Introduction

  • The Pro Series 2400 A/C-D/C backup sump pump is designed as an emergency backup system to support your main AC sump pump, and it will automatically begin pumping any time the float switch is activated by rising water.
  • If your main AC pump breaks or is unable to keep up with all the incoming water, the Pro Series pump is capable of running without discharging the battery, as long as the AC power is on. As soon as the AC power is interrupted, the battery takes over. Should any malfunction or emergency occur that involves the sump pump, the battery, or the AC power, the Pro Series system will sound an alarm. A light on the display panel of the control unit will indicate the cause of the alarm and the corrective action.
  • For added reliability, the float switch has not one but two floats mounted within a protective cage. Should one float fail to operate, the second float automatically activates the pump. The protective cage prevents debris or other wires from interfering with the movement of the floats.
  • To extend the battery runtime, two batteries may be connected to the Pro Series 2400 system by purchasing a second battery and a set of battery jumper cables. Jumper cables (Model PJC) specifically designed for this use are available from the manufacturer, Glentronics, Inc.

The Pro Series Sump Pump System includes:

  • * A control unit with a dual float switch, battery cables, a 5 Amp AC fuse, and a 25 Amp DC fuse
    • A metal hose clamp for mounting the float switch
    • A pump
    • A battery box
  • You will also need to supply:
    • A Pro Series Maintenance-Free Battery (B12-100)
    • DO NOT use an automotive battery with this system.
    • The internal construction of some batteries may not be compatible with this system. Glentronics cannot guarantee the compatibility of other brands of batteries. The use of a Pro Series battery is HIGHLY recommended.PRO-SERIES-PUMPS-PHCC-2400-Backup-Sump-Pump-System- \(3\)
  • 1½” rigid PVC pipe and fittings
  • PVC primer and cement
  • A union with hose clamps or a wye connector and two (2) check valves, depending on the installation method you use
  • A 1½” PVC pipe adapter (1½” SLIP x 1½” MIPT)
  • A surge protector (recommended)

For narrow sump pits you will need some additional parts:

  • An “L” bracket at least six (6) inches long (preferably one that will not rust)
  • Two (2) stainless-steel hose clamps
  • One (1) stainless-steel screw (#8-32 x ¾”), a matching washer and nut

To connect two batteries you will need:

  • Two (2) batteries of the same age, type and capacity (so they will have equal power).
  •  DO NOT use batteries of different types, ages or capacities as they will not charge properly.
  • Another battery box
  • A set of battery cables with rings on both ends to connect the two batteries together (Model PJC, available from Glentronics, Inc.)

Use of a Pro Series Klunkless Check Valve™ will provide quieter operation.

Pump & Pipe Installation Instructions

  • Two basic methods can be used to install the pump: a direct discharge to the outside of the building or a connection to an existing discharge pipe. The same two options apply in very narrow sump pits where the backup pump must be mounted above the main pump.
  • Use a pit that conforms to all local codes, and check the code to see if a gate valve or ball valve is required. Whenever possible, install your Pro Series backup pump with a direct discharge to the outdoors. By using this method, an outlet will always be available for the water from the sump. During times of very heavy rain, many storm sewers fill up. If your pump is trying to discharge water into a full sewer, the water has nowhere to go. By discharging directly outdoors, an outlet always exists for the water that is pumped out of the sump. For this method, you will need to drill a hole through a floor joist or the foundation from the basement to the outside of the house.
  • If the direct discharge method is not possible or convenient, the Pro Series pump can be connected to the same line as your main AC sump pump by installing a wye connector and two (2) check valves.
  • In most cases, the backup pump will fit next to the main AC pump in the sump pit. In very narrow pits, the backup pump can be mounted above the main AC pump. Try to fit the backup pump next to the main AC pump first.
  • Make sure enough room exists so the backup pump and the main pump do not touch each other. Before starting the installation, clean the pit of all debris. The pump’s strainer must be kept clear. The pump should not be set  directly onto a clay, earthen, or sand base. Instead put the pump on bricks, blocks or a pump stand (Model SF1A or SF2A) to provide a solid base and to raise the pump off the sump pit floor. The pump should be level. Install discharge plumbing according to local, regional and state codes.
  • Select the installation method that will best suit your needs from the diagrams at the right. Full instructions for each installation method are provided on pages 5-8.

