Introduction The Pro Series 2200 AC/DC backup sump pump system is battery-operated. It is designed as an emergency backup system to support your regular AC sump pump, and it will automatically begin pumping if your main AC pump fails.
Pump & Pipe Installation Instructions 3. Place the pump with the 4’ PVC pipe attachment on the bottom of the sump floor next to the main AC pump. Do not mount the pump to any existing pipes...it should be placed on the floor of the sump. A brick may be placed under the pump if there are rocks or other debris on the sump floor.
Pump & Pipe Installation Instructions (Direct Discharge to Outside) METHOD Aa: DIRECT DISCHARGE TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING FOR NARROW SUMP PITS (Diagram Aa) 1. Attach an "L" bracket to the discharge pipe of the main AC pump with two (2) stainless steel hose clamps. Position the bracket so the bottom of the "L" is just above the top of the main pump, and out of the way of any float switch on the main pump. 2. (a) Remove the black bottom strainer of the pump by pressing in the two tabs on the strainer.
Pump & Pipe Installation Instructions pipe of the main AC pump, one must be installed at this time. Then install a "Y" connector above the check valve on the discharge pipe for the main AC pump. (Hookup to Existing Discharge Pipe) If the direct discharge method (Method A) is not possible, the Pro Series 2200 backup sump pump system can be hooked up to the same pipe as your AC sump pump by installing a "Y" connector and two check valves. Check your local plumbing codes.
Pump & Pipe Installation Instructions 5. If there is no check valve on the pipe of the main AC pump, one must be installed at this time. Then install a "Y" connector above the check valve on the discharge pipe for the main AC pump. 6. Secure the pump wire so that the plug on the end will not fall into the sump. Attach the wire to the pipe with tape. (Hookup to Existing Discharge Pipe) METHOD Bb: HOOKUP TO AN EXISTING DISCHARGE PIPE FOR NARROW SUMP PITS (Diagram Bb) 1. 2. 3. 4.
Battery Instructions The Pro Series 2200 Standby Battery has been designed to run this system for a minimum of 7.5 hours of continuous pumping. However, most of the time the pump will turn on and off, and the battery will run the pump intermittently for days. In addition, the unique materials in the battery enable it to last longer...for five to seven years in standby service. The use of automotive batteries is not recommended. Automotive batteries are not designed for this application.
Control Unit Hookup 1. Positioning the control unit: Position the control unit in a secure place approximately four feet (4’) above the floor. Be sure the power cord will reach the AC power outlet and the pump cable and the float switch will reach the bottom of the sump. Position the unit in a wellventilated area. (Diagram D) 2.
Understanding the Warnings & Alarms The Pro Series 2200 System control unit features a series of warning lights that pinpoint potential problems. In addition, an alarm sounds to alert you to the problem. In some cases, the lights and alarm will go off automatically when the problem has been solved. In others, the gray RESET button must be pushed to silence the alarm. Refer to the table below for a quick review of the features and their corresponding alarm status.

You may have to press the gray button to silence the pumping alarm. 3. Fill the battery following the instructions on page 7. 4. Coat the battery terminals with a little petroleum jelly and replace the battery cables, BLACK to the POSITIVE (+), post and WHITE to the NEGATIVE (-) post.
REPLACING THE PUMP hour to replace the battery. (In most cases the pump does not run continuously, and therefore, it will run much longer.) In a severe emergency, if a replacement battery is not available, you could temporarily use your car battery. 1. Unplug the pump from the back of the control unit. 2. Release the rubber union or check valve and remove the pump and the rigid PVC pipe section from the sump. 4 3. Unscrew the pipe and fitting from the old pump and screw them into the new pump.
