Description

The 12 Volt Advanced Notification System includes a DC backup sump pump, an electronic controller with digital display, and an auto-dialer. Optimal back-up power is supplied by a 12 volt battery (not included). The system is designed for home sump applications. When an electrical power outage occurs, the electronic controller automatically switches the sump pump to battery power. Power loss will initiate a phone call via the autodialer to the phone number(s) entered by the homeowner. With a 24-hour monitor and a predetermined full system check, the system tells you it’s status via a digital display and alerts you to potential problems with an audible horn and phone call.

Battery acid is corrosive. Avoid spilling on skin or clothing. Eye protection MUST be worn when handling the battery.

A check valve MUST be used on the primary and back-up sump discharge.

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 Information

The system is designed to operate most efficiently with a deep cycle, sealed lead (Pb) acid (SLA) battery. A deep cycle marine battery can also be used. Sealed lead acid batteries cost slightly more, but they can last longer than a wet cell battery and are maintenance free. The oversize battery case (included) will accomodate one 12 Volt battery up to a 27-frame size. Use a new battery. Chart 1 illustrates the expected performance with various battery combinations. Do not use batteries rated below 40 amp

hours. Be certain that the area around the battery is well ventilated. Before servicing the battery, blow away gasses by waving a piece of cardboard near the battery. An assistant should be present or close enough to come to your aid in the event of an emergency. Have a reliable source of fresh water and soap nearby in case battery acid contacts clothing, skin or eyes. Wear eye and clothing protection when working around lead acid batteries. Avoid touching your eyes when working around lead acid batteries.

Explosion hazard. Smoking and open flames prohibited. Battery recharging and

connections MUST be performed in a well ventilated area.

*Assumes a typical 10 ft. rise on the discharge pipe, and 17 in. diameter sump pit. Results may vary.

BACK-UP PUMP:

1.The pump will turn on when either the bottom or top float rises.

2.The pump motor will keep running for 15 seconds after the float drops.

3.An auto-test of the back-up pump will occur every 7 days between the hours of 5pm-7pm. The controller will report any known issues and record the date of the last auto-test on the home screen.

4.The last known float activated back-up pump run date can be found by scrolling through the main menu selections.

Installation of this unit MAY take several hours. Before disabling your main pump, have a stand by

pump ready or an appropriate means of evacuating the sump.

Electric shock hazard. DISCONNECT power before servicing. Apply a fixed lock or tag to

prevent unexpected application of power.

1.Turn power to main pump off.

2.Pump must be installed using 1-1/4 in. or 1-1/2 in. rigid PVC piping.

PUMP INSTALLATION

The 12 Volt Advanced Notification System can be installed as a back-up system with a separate dedicated discharge line (Method 1), or tied into an existing sump pump line (Method 2).

1.Verify that the existing AC pump is in good working order. If the AC pump is questionable, replace with the same HP pump or increase the HP rating if you have experienced flooding or the pump is not keeping up with the inflow of water.

2.Remove any silt or accumulated debris from the sump pit and surrounding area.

3.Make sure that disconnecting the AC pump will not create a flood in your basement. A pump should be available to evacuate water in the event incoming water rates should change.

METHOD 1 (PREFERRED) - See Figure 1

Check valves MUST be installed in the discharge line of both the main AC pump and the

back-up DC pump. Failure to install the check valves MAY allow water to recirculate into the sump pit. See Figures 1 and 2.

1.Locate the DC pump on a solid, level surface in the sump pit. Do NOT place the pump on a loose or sandy surface. Small stones or sand may damage the pump resulting in pump failure.

2.This pump has a 1-1/2 in. NPT discharge. If a 1-1/4 in. discharge pipe is desired, an adapter (not included) will be necessary. Smaller diameter piping will reduce pump flow-rate and performance.

3.A check valve is required in the discharge line of both the Main AC pump and the Back-Up DC Pump to prevent recirculation of water into the sump pit. The system will not function without two check valves.

4.Cut a 4 ft. section of 1-1/4 in. or 1-1/2 in. diameter rigid PVC pipe. Cement 1-1/4 in. or 1-1/2 in. pipe to a threaded fitting. Cement 1-1/4 in. or 1-1/2 in. pipe into pipe coupling. Attach 1-1/4 in. or 1-1/2 in. pipe section to the Back-Up DC Pump discharge adapter.

5.Screw into pump discharge.

DO NOT over tighten or cross-thread plastic fittings or check valves. USE rigid PVC or metal

pipe for permanent installation.