INSTALLATION A:
DIRECT DISCHARGE TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING
(Diagram A)

DANGER
Unplug the main AC pump when installing the backup pump to avoid electric shock. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death.

  1. Cut a piece of 1½” rigid PVC pipe long enough to reach from the bottom of the sump pit to one (1) foot above the floor. Prime and cement it to the 1½” pipe adapter, and then screw the adapter into the pump.
  2. Secure the pump wire so that the plug on the end will not fall into the sump pit. Attach the wire to the pipe with a piece of tape.
  3. Place the pump with the PVC pipe attachment on the bottom of the sump floor next to the main AC pump. The pumps should not touch each other. Do not mount the pump to any existing pipes. Clean the pit of all debris. The pump’s strainer must be kept clear. The pump should not be set directly onto a clay, earthen, or sand base. Instead put the pump on bricks, blocks or a pump stand (Model SF1A or SF2A) to provide a solid base and to raise the pump off the sump pit floor. The pump should be level.
  4. Attach a union or a check valve to the top of the 1½” pipe. This will allow the pump to be removed easily should the need arise.

The path of the rest of the pipe and each installation will vary. Using sound plumbing practices, route the discharge pipe to an exterior wall via the shortest path with the fewest turns. More turns will reduce the pumping capacity. The pipe section exiting the building should be on a downward slope so that the water in the pipe will exit outside instead of returning to the sump pit. Seal the hole in the wall where the pipe exits, and prime and cement or clamp all connections securely to prevent leaking. When directly discharging to the outside of the building, no check valve is required. However, a check valve will prevent water from flowing back into the pit when the pump has stopped.PRO-SERIES-PUMPS-PHCC-2400-Backup-Sump-Pump-System-
\(10\)

CAUTION

  • If you use more than a total of 15 feet of pipe in the installation (including vertical and horizontal runs), install a check valve in place of the union. Make sure it is installed with the arrow pointing up or it will not prevent the backflow of water.
  • When a check valve is used, a ³/16″ hole must be drilled in the PVC pipe above the
  • Pro Series pump. Drill the hole at a 45° angle toward the bottom of the sump to avoid splashing water outside the sump pit. Make sure the hole is above the water line and below the check valve. If a hole is not drilled above the pump, an air lock may prevent the pump from operating.

INSTALLATION B : CONNECTION TO AN EXISTING
DISCHARGE PIPE (Diagram B)
Depending on your installation requirements, PVC pipe lengths will vary. Cut the pipes and assemble them as shown in photo #7. Do not cement them together until you are sure they are cut to the correct lengths. It is important to keep the discharge pipes on both pumps parallel to each other, so that the pumps remain flat on the floor of the sump pit. More detailed instructions follow.
DANGER
Unplug the main AC pump when installing the backup pump to avoid electric shock. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death.

  1. Cut a piece of 1½” rigid PVC pipe long enough to reach from the bottom of the sump pit to one (1) foot above the floor. Prime and cement it to a 1½” pipe adapter, and then screw the adapter into the pump.

  2. Install a check valve on the top of the PVC pipe attached to the Pro Series pump. Make sure it is installed with the arrow pointing up or it will not prevent the backflow of water.
    CAUTION

  3. When a check valve is used, a ³/16″ hole must be drilled in the PVC pipe above the Pro Series pump. Make sure it is above ****PRO-SERIES-PUMPS-PHCC-2400-Backup-Sump-Pump-System- \(14\)
    the water line and below the check valve. Drill the hole at a 45º angle toward the bottom of the sump to avoid splashing water outside the sump pit. If a ³/16″ hole is not drilled in the pipe above the pump, an air lock may prevent the pump from operating.

