PERFORMANCE
SPECIFICATIONS
ATTENTION
The Primary Sump Pump Backup Power System will convert DC power from
a 12VDC Deep Cycle Battery to AC power. When the Primary Sump Pump
Backup Power System is inverting, the output waveform is a pure sine wave.
The Primary Sump Pump Backup Power System is grounded via a PCB Ground
Plane. This grounding technique is not detected by GFCI testing devices.

OPERATION
When 120VAC household power is available to the Primary Sump Pump
Backup Power System, household power is directly routed through to both of
the outlet receptacles. When the unit is powered ON (the “Power” indicator
LED will be BLUE), the unit will charge the connected 12VDC Deep Cycle
Battery if needed. The “Charge” status indicator LED will be RED while
charging the battery. The “Full” status indicator LED will be BLUE once the
battery is fully charged. When AC power is lost, the Primary Sump Pump
Backup Power System will automatically activate and convert the 12VDC input
to 120 VAC pure sine wave output at both of the outlet receptacles.
The “Fault” status indicator LED will turn RED when the Primary Sump Pump
Backup Power System is overloaded, overheating, receiving low household
voltage, or has a short circuit.
Multiple 12VDC Deep Cycle Batteries may be
connected in parallel. A PumpSpy Maintenance
Free AGM Deep Cycle Battery is recommended.

INSTALLATION
1. Ensure the Backup Power System is powered off and disconnected from both
AC and DC power.
2. Remove the Pre-Charge Kit from the positive (RED) battery lead ring. Open
the Pre-Charge Kit and wrap one of the resistor wires around the positive
(RED) battery lead ring.
3. Using the end not connected to the resistor wire, connect the positive (RED)
battery lead to the positive (RED) terminal on the Backup Power System.
Tighten the terminal retention knob securely by hand. Do not use any tools
to tighten as this may break the retention knob.
4. Connect the negative (BLACK) battery lead to the negative (BLACK)
terminal on the Backup Power System. Tighten the terminal retention knob
securely by hand. Do not use any tools to tighten as this may break the
retention knob.
5. Connect the negative (BLACK) battery lead to the negative (BLACK)
terminal on the 12VDC Deep Cycle Battery. Secure the connection per the
battery manufacturer’s recommendation.
6. Touch and hold the free end of the resistor wire to the positive (Red)
terminal on the battery for 3 seconds. Completely remove the resistor wire
from the positive (RED) battery lead ring.
7. Connect the positive (RED) battery lead to the positive (RED) terminal on
the 12VDC Deep Cycle Battery. Secure the connection per the battery
manufacturer’s recommendation.
8. Plug the Backup Power System into a 120VAC outlet.
9. Conrm that the power switch is in the OFF position. Plug your sump
pump(s) into either of the two 120VAC outlet receptacles.
10. Flip the power switch into the ON position.
11. Allow the Backup Power System to charge the battery until the “Full” status
indicator LED is BLUE.
12. Test the AC power functionality by manually activating the connected sump
pump(s).
13. Test the DC power functionality by unplugging the Backup Power System
from the 120VAC outlet to simulate a power outage. Then, manually
activate the connected sump pump(s).
14. Reconnect the Backup Power System to a 120VAC outlet.
ATTENTION
An optional grounding wire is included to connect the Primary Sump Pump
Backup Power System’s case to the mounted wall.

TROUBLESHOOTING
“FAULT” STATUS INDICATOR LED IS RED
A RED “Fault” status indicator LED is a sign of system trouble. Make sure that
the cooling fans are clear of any obstacles and debris. Check your household
voltage to make sure it is at least 110VAC. If you are using both outlets, make
sure the combined current draw of the connected devices does not exceed
16.6 Amps on a continuous basis. The Power Unit will automatically shut down,
an alarm will sound, and the “Fault” status indicator LED will turn RED when
the load exceeds 16.6 Amps.
LOW VOLTAGE ALARM
When the Battery voltage drops below 10VDC, an audible alarm will sound to
indicate that it needs to be recharged.
WARNING
Always disconnect the power unit from power sources before handling.This
guide is designed to help identify reasons for potential operating problems. It
is not a service guide. Dismantling of the Primary Sump Pump Backup Power
System voids warranty. Servicing of power unit should be referred to PumpSpy.
MAINTENANCE
The Primary Sump Pump Backup System should be checked frequently for
debris and/or build up on the cooling fans which may interfere with proper ow
to cool the unit during operation. The cooling fans should be cleaned with a
vacuum to remove any buildup at least every 3 months, or more frequently if
the unit is mounted in an area where excess dust or debris my be present.
Deep Cycle Batteries generally last between 3 to 5 years in a sump pump
backup installation. It is recommended that the battery is tested every 6
months to ensure it is ready for service.
