General Information
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.
Thishighwaterlevel alarmsystemis designedforapplications 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
aboutyour systemin realtime.This systemprovides peaceof 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, thealarmis sureto 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
Alarm float adapters cannot be used with puddle sensors.
Do not cut the connector off a puddle sensor andwireit to the
float adapter. The sensor uses three wires for communication
and the float adapter has only two terminal blocks.
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 Puddle Sensor
Do not cut the connectoroff a puddle sensor and wire it to the
float adapter. The sensor uses three wires for communication
and the float adapter has only two terminal blocks.
1. Remove the puddle 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
Ifthedeviceis NightEye enabled, downloadthe NightEye appfrom
the Apple® App or Google® Play store. Follow the directions
provided in the NightEye app 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
normaloperatinglevel.Whenthe
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
waterlevelis lowered. Theaudible alarm can besilencedusing
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
Once the alarm unit has been configured and tested, it is ready for
operation.
In the event that an alarm condition is detectedby 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.
The following is a list of regular maintenance tasks:
1. Test the alarm system every 6 months.Follow the procedure
outlined in Alarm Testing.
2. When 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.
