SAFETY INFORMATION

FP979 (06-08-20)

GENERAL INFORMATION

The battery backup sump system is not a substitute for your

primary sump pump. It is designed to temporarily backup your

primary sump pump during a power outage or other problem

which prevents normal operation of the primary pump. Do not

use this system to pump flammable liquids or chemicals. Pump

clear water only with this pump.

Keep the battery charger dry and protected from damage.

This system is designed to work with a deep cycle sealed

maintenance free lead-acid AGM battery. It will also work with

a flooded lead acid battery. Gel and Sealed flooded lead acid

batteries are not recommended.

In an emergency (such as an extended power outage) which

depletes the system deep cycle battery, your automobile

battery may be temporarily substituted. Be sure to replace the

system deep cycle battery as soon as possible.

Use of an automobile battery instead of a deep cycle battery

in this system will significantly reduce the system’s total

performance. Automobile batteries are not designed for this

type of application and will be quickly ruined by the repeated

charge/discharge cycling.

NOTE: This system is not designed for applications involving salt

water, brine, or where fish may be present! Use with these will

void warranty.

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION (TYPICAL): SEPARATE DISCHARGE

Unplug the primary sump pump before beginning this

procedure. Risk of electrical shock. Can shock,

burn, or kill.

1. Allow for overlap when cutting piping and run a trial (dry)

fitting before you glue.

2. Use PTFE pipe thread sealant tape on male ends of

discharge pipe. Thread the 1-1/4” x 1-1/2” elbow (supplied)

onto the discharge. When tight, the elbow must point up.

3. If possible, install the Battery Backup Unit (BBU) on

the floor of the sump. Be sure that the two pumps do

not touch each other and do not interfere with switch

operation.

NOTE: If debris or gravel is present in the bottom of the

sump pit that could get sucked up into the pump, set

both the primary sump pump and the BBU up on bricks or

cinder blocks to prevent clogging.

4. If the sump is too small to allow both pumps to sit on

the bottom of the sump, install an angle bracket on the

primary sump pump’s discharge pipe with stainless steel

hose clamps.

Mount the backup pump on the angle bracket (Figure 2).

5. Cut a piece of 1-1/2” PVC pipe to reach from the backup

pump discharge elbow to about one (1) foot above the

basement floor. This is the lower discharge pipe.

6. To prevent airlocking the pump during operation, drill a

1/8” hole in the lower discharge pipe about 2” above the

bottom of the pipe (below floor level).

7. Install FP0026-10 check valve (sold separately) on the

upper end of the pipe.

Tighten the hose clamps securely. BE SURE that the flow

arrows point UP (away from the BBU). If they point down,

the valve will not pass water and the pump will not work.

8. Cut a short length of 1-1/2” PVC pipe for a riser pipe and

clamp it into the top of the check valve.

9. Install a hose and clamp assembly (sold separately) on the

top of the riser pipe. For 1-1/2” pipe, remove and discard

the short piece of 1-1/4” hose in the Hose and Clamp

Assembly. Leave the hose clamps loose and slide the

Assembly down below the top of the riser pipe.

10. Determine where you want the discharge to exit the

basement. At that point, drill the necessary holes (large

enough to have clearance for a 1-1/2” pipe) to allow you

to run the discharge pipe from above the sump to the

outdoors.

11. Install the horizontal discharge pipe. Install a 90° elbow on

the inside end but do not glue.

12. Cut another short piece of 1-1/2” PVC for the Upper

Discharge Pipe to run from the top of the riser pipe up to

the 90° elbow. Be sure to allow enough overlap for the glue

joint in the elbow.

13. Do a trial fit with NO GLUE, installing the 1-1/2” upper

discharge pipe in the 90° elbow and the upper discharge

pipe in the vertical end of the 90° elbow.

The upper discharge pipe should just fit between the riser

pipe and the elbow.

