SEE BELOW FOR LIST OF WARNINGS

CAUTION

SEE BELOW FOR LIST OF CAUTIONS

1. Make certain that the receptacle is within reach of the pump’s power supply

cord. We recommend the primary sump pump and controller be on separate

circuits. DO NOT USE AN EXTENSION CORD. Extension cords that are too

long or too light do not deliver sufficient voltage to the pump motor, and they

could present a safety hazard if the insulation were to become damaged or

the connection end were to fall into a wet or damp area.

2. Make sure the pump electrical supply circuit is equipped with fuses or circuit

breakers of proper capacity. A separate branch circuit is recommended,

sized according to the National Electrical Code for the current shown on the

pump nameplate.

3. Testing for ground: as a safety measure, each electrical outlet should be

checked for ground using an Underwriters Laboratory listed circuit analyzer

which will indicate if the power, neutral and ground wires are correctly

connected to your outlet. If they are not, call a qualified, licensed electrician.

4. For Added Safety: Pumping and other equipment with a 3-prong grounded plug

must be connected to a 3-prong grounded receptacle. For added safety the

receptacle may be protected with a ground-fault circuit interrupter. When

a pump needs to be connected in a watertight junction box, the plug can be

removed and spliced to the supply cable with proper grounding. For added

safety this circuit may be protected by a ground-fault circuit interrupter. The

complete installation must comply with the National Electrical Code and all

applicable local codes and ordinances.

5. FOR YOUR PROTECTION, ALWAYS DISCONNECT PUMP FROM ITS POWER

SOURCE BEFORE HANDLING. Single phase pumps are supplied with a 3-prong

grounded plug to help protect you against the possibility of electrical shock.

DO NOT, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, REMOVE THE GROUND PIN. The

3-prong plug must be inserted into a mating 3-prong grounded receptacle.

If the installation does not have such a receptacle, it must be changed to the

proper type, wired and grounded in accordance with the National Electrical

Code and all applicable local codes and ordinances.

6. The tank is to be vented in accordance with local plumbing code. Pumps

must be installed in accordance with the National Electrical Code and all

applicable local codes and ordinances. Pumps are not to be installed in

locations classified as hazardous in accordance with National Electrical

Code, ANSI/NFPA 70.

Risk of electrical shock. Do not remove power supply cord and

strain relief or connect conduit directly to the pump.

Installation and servicing of electrical circuits and hardware should

be performed by a qualified, licensed electrician.

9. Pump installation and servicing should be performed by a qualified person.

10. Risk of electrical shock. These pumps have not been investigated for use in

swimming pools and marine areas.

11. Prop65 Warning for California residents: Cancer and Reproductive Harm-

www.P65Warnings.ca.gov.

12. It is the owner’s responsibility to check the battery and battery connection at

least once a month. Batteries contain acid and caution must be taken when

handling.

1. Check to be sure your power source is capable of handling the voltage requirements of the motor, as indicated on the pump name plate.
2. Vent hole. It is necessary that all submersible sump, effluent, and sewage pumps capable of handling various sizes of solid waste be of the bottom intake design to reduce clogging and seal failures. Vent holes should be checked periodically for clogging. The 50 Series pumps have a vent located in the pump housing opposite the float, adjacent to a housing lug. Water stream will be visible from this hole during pump run periods.
3. Pump should be checked frequently for debris and/or build up which may interfere with the float “on” or “off” position. Repair and service should be performed by an Authorized Service and Warranty Center only.
4. Dewatering and effluent sump pumps are not designed for use in pits handling raw sewage.
5. Maximum operating temperature must not exceed 130 °F (54 °C). 6. Do not operate a pump in an application where the Total Dynamic Head is
less than the minimum Total Dynamic Head listed on the Pump Performance Curves. 7. For indoor use only. 8. DC emergency pumps are designed for handling clear water. Do not use in septic tanks to pump effluent or sewage pits to pump sewage. 9. Repair and service of your DC backup system should be performed by an Authorized Service and Warranty Center. 10. The installation of DC automatic backup pumps requires the use of a variable level float switch for operation. It is the responsibility of the installing party, to ensure that the float switch will not hang up on the pump apparatus or pit peculiarities and is secured so the pump will turn “on” and “off”. It is recommended that the pit be 18″ (45.7 cm) in diameter or larger to accommodate both a primary and a DC backup pump.
NOTE: Pumps with the “UL” mark and pumps with the “US” mark are tested to UL Standard UL778. CSA Certified pumps are certified to CSA Standard C22.2 No. 108.

The DC controller is equipped with a charger for maintaining the battery in a ready state and recharging the battery after use when AC power is restored. Time for recharge depends upon the amount of power consumed by the pumping cycle during the AC power interruption. The pump may go back to the ready run position in a very short period of time. A completely drained battery may require up to 24 hours for full recharge. If battery does not charge properly, the LED battery will flash red.

BATTERY SELECTION
The DC emergency pump system requires a good quality, 12 volt battery to obtain maximum pumping time during a power outage. A deep-cycle, 12 volt, 105 amp-hour marine battery or larger is recommended and will provide approximately 5 hours of continuous pumping time in a sump pump installation with 8′ (2.4 m) of head pressure. In most installations, the pump runs intermittently and the battery life is extended accordingly. Batteries with top terminals are recommended for ease of installation. “Wet” cell batteries contain acid, and proper precaution must be taken when handling. Battery box will accommodate a maximum battery size of 13-1/2″ (34.3 cm) Length x 7″ (17.8 cm) Width x 9-1/2″ (49.5 cm) Height. AGM batteries also recommended. Do not use gel batteries or automotive batteries.

