PHCC Pro Series Pro Series 1000 Battery Backup Sump Pump System (without silence switch) - Manual (Page 9)

Control Unit Hookup
When you position the control unit, be
sure the charger cord will reach the AC
power outlet and the pump cable and the
float switch will reach the bottom of the
sump.
Position the unit in a well-ven-
tilated area. (Diagram D)
1. Mounting the control unit: (a)
Thread the plastic wire tie through
the two mounting brackets on the
back of the control unit. (b) Secure
the controller to the discharge pipe of
the Pro Series pump by wrapping the
tie around the pipe and pulling it tight.
2. Positioning the float switch: The
float switch will turn on the pump
when the water rises to the top of the
switch, and it will remain running as
long as the water is above the float
switch. When the water drops below
the float, the internal timer in the
control unit will keep the pump
running an additional 30-40 seconds
to empty the sump pit. The switch
should be mounted six inches (6")
above the activation level of the main
AC pump. Attach the float switch very
securely to the discharge pipe of the
backup pump with the plastic wire
tie. (If you are stacking the pumps in
a narrow sump pit, the float may be
attached to the elbow of the backup
pump.) Be sure the switch is posi-
tioned vertically with the mounting
bracket at the top.
Do not tilt the
switch. Do not position the float switch
on the side of the discharge pipe
facing the drain tile or any incoming
rush of water! Do not position it next
to the power cord of the AC pump.
3. Installing the battery fluid sensor:
Replace the battery cap that is 2nd
from the POSITIVE (+) post of the
battery with the battery cap that is
provided in the Pro Series sump
pump package. An arrow on the top of
the battery marks this position. There
are two holes in the battery cap. Insert
the fluid sensor in the hole that is off-
center on the top of the cap. Do not
glue the sensor into the cap. If you are
not using a Pro Series Standby
Battery, you cannot use the battery
fluid sensor. However you must attach
the sensor to the POSITIVE (+) post
of the battery or the alarm will sound
continuously. The Pro Series Sump
Pump System will not warn you if the
fluid level is low in this configuration.
You will need to check your battery
monthly to see if it needs water.
4. Hooking up the pump: Plug the
pump wires into the pump connector
on the back of the control unit.
5. Hooking up the battery: Remove
the wing nuts.
Coat the terminals
with a little petroleum jelly to prevent
corrosion. Attach the battery cables
to the battery...the BLACK wire to the
POSITIVE (+) post, the WHITE wire
to the NEGATIVE (-) post. Tighten
the wing nuts.
6. Immediately plug the charger into the
charger hole on the back of the control
unit and into an AC outlet on the wall.
7. If the pump alarm is sounding, press
the reset button to silence the alarm.
The Pro Series 1000 Battery Backup
Sump Pump System is ready to use!
