Sump Pump
Description
The ESP15 is a battery operated back-up sump pump. It does not replace a regular pump. It is designed to provide protection in the event household electrical power fails.
Safety Guidelines
This manual contains information that is very important to know and understand. This information is provided for SAFETY and to PREVENT EQUIPMENT PROBLEMS. To help recognize this information, observe the following symbols.
Danger indicates an imminently
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, will result in death or serious injury.
Warning indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Caution indicates a potentially
hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury.
Notice indicates important
information, that if not followed, may cause damage to equipment.
General Safety
Information
Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use
in a flammable and/or explosive atmosphere. Pump should only be used to pump clear water. Fatal injury and/or property damage could result.
If the basement has water or moisture on the floor, do not walk on wet area until all
power is turned off. If the shutoff box is in the basement, call an electrician. Remove pump and either repair or replace. Failure to follow this warning could result in fatal electrical shock.
All wiring must be performed by a
qualified electrician.
Do not expose battery to sparks or flames as an explosion or fire could result.
Battery
acid is corrosive. Avoid
yyy,,,
spilling on skin or clothing. Eye protection must be worn when handling the battery.
A check valve must be used on
the primary sump pump discharge (see Figure 1)
A ground fault circuit interrupter is
required.
This pump must only be used to pump
clear water. This pump is not designed to handle effluent, salt water, brine, laundry discharge or any other application which may contain caustic chemicals and/or foreign materials. Pump damage may occur if used in these applications and will void warranty.
Battery Requirements
1.Use only a new fully charged 12 volt deep cycle battery. Electrolyte level must be checked and maintained in accordance with manufacturer’s guidelines.
2.Battery sizes that will fit into the battery box are 24C, 24VCM, 27C, 27CM and 27F.
3.Battery recharge time will be different at each installation. Under normal conditions it will take two to four days to bring a deep cycle battery back to full charge after it has
4 inch min. |

3.Measure and cut discharge pipe so that back-up pump is a minimum of 1 inch above the main pump. This will allow main pump to operate normally (see Figure 1).
4.Check the fit of the components before permanently attaching. Using PVC cement, glue tee in place. Note

8.The standby pump’s float switch should be installed so that it will not activate until the standby pump’s inlet is under water. Use the wire ties provided to secure the float switch (see Figure 4). Make sure power wires do not interfere with float switch or pump inlet.
9.Attach control box to the side of battery box as shown in Figure 5. Place battery in box, attach red cable to positive battery post and black cable to negative post. Put lid on box and strap closed.

If cables are reversed, damage to
the control box or battery could result, and warranty will be void.
10.Place battery box within six feet of the sump and a 115 VAC separately fused outlet. The outlet must be protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). The area must also be clean, dry and well-ventilated.
11.Plug the float switch, pump and charger into the control box. The connections are marked on the control box.
12.Test pump operation by filling the sump with water while the main pump is unplugged. If the pump operates properly, plug the charger into the GFCI protected outlet to begin charging the battery.
13.Protect electrical cord from sharp objects, hot surfaces, oil and chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord and replace damaged components immediately.
Operation
Always disconnect the power source before attempting to install,
service, relocate or maintain the pump. Never touch sump pump, pump motor, water or discharge piping when pump is connected to electrical power. Never handle a pump or pump motor with wet hands or when standing on wet or damp surface or in water. Fatal electrical shock could occur.
Risk of
electrical shock! Use a
GFCI receptacle to reduce the risk of fatal electrical shock.
Cutting the cord or plug will void the warranty and make the pump inoperable.
1.After installation, the standby pump will start when the water level rises above the depth that the primary pump should start.
2.The control box has a DC charger designed to shorten the recharging time of your battery, and to prevent overcharging. In addition, the control box has a time delay which keeps the pump from repeated, short cycles when it shuts off. This time delay feature will allow the pump to run two to three seconds after the switch reaches the off position.
3.The control box contains a multicolored indicator light. When AC power is present, the light will indicate the charging state, and not reflect actual battery voltage, particularly with a defective battery. In order for the indicator light to provide an accurate reading, steps “a” through “d” must be followed.
a.Unplug main AC pump and the charger--a power off alert tone will sound for 30 seconds.
b.Lift and release the float switch to activate the standby pump.
c.When the pump stops, read the test light:
Green: Indicates battery is charged.
Yellow: Voltage is low, indicating battery is partially charged.
Red: Battery is completely discharged or defective.
d. Plug in charger and main AC pump.
When AC power is out, and when pump has been running, the light will indicate battery status.

Maintenance |

4.A chirping sound from the control box will accompany the red light, indicating that the battery may require attention or replacement. Voltage is only an indicator of battery condition and may not reflect the true condition of the battery. See Maintenance for instruction on assessing battery condition.
5.A single thirty-second tone will sound when power to the system is interrupted. The unit will reset automatically when power is restored. A three-second tone will sound every time the pump starts.
Always disconnect the electrical supply before attempting to install,
service, relocate or perform any maintenance. If the power source is out of sight, lock and tag in the open (off) position to prevent unexpected power application. Failure to do so could result in fatal electrical shock. Only qualified electricians should repair this unit. Improper repair could result fatal in electrical shock.
1.Once a month, check battery condition.
2.Unplug the wall charger.
3.For batteries with top caps that can be removed, the electrolyte level should be checked and filled to
manufacturer’s specifications. The charge for each cell should be checked with a hydrometer. A specific gravity of 1.265 indicates the battery is at full charge. If the specific gravity of any of the cells varies more than .050, the battery should be replaced.
NOTE: An inexpensive hydrometer can be purchased at an automotive parts dealer.
4.Inspect the terminals and clamps for corrosion and tightness. Clean and tighten as required.
5.Unplug the main pump and fill sump with water until back up pump turns on. Repeat process two times to be sure pump is operating normally.
6.If pump operates normally, plug charger into wall outlet, turn on main pump. If pump fails to operate normally, see Troubleshooting guide and correct problem. Repeat step 5.
