Power failure
There are several causes for power
failure. The most common is a power
outage by your electric company. During
this emergency, the Pro Series 2200
Sump Pump System will automatically
switch to battery power and protect your
basement from flooding.
If the power is on in the rest of the house,
check the home circuit breaker or fuse
box for failure, and correct the problem.
The control unit must receive 115 volts
AC +/- 5% from the AC outlet.
Any
voltage lower than this will cause the
power failure alarm to activate. Lower
voltages can be caused by utility
company brown outs or heavy power
draws from other appliances on the
same circuit.
You can silence the "Power" alarm for 24
hours by pressing the gray button for 5
seconds. The alarm will reset auto-
matically 24 hours later. The light and
the alarm will both turn off. The system
will continue to operate and pump while
the alarm is silenced.
Pump is defective
The Pro Series 2200 control unit will
check the pump and its wire con-
nections each week for possible pump
failure. The system will test the pump by
running it for 2-3 seconds to make sure
it is operating.
If the "Pump" alarm
sounds, check the pump plug in the
back of the unit to make sure it is firmly
connected. Check the pump wires for
any possible breaks. If the pump wires
are connected, test the pump by lifting
the float switch in the sump. Check to
see if the pump is operating. Do not
push the gray button to test the pump
during this procedure. If the control unit
still indicates that the pump is defective,
replace the pump.
The pump is
designed to run dry, so if there is no
water in the sump pit during the test, the
pump will not be damaged.
Pump was activated
The "Pump was activated" warning
stays on to alert you to the fact that the
Pro Series backup pump was used to
empty water from the sump.
Try to
determine what caused the system to
operate.
Check the main pump for
failure.
Another possibility is that the
power was out while you were away
and the backup system automatically
pumped the water out of the sump. Or,
if the incoming water was more than
your AC sump pump could handle,
then the backup system automatically
pumped along with your AC pump.
Inspect your check valve. It could be
stuck or defective and needs to be
replaced.
After determining the source of the
problem, push the gray button to silence
the alarm.
