DESCRIPTION

TheDCemergencypumpsystemrequiresagoodquality,12voltbatterytoobtainmaximumpumpingtimeduringapoweroutage.Adeep-cycle,12volt,90amp-hourorlargermarinebatteryisrecommended.A100+amphour battery will provide approximately 5.5 hours or more of continuous pumping time in a sump pump installation with 8' (2.4 m) of head pressure. In most installations, the pump runs intermittently and the battery life is extended accordingly. Batteries with top terminals are recommended for ease of installation. "Wet" cell batteries contain acid, and proper precaution must be taken when handling.

INITIAL START-UP AND OPERATION

Ifoneorbothfloatswitchesarenotconnected,there will be various alarms depending on what is connected. If this occurs, simply plug in both switches and then reset the alarms by holdingtheSilencebuttonfor3seconds.Notethatthechargermaynot begin charging for several minutes.

3. Disconnect the primary pump from its power source before touching any component in the sump pit.

4. Lift the Fit’s operationalfloatswitch.After1second“splashactivationprevention” delay, the DC backup pump will run, and the alarm will sound after 1 more second. Lower the operational float switch after the alarm sounds. TakecarethattheintakeoftheDCpumpisset above the intake of the primary pump.

CAUTION Continuous dry running may cause overheating and damage the pump seals. Upon release of the float switch, the pump will shut off. Be certain there are no obstructions around the float or stem that will prevent the switch from turning off.

5. Check installation of the high water switch taking care that it is installed so that its “on” point is higher than the “on” point of the operational switch.Lift thehighwaterfloat.After1second“splashactivationprevention” delay the pump will turn on, the alarm will sound, and thelightwillalertofhighwater.Iftheoperationalfloatisdown,andtheDCpumpisunderwater,thepumpwillrununtilthefloatlowersand the pump is no longer pumping water, or the run timer expires.

It is important to understand that the Fit controller is an advanced technology product that has capabilities beyond those seen in other battery backup products. For those unfamiliar with the product, behaviors in the Fit may initially seem unusual.

with 30 amp automotive blade fuse. (e) Remove pump. Check for obstruction in pump preventing impeller

from rotating. (f) Float switchwasnot “on” formore than 1 second.Aquick up/

down of a switch will not turn the pump on because the controller is designed with “splash activation protection”.

Zoeller Pump Company provides the previous statements only as guidelines to help prevent false activation of the CO detector. In no way are these statements intended to supersede the instructions that accompany the detector, nor do they supersede advice from the CO detector manufacturer.

If the audible alarm associated with your CO detector is activated, we recommend the following actions:

1) TakeimmediateactionforpersonalsafetyasrecommendedintheCOdetectorliterature.

2) Contact the appropriate agency to determine if the CO is being produced by your furnace, water heater, or any other device which uses natural gas.

3) If you are certain that no CO is being produced, a charging battery may be producing gaseous by-products capable of causing the CO detector to activate. Contact the manufacturer and ask for recommendations to prevent the alarm activation.
