Service battery if re quired.

3. Pump runs but pumps very little or no water.

(a) Check for low battery. Battery will recharge if Red power

“on” light in di cates power has been re stored and the ﬂ oat

switch is in the off po si tion.

(b) If immediate usage is required, remove and re place dead

battery with a full recharged bat tery.

on a low battery without sufﬁ cient power to remove wa-

ter. Pump will not stop running until bat tery is completely

dis charged.

(d) Weak batteries can be re charged but

may not store sufﬁ cient energy for full serv ice. A weak

recharged battery can only be detected by reduced pump-

ing time or by check ing each cell with a hy drome ter. If your

emer gency pump sys tem is used fre quently the bat tery

should be checked by a qualiﬁ ed bat tery dealer.

4. Pump cycles too frequently.

(a) Check positions of rubber stops on ﬂ oat rod.

(b) Adjust upper rubber ﬂ 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 pre vent ing

im pel ler from rotating.

6. Pump runs, but pumps water intermittently.

(a) Pump is air locking. Check ﬂ ow of water in com ing to

sump. If water is entering the sump at a high ve loc ity cre-

ating a turbulent con di tion, a mixture of air and water may

cause a complete or partial air lock and reduce or stop the

ﬂ ow of water in the dis charge pipe.

(b) Bafﬂ e the incoming stream of water to re duce tur bu lence.

Di vert ing water stream against wall of basin usually cor-

rects an air lock problem.

The DC controller is equipped with a 10 amp charger for main tain ing the battery in a ready state and re charg ing 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 inter-

rup tion. The pump may go back to the ready run position in a very short period of time. A com pletely 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.

Checklist

Performance

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 rec om mended 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 battery size 12½" Length x 7" Width x 9½" Height.

The DC pump performance with fully charged 12V battery

The DC emergency pump is designed as a backup to your primary sump pump during unexpected power out ages or primary pump failure.

The DC pump, elec tronic controls and all the parts required for in stal la tion are included except the battery which is supplied by the user.

The system is de signed for installation in sumps with minimum of 18" di ame ter and 24" deep. For 18" x 22" applications, consult factory.

Description

Troubleshooting Information, continued

7. Water level stays high. DC Pump continues to run.

(a) Battery is low.

(b) If power has been restored and water in sump re mains high

check primary pump. Service if re quired.

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 14).

Installation

moved on the discharge pipe or the rubber stops can be adjusted

as necessary. Cut extra ﬂ oat rod length below lower ﬂ oat stop to

prevent debris from interfering with ﬂ oat operation.

12. If the old primary pump discharge piping is being replaced with

PVC piping, duplicate the old pipe dimensions and use the exist-

ing drainage connection. If the primary pump and backup pump

is a new installation, the drainage connection must be determined

and the discharge pipes ﬁ tted accordingly. Solvent weld the up-

per portion of the discharge pipe into the PVC tee outlet (see

ﬁ gures 1 and 2). Connect the discharge pipe into the drainage

connection. The pipe must be supported from above to ensure

adequate support for the pump assembly. Reinstall pumps in

sump pit with discharge back to its original position.

13. Install DC control charger (see ﬁ 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.

14. Connect the leads from the control charger to the battery termi-

nals. 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

wing 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.

15. 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 ﬁ gure 3). Connect the black lead

from the switch to the positive (+) battery terminal.

16. Connect the blue sensor wire to the sensor connector (ﬁ gure 3).

17. Close battery box and secure cover with the safety closure strap

provided. Carpeted or wood barrier between the battery case

and the ﬂ oor is recommended.

18. Plug the control power cord into the 115V wall outlet. The primary

sump pump and the control box should be on separate circuits.

19. Reconnect power to primary sump pump.

1. The preferred method of installation for backup pumps is shown in

ﬁ gures 1 and 2. The installation kit includes the necessary ﬁ ttings

and one check valve for installing with the backup pump discharg-

ing into the primary pump outlet pipe. An additional check valve is

incorporated in the discharge of the backup pump.

2. Remove all parts from shipping carton and make sure all parts are

included. Refer to checklist on page 3.

3. 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.

4. If primary pump is installed, disconnect power. If the primary pump

is a column pump with adjustable ﬂ oat, and you are installing per

ﬁ gure 2, check the “on” point and adjust to approximately 7 ½" from

bottom of pump (see ﬁ gure 2). Mark the discharge pipe 7" above

the “on” point of the primary column pump or 7" above the top of

the primary submersible pump.

5. If existing discharge pipe is metal or ﬂ exible tubing, it will need to

be replaced with SCH. 40 PVC piping. Use a male adapter for

connecting to the primary pump outlet.

6. Remove the discharge pipe and cut off at the mark determined in

step 4. Remove an additional 8" from the bottom portion.

7. Screw the discharge pipe into the primary pump outlet. Tighten

with strap wrench.

8. Assemble discharge ﬁ ttings per ﬁ gure 4. Note: Pump must be

glued into tee ﬁ tting on a 30° angle to avoid air locking (see ﬁ gure

4). Rotate pump while gluing until the line on the discharge is

facing up. Use a commercial grade of PVC cleaner and solvent

cement (not furnished with kit) on the socket joints.

9. Install the pump and discharge assembly per ﬁ gure 1 or 2.

10. Assemble the ﬂ oat assembly per ﬁ gure 5.

11. Install the ﬂ oat switch assembly bracket above the outlet tee using

the clamp provided (see ﬁ gures 1 and 2). Make certain the 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 ﬂ oat is 1" min. above the discharge tee of the DC

backup pump (see ﬁ gures 1 and 2). Position pumps in the sump

and move ﬂ oat up and down, making sure of free movement with-

out interference from any obstructions inside the sump or lid. Very

shallow sumps may require some adjustment to avoid overﬁ lling or

backing up of water into the sump inlet. The ﬂ oat switch can be

Initial Start-Up and Operation

1. Test the installation for leaks by running water into the sump

allowing for normal operation of the pri mary 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 ﬂ oat switch. The DC backup pump will run and the alarm will

sound. Lower ﬂ oat switch immediately after pump has started

run ning. Pump is running dry during initial check out for several

seconds. Continuous dry run ning may cause

over heat ing and damage the pump seals. Upon release of the

ﬂ oat switch, the pump will shut off. Press the reset button to turn

the alarm off.

5. Complete the ﬁ 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 ﬂ 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.

INDICATOR

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-ﬁ lled 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 ﬂ oor where it will discharge faster.

• To check speciﬁ c 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).

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 pos-

sible 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.