14. Whenever using PVC primer and PVC cement, follow the

glue manufacturer’s instructions. Risk of

fire and chemical inhalation.

15. Make sure that the BBU clears the primary sump pump

and its switch. If there isn’t room for both pumps to sit

on the floor of the sump, the BBU will have to be raised

(depending on your particular situation).

16. Clean, prime and glue the upper discharge pipe into the

90º elbow. When the glue has set, slide the Hose and

Clamp Assembly up to cover the joint and tighten all the

hose clamps.

17. Install the Battery Backup Switch as shown, 1” above start

water level of primary pump. Fasten it to the pipe with

cable ties.

18. Tape the pump cord to the riser pipe so that the plug

cannot fall into the sump.

19. Go to BBU WIRING AND SETUP section of this manual for

wiring instructions.

20. Once all wiring is complete, fill your pit with water and

verify that the primary sump pump removes the water and

the BBU doesn’t run.

21. Then, unplug your primary sump pump and refill your pit

with water. Verify that the BBU pump removes the water.

22. Make sure that the power is on to both pumps, and your

system is ready to use.

INSTALLATION

INSTALLATION (TYPICAL): COMMON DISCHARGE

Unplug the primary sump pump before beginning this

procedure. Risk of electrical shock. Can shock,

burn, or kill.

1. Allow for over lap when cutting piping and run a trial (dry)

fitting before you glue.

2. If there is no check valve in the primary sump pump’s

discharge, you will need to install one. You must also

install one in the BBU’s discharge pipe (Figure 3). Make

sure that the check valve flow arrow points AWAY from the

pump it is protecting.

3. Use PTFE pipe thread sealant tape on male ends of

discharge pipe. Thread the 1-1/4” x 1-1/2” elbow (supplied)

onto the discharge. When tight, the elbow must point up.

4. If possible, position the BBU on the floor of the sump; be

sure that the two pumps do not touch each other and do

not interfere with switch operation.

NOTE: If debris or gravel is present in the bottom of the

sump pit that could get sucked up into the pump, set

both the primary sump pump and the BBU up on bricks or

cinder blocks to prevent clogging.

5. If the sump is too small to allow both pumps to sit on the

bottom of the sump, find a raised position that doesn’t

interfere with the Primary sump pump switch.

6. Cut a piece of 1-1/2” PVC pipe to reach from the backup

pump discharge elbow to about one (1) foot above the

basement floor. This is the lower discharge pipe.

7. To prevent airlocking the pump during operation, drill a

1/8” hole in the lower discharge pipe about 2” above the

bottom of the pipe (below floor level).

8. Install FP0026-10 check valve (purchase separately)

on the upper end of the pipe. Tighten the hose clamps

securely. BE SURE that the flow arrows point UP (away

from the backup pump). If they point down, the valve will

not pass water and the pump will not work.

9. Cut the discharge pipe for the primary sump pump

(Primary sump pump) above the union and check valve (if

any). Make this cut about 18” above the top of the BBU’s

riser pipe with the backup pump sitting as installed.

10. If the primary sump pump does not have a check valve

installed in the discharge pipe, install one now.

11. Cut a length of discharge pipe for the Primary sump pump

to fit between the check valve and a 45° slip wye. Be sure

to allow for the overlap needed for gluing joints.

12. Install the 45° wye on the Primary sump pump’s discharge

pipe.

13. Install a 45° elbow on the 1-1/2” BATTERY BACKUP

discharge pipe.

14. Fit the upper discharge pipe to the upper end of the wye.

NOTICE: It is good practice to cut a short length of pipe to

go into the wye and install a union on the pipe. Continue

the discharge pipe from the outlet side of the union.

This will allow easier removal of the system for cleaning

or service. A U74-68 Hose and Clamp Assembly (sold

separately) can be used for this.

15. Make sure that the BBU will clear the primary sump pump

and its switch. If there isn’t room for both pumps to sit

on the floor of the sump, the BBU will have to be raised

(depending on your particular situation).

