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. 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
GRAY 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.
REFER TO PHOTOS AT RIGHT
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 and the battery
cables from the battery.
5. Unplug the pump from the back of the control
unit.
6. Release the union or check valve and remove
the pump and the rigid PVC pipe section from
the sump pit.
7. Unscrew the pipe and adapter from the old
pump, and screw them into the new pump.
8. Lower the pump into the sump and reconnect
the union or check valve.
9. Plug the pump wires into the back of the
control unit.
10. Replace the fluid sensor in the battery.
Connect 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.
11. Replace the cover on the battery box.
12. Plug the charger and the main AC pump back
into the wall outlet. (You should provide
additional protection for the control unit by
using a surge protector.)
13. If any alarms are sounding, press the GRAY
button on the front of the control panel for
one (1) second to silence them.

The unit is not receiving AC power
There are several causes for power failure. The
most common is a power outage by your electric
company. During this emergency, the Pro Series
system will automatically switch to battery
power and protect your basement from flooding.
You can silence the “AC power failure” alarm for
24 hours by pressing the GRAY button on the
front of the control panel for five (5) seconds.
The alarm will be silence, but the light will stay
on. The system will continue to operate while
the power alarm is silenced. After 24 hours, the
alarm will reset automatically.
1. 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.
2. Check the charger. Make sure it is securely
plugged into the wall outlet. Check the outlet
to make sure it is working.
3. Check the charger plug that fits into the rear
panel of the control unit. Make sure it is
securely plugged into the control unit.
The control unit must receive 115 volts AC +/-
5% from the AC outlet. Any voltage lower than
110 volts will activate the power failure 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 failure”
warning light is still on, replace the charger unit
with the Pro Series part number 1015001 from
Glentronics at 800-991-0466, option #3.

Charging
The Pro Series 1730 is equipped with a
computer-controlled automatic charging system.
The computer is constantly monitoring the
battery and will supply a pre-programmed
amount of energy to keep your battery at full
charge. The “Charging” light will be on or
flashing while the battery is charging, and off
when it is not charging. If the battery is
discharged from extended use, the charger light
will remain on until the battery is completely
recharged.

System Operating
This light will always be on when there is power
coming from either the battery or the outlet.
TEST-RESET-SILENCE BUTTON
To test the pump, press the GRAY button on the
front of the control panel for one (1) second.
The pump will run for 2 seconds and then shut
off automatically.
To silence an alarm, press the Gray button for
one (1) second. Some alarms cannot be
silenced, since action needs to be taken to
prevent a flood.