6.Place the pump with the 4 ft. section of PVC pipe on a solid, level surface in the sump pit on an elevated surface.

7.Attach a rubber check valve (sold separately) to the top of the discharge pipe. This will allow the pump or check valve to be removed easily for servicing.

8.Check valve is recommended for effective operation of system.

The remainder of the discharge pipe installation will vary depending on individual circumstances. Using sound plumbing practices, route the discharge pipe to an exterior wall by the shortest path. Keep turns to a minimum because they reduce flow output of the pump. The pipe that exits the building structure should be sloped downward so that water will not freeze in the pipe.

When installing the separate discharge pipe, drill through the outside wall with appropriate drilling equipment. Seal the hole to prevent water from entering.

METHOD 2 - See Figure 2

Check valves MUST be installed in the discharge line of both the main AC pump and

the back-up DC pump. Failure to install the check valves MAY allow water to recirculate into the sump pit. See Figures 1 and 2.

If a separate, dedicated discharge is not possible as in Method 1, the Back-Up DC Pump can be tied into the AC-operated pump’s discharge pipe by installing a “Y” or "T" connector. Two check valves will be required.

2.This pump has a 1-1/2 in. NPT discharge. If a 1-1/4 in. discharge pipe is desired, an adapter (sold separately, part #66002-WYN1 adapter or equivalent) will be necessary. Smaller diameter piping will reduce pump flow-rate and performance.

3.A check valve will be required in the discharge line of both the Main AC pump and the Back-Up DC pump to prevent recirculation of water into the sump pit. System will not function without two check valves.

4.Cut a 4 ft. section of 1-1/4 in. or 1-1/2 in. diameter rigid PVC pipe. Cement 1-1/2 in. pipe to a threaded fitting. Cement 1-1/4 in. pipe into pipe coupling. Attach 1-1/4 in. pipe section to the Back-Up DC Pump discharge adapter.

Do NOT strip or cross thread plastic fittings or check valves. Flex hose is NOT

recommended. Rigid PVC or metal pipe is required for permanent installation.

5.Screw into pump discharge.

6.Place the pump with the 4 ft. section of PVC pipe on the sump floor or on an elevated surface if required.

7.Attach a rubber check valve (sold separately) to the top of the discharge pipe. This will allow the pump or check valve to be removed easily for servicing.

8.Duplicate the discharge piping arrangement for the primary AC pump if the existing discharge line has to be adjusted to accommodate a second pump.

9.Glue a 45º elbow to the short pipe on the Back-Up DC Pump. Glue a “Y” adapter to the short pipe on the existing pump, as shown in illustration for Method 2.

10.Glue a short piece of PVC pipe between the 45º elbow and the “Y”.

The remainder of the discharge pipe installation will vary depending on individual circumstances. Using sound plumbing practices, route the discharge pipe to an exterior wall by the shortest distance.

METHODS 1 AND 2

Install float switch at least 10 in. -12 in. above bottom of sump pit so that back-up unit turns on only when the water level is higher than the normal “on” level for main pump. Make sure power wires and hose clamp ends do not interfere with float switch, pump inlet, or main pump operation. The back-up pump must not be allowed to run dry except during the 20 second "auto-test. Incoming water can not flow directly onto the float switch. Failure to position properly may cause improper operation. Position the float switch so that it will not interfere with any portion of the plumbing, wiring, or sump pit. Check for clearance by lifting both floats.

Notification System

PHONE SERVICE AND POWER OUTAGES

The 12 Volt Advanced Notification System is designed and certified by the FCC to operate on a standard telephone line and connects to a standard phone jack. The System dials out using touch tone dialing only. Must have an active phone line that is detectable by the 12 Volt Advanced Notification System.

The 12 Volt Advanced Notification System does work with DSL, Cable, or Digital phone services with the appropriate in-line filters. If the modem doesn’t produce a “dial tone” it will not be able to place a phone call. If the 12 Volt Advanced Notification System is unable to place a call while using one of these services, please contact your phone service provider for assistance.

POWER OUTAGES: DSL, Digital, and Cable provided phone services DO NOT WORK

when AC Power is lost. The 12 Volt Advanced Notification System will NOT be able to call out if the power is out when using these phone services. A back-up battery system (UPS-uninterrupted power supply) is required to keep the modem and/or system active for a minimum of 8 hours. Check with your phone service provider for details regarding UPS sizing for your installation. Standard telephone lines are self-powered by the telephone company and usually not affected unless the phone service itself is interrupted.

