FG-A1
Installation
1. Disconnect power to the
primary sump pump.
2. Assemble control panel to
battery box with four screws
included.
3. Position 12 volt battery
(not provided) into battery box.
4. Assemble the two lead wires
from control panel to the battery
with the two battery clamps
included per Fig. 2.
Note: Assemble RED wire to
POSITIVE (+) battery terminal
and BLACK wire to the
NEGATIVE (–) battery
terminal. The RED wire is
supplied with an in-line fuse (10
amps,
250 volt rating) to
protect the battery, pump and
wiring should a short,
over-current or ground fault
occur.
If this fuse must be replaced for
any reason, it must be replaced
with one of the exact same
rating. Failure to do so may
result in a fire hazard. If the
polarities are connected wrong,
the REVERSE battery indicator
light on the control panel will
come on. Correct the battery
wire connections (replace the
1 amp fuse on control panels
equipped with fuse).
If voltage of the battery is lower
than DC 11 volts, the LOW
battery indicator light will
come on and the buzzer sounds for the ALARM function. Battery
should be checked by a battery shop.
5. Assemble back-up pump a minimum of 1" above the primary pump
and tilt 30° (per Figure 1 below).
The enclosed pump includes a built-in check valve and screws
directly into the side of the tee included.
The other two ends of the tee will accept 1-1/4" or 1-1/2" PVC and
ABS pipe. An additional check valve (not included) must be installed
between the primary pump and this pump. (See page four.)
The nylon belt with buckle, two rigid nylon straps and four screws
are not needed and can be discarded.
6. Attach the float switch to the discharge pipe with a wire tie. Be sure
that the turn off or down position of the float is above the suction inlet
of this pump. Tether at 1-1/4." Insert the plug of the float switch into
the SENSOR socket of the control panel.
7. Insert the plug of the battery charger into the CHARGER socket of
the control panel and plug the charger into an AC-115 volt power
outlet (Figure 3 on page five).
