PHCC Pro Series Pro Series 1730 Battery Backup Sump Pump System - Manual (Page 15)

To silence the
alarms for 24
hours, press the
GRAY button for
five (5) seconds
until you hear a
buzz. The alarms
will automatically reactivate in 24 hours.
TESTING THE FLOAT SWITCH
It is important to manually test the float
switch periodically or after any maintenance.
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.
Lift the float up and let
go. This will activate
the pump. The control
unit will run the pump
for approximately 25
seconds so it can
empty all the water in
the sump pit. While
the pump is active,
water will come out of the 1/8” hole that was
drilled into the PVC discharge pipe. This is
normal. The hole is needed to prevent an air
lock within the system. DO NOT obstruct the
hole or an air lock may prevent the system from
activating. If there is no water in the pit, the
pump can run dry for this amount of time. The
alarm will sound and the “Pump was activated”
light will go on. After the pump has stopped,
push the GRAY button to silence the alarm. BE
SURE TO PLUG IN THE MAIN AC PUMP WHEN
YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE TEST.
THE REMOTE TERMINAL
The PHCC Pro Series
1730 can be connected
to a home security
system or other alarm
devices to alert you to a
problem or required
maintenance.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING THE
REMOTE ALARM
The terminal is located on the front of the control
unit. There are three (3) positions for wire
connections on the terminal: N.O. – normally
open, N.C. - normally closed, and common.
Check your security system to determine whether
an open (no contact) or closed (making contact)
connection is needed to activate the alarm.
The security system will provide two connection
terminals. You will need to extend wires from
the security system to the Pro Series control
unit. Strip the two wires, ¼” each. Connect
either wire to the common terminal. To secure
the wire into the terminal, insert the exposed
wire into the hole on the back of the terminal
next to the screw marked common. Turn the
screw a few turns to lock-in the wire.
If the security system requires a closing of a
contact to activate the alarm, secure the other
wire in the terminal hole labeled N.O. (normally
open). If the security system requires an
opening of a contact, secure the wire in the
terminal hole labeled N.C. (normally closed).
MAINTENANCE CHECK LIST
Maintenance should be performed 1-2 times per
year
1. Lift the float switch as described at above.
2. Remove all debris from the bottom of the pit.
3. Remove all debris from the water.
4. Remove all debris from the float switch.
5. Fill the pit with water. Make sure the pump
turns on at the intended level.
6. While the pump is running, make sure the
pump is evacuating water at a good pace and
water is coming out of the 1/8” air bleed hole.
7. Remove the fluid sensor and yellow cap from
the battery and rinse any residue buildup from
the bottom of the battery cap. Replace the
cap and fluid sensor.
8. Check the battery fluid levels once every four
months.