PHONE NUMBER ENTRY AND STORAGE

The 12 Volt Advanced Notification System uses an onboard auto-dialer and microprocessor to place pre-recorded phone calls regarding the status of your back-up system. The System is capable of notifying up to five phone numbers (60 digits each) of your choice. The System stores each of your phone numbers locally and will not lose or erase your phone numbers due to a power outage or battery dying. Before you start entering phone numbers, DO NOT enter phone numbers of emergency services (fire, police, or ambulance).

CELL PHONES: The 12 Volt Advanced Notification System will call all phones that a basic telephone will connect with. It does not differentiate between a cellular phone or land line phone.

Cellular calls are based upon having adequate reception.

BSM55

CRITICAL STEP: It is recommended that a person at the call-to location confirms receiving the test phone call. Validate all calls before concluding that the system setup is finished.

ENTERING AND CHANGING PHONE NUMBERS

When programming phone numbers into the System, enter each phone number into the phone setup screens exactly as you would when making a personal phone call.

Two phone number entry methods:

1.As part of the Installation Setup procedure (follow the on screen prompts) or,

2.From the “Home Screen”, select “MENU”, enter the security code (if prompted), then locate the “Phone Setup” option and then press the button for “ENTER”.

a.You can modify, delete, or verify within this selection.

b.To delete any number, simply press “DEL” and it will backspace as needed.

c.To EDIT a number, re-enter the phone number and it will overwrite the existing number.

PROPER PHONE NUMBER ENTRY

System can place local calls, long distance calls, and even international calls. The use of calling cards is not recommended for they are difficult to enter and can change without notice and result in a phone call never being made.

Example:

*Local Number: 123-4567

*Long Distance: 1 [phone]

* International: Country code, followed by 1, then the phone number. For proper dialing instructions or further assistance, contact your service provider. Enter the phone number exactly as you would when dialing a call yourself. If your local number requires the area code, enter as needed.

CREATING PAUSES WHEN ENTERING PHONE NUMBERS:

Some phone calls require accessing an outside telephone line from a digital system. Obtain the digit(s) necessary to access the outside line (dialing “9” to access an outside line is most common). A time delay may be required to let the system fully access the outside line and this is accomplished by entering two “stars” (**) after dialing the 9.

The following examples use a “9” to access the outside phone line followed by a 2 second delay before the auto-dialer is initiated to place an automated phone call by the System:

Local call: 9** then 123-4567

Long distance call: 9** then 1 [phone]

TIME DELAYS

** = 2 seconds, **** = 4 seconds, ****** = 6 seconds

All stars (*) must be entered in multiples of 2 or the system will not recognize them as actual time delays.

PHONE TEST

After entering all phone numbers, it is crucial that you test your System to verify that it can reach the call list phone numbers.

The CANCEL key does not function when the System is in "test mode".

TESTING YOUR 12 VOLT ADVANCED NOTIFICATION SYSTEM PHONE NUMBERS

To test the System, do the following:

1. Make sure the System is powered up, phone line is

connected, and the "Home Screen" has no error messages. To make sure all timers and errors are cleared from the system memory, press and hold the "RESET" button for

a minimum of 3-5 seconds.

2.Press the MENU button followed by the “Phone Setup” option.

3.Scroll to the desired phone number, hit ENTER, then select the TEST option.

The system will immediately dial the desired phone number. Upon answering, the unit will play the following message: “This is a test of the back-up system.” It will repeat this message for approximately “1” minute and then hang up. The display will prompt you asking if the test was successful, if Yes, it returns to the home screen. If “NO”, it will retest.

4. Repeat Steps 2 and 3 to test the remaining phone numbers.

The System does not provide any indication of call success; therefore, you must verify that the call was made successfully.

TESTING FOR A SPECIFIC ALARM CONDITION

To test for a specific alarm condition you will have to simulate that specific alarm condition and then verify if the alarm phone calls went through. In those scenarios, you must cancel the alarm call out sequence and correct the alarm condition by pressing and holding the RESET button for a minimum of 5 seconds.

HOW THE SYSTEM WORKS WITH VOICE MAIL OR AN ANSWERING MACHINE

When it is necessary to connect an answering machine or voice mail device to the same phone line as the System, you can still use all the features of these devices, along with being able to check status and cancel an alarm call out of the System.

HOW THIS WORKS:

The System can answer incoming calls to check the system status. To do this, the ring count must be set to answer on either “5” or “10” rings (default setting is 10 rings, change this setting from the Main Menu>Set Ring Count).

