Charging
The Basement Watchdog backup system is
equipped with a computer-controlled automatic
charging system. The computer is constantly
monitoring the battery and will supply a pre-
programmed amount of energy to keep your
battery at full charge. The "Charging" light will
be on or flashing while the battery is charging,
and off when it is not charging. If the battery
is discharged from extended use, the charger
light will remain on until the battery is
completely recharged.

System Operating
This light will always be on when there is power
coming from either the battery or the outlet.
TEST-RESET-SILENCE BUTTON
To test the pump, press the YELLOW button for 1
second. The pump will run for 2 seconds and
then shut off automatically.
To silence an alarm, press the YELLOW button for
1 second. Some alarms cannot be silenced since
action needs to be taken to prevent a flood.
To reset the BATTERY or PUMP alarm, press the
button for 1 second. To silence them for 24
hours, press the YELLOW button for 5 seconds
until you hear a buzz. The alarms will
automatically re-activate in 24 hours
TESTING THE BACKUP FLOAT SWITCH
It is important to manually test the float
switch periodically or after any maintenance.
Lift the float up and let
go. This will activate the
pump. The control unit
will run the pump for
approximately 25 seconds LIFT
so it can empty all the FLOAT
water in the sump pit. If
there is no water in the
pit, the pump can run dry
for this amount of time.
The alarm will sound and the PUMP light will go
on. After the pump has stopped, push the YELLOW
button to silence the alarm. If the YELLOW
button is pressed before the pump has stopped,
the alarm will go off temporarily. Wait for the
pump to stop pumping, and then push the
YELLOW button to completely silence the alarm.
While the pumps are active, water will come out
of the 1/8" hole located on the top of the main
pump and the 3/16" hole located in the elbow of
the backup pump. This is normal. The holes are
needed to prevent an air lock within the system.
DO NOT obstruct the holes or an air lock may
prevent the system from activating.
TESTING THE PRIMARY PUMP
FLOAT SWITCH
Lift the float within
the cage with a
pencil or other non-
LIFT
metallic item and
FLOAT
let it drop. The
pump will run for
an additional 10
seconds after the
float returns to the
original position. It will not damage the pump
to run it for this short time if the sump pit is dry.
However, DO NOT hold the float up for an
extended time without water in the sump.

Using the Remote
Notification
THE REMOTE TERMINAL
The CITS-50 can be connected to a home
security system or other alarm devices to alert
you to a problem or required maintenance.
INSTRUCTIONS FOR CONNECTING THE
REMOTE ALARM
The terminal is located on the front of the
control unit. There are three (3) positions for
wire connections on the terminal: N.O. –
normally open, N.C. - normally closed, and
common.
Check your security system to determine whether
an open (no contact) or closed (making contact)
connection is needed to activate the alarm.
The security system will provide two connection
terminals. You will need to extend wires from
the security system to the Basement Watchdog
control unit. Strip the two wires, ¼" each.
Connect either wire to the common terminal. To
secure the wire into the terminal, insert the
exposed wire into the hole on the back of the
terminal next to the screw marked common.
Turn the screw a few turns to lock-in the wire.
If the security system requires a closing of a
contact to activate the alarm, secure the other
wire in the terminal hole labeled N.O. (normally
open). If the security system requires an
opening of a contact, secure the wire in the
terminal hole labeled N.C. (normally closed).
USB DATA PORT
This system has been
updated with a USB port
on the side of the
controller. The purpose
of this port is to allow
communication with the
Basement Watchdog CONNECT® Modules.
DO NOT connect any other device to the USB
data port other than a Basement Watchdog Wifi
or Home Automation Connect Module.
