GENERAL PUMP INFORMATION
This complete combo system will replace an existing 115V pump. This pump provides additional
protection against basement flooding when the power ges out. It is designed to work only during
power outages or if the primary pump does not work. Because the system is pre-assembled,
installation is quick and easy. The system includes a 115V pump, 12V pump, controller, alarm
system, battery charger, float switch and battery box.
The sump basin must be at least 22-in deep by 18-in diameter.
This backup system requires a good quality, deep cycle battery in order to provide maximum pumping
time when needed. A Basement Sentry brand battery is recommended. Otherwise, use an AGM deep-
cycle 12 volt 105 amp-hour marine battery or larger. Wet cell batteries contain acid and precautions
must be taken when handling.
DO NOT USE gel batteries or automotive batteries. Batteries with top terminals are recommended for
ease of installation.
NOTE: Pump must be submerged in water before operation. Running the pump dry will cause
damage and void the warranty.
NOTE: The alarm will sound after connecting the battery. It will continue to sound until all
connections are made and the float switch is in the down position.
The pump will continue to run for an additional 10 seconds after the float has been lowered. The
alarm will continue to sound while the pump is working.
Place the battery in a cool, dry, well-ventilated area on a shelf or protective plywood board. If a carbon
monoxide (CO detector) is installed in the same area as the DC pump system, it must be at least 15
feet away from the battery in order to avoid nuisance CO alarms. Refer to CO detector installation
guidelines for more information.
