Page 10
Fan the area around the top of the battery with
a piece of cardboard (or another non-metallic
material) to remove any hydrogen or oxygen
gas that may have been emitted from the
battery. (a) Place the fluid sensor in the hole
provided on the top of the battery. It is
located in the second cell from the positive
post, and the location is marked by an arrow
on the top label. Hold the sensor straight up
and press it firmly into the hole. Do not bend
the sensor. (b) If you are using two batteries on
the system, the fluid sensor should be placed in
the battery directly connected to the controller.
4. If you are not using the Pro Series 2200
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 every couple of
months to see if it needs water. If the
battery dries out, the system will not work.
If you are using a maintenance-free
battery, you cannot add fluid to the
battery. The sensor MUST be attached to
the POSITIVE (+) post of the maintenance-
free battery to disconnect the fluid alarm.
5. Connecting the battery: Remove the wing
nuts from the battery terminals. Remove the
security tag from the battery cables. Attach
the battery cables to the battery…the WHITE
wire to the NEGATIVE (-) post, and the BLACK
wire to the POSITIVE (+) post. Replace the
wing nuts and tighten them. Slide the switch
on the front of the controller to the type of
battery used with the system (maintenance
free battery or non-maintenance free battery).
6. If you are connecting two batteries to the
system, before you replace the wing nuts,
connect the additional cable to the two
batteries….the BLACK wires to the POSITIVE
(+) posts and the WHITE wires to the
NEGATIVE (-) posts of each battery. NEVER
attach one end of the positive wire to the
positive post and the other end of the
positive wire to the negative post on the
other battery.
7. Immediately plug the AC power cord into a
grounded AC wall outlet. (A surge protector
that protects all three pins on the power plug
is recommended.) You will have 10 seconds
before the “Power failure” alarm will sound.
The alarm will be silenced once the unit is
plugged into the wall.
8. If any of the alarms are sounding, press the
GRAY button on the front of the control panel
for one (1) second
9. Secure the cover on the battery box by
slipping the tabs through the fittings on the
front and back of the box.
10. For a neater install-
ation, secure the
cables
from the
controllers to the
discharge pipe in a
couple places. Make
sure the wires are not
touching each other
or overlapping each other.
11. BE SURE TO PLUG IN THE MAIN AC PUMP
WHEN YOU FINISH THE INSTALLATION.
Understanding the
Warnings & Alarms
The Pro Series control unit features a series of
warning lights that pinpoint potential problems.
In addition, an alarm sounds to alert you to the
problem. In some cases the lights and alarm will
go off automatically when the problem has been
solved. In others, the GRAY button must be
pushed to silence the alarm. Refer to the table
below for a quick review of the features and their
corresponding alarm status.
SILENCING THE ALARM
DURING AN EMERGENCY
If the alarm can be silenced before the problem
is corrected, you may silence it for two (2)
minutes by holding down the GRAY button for
one (1) second. The alarm will be silenced, but
the light will stay on. To silence the alarm for
24 hours, hold down the GRAY button for five (5)
seconds. It will automatically reset itself after
24 hours. The warning light will stay on.