INSTALLATION

1. Ensure O-ring is properly located on pump discharge. Slide DC pump into fitting and tighten the hose clamp.
2. The preferred method of installation for backup pumps is shown in Figure

The installation kit includes one threated check valve to be used in the discharge. An additional check valve is incorporated in the discharge of the backup pump.
3. Select location for the battery and the controller. The controller charger must be within 8′ (1.87 m) of a 115 V wall outlet and within 6′ (1.8 m) of pump and basin. It is recommended that the controller is plugged into a separate circuit, different than the primary pump.
4. Make certain the float switch clamp is tight on the pipe to avoid slippage. Ensure that the “off” level of the float is 1″ (25 mm) min. above the discharge tee of the DC backup pump (see Figure 1). Position pumps in the sump and move float up and down, making sure of free movement without interference from any obstructions inside the sump or lid. Very shallow sumps may require some adjustment to avoid overfilling or backing up of water into the sump inlet. The float switch can be moved on the discharge pipe or the rubber stops can be adjusted as necessary.
5. Install the SpinTM controller (see Figure 3) by using the anchors provided. For best cooling, install wall mount configuration. The controller should be located at least 3′ (1 m) above the sump.
6. Connect the leads from the controller to the battery terminals. Positive (+) lead (white wire) to positive terminal and black neg. (-) lead (black wire) to negative battery terminal.

CAUTION Correct battery hook-up is essential for operation of the system. Use wing nuts supplied with battery and eyelet connectors on battery wire leads. The positive terminal is the larger stud, 3/8″ (10 mm) diameter. The smaller stud, 5/16″ (8 mm) diameter is the negative terminal. Apply grease to the terminals to help prevent corrosion. 7. Connect the plugs for the pump, and operational switch into the appropriate recepticles on the controller. 8. Plug the controller into the 115 V wall outlet. We recommend the primary sump pump and controller be on separate circuits.
9. Reconnect power to the primary sump pump.
High water reed sensor
If using the optional high water sensor, install it with the “on” level set at least 1″ above the “on” level of the operational float using the supplied bracket and clamp. Move the switch up and down, ensuring free movement without interfence from any obstructions inside the sump or lid.
The controller will alarm and run the pump if the high water sensor’s float is “up”. If the high water sensor should no longer be monitored, perform a factory reset by holding both buttons (silence and test) on the controller for 5 + seconds.

INITIAL START-UP AND OPERATION

1. Test the installation for leaks by running water into the sump, allowing for normal operation of the primary pump.

until the DC backup pump is activated by the operational float switch. Check all connections for leaks.

2. Check the controller. The System Ready light will be green when
the unit is plugged into the 115 V wall outlet. The battery will indicate its condition when the controller has DC power. When the unit is first plugged in, all lights will flash and alarm will sound to verify all lights and the alarm work.
3. Disconnect the primary pump from its power source before
touching any component in the sump pit.

6. Push the silence button when the pump is running. This will silence the alarm. The pump will continue to run until the operational float is deactivated.
7. Reconnect the controller and the primary pump to the AC wall outlets. The primary pump may come on, lower the water level in the sump back to its normal operating level, and shut off. Both primary and backup systems are now ready for use. Hold silence button for several seconds to reset the unit.

4. Lift the operational float switch. After a couple seconds the DC backup pump will run, and the alarm will sound after about 1 second. Lower the operational float switch after the alarm sounds. Take care that the intake of the DC pump is set above the inlet of the primary pump. Press silence for 3 seconds to clear out the alarm and reset the unit. CAUTION Continuous dry running may cause overheating and damage the pump seals. Upon release of the float switch, the pump will shut off. Be sure there are no obstructions around the float.
5. Complete the final testing of your installation by ensuring the primary pump is still disconnected from power. Then, unplug the fit controller from the 115 V wall outlet. Run water into the sump

8. Hold the silence button for several seconds to reset the unit. LED will be yellow during normal charging operation. See page 6 for a description of controller functions. NOTE: When running the pumps, it is normal for a stream of water to spray out of the 1/8″ (3 mm) air relief hole.
Note: In order to provide an alarm when the switch is disconnected, the controller supervises the operational switch connection. It does not supervise the optional tight water sensor connection until a high water sensor is plugged into the controller.

THE AQUANOT® BATTERY
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 Zoeller Pump Company offers its 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 5 hours. These times are based on continuous pumping at 8′ (2.4 m) 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 an AGM battery · Replace your battery every 3 years · Do not let corrosion build up on the battery terminals · To check specific gravity, follow the instructions on a hydrometer (wet cell batteries only) · Use of the included plastic battery box is recommended to keep the battery safe and clean.

Whether you have an Aquanot® Backup Pump System or a competitive brand, all use batteries that give off gaseous by-products when charging. Some of these by-products can produce a rotten egg odor. Also, some of these by-products can cause a CO detector to falsely activate. In order to help prevent false activation, Zoeller Pump Company recommends moving the battery as far away from the CO detector as possible or, if necessary, vent the battery to the exterior. Zoeller Pump Company provides the previous statements only as guidelines to help prevent false activation of the CO detector. In no way are they meant to supersede the instructions that accompany the detector, nor do they supersede advice from the CO detector manufacturer.

If the audible alarm associated with your CO detector is activated, we recommend the following actions:

Take immediate action for personal safety as recommended in the CO detector literature.
Contact the appropriate agency to determine if the CO is being produced by your furnace, water heater, or any other device which uses natural gas.
If you are certain that no CO is being produced, a charging battery may be producing gaseous by-products which are causing the CO detector to activate. Contact the manufacturer and ask for recommendations to prevent the alarm activation. © Copyright 2024 Zoeller® Co. All rights reserved.
