4. Repair and service of your DC backup sys tem should be per formed
by an authorized service station.
5. The installation of DC automatic back up pumps re quires the use
of a variable level fl oat switch for operation. It is the responsibility
of the installing party, to ensure that the teth ered fl oat switch will
not hang up on the pump ap pa ra tus or pit pe cu li ari ties and is
secured so the pump will turn “on” and “off”. It is recommended
that the pit be 18" in diameter or larger to ac com mo date both a
pri ma ry and a DC backup pump.

Operation of the Aquanot® Charger
The charger automatically monitors and charges your battery. In the event of a power outage the pump will be powered by the
battery. Once line power is restored, the charger will recharge the battery. If there is a failure of the primary pump, the charger will
supply power to the pump through the battery if line power is present; otherwise, the battery will take over until the problem has
been corrected.
The lights on the front panel of the charger indicate the state of system:
The red light: Indicates that AC line power is present.
The green light: Indicates that the battery is charged to 12V DC*.
During periods of extended power outage the charge on the battery may drop below 12V DC which would cause the green
light to go out. This is normal. The green light will be illuminated once the charger restores the voltage level to 12V DC.
The yellow light: Indicates that the battery is charged above 8V DC.
If the yellow light is not illuminated, it indicates that the charge on the battery is below 8V DC. If the line power is out, the pump
may have depleted the battery due to normal operation. If there has been no power outage and the primary pump is working
properly, it may indicate that the battery is defective or that the controller is defective. Refer to the Troubleshooting guide on
page 8 for further instructions.
If the Green and Yellow lights fl ash intermittently, refer to Section G in the Trouble Shooting Guide on page 8.
*Voltage is only one indicator of the state of the battery, and does not refl ect the true condition of the battery. Use a hydrometer to
more accurately determine the condition of the battery.
Operation of the Audible Alarm
All Aquanot® pump systems are equipped with an alarm which sounds when the pump is activated. The alarm will automatically
silence when the pumping cycle is completed.
Activation of the audible alarm indicates that the primary pump has failed or line power to the primary pump is not present. When-
ever the alarm is activated the primary pump and outlet should be inspected.
The On/Off switch, located on the side of the alarm enclosure, allows the audible alarm to be turned off, however, this practice is
not recommended. Verify that the alarm switch is in the “on” position, by manually turning the pump “on”.
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 circuits of the charger. It is for this reason that Star offers its own MaintenanceFree AGM Battery, which will power the pump for over 3½ hours without AC power. This time is based on continuous pumping at 10’
of static head. Actual times will vary depending on static head, volume of water entering the pit, and the condition of the battery.
When purchasing a battery for the Aquanot® II unit, 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 Gel-fi lled or AGM.
• Replace your battery every 3 years.
• Do not let corrosion build up on the battery terminals.
• Do not place your battery on a concrete fl oor where it will discharge faster.
• To check specifi c gravity, follow the instructions on a hydrometer (not applicable for Gel or AGM batteries).
PROTECT YOUR WARRANTY:
• Water level in batteries must be checked once a month (not applicable for Gel or AGM batteries).
NOTE: The purchase of an Aquanot® battery from Star Water Systems will extend the limited warranty to three years from date of
installation. The three year limited warranty is valid only when a complete system is purchased and used as a backup to a primary
dewatering system. A complete system includes the Aquanot® II Model S1585 and Aquanot® battery.

Carbon Monoxide Detectors
Whether you have an Aquanot® Battery Backup Sump Pump System, or a competitive brand, all batteries 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, we recommend moving the battery as far apart from the
CO detector as possible or, if necessary, vent the battery to the exterior. We provide 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:
1) Take immediate action for personal safety as recommended in the CO detector literature.
2) 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.
3) If you are certain that no CO is being produced, then a charging battery may be producing gaseous by-products which are
causing the CO detector to activate. Contact the manufacturer of the CO detector, and ask for recommendations as to what
can be done to prevent the alarm activation.