Set your answering machine or voice mail to answer in fewer rings than the System. (For example, if the System is set to answer on 5 rings, set the answering machine/voice mail to answer in “4” or fewer rings.) Therefore, when a call comes into the location of the System, the answering machine/voice mail will respond first because it is set to answer in fewer rings than the System.

RING COUNT TIMER

The ring count timer works in the following way: when the first call comes in during an alarm event, the internal system timer starts counting down for “3” continuous minutes. If the System receives enough rings to answer (within “3” minutes), it will respond, and the ring counter will reset to “0” regardless if the three minutes have elapsed or not. Also, the timer will reset

to “0” if no additional calls are received during a three minute period (multiple calls to the System within “3”minutes will not reset the ring timer).

CALLING THE 12 VOLT ADVANCED NOTIFICATION SYSTEM DURING AN ALARM EVENT

Example:

1)The back-up system is set to answer in 5 rings (ring count setting).

2)The answering machine/voice mail is set to answer in "4" rings or fewer.

To get the System to respond given the above example criteria, do the following:

1.Call the phone number of the location where the System is located, and let the phone ring “3” times

www.blueangelpumps.com

7

Operating Instructions and Parts Manual

and then hang up. The internal 3-minute timer starts and the System tallies and remembers the number of rings.

2.On your second call within “3” minutes, let the phone ring until the System answers. The System will answer

first because it remembered the first “3” rings, and then answers with an audible system status. If done properly, the

If the System is set to answer in 10 rings (one of the Menu selectable options), you will need to

place more calls within "3" minutes to get the System to eventually answer. answering machine/voice mail will not answer.

HOW TO CANCEL ALARM PHONE CALLS FROM YOUR SYSTEM

To cancel the alarm phone call from one of the numbers in the phone call list:

To cancel a call out sequence from the System while listening to an alarm message, do the following:

1.Answer the phone call.

2.Listen to the alarm message.

3.When told, press the number “1” key followed by the pound (#) key within “1” minute to cancel the alarm call out. You can cancel the call at anytime during the message.

4.You can listen until you hear the System say goodbye or just hang up the phone.

5.If you do not cancel the call, the system will call the next number in your phone number list. The first cancel will stop all calls for all numbers. This sequence will repeat every 15 minutes until a call is cancelled.

To cancel the alarm phone call using the System display:

Press and hold the RESET button once to cancel the call (phone icon is present) and the RESET up to 5 seconds if multiple errors/alarms are present on the display to stop receiving phone calls. You will then be required to also clear/reset the message(s) on the display.

Canceling the call out sequence does not cancel an active alarm. System will continue

to beep and the alarm message will be displayed on the digital display until you hit reset for each message/condition. If you do not hit reset, each alarm message on the display system will recall the phone number(s) in the last 72 hours as a reminder for the uncleared alarm conditions.

PLACE A PHONE CALL TO YOUR SYSTEM TO CANCEL AN ALARM

To cancel a call out sequence during an active alarm condition, do the following:

1.Make the call to the System (phone number at alarm location)

2.Wait for the System to answer (5 or 10 rings Menu option selectable)

3.Listen to the alarm message.

4.Press the number “1” key followed by the pound (#) key anytime during the message to cancel the alarm call out and then hang up the phone.

REMOTE STATUS CHECK

The System will answer incoming calls if a warning condition exists on the display. When no alarm issue exists, you will get a general status update. If the call out sequence has been cancelled for an alarm by pressing "1" then "#" on the phone,

but the alarm condition still exists on the display, the System will answer and describe the alarm condition.

CANCELING AN ALARM CALL OUT SEQUENCE WITH AN ANSWERING MACHINE/VOICE MAIL DEVICE ON THE SAME PHONE LINE

To cancel the alarm call out-sequence, do the following:

STEP ACTION

1.Make the call to the System (phone number at alarm location).

2.Let the phone ring the desired number of times (before the other in-line answering machine/voice mail can answer), Hang the phone up.

3.Call the number a second time within three minutes (The System keeps track of all the rings from the previous

calls, accumulates them until the total ring count matches its ring count number, 5 or 10, and then it will answer). Listen to the alarm message.

4.Press the number “1” key followed by the pound (#) key anytime during the message to cancel the alarm call out. Hang up the phone.

Operation

1.After installation, the back-up pump will start once the water level raises the bottom float.

2.The System has a charging circuitry designed to optimize 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 15 seconds after the switch reaches the off position.

