Install float switch at least 10”-12”
above bottom of sump pit so that
backup unit turns on only when the
water level is higher than the normal
“on” level for main pump. Use the hose
clamps provided to secure the switch to
the discharge pipe. Make sure power
wires and hose clamp ends do not
interfere with float switch, pump inlet,
or main pump operation. Backup pump
must not be allowed to run dry.

NOTE: Protect electrical cord from sharp
objects, hot surfaces, oil and chemicals.
Avoid kinking the cord and replace
damaged components immediately.
1. Select a suitable position on the floor
near the sump pit to place the battery
case. Be certain that the PS/BC power
cord will reach AC power, and that
the sump pump power cord will reach
the PS/BC. Make sure the battery case
vent holes are unobstructed.
relocate or per-form any maintenance. If
the power source is out of sight, lock and
tag in the open (off) position to prevent
unexpected power application. Failure to
do so could result in fatal electrical
shock. Only qualified electricians should
repair this unit. Improper repair could
result in fatal electrical shock.
Follow battery manufacturer’s
maintenance procedures and
schedules. Be certain that the area
around the batteries is well ventilated.
Before servicing the batteries, blow
away gasses by waving a piece of
cardboard near the batteries.
Operation
Once a month,
check the condition
of the battery. In order to review the
battery condition, follow the steps that
are listed below:
ELEVATE PS/BC BY MOUNTING ON
WALL OR SETTING ON A SHELF. SLOTS
IN THE BACK SIDE OF PS/BC ARE
AVAILABLE FOR WALL MOUNTING.
Always disconnect the power
source before attempting to
install, service, relocate or
maintain the pump. Never touch sump
pump, pump motor, water or discharge
piping when pump is connected to
electrical power. Never handle a pump
or pump motor with wet hands or when
standing on wet or damp surface or in
water. Fatal electrical shock could occur.
1. Unplug the PS/BC.

between the 45º elbow and the “Y”.
PS/BC Installation
2. For batteries with top caps that can
be removed, the electrolyte level
should be checked and filled to
manufacturer’s specifications. The
charge for each cell should be
checked with a hydrometer. A
specific gravity of 1.265 indicates
the battery is at full charge. If the
specific gravity of any of the cells
varies more than .050, the battery
should be replaced.
Use Power Supply/

(PS/BC) indoors, in a well-ventilated
area. Do not expose PS/BC to rain or
snow. Do not use an extension cord. Do
not disassemble PS/BC. Be sure PS/BC
ventilation holes are unobstructed. If
PS/BC is dropped or damaged, do not
operate; return to manufacturer for
service.

NOTE: Check valves can be placed
directly in the pump discharge if
desired. However, for ease of
disassembly, it is recommended that
check valves be placed above the sump

The remainder of the discharge pipe
installation will vary depending on
individual circumstances. Using sound
plumbing practices, route the
discharge pipe to an exterior wall by
the shortest distance.
