2. Installing the battery fluid sensor: Remove

the cover of the battery box by pushing in the

tabs on the front and back, then lifting up.

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.

3. If you are using BATTERY A, replace the battery

cap that is 2nd from the POSITIVE (+) post

with the battery cap that is provided in the Pro

Series package. An arrow on the top of the

battery marks this position. There are two

holes in the battery cap. Insert the fluid

sensor in the hole that is off-center on the top

of the cap. Do not glue the sensor into the cap.

4. If you have BATTERY B, a hole has been

molded into the top of the battery to accept

the fluid sensor rod. The sensor hole is

marked by the label on top of the battery.

Hold the sensor straight and press it firmly

into the hole all the way up to the connector.

Do not bend the sensor rod.

5. If you are using two batteries on the system,

the fluid sensor should be placed in the battery

directly connected to the controller.

6. If you are not using the Pro Series 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.

7. 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 panel to the type

of battery being used with the system.

8. 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.

9. Immediately plug the AC power cord from the

gray control unit 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.

10. If any of the alarms are sounding, press the

GRAY button on the front of the control

panel for one (1) second

11. Secure the cover on the battery box by

slipping the tabs through the fittings on the

front and back of the box.

12. Connecting the primary pump: Plug the

piggyback controller into a properly

grounded 3-prong outlet (preferably with

ground fault circuit interrupt). Then plug

the primary pump into the receptacle on the

controller.

13. For a neater installation, secure the cables

from the controllers to the discharge pipe in

a couple places with additional cable ties.

Make sure the wires are not touching each

other or overlapping each other.

14. After the initial installation, be sure to

check the pump operation by filling the

sump with water and observing the pump

through one full cycle. The primary pump

should run for 10 seconds after the lower

float drops.

15. A pit cover is recommended for all

installations as a safety measure, and to

prevent debris from falling into the pit.

Place the cover on top of the pit making sure

not to pinch or crimp the pump wires with

the cover. The pit cover usually has an

existing hole that will allow the cords to be

passed through it, or you can drill a hole in

the cover.