16. Do a trial assembly to make sure that everything is

going to fit. This may require a helper to assist in holding

everything together while you check the fit without glue.

Mark all joints before gluing.

Follow the glue manufacturer’s instructions regarding fire

hazards and ventilation when using PVC solvents, primer,

and cement. Risk of fire and chemical

inhalation.

17. Take all the pipe apart, clean all joints, and then

reassemble the system, gluing it with PVC primer and

glue.

18. Install the Battery Backup Switch as shown, 1” above start

water level of primary pump. Fasten it to the pipe with the

cable ties provided.

19. Tape the pump cord to the riser pipe so that the plug

cannot fall into the sump.

20. Go to BBU WIRING AND SETUP section of this manual for

wiring instructions.

21. Once all wiring is complete, fill your pit with water and

verify that the Primary sump pump removes the water and

the BBU doesn’t run.

22. Then, unplug your Primary sump pump and refill your pit

with water. Verify that the BBU pump removes the water.

23. Make sure that the power is on to both pumps, and your

system is ready to use.

In this installation, if the Primary Sump Pump (PSP) does not have a check valve installed below the wye, you MUST

install a check valve for the PSP as shown. This prevents backflow of water into the sump from the battery backup

system.

Check Valve Flapper(s) must swing away and flow arrow(s) must point away from the pump being protected.

The water level when the switch shuts off must be above the BBU pump intake.

FP979 (06-08-20)

INSTALLATION

BATTERY REQUIREMENTS

Install the battery in the battery case. To prevent accidental

shorting across battery terminals, close and latch the battery

case securely. Do not leave the battery uncovered.

Hazardous electric current. Can cause severe

burns and start a fire if the battery terminals are short

circuited.

Do not allow children to play around the battery backup

system installation.

The performance of your backup sump pump depends on

the battery used with it for power. We recommend using

our BAT40. You can also use a group 24M or 27M Deep Cycle

battery. They will provide acceptable performance and will

stand up well to long periods of little or no use.

This system is designed to work with either a sealed lead-acid

AGM battery or a flooded lead-acid battery. Use of a true Gell

Cell (often confused for AGM) or a standard automotive battery

with this charger is not recommended. An automotive battery

may require charging after only 1-2 hours of continuous use,

and the repeated charging cycles may cause early plate failure

in the battery.



Use only lead-acid batteries. This unit is not designed to

use with Li-Ion, NiMh, NiCAD, Liquid Polymer, etc.



Use only the recommended battery or one of the same

type and size so it will fit in the battery box (maximum size:

13” long x 7” wide x 10” tall (330.2mm x 177.8mm x 254mm)

including terminals) and supply enough voltage for full

performance.

BATTERY MAINTENANCE



To protect the battery case from chipping and gouging, do

not let the battery sit on a concrete floor.



Install the battery on a shelf or protective pad (plywood,

2x4s, etc.).



Always install the battery in a dry location that is

protected from flooding.

Severe burn hazard. An acid-filled standard

lead-acid battery contains sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with

skin, eyes or clothing.

PRE-QUALIFICATION TEST – 1 AND 2

Charger is charging at a very low level to try to bring a dead

battery back to life.

If the battery is taking too long, try resetting the charger once

or twice (push the System Test and Silence Alarm buttons

together to reset the charger).

SPECIAL FEATURES

The charger is equipped with reverse battery, short circuit,

and “runaway charge” protection.

POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND REMEDIES

1. Wrong Battery Voltage: Reconnect charger to a 12 volt

battery.

2. Reversed Battery Connections: Check all connections.

The negative (black) on the battery must connect to the

negative (black) on the charger, and the positive (red)

on the battery must connect to the positive (red) on the

charger. Reversing the battery connections will cause the

System Alert and Silenced Audible Alarm LEDs to flash.

