Description
The AC/DC Sump Pump System
includes a submersible sump pump
and a Power Supply/Battery Charger
(PS/BC). Backup power is supplied by
two 12 volt batteries (not included).
The system is designed for home sump
applications. When an electrical power
outage occurs, the PS/BC automatically
switches the sump pump to battery
power so it will continue to pump
water. There is no need for a back up
sump pump. Using LED’s (Light
Emitting Diodes), the PS/BC also alerts
you to potential problems.

damaged
Low battery
1. Battery polarity is incorrect
2. Battery voltage too low

Have unit checked by qualified electrician
3. Reset GFCI
4. Have outlet checked by electrician
1. Replace pump fuse. Use Bussmann AGC10 or Littlefuse 312010
2. Remove impeller. Check for damage to bore or bearing
Apply AC power or replace batteries
1. Recheck battery polarity
2. Replace batteries
1. Remove filter and clean. Remove debris from float switch area
2. Place a brick under the pump
1. Check for proper installation of power cord into the PS/BC
2. Remove filter and clean. Remove debris from float switch area
3. Remove filter and clean. Remove debris from float switch area
1. Install or replace check valve
2. Place a brick under the pump
3. Remove filter and clean
1. Check for restrictions in discharge line, flood is immanent. Shut
off AC power before entering flooded area
2. Remove impeller, check for debris in inlet
3. Remove and inspect thrust bearing
1. If the battery is in otherwise good condition, it is normal for
the circuit breaker to cycle ON and OFF several times before
the battery recovers enough to allow a normal charge rate. If
this happens on a regular basis, however, the batteries may be
too large for the PS/BC and it could be damaged. Replace
batteries
2. A battery in this condition may cause the breaker to cycle
continuously. The battery will not accept a charge. Replace
both batteries

“Click” inside PS/BC.
An overload is
indicated when you
hear a distinct “click”
from the DC circuit
breaker internal to the
PS/BC. A 3-5 minute
cooling off period
occurs before the PS/BC
resets itself. If the
overload condition still
exists, the cycle will
repeat. Regardless of
what is causing the
circuit breaker to cycle,
unattended or routine
operation in this
manner could result in
serious damage to the
PS/BC and the battery.

General Safety
Information
(Continued)
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.
Pump Installation
Installation may
take several hours.
Do not disable an existing sump pump
until you have established an
appropriate way to evacuate sump pit.
1. Install pump in a sump pit with
minimum size as shown in Figure 2.
Construct sump pit of tile, concrete,
steel or plastic. If the sump pit
already exists, disconnect power to
existing pump and make certain pit
is the correct size.
2. The sump pump should be located
on a solid, level foundation. Do not
place pump directly on clay, earth,
gravel or a sandy surface. These
surfaces contain small stones, gravel,
sand, etc. that may clog or damage
the pump and cause pump failure.
Remove any silt or debris from the
sump pit and surrounding area.
Flood risk. If
flexible discharge
hose is temporarily used, make sure
pump is secured in sump pit to prevent
movement. Failure to secure pump
could result in flooding and property
damage.
Flexible discharge
hose is intended for
temporary use only. Rigid PVC or metal
pipe is required for a permanent
installation.
3. Thread check valve (not included)
into pump body. Avoid stripping or
cross threading. Do not use pipe joint
sealant.
4. The pump has a 1-1/2” NPT discharge.
If the existing piping is smaller, use
an adapter. Smaller diameter piping
will reduce the pump flow rate and
decrease its performance.
5. Connect rigid pipe to rubber boot on
check valve. Tighten hose clamps.
Support pump and
piping when
assembling and after installation.
Failure to do so could cause piping or
check valve to break, pump to fail, etc.,
which could result in property damage
and/or personal injury.
6. Protect electrical cord from sharp
objects, hot surfaces, oil and
chemicals. Avoid kinking the cord.
Replace a damaged cord immediately.
7. A sump pit cover must be installed to
prevent debris from clogging or
damaging the pump.
8. Fill sump with at least 6 inches of
water.
Battery Information
The system is designed to operate most
efficiently with sealed lead acid (SLA)
batteries at 24 volts. Two 12-volt 40amp hour SLA batteries provide
enough energy to pump more than
10,000 gallons of water from a
basement. Deep cycle marine batteries
or automotive style batteries can also
be used.
!
2
Operating Instructions And Parts Manual
Sealed lead acid batteries cost slightly
more, but they can last up to 10 years.
Deep cycle marine and automotive
batteries may have a shorter life – one
to two years. Among the
manufacturers of sealed lead acid
batteries are Hawker, Panasonic,
PowerSonic, Yuasa and Eagle Picher.
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).
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.
Working in the
vicinity of lead acid
batteries can be dangerous. Before
making connections or servicing the
batteries, read and follow instructions
in all applicable instruction manuals.
To reduce the risk of battery explosion,
follow the instructions in this manual
and those published by the battery
manufacturer, as well as those of any
other equipment used in the
surrounding 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