  4. If there is no check valve on the discharge pipe of the main AC pump, one must be installed at this time. Cut the discharge pipe approximately one (1) foot above the floor. Install a check valve on the top of the pipe and tighten the bottom hose clamp. Now prime and cement a small piece of 1½” PVC pipe to the bottom of a wye connector. Prime and cement the top of the wye assembly to the discharge pipe with the wye extension facing down toward the backup pump. Now connect the bottom of the assembly to the check valve and tighten the hose clamp.
    CAUTION
    Failure to install a check valve between the wye connector and the main AC pump will cause the main system to not operate properly. A ³/16″ hole must also be drilled in the PVC pipe above the pump.

  5. Secure the pump wire so that the plug on the end will not fall into the sump pit. Attach the wire to the pipe with a piece of tape.

  6. Place the pump with the PVC pipe attachment on the bottom of the sump floor next to the main AC pump. The pumps should not touch each other. Do not mount the pump to any existing pipes. Clean the pit of all debris. The pump’s strainer must be kept clear. The pump should not be set
    directly onto a clay, earthen, or sand base. Instead put the pump on bricks, blocks or a pump stand (Model SF1A or SF2A) to provide a solid base and to raise the pump off the sump pit floor. The pump should be level.

  7. Connect a piece of 1½” PVC pipe above the check valve of the Pro Series pump, and attach a 45º elbow to that pipe. Extend another piece of pipe to reach from the 45º elbow to the wye connector on the other pipe.

  8. Prime and cement all pipe connections securely to prevent leaking, and tighten all the hose clamps.

INSTALLATION C:
DIRECT DISCHARGE TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING FOR NARROW SUMP PITS (Diagram C)
DANGER
Unplug the main AC pump when installing the backup pump to avoid electric shock. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death.

  1.  Attach an “L” bracket to the discharge pipe of the main AC pump with two (2) stainless-steel hose clamps. Position the bracket so the bottom of the “L” is just above the top of the main pump, and out of the way of any float switch on the main pump.

  2. (a) Remove the black bottom strainer of the pump by pressing in the two tabs on the strainer and pushing down. Holes suitable for mounting are on the bottom of the strainer. (b) Using the #8-32 x ¾” stainless-steel screw, washer and nut, attach the strainer to the “L” bracket. (c) Once the strainer is secured, press the rest of the pump onto the mounted strainer.PRO-SERIES-PUMPS-PHCC-2400-Backup-Sump-Pump-System- \(18\)

  3. Secure the pump wire so that the plug on the end will not fall into the sump pit. Attach the wire to the pipe with a piece of tape.

  4. Cut a piece of 1½” rigid PVC pipe long enough to reach from the elbow of the backup pump to (1) foot above the floor. Prime and cement it to the 1½” pipe adapter, and then screw the adapter into the pump.

Battery Instructions

This system will accommodate the B12-100 maintenance free (AGM) battery. To double the runtime of the backup system, two of the same model batteries can be connected together. The batteries should be of similar age, type and capacity. DO NOT use batteries of different types, ages or capacities as they will not charge properly.

CAUTION

  •  The use of automotive batteries is NOT recommended. Automotive batteries are not designed for this application.
  • They will only run the pump for a short time and will have a shorter life than a standby battery.
  • The internal construction of some batteries may not be compatible with this system. Glentronics cannot guarantee the compatibility of other brands of batteries. The use of a Pro Series B12-100 battery is HIGHLY recommended.

