General Information
Before use, please read the following instructions carefully. Each
Liberty Pumps alarm system is tested individually in the factory to
ensure proper performance and operation. Closely following these
instructions will eliminate potential operating problems, providing
years of trouble-free service.
This high water level alarm system is designed for applications
such as monitoring sump pump basins, sewage pump basins, and
water powered back-up pumps. The alarm system comes standard
with a 9V battery backup to enable continuous water level
monitoring, even when the power is out. A built-in battery
monitor alerts the user when the 9V battery needs to be replaced.
Replace product immediately if sensor or power cable becomes
damaged or severed.
NightEye® enabled devices come equipped with wireless internet
connectivity. These devices can connect to your wireless network,
by means of an Android® or iOS® device, and send notifications
about your system in real time. This system provides peace of
mind about the status of your pump system even when you are
not home.
All of the alarms come standard with Liberty Pumps 360° red
alarm beacon powered by super-bright LEDs. In combination with
the 86 dB (at 10 ft/3 m) alarm siren, the alarm is sure to alert
occupants of any high-water condition.
Each device is specifically designed for use in an indoor residential
wastewater application. The system comes with liquid level sensor
that conforms to the needs of the intended application. The
sensor types are as follows:
•Snap-on enclosed float for Sump Pump Applications:
ALM-P1, ALM-P1-EYE, SJ10A, SJ10A-EYE
•Tethered float for Sewage Pump Applications:
ALM-2, ALM-2-1, ALM-2-EYE, ALM-2-1-EYE
•Water puck for Puddle Sensing:
ALM-PK, ALM-PK-EYE
To install up to three sensors, use Liberty Pumps alarm connector
splitter (sold separately, kit #K001633). A maximumof 2 pucks can
be used on a single alarm. Acceptable configurations: 3 floats; 2
floats and 1 puck; or 1 float and 2 pucks.

Installation
Do not install this alarm system outdoors. The system is rated
for indoor use only.
Enclosure Installation
1. Select an indoor mounting location for the alarm unit. Liberty
Pumps recommends a location between 48 in (1.2 m) and
66 in (1.7 m) above floor level.
2. Using the supplied template on the rear cover of this manual,
mark screw locations on the mounting surface.
3. If the screw locations are not directly over a wall stud, or the
alarm will be mounted to a masonry wall, the use of the
supplied anchors is recommended. A 3/16” (5 mm) hole must
be drilled before inserting the anchor into the wall.
4. Mount the alarm enclosure to the wall using the supplied
anchors and screws as applicable.
Alarm Float Adapter
If your system already has an
alarm float installed, and you do
not want to replace it with the
float included with your Liberty
Pumps ALM-Series product, you
can use the included terminal block adapter.
1. Turn both screws in the float adapter counterclockwise, until
the conductor receptacles are fully open.
2. Insert the float conductors into the float adapter, one
conductor per receptacle. Polarity does not matter.
3. Tighten the screws in the float adapter until they bottom out.
4. Insert the float adapter into the connector on your Liberty
Pumps ALM-Series alarm.
Sensor Installation
Sewage Pump Sensor
1. Place the float switch cord
into the clamp as shown.
2. Locate the clamp at the
desired activation level and
secure the clamp to the
pump discharge pipe.
Note: Do not install cord
under hose clamp.
3. Tighten the hose clamp using a screwdriver. Over-tightening
may result in damage to the plastic clamp. Make sure the
float cable is not allowed to touch the excess hose clamp
band during operation.
Note: All hose clamp components are made of 18-8 stainless
steel. See your Liberty Pumps distributor for replacements.
4. Route the sensor cable out of the sewage pit and connect it
to the bottom of the alarm enclosure ensuring it does not
interfere with the operation of the primary pump’s float.
Sump Pump Sensor
1. Remove sump pump sensor from
packaging.
2. Apply a small amount of glue to the
inside of the snap feature of the sensor.
Note: Over-gluing the sensor will make
future removal very difficult.
3. Snap sensor over the discharge pipe of
your sump pump as shown.
4. Route the sensor cable out of the sump
pit and connect it to the bottom of the
alarm enclosure as shown in Figure 1.
Water Puck Sensor
1. Remove the puck sensor from its packaging.
2. Place sensor in the location susceptible to water intrusion or
buildup (example: under hot water heater, near laundry sink,
near problematic foundation wall, etc.).
3. Route water puck cable such that it will not pose a tripping
hazard.
4. Plug water puck cable into the ALM sensor connector.
5. Test water puck for operation by setting it in a small puddle
or by holding a damp towel on its bottom surface.
Connect Power
1. Connect the supplied power adapter to the alarm unit as
shown. Plug the power adapter into the wall receptacle and
verify that the green “power” indicator illuminates.
2. Install the 9V battery as shown. Paying attention to polarity,
the battery should gently push into place and latch on the
ledge at the bottom of the battery chamber.
Note: A 9V battery must be installed in the device at all times
to ensure proper operation.

NightEye Configuration
If your device is NightEye enabled, download the NightEye
application from the Apple App store or the Google Play store.
Follow the directions provided in the NightEye to configure the
device.
Alarm Testing
Sump Pump Sensor
This switch is a self-contained
unit. The internal float may not be
visible from the outside of the
switch housing. The switch should
be placed such that the activation
point (the bump on the right) is
slightly higher than the pump
activation point.
1. In order to test the proper
operation of the float switch,
we recommend raising the
water level in your sump pit
above its normal operating
level. When the water level
reaches the lowest mark on
the side of the float housing,
the alarm will activate.
Alternately, a cup of water can be used to confirm float
operation. Raise the cup of water up to the float, and
submerse the float past the bump on the right. This will
trigger the alarm.
2. Once alarm begins to sound, it will continue to sound until
the water level is lowered. The audible alarm can be silenced
using the Silence button on the front of the device. The alarm
will stay silenced for 6 hours after the silence button is
pressed.
3. Once testing is complete, lower the water level in the pit back
to its normal range.
Sewage Pump Sensor
1. Manually tip the float up.
2. Once alarm begins to sound, it will continue to sound until
the float is tipped down. The audible alarm can be silenced
using the Silence button on the front of the device. The alarm
will stay silenced for 6 hours after the silence button is
pressed.
3. Lower the float back to its resting position to reset the alarm.
Auxiliary Contacts
This device comes equipped
with auxiliary contacts.
These contacts can be used
to integrate the output of
this alarm with an existing
home monitoring system.
Contact Rating: Class 2,
24 VDC/VAC (50/60 HZ)
500 mA maximum.
Operation and Maintenance
Now that your alarm unit has been configured and tested, it is
ready for operation.
The following is a list of regular maintenance tasks:
•Test the alarm system every 6 months.Follow the
procedure outlined in Alarm Testing.
In the event the 9V battery is low, the alarm will emit a short chirp
about twice per minute. The 9V battery should be replaced any
time the yellow “low battery” indicator on the alarm unit is lit or
every 12 months.
In the event that an alarm condition is detected by the system, the
audible and visual alarms will activate. The automatic reset feature
of the alarm will turn the audible and visual alarms off once the
condition has been corrected.
