Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
Operation - Primary Pump
ALWAYS
disconnect the power source
before attempting to install,
service, relocate or maintain
the pump. NEVER touch sump pump,
pump motor, water or discharge piping
when pump is connected to electrical
power. NEVER handle a pump or pump
motor with wet hands or when standing
on wet or damp surface or in water.
Fatal electrical shock COULD occur.
1. A ground fault circuit interrupter
(GFCI) is required (see Figure 2).
Risk of
electrical shock! This pump
is supplied with a grounding
conductor and grounding
type attachment plug. Use a
grounded receptacle to reduce the risk
of fatal electrical shock.
NEVER cut off the round grounding
prong. Cutting the cord or plug WILL
void the warranty and make the pump
inoperable.
2. The primary pump is only for use
on 120 volt (single phase), 60 Hz,
15 amp service and is equipped
with a 3-conductor cord and
3-prong, grounding type plug.
Insert the switch cord plug directly
into a 120 volt outlet.
3. BSS10, BSS20, BSS25 - Insert the
pump power cord plug directly into
the back of the water sensor cord
plug.
BSSF50 - Plug power directly into
GFCI outlet.
4. Fill sump with water. The pump will
start automatically when the water
has reached the preset switch levels
as indicated in Figure 1, on page 2.
The pump will recycle thereafter as
required.
• Capacitance Switch Models will
run a minimum of 4 seconds,
to a maximum of 16 before
stopping. Sump pump run time
will be determined by the sump
pit size and water flow rate into
the sump pit. Under flooding
conditions, the sump pump
will stop for 1 second, every 16
seconds, and automatically turn
back on.
5. Do not operate the pump unless it
is submerged in water. Dry running
causes pump failure.
6. The motor is equipped with an
automatic reset thermal protector.
7. While the pump is draining the
pit, verify that the discharge
piping is carrying the water to a
point several feet away from the
foundation.
8. If pump discharge line is exposed to
freezing temperature, the exposed
line must be pitched or angled to
drain. Trapped water will freeze
and damage the pump.
Operation - Back-up Pump
Always
disconnect the power source
before attempting to install,
service, relocate or maintain
the pump. Never touch sump
pump, pump motor, water or discharge
piping when pump is connected to
electrical power. Never handle a pump
or pump motor with wet hands or when
standing on wet or damp surface or in
water. Fatal electrical shock could occur.
Risk of
electrical shock! This pump
is supplied with a grounding
conductor and grounding
type attachment plug. Use a
grounded receptacle to reduce the risk
of fatal electrical shock.
Never cut off the round grounding
prong. Cutting the cord or plug will
void the warranty and make the pump
inoperable.
1. Test Backup Pump operation by
filling the sump with water while
the main pump is unplugged. If the
Backup Pump operates properly,
plug the charger into the GFCI
protected outlet to begin charging
the battery.
2. After installation, the standby
pump will start when the water
level rises above the depth that the
primary pump should start.
3. The control box has a DC charger
designed to shorten the recharging
time of your battery, and to
prevent overcharging. In addition,
the control box has a time delay
which keeps the pump from
repeated, short cycles when it
shuts off. This time delay feature
will allow the pump to run 20-25
seconds after the switch reaches
the off position.
4. The control box contains a multi-
colored indicator light. When AC
power is present, the light will
indicate the charging state, and
not reflect actual battery voltage,
particularly with a defective
battery. In order for the indicator
light to provide an accurate
reading, steps “a” through “d”
must be followed.
a. Unplug main AC pump and the
charger--a power off alert tone
will sound for 30 seconds.
b. Lift and release the float switch
to activate the standby pump.
c. When the pump stops, read the
test light:
Green: Indicates battery is
charged.
Yellow: Voltage is low,
indicating battery is partially
charged.
Red: Battery is completely
discharged or defective.
d. Plug in charger and main AC
pump.
When AC power is out, and when
pump has been running, the light
will indicate battery status.
