Operating Instructions and Parts Manual

GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION (cont.)

A ground fault circuit interrupter is required.

This pump must only be used to pump clear water . This pump is not designed to handle efﬂ uent, 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 efﬁ ciently with sealed lead acid (SLA) batteries. Deep cycle marine batteries can also be used.

Sealed lead acid batteries cost slightly more, but they can last longer. WAYNE offers a 40 amp hour battery WSB1240 and a 75 amp hour battery WSB1275.

The oversize battery case (included) will accommodate two 12-volt SLA batteries or two 12-volt deep cycle marine batteries (up to a 27-frame size).

Retain blue foam pad to support WAYNE sealed lead-acid batteries. Use new, identical batteries (from the same manufacturer and of the same capacity). When batteries wear out replace them as a set. 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 batteries is well ventilated. Before servicing the batteries, blow away gasses by waving a piece of cardboard near the batteries.

Dangerous hydrogen gas can be released from batteries while charging. Sparks can ignite the gas in an enclosed space. Wear safety goggles when connecting batteries. Battery connections should be made in a well-ventilated area.

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.

If battery acid contacts your eye(s), ﬂ ush with cold running water for 10 minutes and seek immediate medical attention. If acid contacts your skin or clothing, wash immediately with soap and water .

Never smoke or allow a spark or ﬂ ame in the vicinity of the battery.

Avoid dropping metal tools on the battery posts because they may spark or short-circuit the system or battery, causing an explosion.

PUMP INSTALLATION

Installation of this unit may take several hours. Before disabling your main pump, have ready an appropriate means of evacuating the sump.

1. Turn power to main pump off.

2. Pump must be installed using 11/4” or 11/2” rigid PVC piping.

PUMP INSTALLATION

The ESP45 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).

Unplug the existing AC pump. Failure to follow this warning could result in fatal electrical shock.

1. Verify that the existing AC pump is in good working order. If the AC pump is questionable, it is typically recommended that the unit be replaced with a 1/3 or 1/2 HP pump.

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

METHOD 1 (PREFERRED)

1. Locate the ESP45 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 potential pump failure.

2. This pump has a 11/2” NPT discharge. If a 11/4” 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 will be required in the discharge line of both the Main AC pump and the ESP45 pump to prevent recirculation of water into the sump pit. System will not function without two check valves.

4. Cut a 4’ section of 11/4" or 11/2" diameter rigid PVC pipe. Cement 11/4" pipe to a threaded fitting. Cement 11/4" pipe into pipe coupling. Attach 11/4" pipe section to the ESP45 discharge adapter.

5. Screw on to pump discharge.

Be careful not to strip or cross thread plastic ﬁ ttings or check valves. Flex hose is not recommended. Rigid PVC or metal pipe is required for a permanent installation.

6. Place the pump with the 4’ 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 required for effective operation of system.

NOTE: Check valves can be placed directly in the pump discharge if desired. However , for ease of disassembly, it is recommended that check valves be placed above the sump as shown in Figure 2.

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 ﬂ ow 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

If a separate, dedicated discharge is not possible as in Method 1, the ESP45 pump can be tied in to the ACoperated pump’s discharge pipe by installing a “Y” connector. Two check valves will be required.

1. Locate the ESP45 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 potential pump failure.

2. This pump has a 11/2” NPT discharge. If a 11/4” discharge pipe is desired, an adapter (not included) will be necessary . Smaller diameter piping will reduce pump flow, rate and performance.

4. Cut a 4’ section of 11/4" or 11/2" diameter rigid PVC pipe. Cement 11/2" pipe to a threaded fitting. Cement 11/4" pipe into pipe coupling. Attach 11/4" pipe section to the ESP45 discharge adapter.

5. Screw on to pump discharge.

PUMP INSTALLATION (

CONTINUED)

Be careful not to strip or cross thread plastic ﬁ ttings or check valves. Flex hose is not recommended. Rigid PVC or metal pipe is required for a permanent installation.

6. Place the pump with the 4’ 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 ESP45 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”.

NOTE: Check valves can be placed directly in the pump discharge if desired. However , for ease of disassembly, it is recommended that check valves be placed above the sump as shown in Figure 3.

METHODS 1 AND 2

Install ﬂ oat switch at least 10”-12” above bottom of sump pit so that backup unit turns on only when the water level is higher than the normal “on” level for main pump. Use the hose clamps provided to secure the switch to the discharge pipe. Make sure power wires and hose clamp ends do not interfere with ﬂ oat switch, pump inlet, or main pump operation. Backup pump must not be allowed to run dry.

Use Power Supply/ Battery Charger (PS/BC) indoors, in a well-ventilated area. Do not expose PS/BC to rain or snow. Do not use an extension cord. Do not disassemble PS/BC. Be sure PS/BC ventilation holes are unobstructed. If PS/BC is dropped or damaged, do not operate; return to manufacturer for service.

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 backup pump will start when the water level rises above the depth that the primary pump should start.

2. The PS/BC 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 15 seconds after the switch reaches the off position.

3. Press the green mute button once to silence the alarm for 4 hours, the red LED will flash 3 times to let you know the command was accepted.

MAINTENANCE

Unplug main AC pump and the charger. Risk of electrical shock!

Always disconnect the electrical supply before attempting to install, service, relocate or per-form 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 qualiﬁ ed electricians should repair this unit. Improper repair could result in fatal electrical shock.
