• Boîtier de commande: Features battery burn-out and overcharge protection, a 10 amp solid-state automatic recharger, audible alarms, light indicators, and warning systems.
• Écran LCD : Fournit un affichage en temps réel du volume de la batterietage and other critical system information.
• Auxiliary Alarm Contact: A set of dry contacts allowing connection to home security systems or auto dialers for remote alerts.
• Vol faibletage Vertical Float Switch: A reliable float switch designed for automatic activation of the backup pump.
• Raccords: Includes an integrated DC pump discharge check valve, an additional AC pump check valve, a tee, and an adapter for plumbing connections.
• Compartiment des piles: A non-corrodible polyethylene case designed to accommodate maximum battery dimensions of 13" L x 7.5" W x 9.5" H, fitting all group size 27, 29, and 31 batteries. (Note: 12-volt battery NOT included).

Configuration et installation

Follow these steps for proper installation of your Aquanot 508-0005 system:

1. Préparation de la batterie : Acquire a suitable 12-volt deep cycle battery (Group 27, 29, or 31). Place the battery securely inside the provided non-corrodible battery case.
2. Emplacement de la pompe : Carefully position the 12-volt DC pump within the sump pit. It should be installed at a level that allows it to activate only after your primary AC sump pump has failed or the water level has risen above the primary pump's activation point.
3. Tuyauterie de décharge : Connect the DC pump to your existing discharge piping using the integrated check valve, tee, and adapter. An additional AC pump check valve is supplied for installation on the primary pump's discharge line if not already present. The system features a quick disconnect discharge for simplified assembly and future maintenance.
4. Installation de l'interrupteur à flotteur : Securely attach the low voltage vertical float switch to the discharge pipe or another appropriate mounting point inside the sump pit. Ensure the float can move freely without obstruction and is set to activate the backup pump at the desired water level.
5. Control Box Mounting: Mount the control box in a dry, easily accessible location near the sump pit. Avoid areas prone to moisture or extreme temperatures.
6. Connexions électriques : Connect the DC pump, float switch, and battery to the control box terminals as indicated in the detailed wiring diagram found in the complete product manual. Plug the control box into a standard 120V AC electrical outlet for continuous battery charging.
7. Auxiliary Alarm (Optional): If remote monitoring is desired, connect the auxiliary alarm dry contacts to your home security system or an auto dialer. Refer to your security system's manual for specific connection instructions.

Opération

The Aquanot 508-0005 system is designed for automatic, hands-free operation:

• Veille normale : Under normal conditions, with AC power available and the primary sump pump functioning, the Aquanot system remains in standby mode. The control box continuously charges and monitors the 12-volt battery. The LCD screen will display the current battery voltage.
• Activation automatique: In the event of a primary sump pump failure or a power outage, if the water level in the sump pit rises to activate the low voltage vertical float switch, the Aquanot DC pump will automatically engage and begin pumping water out of the pit.
• Alarms and Indicators: The control box features audible alarms and visual light indicators to alert you to various system statuses, such as AC power failure, low battery voltage, or pump activation. The auxiliary alarm contacts can provide remote notification to a connected security system.
• Protection de la batterie : The integrated control box includes advanced battery burn-out and overcharge protection features to maximize battery lifespan and ensure readiness.

Entretien

Regular maintenance ensures the reliability of your backup system:

• Tests mensuels : It is crucial to test the system monthly. This can be done by manually raising the float switch or by temporarily unplugging the control box from AC power to simulate an outage. Observe the pump's activation and operation.
• Inspection de la batterie : Periodically inspect the battery terminals for corrosion. Clean any corrosion using a wire brush and a baking soda solution. For wet cell batteries, check the fluid levels and top off with distilled water as needed. Replace the 12-volt deep cycle battery every 3-5 years, or according to the battery manufacturer's recommendations, to ensure optimal performance.
• Vérification du commutateur à flotteur : Ensure the float switch moves freely within the sump pit and is not obstructed by debris, wires, or other components.
• Inspection de la pompe : Occasionally inspect the DC pump for any debris (e.g., dirt, gravel) that might impede its impeller or function. Clean as necessary.
• Boîtier de commande: Keep the control box clean and dry. Ensure ventilation openings are not blocked.

Dépannage

This section provides general guidance for common issues. For detailed troubleshooting steps, always refer to the complete product manual.

• La pompe ne s'active pas :
  • Check if the control box is receiving AC power.
  • Verify the 12-volt battery is properly connected and charged.
  • Ensure the float switch is not obstructed and is wired correctly. Manually lift the float to test activation.
• Sons d'alarme :
  • Identify the specific alarm indicator on the LCD screen or control box. Common alarms include AC power failure, low battery, or pump run time exceeding limits.
  • Address the underlying cause (e.g., restore AC power, charge or replace the battery, check for pump obstructions).
• Short Pump Run Times:
  • May indicate a partially discharged or failing battery. Test the battery's charge and condition.
  • Check for obstructions or restrictions in the pump's discharge line.
