Replace the fuse with a 20 amp auto fuse
Unplug the main AC pump before servicing the
backup pump to avoid electric shock. Failure
to do so could cause serious injury or death.
This alarm indicates that the 20 amp safety fuse
on the back of the control unit has blown. This
can be the result of a clogged pump motor, or
pump wires that have been shorted out. To
determine the problem:
REFER TO THE PHOTOS AT RIGHT
1. Check the pump plug in the back of the unit
to make sure it is firmly connected. Check the
pump wires to make sure they are connected
securely to the pump plug. Check the rest of
the pump wires for any possible breaks.
2. If the pump wires are intact, the pump may be
clogged. (a) Disconnect the control unit from
the wall outlet, and disconnect the battery
cables and the fluid sensor. (b) Release the
union or check valve and remove the pump
and rigid PVC pipe section from the sump pit.
(c) Clear any debris from the strainer, and
then reconnect the pump to the discharge
pipe. (d) Connect the control unit, and the
battery cables to the battery…the BLACK wire
to the NEGATIVE (-) post, and then the RED
wire to the POSITIVE (+) post. Tighten the
wing nuts on the battery posts. (e) Plug the
control unit back into the wall outlet.
3. (a) Check the DC fuse by pulling it out of the
fuse holder. (b) If the wires are burned and
broken, replace the fuse with a 20 amp DC
safety fuse. If the fuse blows again, unplug
the computer control unit from the wall and
disconnect the battery cables from the battery.
Then call Glentronics technical support for
instructions at 800-991-0466, option #3. You
may need to replace the pump.
4. Plug the main AC pump back into the wall
outlet.

If this warning light and alarm are on, you need
to add distilled water to the battery. Battery
fluid levels should be checked once every four
months.
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. Then unscrew the wing nuts and remove the
battery cables and the fluid sensor from the
battery.
5. Remove battery caps.
6. Add distilled water to the battery filler bottle
and replace the nozzle. Place the battery filler
into each cell of the battery and press down.
It will fill the battery cell to the correct level
and stop automatically. 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.
7. Replace the battery caps. Replace the fluid
sensor in the hole on the top of the battery or
in the yellow cap, depending on which battery
you own. Be sure the fluid sensor is positioned
in the second cell from the positive post. The
hole is market with an arrow. Replace the
battery cables…the BLACK wire to the NEGATIVE
(-) post, and the RED wire to the POSITIVE (+)
post. Replace the wing nuts and tighten.
8. Replace the cover on the battery box.
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
GRAY button on the front of the control
panel for one (1) second.
