Important Safety Warnings & Instructions SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS. This manual contains important SAFETY WARNINGS and OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS for the PHCC Pro Series 2400 battery backup sump pump system. You will need to refer to it before attempting any installation or maintenance. ALWAYS keep these instructions with the unit so that they will be easily accessible. Failure to read and follow these warnings and instructions could result in property damage, serious injury, or death.
To extend the battery run time, two batteries may be connected to the Pro Series 2400 system by purchasing a second battery and acid pack, as well as a set of battery jumper cables. Jumper cables specifically designed for this use are available from the manufacturer, Glentronics, Inc.
Pump & Pipe Installation Instructions NORMAL SUMP PIT INSTALLATIONS Whenever possible, install your Pro Series backup pump with a direct discharge to the outdoors. By using this method, there will always be an outlet for the water from the sump. During times of very heavy rain, many storm sewers fill up. If your pump is trying to discharge water into a full sewer, there is nowhere for the water to go. By discharging directly outdoors, there is always an outlet for the water that is pumped out of the sump.
Pump & Pipe Installation Instructions INSTALLATION A: DIRECT DISCHARGE TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING (Diagram A) ! DANGER Unplug the main AC pump when installing the backup pump to avoid electric shock. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death. 1. Cut a piece of 1½” rigid PVC pipe long enough to reach from the bottom of the sump pit to one (1) foot above the floor. Prime and cement it to a 1½” pipe adapter, then screw the adapter into the pump. 2.
Pump & Pipe Installation Instructions INSTALLATION B: CONNECTION TO AN EXISTING DISCHARGE PIPE (Diagram B) Depending on your installation requirements, PVC pipe lengths will vary. Cut the pipes and assemble them as shown in photo #7. Do not cement them together until you are sure they are cut to the correct lengths. It is important to keep the discharge pipes on both pumps parallel to each other, so that the pumps remain flat on the floor of the sump. More detailed instructions follow.
Pump & Pipe Installation Instructions INSTALLATION C: DIRECT DISCHARGE TO THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUILDING FOR NARROW SUMP PITS (Diagram C) ! DANGER Unplug the main AC pump when installing the backup pump to avoid electric shock. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death. 1. Attach an “L” bracket to the discharge pipe of the main AC pump with two (2) stainless steel hose clamps.
Pump & Pipe Installation Instructions INSTALLATION D: CONNECTION TO EXISTING DISCHARGE PIPE FOR NARROW SUMP PITS (Diagram D) Depending on your installation requirements, PVC pipe lengths will vary. Cut the pipes and assemble them as shown in photo #8. Do not cement them together until you are sure they are cut to the correct lengths. It is important to keep the discharge pipes on both pumps parallel to each other, so that the pumps remain flat on the floor of the sump. More detailed instructions follow.
Battery Instructions PREPARING THE PRO SERIES STANDBY BATTERY A new Pro Series 2200 Standby Battery will run this system for a minimum of 8 hours continuously. However, most of the time the pump will turn on and off, and this battery will run the pump intermittently for days. The Pro Series Standby batteries are shipped dry (without acid) so they never lose power before you take them home. A battery is activated when the acid is added, and then it slowly begins to deteriorate as it ages.
the battery plates, and then go back and top off each cell equally. It is important to have all the cells filled equally or the battery will not operate properly. The acid should reach a level about ¼” below the cap ring as shown on page 8. DO NOT OVERFILL THE BATTERY. (Diagram E) BATTERY B If your battery looks like the battery above, follow these instructions. 1. Remove the cover of the battery box by pushing in the tabs on the front and back of the box and lifting up. 2.
Fan the area around the top of the battery with a piece of cardboard (or another non-metallic material) to remove any hydrogen or oxygen gas that may have been emitted from the battery. (a) Place the fluid sensor in the hole provided on the top of the battery. It is located in the second cell from the positive post, and the location is marked by an arrow on the top label. Hold the sensor straight up and press it firmly into the hole. Do not bend the sensor.
If this warning light and alarm are on, you need to add distilled water to the battery. 1. Unplug the control unit power cord from the wall outlet. 2. Remove the cover of the battery box by pushing in the tabs on the front and back, then lifting up. 3. Fan the area around the top of the battery with a piece of cardboard (or another nonmetallic material) to remove any hydrogen or oxygen gas that may have been emitted from the battery. 2 4.
3. Fan the area around the top of the battery with a piece of cardboard (or another nonmetallic material) to remove any hydrogen or oxygen gas that may have been emitted from the battery. 4. Remove the fluid sensor from the top of the battery. Unscrew the wing nuts and remove the battery cables. 2 5. Clean the battery posts with a battery post terminal cleaner or a wire brush. 6. Clean any corrosion off of the ring connectors on the ends of the battery wires. Use a stiff brush or sandpaper.
the arrow. (c) If using a maintenance free battery you must attach the fluid sensor to the positive post of the battery to silence the fluid alarm. 9. Plug the power cord back into the wall outlet. (You should provide additional protection for the control unit by using a surge protector.) 8a 10. If any of the alarms are sounding, press the GRAY button on the front of the control panel for one (1) second. 3 There are several causes for power failure.
2. If the pump wires are intact, the pump may be clogged. (a) Disconnect the control unit from the wall outlet, and disconnect the battery cables. (b) Release the union or check valve and remove the pump and rigid PVC pipe section from the sump pit. (c) Clear any debris from the strainer, and then reconnect the pump to the discharge pipe. (d) Connect the control unit, and the battery cables to the battery…the WHITE wire to the NEGATIVE (-) post, and then the BLACK wire to the POSITIVE (+) post.
TESTING THE FLOAT SWITCH INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING THE REMOTE ALARM It is important to manually test the float switch periodically or after any maintenance. The terminal is located on the back of the control unit. There are three (3) positions for wire connections on the terminal: N.C. normally closed, N.O. – normally open, and common. ! DANGER Unplug the main AC pump when installing or servicing the backup pump to avoid electric shock. Failure to do so could cause serious injury or death.
