need to thread the old screws through the
foot, the strainer and into the pump.
12. Line up the discharge pipes parallel to each
other and start with the top screw. Once the
top screw is replaced, the other screws will
line up with the holes. Tighten all the screws.
13. Install the float switch on the check valve or
on the no hub coupling with the hose clamp,
and secure the cage to the discharge pipe
with a wire tie. Make sure the floats are
vertical and the bottom of the backup float
is higher than the bottom of the primary
float switch.
14. Ease the pump back into the no-hub
connector and tighten the hose clamps.
15. Lower the pump back into the pit by the
handle of the primary pump.
16. Connect the top of the system to the rubber
union and tighten the hose clamp.
17. Connect the backup pump to the back of the
gray control unit
18. Insert the fluid sensor into the top of the
battery, or into the battery cap, depending
on which battery you own.
19. Connect the battery wires to the battery
terminals, WHITE to the NEGATIVE (-) post,
and BLACK to the POSITIVE (+) post.
20. Plug the power cord from the gray control
unit into the outlet. You should provide
additional protection to the system by using
a surge protector.
21. Plug the primary pump into the blue
controller, and plug both into the wall
outlet.
22. If any of the alarms are sounding, press the
GRAY button for 1 second.

Battery power level
Your Pro Series backup sump pump system has a
gauge which will report the level of charge
remaining in the battery. As the battery’s energy
is depleted during operation without AC power,
or simply by aging, the gauge will indicate the
percent of charge remaining in the battery.
Should the level drop below 25%, the “Battery
problem” indicator will light up and the alarm
will sound.
THE REMOTE TERMINAL
The Pro Series 2400 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 back of the
control unit. There are three (3) positions for
wire connections on the terminal: N.C. -
normally closed, N.O. – normally open, 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).
TESTING THE FLOAT SWITCH FOR THE
BACKUP PUMP
It is important to manually test the float
switches periodically or after any maintenance.
Unplug the main AC pump when installing or
servicing the backup pump to avoid electric
shock. Failure to do so could cause serious
injury or death. Review the safety
instructions on page 1.
Lift the float up with a pencil, or another non-
metallic item, 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
