START-UP AND OPERATION
4. Once the battery is fully charged, the four lights will
turn green. To clear any other lights or alarms, press
and hold the 'Silence' button for three seconds.
The following LED functions provide a visual cue to the
proper function of the DC pump:
•
The DC pump LED will stay yellow after pumping
water, alerting you when the DC pump has turned
on and has pumped water.
•
If the the DC pump runs and does not pump
water, the LED will not stay yellow. This can occur
during a test of the system when the float is lifted
manually while the pump is above the water line.
This allows the system to be tested without having
to reset it each time.
5. Lift the lower (operational) float on the backup pump
float switch. After one second, the backup pump will
run and the alarm will sound. Be sure the inlet of the
backup pump is above the inlet of the primary pump.
Press 'Silence' for 3 seconds to cancel the alarm
and reset the unit.
CAUTION: Continuously running the pump dry may
cause overheating and damage the pump. Once
the lower float is released, the backup pump will run
for an additional ten seconds or until it senses that
water is no longer being pumped.
6. Lift the upper (high water) float on the backup
pump float switch. After one second, the backup
pump will run and the alarm will sound. Be
sure the inlet of the backup pump is above the
inlet of the primary pump. Press 'Silence' for 3
seconds to cancel the alarm and reset the unit.
CAUTION: Continuously running the pump dry
may cause overheating and damage the pump.
Once the upper float is released, the backup
pump will run for an additional ten seconds
or until it senses that water is no longer being
pumped.
Be sure there are no obstructions around the
float.
