The Sump Alarm High Water Alarm and Monitor is designed for outdoor use, sun, rain, temperature resistance, and contains only
Long Life LED Pilot lights. Your Sump Alarm carries a 3 year LIMITED warranty from the date of purchase, defined below.
Sump Alarm activates when the water level in the basin or sump rises above the
desired level. The alarm system includes a red LED beacon with integrated audible
alarm buzzer.
The high level alarm system will automatically reset when the high level condition is
corrected. The enclosure is weatherproof to allow outdoor installation and has a
flammability rating which meets UL 94-5V. Figure 1 (at right) shows the front of the
Sump Alarms to which this documentation applies.
Read and follow all instructions and safety guidelines thoroughly before installing or
operating the system. Failure to follow the instructions could result in serious bodily
injury or death and/or property/pump damage.

LOCATING & MOUNTING THE SUMP ALARM HEAD UNIT
The Sump Alarm should be mounted in a convenient location. Cable lengths need to be considered, and extra float switch cable can
be stowed above or below the water line. The head unit location should allow “line-of-sight” visibility of the indicating light from the
desired vantage point. The sound is directional, and like the light, should be pointed to a designated location.
The Sump Alarm should be securely mounted to a wall or secure vertical structure which is free of vibration. The 1L Sump Alarm has
two mounting holes, and the 2L will have 4. The mounting holes can be accessed by removing the face plate. Mounting screws have
been included for your convenience. Should screws of a different length be required, utilize a #8 Pan Head screw. A NOTE ON
POWERDRILLS: Put your drill at the lowest torque setting to avoid stripping the plastic receivers. A torque setting of 4 is
recommended.
Note that the weather proof mounting holes can be accessed by opening the head unit and are directly adjacent to the posts for
mounting the face of the head unit.
