Pump Sentry Models 822 PS & 1622 PS INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS The Pump Sentry is an innovative power station designed to operate your pump during a power outage. When properly installed, it will provide many years of reliable service. To ensure that the Pump Sentry is optimally used and properly connected, we recommend its installation be made by a licensed electrician or fully qualified professional. Read these instructions completely and follow directions carefully.
While the Pump Sentry is a sophisticated electronic device, it should not be expected to perform beyond its limitations, and extreme care should be taken to insure safe operation within specifications. IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS READ AND SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS – THIS MANUAL CONTAINS IMPORTANT INSTRUCTIONS FAILURE TO FOLLOW SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS AND WARNINGS COULD RESULT IN INJURY OR DEATH • Read all the instructions before installing or operating the Pump Sentry.
• Do Not insert or allow foreign objects to enter any ventilation or exhaust opening as this may cause electrical shock and/or fire hazard. WARNING: RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK In the event of a short circuit, grounding reduces the risk of electrical shock by providing a safe path to ground. The Pump Sentry must be properly grounded. The Pump Sentry is equipped with a cord having a ground wire with an appropriate three pronged plug.

Unplug the input power cord of the pump from the AC outlet on the Pump Sentry 4. Disconnect the batter cables from the batter.
Charger Function The smart charging system in Pump Sentry 822PS/1622PS is microprocessor controlled to yield optimum charging rates and long battery life. When the electrical source is restored allowing the resumption of the charging process, there is a 2 second delay during which the charge state of the battery is assessed. After this delay, at least one of the 4 LED indicators comprising the battery monitor will illuminate.

How to Discern When Pump Sentry is Operational in the Backup Mode When all four LED’s of the battery monitor are OFF, and the pump sentry is plugged into an AC outlet, the unit is in the back up mode. In this mode when there is sufficient energy in the battery to operate the system, the uninterruptible power LED is illuminated. Once the battery is depleted the uninterruptible power light will extinguish, indicating an absence of AC power at the Pump Sentry’s output.
