PRECAUTIONS & SEQUENCING DURING INITIAL HOOKUP
a) Secure Pump Sentry™ in its designated spot. It is recommended that
the unit be placed on a shelf or mounted to a wall.
b) Make sure the ON/OFF switch is in the OFF position and that the Pump
Sentry™ power cord is not plugged into an AC outlet.
c) Connect the blade end of the red battery cable supplied with the unit
into the red terminal block located adjacent to the fan air intake port.
Tighten the set screw of the block till the cable is well secured.
d) Perform the sequence in see with the black cable into the black terminal
block located adjacent to the red one.
e) Slide the battery into its protective box and place into its designated
spot sufficiently close to the Pump Sentry™ to allow the battery cables
to reach. DO NOT USE LONGER CABLES THAN THOSE
SUPPLIED WITH PUMP SENTRY™ as this may adversely affect the
time available for backup operation.
f) Connect the ring terminal end of the BLACK battery cable to the
battery NEGATIVE terminal.
g) Connect the ring terminal end of the RED battery battery cable to the
battery POSITIVE terminal. WARNING: WHEN DOING THIS STEP
THERE WILL BE A PERCEPTIVE SPARK AT THE TERMINAL
AS SOME COMPONENTS IN THE PUMP SENTRY™ CHARGE
UP. THIS IS NORMAL.
h) Once (g) is completed cover your battery box and secure the lid.
i) Plug the sump pump into the Pump Sentry™.
j) Plug the Pump Sentry™ into a wall outlet which has a minimum
capacity of 20A.
k) Turn ON the ON/OFF switch located to the left of the fan air intake
port.
l) Installation is complete.
INSTALLATION TEST
To make sure the installation is good, it should be tested per the following:
a) Raise the water level float switch controlling the pump causing the
pump to go ON.
b) Disconnect the Pump Sentry’s plug, mentioned in (j), from the wall
outlet. After a slight pause your sump pump should continue to operate.
If it does not, review steps (a) though (l) above.
