There are millions of batteries manufactured each year, so it is impossible to guarantee consistent quality. A defective battery will
never become fully charged and may damage the charging circuits of the Control. It is for this reason that we offer our own line of
batteries. We offer both a Water/Acid Deep-Cycle Battery and a maintenance-free AGM battery, which can run the pump continuously
for over 7½ hours. These times are based on continuous pumping at 10’ of static head. Actual times will vary depending on static
head, volume of water entering the pit, and the condition of the battery.
Follow these recommendations:
• Use a B.C.I. size 27 deep-cycle battery, 175 minute reserve capacity, or larger.
• Do NOT use a “maintenance-free” battery unless it is a Gel-filled or an AGM battery.
• Replace your battery every 3 years.
• Do not let corrosion build up on the battery terminals.
• Do not place your battery on a concrete floor where it will discharge faster.
• To check specific gravity, follow the instructions on a hydrometer (not applicable for Gel or AGM batteries).
PROTECT YOUR WARRANTY:
• Water level in batteries must be checked once a month (not applicable for Gel or AGM batteries).

LCD DISPLAY AND KEYPAD FUNCTIONS
There are two buttons on the front of the charger:
• The scroll button is used to cycle through the information on the LCD screen.
• The alarm reset button:
° Can be pressed to clear alarm buzzer, light and/or display.
° Can be held for longer than 3 seconds to silence the buzzer for a 24-hour period.
The LCD screen will display information about the system by simply hitting the scroll button:
• The bottom line of the LCD will always display the battery voltage and current going to the battery, if charging.
• The alarm screen shows current alarms.
• The cycle counter screen shows how many times the DC float has been activated.
• The AC power loss counter screen shows how many times the AC power has been removed from the charger.
• Optional: a screen may also show the name and number of a service provider.
The 6 LED lights also display information about the charger at a glance:
• The red AC power light will be on if AC power is connected, and it will blink if AC power is not connected.
• The green charged light indicates a full battery, ready for operation.
• The yellow charging light indicates power going to the battery.
• The red low battery light blinks when the battery is below 10.8 volts and rapidly blinks when the battery is below 8.4 volts.
• The yellow high water light will blink when the float is activated, and becomes solid after 3 seconds.
NOTE: The pump should be running when the float is activated.
• The yellow alarm off light indicates the buzzer is currently silenced.
