PHCC Pro Series Pro Series 1000 Battery Backup Sump Pump System (with silence switch) User Manual
Page 12
The control unit must receive 115 volts AC +/-
5% from the AC outlet. Any voltage lower than
110 volts will activate the “AC power” alarm.
Lower voltages can be caused by utility company
brown outs or a heavy power draw from other
appliances on the same circuit. Reduce the
number of appliances on the circuit.
If all the connections are secure and the wall
outlet is operating, but the “AC power” warning
light is still on, replace the charger unit with the
Pro Series part number 1015003. Contact
Glentronics at 800-991-0466, option #3 for parts.

The fluid in the battery is low
Risk of electrical shock or battery explosion,
which can cause serious injury or death.
Wear eye protection. Work in a well-
ventilated area. Do not smoke or allow a
spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery.
Avoid dropping metal tools on the battery.
If battery acid contacts eyes, flush with
water for 15 minutes and get prompt
medical attention. Review the safety
instructions on page 1.

If this warning light and alarm are on, you need
to add distilled water to the battery. (This alarm
cannot be silenced. When the battery is refilled
and the sensor is replaced, the alarm will go off
automatically.)
REFILLING THE BATTERY
1. Unplug the charger from the wall outlet.
2. Remove the cover of the battery box by
pushing in the tabs on the front and back,
then lifting up.
3. Fan the area around the top of the battery
with a piece of cardboard (or another non-
metallic material) to remove any hydrogen or
oxygen gas that may have been emitted from
the battery.
4. Remove the fluid sensor from the top of the
battery, and then unscrew the wing nuts and
remove the battery cables from the battery.
5. Remove the battery caps. Add distilled water
to each cell. If distilled water is not
available, tap water with a low mineral
content may be used. Well water is not
recommended. NEVER ADD
MORE ACID. Fill the battery to
level 2 as shown in Diagram E on
page 8. (The Pro Series battery
filler will automatically fill the
level to the correct height. See
enclosed order form.)
6. Replace the battery caps.
Replace the fluid sensor in the
hole on the top of the battery
or in the battery cap,
depending on which battery
you own. Be sure the fluid
sensor is positioned in the
2nd cell from the positive
post. The hole is marked with
an arrow.
7. Replace the battery cables…the WHITE wire
to the NEGATIVE (-) post, and the BLACK wire
to the POSITIVE (+) post. Replace the wing
nuts and tighten.
8. Replace the cover of the battery.
9. Plug the charger back into the outlet. (You
should provide additional protection for the
control unit by using a surge protector.)
10. If any of the alarms are sounding, press the
white button on the front of the control
panel for one (1) second.

The pump was activated
When the water rises in the sump pit and
activates the float switch, the pump will begin
pumping, and the “Pump was activated” light
and alarm will turn on. The alarm stays on to
alert you to the fact that the standby system was
used to empty water from the sump. Try to
determine what caused the system to activate.
• Check the main AC pump for failure. It may not
be working, the float switch may be stuck, or it
may be too small to handle the inflow of water.
• Make sure the check valve is working and
installed correctly.
• Make sure the discharge pipe is not clogged or
frozen.
• If the power was out, the backup pump was
automatically activated. You need to push the
WHITE button on the front of the control panel
to reset the alarm.
During a power outage or times when the pump
is activated repeatedly, you can temporarily
silence the alarm by sliding the “Audible Alarm”
switch to OFF. When the primary pump has
resumed normal operation, and the backup
pump is no longer activating repeatedly, slide
the switch to the ON position to resume the
full monitoring capability.
The alarm and
pump light will still be on. Push the WHITE
button on the front of the control panel to
silence the alarm.
REPLACING THE PUMP
Unplug the main AC pump when installing or
servicing the backup pump to avoid electric
shock. Failure to do so could cause serious
injury or death. Review the safety
instructions on page 1.