3.MUTE FUNCTION: Press the mute button once to silence the alarm for 12, 24, or 48 hours (menu selectable). To turn off the mute timer, press and hold the RESET button down for 5 seconds.

Battery Care and Maintenance

Explosion hazard. Smoking and open flames prohibited.

Battery recharging and connections MUST be performed in a well ventilated area. Before servicing the batteries, blow away the gases by waving a piece of cardboard near the batteries.

1.Unplug the transformer.

2.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.

3.If the battery fluid levels are low or battery plates are exposed, refer to the manufacturer's recommendations on how to replenish properly.

4.Inspect the terminals and clamps for corrosion and tightness. Clean and tighten as required.

An inexpensive hydrometer can be purchased at an automotive parts dealer.

EXTENSION CORDS

We DO NOT recommend using extension cords, but if you find it absolutely necessary then:

1.Use at least a 16 gauge cord that does not exceed 50 feet in length.

www.blueangelpumps.com

BSM55

2.The extension cord must have a ground wire and plug pin and be connected to a properly functioning GFCI receptacle.

3.Make sure the connection between the transformer and extension cord are elevated off the floor.

Security System Installation and Setup

Electric shock hazard. Disconnect power before servicing. Apply a fixed

lock or tag to prevent unexpected application of power.

The advanced notification system produces auto-dialer alerts and can also notify your 3rd party home security system provider (if available). A qualified home security technician is required when making connections between the two systems. An access port is available on the back of the lid in which

the qualified technician can properly connect the advanced notification system to the security system. (See Figure 5)

FOR SIGNAL USAGE ONLY. NC/NO Output: 12 Volt DC, 2 amp max.

Figure 5 - Security system setup

The inner shield will have to be removed during this step. Be sure not to damage any components on the control board.

At this time, you may wish to change the system settings. Since both the auto-dialer and security system cannot access the phone line at the same time, you must choose which system the software accesses first. If you wish the security system to have first priority, on the main menu, scroll to and select the "SECURITY SETUP" option, select "Security has Priority" and hit "Enter" to confirm. The factory default setting is "Back-up has Priority".

If you choose, you can test the security notification by simulating any of the security notification alerts. (See Figure 6)

DO NOT overtighten screw.

Replace the inner shield once all connections and tests have been validated.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

1.To test the back-up pump, unplug the main pump and transformer and fill sump with water until the water lifts the bottom float therefore activating the back-up pump. Repeat this process two times to be sure pump is operating normally.

2.If pump operates normally, plug the transformer into wall outlet and plug the main pump back in. Verify the main pump is operational by repeating step 1 above.

FCC STATEMENT

This equipment complies with Part 68 of the FCC rules and the requirements adopted by the ACTA (American Council for Terminal Attachments). On the inside cover of your unit is a label that contains, among other information, the FCC

registration number for this product. If requested, this number

must be provided to the telephone company.

PLUG AND JACK USE

A plug and jack used to connect this equipment to the premises wiring and telephone network must comply with the applicable FCC Part 68 rules and requirements adopted by the ACTA.

A compliant modular plug is provided with this product. It is designed to be connected to a compatible modular jack that is also compliant. See installation instructions for details.

RING EQUIVALENCE NUMBER (REN)

The REN is used to determine the number of devices that may be connected to a telephone line. Excessive REN’s on a telephone line may result in the devices not ringing in response to an incoming call. In most, but not all areas, the sum of RENs should not exceed five (5.0). To be certain of the number of devices that may be connected to a line, as determined by the total REN’s, contact your local telephone company. The REN for this product is listed on the inside of the controller lid with the FCC identifier.

TELEPHONE NETWORK INTERFERENCES

If this System causes harm to the telephone network, the telephone company will notify you in advance that temporary discontinuance of service may be required. But if advance notice isn’t practical, the telephone company will notify the customer as soon as possible. Also, you will be advised of your right to file a complaint with the FCC if you believe it is necessary. The

telephone company may make changes in its facilities, equipment, operations or procedures that could affect the operation of the equipment. If this happens, the telephone company will provide advance notice in order for you to make necessary modifications to maintain uninterrupted service. If the equipment is causing harm to the telephone network, the telephone company may request that you disconnect the equipment until the problem is resolved.

If your home has specially wired alarm equipment connected to the telephone line ensure the installation of your System does not disable your alarm equipment. If you have questions about what will disable alarm equipment, consult your telephone company or a qualified installer.
