Transformer Features
• When plugged into 120VAC, the transformer automatically
provides power to the battery charging circuitry.
• The transformer can be left connected to the wall outlet
indefinitely.
• The transformer is designed for the system only, DO NOT
use for any other purpose.
PUMP INSTALLATION
The 12 Volt Advanced Notification System can be installed as
a back-up system with a separate dedicated discharge line
(Method 1), or tied into an existing sump pump line (Method 2).
1. Verify that the existing AC pump is in good working order. If
the AC pump is questionable, replace with the same HP
pump or increase the HP rating if you have experienced
flooding or the pump is not keeping up with the inflow of
water.
2. Remove any silt or accumulated debris from the sump pit
and surrounding area.
3. Make sure that disconnecting the AC pump will not create a
flood in your basement. A pump should be available to
evacuate water in the event incoming water rates should
change.
METHOD 1 (PREFERRED) - See Figure 1
1. Locate the DC pump on a solid, level surface in the sump pit. Do
NOT place the pump on a loose or sandy surface. Small stones or
sand may damage the pump resulting in pump failure.
2. This pump has a 1-1/2 in. NPT discharge. If a 1-1/4 in.
discharge pipe is desired, an adapter (not included) will
be necessary. Smaller diameter piping will reduce pump
flow-rate and performance.
3. A check valve is required in the discharge line of both the
Main AC pump and the Back-Up DC Pump to prevent
recirculation of water into the sump pit. The system will not
function without two check valves.
4. Cut a 4 ft. section of 1-1/4 in. or 1-1/2 in. diameter rigid PVC
pipe. Cement 1-1/4 in. or 1-1/2 in. pipe to a threaded fitting.
Cement 1-1/4 in. or 1-1/2 in. pipe into pipe coupling. Attach
1-1/4 in. or 1-1/2 in. pipe section to the Back-Up DC Pump
discharge adapter.
5. Screw into pump discharge.
6. Place the pump with the 4 ft. section of PVC pipe on a solid,
level surface in the sump pit on an elevated surface.
7. Attach a rubber check valve (sold separately) to the top of
the discharge pipe. This will allow the pump or check valve
to be removed easily for servicing.
8. Check valve is recommended for effective operation of
system.
The remainder of the discharge pipe installation will vary
depending on individual circumstances. Using sound plumbing
practices, route the discharge pipe to an exterior wall by the
shortest path. Keep turns to a minimum because they reduce
flow output of the pump. The pipe that exits the building structure
should be sloped downward so that water will not freeze in the
pipe.
When installing the separate discharge pipe, drill through
the outside wall with appropriate drilling equipment. Seal the
hole to prevent water from entering.
Installation of this unit MAY take several hours.
Before disabling your main pump, have a stand by
pump ready or an appropriate means of evacuating the sump.
Electric shock hazard. DISCONNECT power
before servicing. Apply a fixed lock or tag to
prevent unexpected application of power.
DO NOT over tighten or cross-thread plastic
fittings or check valves. USE rigid PVC or metal
pipe for permanent installation.
BACK-UP PUMP:
1. The pump will turn on when either the bottom or top float
rises.
2. The pump motor will keep running for 15 seconds after the
float drops.
3. An auto-test of the back-up pump will occur every 7 days
between the hours of 5pm-7pm. The controller will report
any known issues and record the date of the last auto-test
on the home screen.
4. The last known float activated back-up pump run date can
be found by scrolling through the main menu selections.

Pump Installation
1. Turn power to main pump off.
2. Pump must be installed using 1-1/4 in. or 1-1/2 in. rigid
PVC piping.
Control Box Features
Check valves MUST be installed in the
discharge line of both the main AC pump and the
back-up DC pump. Failure to install the check valves MAY allow water to
recirculate into the sump pit. See Figures 1 and 2.