3. Thermal Runaway Condition: “Thermal Runaway” is the

technical term for the condition of the battery when some

(or all) of the cells have deteriorated to the point that they

won’t take a charge. In this case, replace the battery.

4. Charge Time Monitor – 1 and 2: Battery took too long to

complete its charge. The Charge Time Monitor will shut

down the charger after 84 hours of continuous charging.

Possible causes are:



Pump ran for a long period of time during charging, or



Battery is too large for the charger (including several

batteries connected in a parallel circuit).

EXCESSIVE BATTERY DRAIN

Pump may have run for a very long time, discharging the

battery.

1. If 115VAC power is OFF, the charger shuts down until the

power comes back on, but the pump will run as long as the

battery charge lasts. You may need to replace the battery

afterwards.

2. If 115VAC power is ON, the charger/controller continues to

try to charge the battery at a charging rate of .5 AH until

the battery charge is more than 20%, at which point the

charger will resume charging at a rate of 2 AH.

3. If the pump is running and the AC power is on, you may

need to stop the pump to allow the battery to charge.

Follow the battery manufacturer’s recommendations for

maintenance and safe use of the battery.

FP979 (06-08-20)

BBU WIRING AND SETUP

1. Connect the positive (+) charger/controller lead wire (red)

to the positive (+) battery terminal (red).

2. Connect the negative (–) charger/controller lead wire

(black) to the negative (–) terminal (black) on the battery.

3. If you are using two batteries, use the set of optional

terminals and connect the second battery. Use lead

wires (not included) to connect the positive (+) charger/

controller terminal to the positive (+) battery terminal and

the negative (–) charger/controller terminal to the negative

(–) battery terminal.

4. The backup pump leads are polarity sensitive. Connect

the positive pump lead to the terminal labeled Pump ‘+’ and

the negative pump lead to the terminal labeled Pump ‘–’.

NOTE: If the leads are reversed, the pump will run

backward and not pump water.

5. The float switch leads are not polarity sensitive. Connect

the float switch leads to the Float Switch tabs on the

charger/controller.

6. Test the float and the pump by lifting and holding the float.



The system alert LED will blink while the float is up.



The Pump Status LED will light continuously and the

buzzer will beep steadily.



The pump should start after 3 seconds.



If the pump does not run, check all the connections

and remake them as necessary.

7. To stop the pump, lower the float. After 25 seconds the

pump should stop, the Pump Status LED should flash, and

the buzzer should beep.

8. With the pump operating, test the ‘SILENCE ALARM’

button:



Hold for one second; release.



The Alarm Silenced LED should illuminate and the

buzzer should stop sounding.



Limited Warranty

This Limited Warranty is effective July 11, 2019 and replaces all undated warranties and warranties dated before July 11, 2019.

Pentair Flotec* warrants to the original consumer purchaser (“Purchaser” or “You”) that its products are free from defects in material and

workmanship for a period of twelve (12) months from the date of the original consumer purchase. If, within twelve (12) months from the original

consumer purchase, any such product shall prove to be defective, it shall be repaired or replaced at Pentair Flotec’s option, subject to the terms

and conditions set forth herein. Note that this limited warranty applies to manufacturing defects only and not to ordinary wear and tear. All

mechanical devices need periodic parts and service to perform well. This limited warranty does not cover repair when normal use has exhausted

the life of a part or the equipment.

The original purchase receipt and product warranty information label are required to determine warranty eligibility. Eligibility is based on purchase

date of original product – not the date of replacement under warranty. The warranty is limited to repair or replacement of original purchased

product only, not replacement product (i.e. one warranty replacement allowed per purchase). Purchaser pays all removal, installation, labor,

shipping, and incidental charges.

Claims made under this warranty shall be made by returning the product (except sewage pumps, see below) to the retail outlet where it was

purchased immediately after the discovery of any alleged defect. Pentair Flotec will subsequently take corrective action as promptly as reasonably

possible. No requests for service will be accepted if received more than 30 days after the warranty expires.
