Operating Instructions and Parts Manual
Operation
(continued)
4. The control box contains a multi-
colored indicator light. When AC
power is present, the light will
indicate the charging state, and
not refl ect actual battery voltage,
particularly with a defective battery.
In order for the indicator light to
provide an accurate reading, steps
"a" through "d" must be followed.
a. Unplug primary AC pump and
the charger--a power off alert
tone will sound for 30 seconds.
b. Lift and release the fl oat switch
to activate the back-up pump.
c. When the back-up pump stops,
read the test light:
Green: Indicates battery is
charged.
Yellow: Voltage is low,
indicating battery is partially
charged.
Red: Battery is completely
discharged or defective.
d. Plug in charger and main AC
pump.
When AC power is out, and when
pump has been running, the light
will indicate battery status.
Troubleshooting Chart - Back-up Pump
Symptom(s) Possible Cause(s)
Pump will not 1. Connections not secure
run 2. Low battery
3. Float switch obstruction
4. Defective or blown fuse
Motor hums but 1. Defective battery
pump won't run 2. Obstructed impeller
Pump runs but 1. Check valve missing or improperly
pumps very little installed
or no water 2. Obstruction in discharge pipe
3. Pump not rotated 30˚
4. Pump air locked
5. Discharge pipe length and / or
height exceeds capacity of pump
6. Low or defective battery
Pump cycles too 1. Main check valve located between the
frequently discharge of the primary pump and
the back-up sump pump tee fitting or
the back-up sump pump flapper valve
not installed or working properly

5. A chirping sound from the control
box will accompany the red light,
indicating that the battery may
require attention or replacement.
Voltage is only an indicator of battery
condition and may not refl ect the
true condition of the battery. See
Maintenance for instructions on
assessing battery condition.
6. A single 30-second tone will
sound when power to the system
is interrupted. The unit will reset
automatically when power is
restored. A 3-second tone will
sound every time the pump starts.
Maintenance
ALWAYS
disconnect the electrical
supply before attempting to
install, service, relocate or
perform 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 qualifi ed electricians should repair
this unit. Improper repair could result in
fatal electrical shock.
1. Once a month, check battery
condition.
2. Unplug the wall charger.
Corrective Action(s)
1. Check all connections
2. Check battery and replace if low
3. Make sure nothing is interfering with the operation of the switch
4. Check internal fuse located inside the control box. Pull the charger from the wall
outlet and remove. If the fuse is blown, replace it with a 15 amp automotive type fuse
1. Check battery and replace if low or defective
2. Unplug pump and check to see if impeller is free to turn. If impeller is locked,
remove the 4 screws on the bottom of the pump to release the housing around
the impeller. Remove the obstruction. Reassemble pump and reconnect
1. Check to make sure a check valve is installed and functioning between primary
pump discharge and standby sump pump tee fitting
2. Check for obstruction and clear if necessary
3. Check that pump is rotated 30˚ in tee fitting in ESP15 Installation section, Figure 3,
on page 2
4. The impeller housing has a small hole on its side. This hole must be open for the
pump to prime. With the pump unplugged, remove the 4 screws on the bottom
of the pump to release the housing around the impeller. Clean out the hole and
replace cover
5. If discharge is too high, a separate line may be required with a lower discharge
height
6. Check battery and replace if low or defective
1. Install check valve or repair as required
4
3. For batteries with top caps that
can be removed, the electrolyte
level should be checked and fi lled
to manufacturer's specifi cations.
The charge for each cell should be
checked with a hydrometer. A specifi c
gravity of 1.265 indicates the battery
is at full charge. If the specifi c gravity
of any of the cells varies more than
.050, the battery should be replaced.
NOTE: An inexpensive hydrometer
can be purchased at an automotive
parts dealer.
4. Inspect the terminals and clamps
for corrosion and tightness. Clean
and tighten as required.
5. Unplug the main pump and fi ll sump
with water until back-up pump turns
on. Repeat process two times to be
sure pump is operating normally.
6. If pump operates normally, plug
charger into wall outlet, turn on
main pump. If pump fails to operate
normally, see Troubleshooting chart
and correct problem. Repeat step 5.
BATTERIES
Dangerous hydrogen
gas can be released
from batteries while charging. Sparks
can ignite the gas in an enclosed space.
Wear safety goggles when connecting
batteries. Battery connections should be
made in a well-ventilated area.