Control Unit Connections

DANGER
Risk of electrical shock or battery explosion, which can cause serious injury or death. Unplug the main AC pump to avoid electrical shock. Wear eye protection. Work in a well-ventilated area. Do not smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery. PRO-SERIES-PUMPS-PHCC-2400-Backup-
Sump-Pump-System- \(23\)

DO NOT drop a metal tool onto the battery. It might spark or short-circuit the battery and cause an explosion. If battery acid contacts eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention. Review the safety instructions on page 2. Position the control unit in a secure place approximately four (4) feet above the floor. Be sure the power cord will reach the AC power outlet, and the pump cable and the float switch will reach the bottom of the sump pit. Position the unit in a well-ventilated area. Do not place anything on top of the battery. Do not place anything on top of the control unit. (Diagram F)

  1. Positioning the dual float switch : The float switch wire includes a connector that can be separated from the controller when the wire needs to be threaded through small openings such as a sump pit cover. Be sure the float switch wire connection is secure before final installation. The float switch will activate the pump when the water raises either float, and it will remain running as long as the water is above the float. When the water drops below the float switch, an internal timer in the control unit will keep the pump running an additional 25 seconds to empty the sump pit. The switch should be mounted about six (6) inches above the water level line in the sump pit. Attach the float switch very securely to the discharge pipe with the stainless-steel hose clamp. Unscrew the clamp. Wrap it around the float bracket and pipe, and then tighten the screw until the float is secure. Be sure the switch is positioned vertically with the mounting bracket at the top. Do not tilt the switch. Do not position the float switch on the side of the discharge pipe facing the drain tile or any incoming rush of water. Check the connection of the float switch on the back of the control unit. Make sure the float switch is firmly connected.
  2. Connecting the pump: Remove the security tag from the pump and plug the pump wires into the pump connector on the back of the control unit. Keep the backup pump wire, the AC pump wire, and the float wire separate from each other. Do not let them cross on the final installation.
  3. Connecting the battery : Remove the bolts from the battery terminals. Remove the security tag from the battery cables. Attach the battery cables to the battery—the BLACK wire to the POSITIVE (+) post, and the WHITE wire to the NEGATIVE (-) post. Replace the bolts and tighten them.
  4. If you are connecting two batteries to the system, before you replace the bolts 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.
  5. 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.
  6. If any of the alarms are sounding, press the RESET button on the front of the control panel for one (1) second.
  7. Secure the cover on the battery box by slipping the tabs through the fittings on the front and back of the box.
  8. For a neater installation, secure the cables from the controllers to the discharge pipe in several places. Make sure the wires are not touching or overlapping each other.
  9. After the installation, be sure to check the pump operation by filling the sump with water and observing the pump through several full cycles.
  10. 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 turn off automatically when the problem has been solved. In others, the RESET button must be pushed to silence the alarm. Refer to the table on the next page for a quick review of the features and their corresponding alarms.

Warning| Alarm can be silenced before problem is corrected| Alarm shuts off automatically when the problem is corrected
---|---|---
Battery problem| No| No, push RESET button
Power or AC fuse failure| Yes| Yes
Pump or DC fuse failure| No| No, push RESET button
Pump was activated| Yes| No, push RESET button

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 RESET 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 RESET button for five (5) seconds. It will automatically reset itself after 24 hours. The warning light will stay on.

The battery terminals are corroded or the battery is defective
This light and alarm will come on when the control unit detects less than one (1) hour of pumping power left in the battery, or that the battery is defective. The alarm cannot be silenced because action needs to be taken to protect your basement. If your battery is more than five (5) years old, replace it. If not, here are several situations that would cause the pump to run the battery for an extended time and discharge the battery. Check the list below before you replace the battery.

