PHCC Pro Series Pro Series C22 - Manual (Page 15)

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. 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. If the GRAY button is pressed before the
pump has stopped, the alarm will go off
temporarily. Wait for the pump to stop pumping,
and then push the GRAY button on the front of
the control unit to completely silence the alarm.
While the pumps are active, water will come out of
the 1/8” hole that is drilled in the pipe above the
pump. This is normal. The hole is needed to
prevent an air lock within the system. DO NOT
obstruct this hole or an air lock may prevent the
pump from activating.
BE SURE TO PLUG IN THE MAIN AC PUMP WHEN
YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE TEST.
TESTING THE FLOAT SWITCH FOR THE
PRIMARY PUMP
Lift the float up with a pencil, or another non-
metallic item, and let it go to activate the pump.
The pump will run for an additional 10 seconds
after the float returns to the original position.
It will not damage the pump to run it for this
short time if the sump pit is dry. However, DO
NOT hold the float up for an extended time
without water in the sump pit.
While the pumps are active, water will come out
of the 1/8” hole that is drilled in the pipe above
the pump. This is normal. The hole is needed to
prevent an air lock within the system. DO NOT
obstruct this hole or an air lock may prevent the
pump from activating.
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 switches on both pumps as
described above.
2. Remove all debris from the bottom of the pit.
3. Remove all debris floating in the water.
4. Remove all debris from the float switch cage.
5. Fill the pit with water. Make sure the pumps
turn on at the intended levels.
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 battery fluid levels once every four to
