Product Manual

18. Connect the backup pump to the back of the
backup control unit
19. Insert the fluid sensor into the top of the
battery, or into the battery cap, depending
on which battery you own.
20. Connect the battery wires to the battery
terminals, BLACK to the NEGATIVE (-) post,
and RED to the POSITIVE (+) post. Replace
the cover on the battery box.
21. Plug the charger from the backup control
unit into the outlet. (You should provide
added protection for the backup controller by
using a surge protector.)
22. Plug the primary pump into the blue
piggyback controller and then plug the
controller into the wall outlet.
23. If any of the alarms are sounding, press the
RED button for 1 second.
24. Fill the sump with water to make sure the
primary pump is working. When the pumping
cycle is finished, lift the float switch on the
backup pump to make sure it activates the
backup pump.
5 The unit is not receiving AC power
There are several causes for power failure. The
most common is a power outage by your electric
company. During this emergency, the Pro Series
system will automatically switch to battery
power and protect your basement from flooding.
You can silence the “AC power failure” alarm for
24 hours by pressing the RED button on the front
of the control panel for five (5) seconds. The
alarm will be silenced, but the light will stay on.
The system will continue to operate while the
power alarm is silenced. After 24 hours, the
alarm will reset automatically.
1. If the power is on
in the rest of the
house, check the
home circuit
breaker or fuse
box for failure,
and correct the
problem. Check
the outlet to
make sure it is
working.
2. Check the charger. Make sure it is securely
plugged into the wall outlet.
3. Check the charger plug that fits into the rear
panel of the control unit. Make sure it is
securely plugged into the control unit.
The control unit must receive 115 volts AC +/-
5% from the AC outlet. Any voltage lower than
110 volts will activate the power failure alarm.
Lower voltages can be caused by utility company
brown outs or a heavy power draw from other
appliances on the same circuit. Reduce the
number of appliances on the circuit.
If all the connections are secure and the wall
outlet is operating, but the “AC power failure”
warning light is still on, replace the charger unit
with the Pro Series part number 1015001 from
Glentronics at 800-991-0466.
6 Charging
The Pro Series 1850 backup pump is equipped with
a computer-controlled automatic charging system.
The computer is constantly monitoring the battery
and will supply a pre-programmed amount of
energy to keep your battery at full charge. The
“Charging” light will be on or flashing while the
battery is charging, and off when it is not
charging. If the battery is discharged from
extended use, the charger light will remain on
until the battery is completely recharged.
7 System Operating
This light will always be on when there is power
coming from either the battery or the outlet.
TEST-RESET-SILENCE BUTTON
To test the pump, press the RED button on the
front of the control panel for one (1) second.
The pump will run for 2 seconds and then shut
off automatically.
To silence an alarm, press the RED button for one
(1) second. Some alarms cannot be silenced,
since action needs to be taken to prevent a flood.
To silence the alarms for 24 hours, press the RED
button for five (5) seconds until you hear a buzz.
The alarms will automatically reactivate in 24
hours.
TESTING THE FLOAT SWITCH FOR THE
BACKUP PUMP
It is important to manually test the float
switches periodically or after any maintenance.
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. Review the safety
instructions on page 1.
Lift the float up and
let go. This will
activate the pump.
The control unit will
run the pump for
approximately 25
seconds so it can
empty all the water
in the sump pit. If
there is no water in
the pit, the pump can run dry for this amount of
time. The alarm will sound and the “Pump was
activated” light will go on. After the pump has
stopped, push the RED button to silence the
alarm. If the RED button is pressed before the
pump has stopped, the alarm will go off
temporarily. Wait for the pump to stop pumping,
and then push the RED button on the front of
the control unit to completely silence the alarm.