  • If the 2nd light on the controller is also on, it means that the unit is not receiving AC power. Either the AC power is out, the circuit breaker has blown, or the outlet is bad. When the problem is corrected, the battery should recharge.
  • If the 4th light on the controller is also on, check your main pump for failure. The backup pump may have been activated repeatedly if your main AC pump is broken, or if you are experiencing heavy rains and your main pump cannot keep up with the inflow of water. You may need to upgrade or replace your main pump. When the problem is corrected, the battery should recharge.
  • If no other lights are on, this means the terminals may be corroded, and the battery cannot charge properly. Unplug the charger from the wall outlet. Then, check the battery cables and the battery bolts for corrosion. Clean and tighten them as needed. The procedure is described in the next column.
  • If the battery terminals have been cleaned and the light is still on, the controller or the battery could have a problem. The best way to determine if the battery is the issue is to have it charged and load tested at any local auto supply or battery store. If the battery is bad and less than one (1) year old, it can be returned to the place of purchase for a replacement (receipt required). If the battery is good, contact Glentronics’ service department for further  instructions. The phone number is 800-991-0466.
  • If the battery alarm goes on while the pump is running and the power is out, you will have a minimum of one (1) hour of continuous pumping time to replace the battery. (In most cases, the pump does not run continuously, and therefore, you actually have a longer time to replace it.) You will not be able to silence the alarm. Left unattended, the basement will flood. In a severe emergency, if a replacement battery is not available, you could temporarily  use your car battery, or recharge this battery by connecting it to your car battery.
  • Once the AC power is restored, the battery will recharge automatically, unless it is old or damaged. The alarm will remain on until the RESET button is pressed for one (1) second.
  • In the event that your Pro Series sump pump system has pumped for an extended period, the battery may be very depleted. In this condition, when the AC power is returned to the unit, a battery alarm will continue to sound.
  • The battery may need a longer period to recharge. Press the RESET button for five (5) seconds to silence the alarm.
  • If the battery is completely discharged, an internal safety feature will not allow the charging system to activate. Call the Glentronics service department for instructions or replace the battery.

TO CLEAN THE BATTERY TERMINALS AND CABLES

DANGER
Risk of electrical shock or battery explosion, which can cause serious injury or death. Wear eye protection. Work in a well-ventilated area. Do not smoke or allow a spark or flame in the vicinity of the battery. DO NOT drop a metal tool onto the battery. It might spark or short-circuit the battery and cause an explosion. If battery acid contacts eyes, flush with water for 15 minutes and get prompt medical attention. Review the safety instructions on page 2.

  1. Unplug the power cord from the wall outlet.
  2. Remove the cover of the battery box by pushing in the tabs on the front and back, then lifting up.
  3. Fan the area around the top of the battery with a piece of cardboard (or another nonmetallic material) to remove any hydrogen or oxygen gas that may have been emitted from the battery.
  4. Unscrew the bolts and remove the battery cables.
  5. Clean the battery posts with a battery post terminal cleaner or a wire brush.
  6. Clean any corrosion off of the ring connectors on the ends of the battery wires. Use a stiff brush or sandpaper. DO NOT apply corrosion resisting sprays or pads to the terminal rings or posts after you have cleaned them, since this could prevent the battery from charging properly.
  7. Replace the battery cables, BLACK to the POSITIVE (+) post and WHITE to the NEGATIVE (-) post. Tighten the bolts. Replace the cover on the battery box. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet. (You should provide additional protection for the control unit by using a surge protector.)
  8.  If any of the alarms are sounding, press the RESET button on the front of the control panel for one (1) second.

  3. Fan the area around the top of the battery with a piece of cardboard (or another nonmetallic material) to remove any hydrogen or oxygen gas that may have been emitted from the battery.
  4. Unscrew the bolts and remove the battery cables.
  5. Remove the old battery from the battery box and place the new battery in the box.
  6. Clean any corrosion off of the ring connectors on the ends of the battery wires. Use a stiff brush or sandpaper. DO NOT apply corrosion-resisting sprays or pads to the terminal rings or posts after you have cleaned them, since  this could prevent the battery from charging properly.
  7. Replace the battery cables, BLACK to the POSITIVE (+) post and WHITE to the NEGATIVE (-) post. Tighten the bolts.
  8. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet. (Provide additional protection for the control unit by using a surge protector.)
  9. If any of the alarms are sounding, press the RESET button on the front of the control panel for one (1) second.

The unit is not receiving AC power

Power failure could have several causes. The most common is a power outage by your electric company. During this emergency, the Pro Series system will automatically switch to battery power and protect your basement from flooding. You can silence the “AC power failure” alarm for 24 hours by pressing the RESET button for five (5) seconds. The alarm will be silent, but the light will stay on. The system will continue to operate while the power alarm is silenced. After 24 hours, the alarm will reset automatically.

  1.  If the power is on in the rest of the house, check the home circuit breaker or fuse box for failure, and correct the problem.
  2. Check the power cord. Make sure it is securely plugged into the wall outlet. Ensure the outlet is working properly.
  3. The control unit may have received a power surge. (a) Check the AC fuse located on the back panel of the control unit. First, unplug the control unit from the wall outlet. Then, unscrew the barrel fuse and check to see if the wires in the fuse are intact. To remove the barrel fuse, push in and turn counter clockwise. Replace the fuse by pushing it in and turning clockwise. (b) If the wires are burned and broken, replace the fuse with a 5-Amp glass barrel fuse, commonly found at hardware stores and auto-supply stores. Plug in the control unit. (Provide additional protection for the control unit by using a surge protector.) If the fuse blows again, call Glentronics technical support at 800-991-0466.
    The control unit must receive 115 volts AC +/- 5% from the AC outlet. Any voltage lower than 110 volts will activate the power failure alarm. Lower voltages can be caused by utility company brownouts or a heavy power draw from other appliances on the same circuit. Reduce the number of appliances on the circuit.

The pump or DC fuse is defective
DANGER

  • Unplug the main AC pump before servicing the backup pump to avoid electric shock. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death.
  • REFER TO THE PHOTOS BELOW AND AT RIGHT

The Pro Series control unit will check the pump and its wire connections each week for possible pump failure. The system will test the pump by running it for 2-3 seconds to make sure it is operating. The test will not trigger an alarm if everything is okay. If the “Pump or DC fuse” alarm sounds:

  1. Check the pump plug in the back of the unit to make sure it is firmly connected. Check the pump wires to make sure they are connected securely to the pump plug. Check the rest of the pump wires for any possible breaks.
  2. If the pump wires are intact, the pump may be clogged. (a) Disconnect the control unit from the wall outlet, and disconnect the battery cables. (b) Release the union or check valve and remove the pump and rigid PVC pipe section from the sump pit. (c) Clear any debris from the strainer, and then reconnect the pump to the discharge pipe.(d) Connect the control unit, and the battery cables to the battery, the BLACK wire to the POSITIVE (+) post and then the WHITE wire to the NEGATIVE (-) post. Tighten the bolts on the battery posts. (e) Plug the control unit back into the wall outlet.
  3. (a) Check the DC fuse by pulling it out of the fuse holder. (b) If the wires are burned and broken, replace the fuse with a 25-Amp DC safety fuse. If the fuse blows again, unplug the control unit from the wall and disconnect the battery cables from the  battery. Then call Glentronics technical support for instructions at 800-991-0466. You may need to replace the pump.
  4. Plug the main AC sump pump back into the wall outlet.

The pump was activated
When water rises in the sump pit and lifts the float switch, the pump will begin pumping, and the “Pump was activated” light and alarm will turn on. The pump warning stays on so you know the standby system was used to empty the water from the sump pit. Try to determine what caused the system to activate.

  •  Check the main pump for failure. It may not be working, the float switch may be stuck, or it may be too small to handle the inflow of water.
  • Make sure the check valve is working and was installed correctly. It may need to be replaced.
  • Make sure the discharge pipe is not clogged or frozen.
  • If the power was out, the backup pump was automatically activated. Push the RESET button to silence the alarm.

REPLACING THE PUMP

DANGER
Unplug the main AC pump when installing the backup pump to avoid electric shock. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death. Review the safety instructions on page 2.

REFER TO PHOTOS AT RIGHT

  1.  Unplug the Pro Series control unit from the wall outlet.
  2. Remove the cover of the battery box by pushing in the tabs on the front and back, then lifting up.
  3. Fan the area around the top of the battery with a piece of cardboard (or another nonmetallic material) to remove any hydrogen or oxygen gas that may have been emitted from the battery.
  4. Unscrew the bolts and remove the battery cables from the battery.
  5. Unplug the pump from the back of the control unit.
  6. Release the union or check valve and remove the pump and the rigid PVC pipe section from the sump pit.
  7. Unscrew the pipe and adapter from the old pump, and screw them into the new pump.
  8.  Lower the pump into the sump and reconnect the union or check valve.
  9. Plug the pump wires into the back of the control unit.
  10. Connect the battery cables to the battery—the BLACK wire to the POSITIVE (+) post and then the WHITE wire to the NEGATIVE (-) post. Tighten the bolts.
  11. Replace the cover of the battery box.
  12. Plug the control unit and the main AC pump back into the wall outlet. (Provide additional protection for the control unit by using a surge protector.)
  13. If any alarms are sounding, press the RESET button on the front of the control panel for one (1) second to silence them.

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 because of the battery’s age, 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.

TESTING THE FLOAT SWITCH
It is important to manually test the float switch periodically or after any maintenance.

DANGER

  • 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 2.

  •  Lift the float up 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. While the pump is active, water will come out of
    the ³/16″ hole that was drilled into the PVC discharge pipe. This is normal. The hole
    is needed to prevent an air lock within the system. DO NOT obstruct the hole or an air lock may prevent the system from activating. If no water is 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 RESET button to silence the alarm. If the RESET 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 RESET button on the front of the control unit to completely silence the alarm. BE SURE TO PLUG IN THE MAIN AC PUMP WHEN YOU HAVE COMPLETED THE TEST.

  • Using the Remote Notification

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. 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).

  • AC PUMPS
    INDUSTRIAL GRADE PUMPS FOR THE RESIDENTIAL MARKET

  • The Pro Series Pumps line of AC sump pumps and sewage pumps are strong, dependable, and so energy efficient they could pay for themselves in a few years. The sump pumps can be equipped with dual float switches for added reliability, and a controller that will sound an alarm if there is an AC power loss or a pump problem. The control unit has a terminal which can be connected to your security system or an auto dialer to forward the signal to you or your alarm company. When your main AC pump needs replacement, consider upgrading to one of the pumps in the Pro Series line.PRO-SERIES-PUMPS-PHCC-2400-Backup-Sump-Pump-System- \(45\)

  • Scan the QR code for more information about the reliable line of AC pumps

Float Switches
WHAT’S THE MOST COMMON REASON YOUR AC PUMP FAILS?

It’s probably the result of a float switch that is stuck or broken. Replace it with a Pro Series dual float and controller for reliable operation. The dual float has not one but two floats mounted within a protective cage. Should one float fail to operate, the second float automatically activates the pump. The protective cage prevents debris or other wires from interfering with the movement of the float. It can be used to replace the float on most AC pumps.

Check Valves
WHAT’S A KLUNKLESS CHECK VALVE? 

If you’ve spent any time in your basement, you’ve probably noticed your sump pump turning on and off with a loud clunk. That’s the result of the water pressure slamming the valve closed in the check valve. The Klunkless Check Valve has a built-in air chamber to counteract that pressure and muffle the sound. It works just like a conventional check valve, only quieter.

Water Alarms
MINIMIZE THE RISK OF WATER DAMAGE

You can detect leaks before they become bigger problems by placing a water alarm wherever water damage is a risk—in the utility room, laundry room, kitchen, bathroom or basement. The alarm will sound when as little
as ¹/³²” of water reaches the sensor.
