PREINSTALLATION CHECKLIST
ANY CHANGES TO THIS DOCUMENT MAY ALSO AFFECT FW0264, HF1619 AND GR2249.

1. Inspect your pump. Occasionally, products are damaged during shipment. If the unit or any of the parts are damaged, contact your dealer
before using.
2. Read all the installation instructions regarding installing and start up. Retain for future reference.
1. Make sure there is a properly grounded 115V receptacle avail-
able. Do not use primary pump circuit. The location must be within
6' of the control box and battery. The power supply for your DC
control system plugs directly into the 115V outlet. DO NOT USE
AN EXTENSION CORD.
2. Make sure the 115V electrical supply circuit is equipped
with fuses or circuit breakers of proper capacity.
3. DC emergency pumps are designed for handling clear water. Do
not use in septic tanks to pump efuent or sewage pits to pump
sewage.
4. Repair and service of your DC backup system should be performed
by an authorized service station.
5. The installation of DC automatic backup pumps requires the use
of a variable level oat switch for operation. It is the responsibility
of the installing party, to ensure that the tethered oat switch will
not hang up on the pump apparatus or pit peculiarities and is
secured so the pump will turn “on” and “off”. It is recommended
that the pit be 18" in diameter or larger to accommodate both a
primary and a DC backup pump.
SEE BELOW FOR LIST OF WARNINGS
1. Testing for Ground. As a safety measure each electrical outlet
should be checked for ground using an Underwriters Laboratory
listed circuit analyzer, which will indicate if the power, neutral and
ground wires are correctly connected to your outlet. If they are
not, call a qualied licensed electrician.
2. For your protection always disconnect the power supply from
its power source before handling the components of your DC
backup pump or the primary pump.
3. Installation and checking of electrical circuits and hardware should
be performed by a qualied, licensed electrician.
4. All electrical and safety codes must be followed in addition to
the National Electrical Code and all applicable local codes.
5. It is the owner’s responsibility to check the battery and
battery connection at least once a month. Batteries
contain acid and caution must be taken when handling.
6. Risk of electric shock - These pumps have not been investigated
for use in swimming pool areas.

Limited Warranty
Whether you have an Aquanot®Battery Backup Sump Pump System, or a competitive brand, all batteries give off gaseous by-products when
charging. Some of these by-products can produce a rotten egg odor. Also, some of these by-products can cause a CO detector to falsely
activate. In order to help prevent false activation, Zoeller recommends moving the battery as far apart from the CO detector as possible or, if
necessary, vent the battery to the exterior. Zoeller provides the previous statements only as guidelines to help prevent false activation of the
CO detector. In no way are they meant to supersede the instructions that accompany the detector nor do they supersede advice from the CO
detector manufacturer.
If the audible alarm associated with your CO detector is activated, we recommend the following actions:
1) Take immediate action for personal safety as recommended in the CO detector literature.
2) Contact the appropriate agency to determine if the CO is being produced by your furnace, water heater, or any other device which uses
natural gas.
3) If you are certain that no CO is being produced, then a charging battery may be producing gaseous by-products which are causing the
CO detector to activate. Contact the manufacturer of the CO detector, and ask for recommendations as to what can be done to prevent
the alarm activation.

The charger automatically monitors and charges your battery. In the event of a power outage the pump will be powered by the
battery. Once line power is restored, the charger will recharge the battery. If there is a failure of the primary pump, the charger will
supply power to the pump through the battery if line power is present; otherwise, the battery will take over until the problem has
been corrected.
The lights on the front panel of the charger indicate the state of system:
The red light: Indicates that AC line power is present.
The green light: Indicates that the battery is charged to 12V DC*.
During periods of extended power outage the charge on the battery may drop below 12V DC which would cause the green
light to go out. This is normal. The green light will be illuminated once the charger restores the voltage level to 12V DC.
The yellow light: Indicates that the battery is charged above 8V DC.
If the yellow light is not illuminated, it indicates that the charge on the battery is below 8V DC. If the line power is out, the pump
may have depleted the battery due to normal operation. If there has been no power outage and the primary pump is working
properly, it may indicate that the battery is defective or that the controller is defective. Refer to the Troubleshooting guide on
page 8 for further instructions.
 IftheGreenandYellowlightsashintermittently,refertoSectionGintheTroubleShootingGuideonpage8.
 *Voltageisonlyoneindicatorofthestateofthebattery,anddoesnotreectthetrueconditionofthebattery.Useahydrometerto
more accurately determine the condition of the battery.
Operation of the Aquanot®Charger
All Aquanot®pump systems are equipped with an alarm which sounds when the pump is activated. The alarm will automatically
silence when the pumping cycle is completed.
Activation of the audible alarm indicates that the primary pump has failed or line power to the primary pump is not present. When-
ever the alarm is activated the primary pump and outlet should be inspected.
The On/Off switch, located on the side of the alarm enclosure, allows the audible alarm to be turned off, however, this practice is
not recommended. Verify that the alarm switch is in the “on” position, by manually turning the pump “on”.
Operation of the Audible Alarm
There are millions of batteries manufactured each year, so it is impossible to guarantee consistent quality. A defective battery will
never become fully charged and may damage the circuits of the charger. It is for this reason that Zoeller offers its own line of bat-
teries. We offer two types of batteries; Water/Acid Deep-Cycle, and AGM - both power the pump continuously for over 3-1/2 hours.
These times are based on continuous pumping at 10’ of static head. Actual times will vary depending on static head, volume of
water entering the pit, and the condition of the battery.
Follow these recommendations:
• Use a B.C.I. size 27, 29, or 31 deep-cycle battery, 175 minute reserve capacity, or larger.
• Do NOT use a “maintenance-free” battery unless it is an AGM battery.
• Replace your battery every 3 years.
• Do not let corrosion build up on the battery terminals.
 • Donotplaceyourbatteryonaconcreteoorwhereitwilldischargefaster.
 • Tocheckspecicgravity,followtheinstructionsonahydrometer(notapplicableforAGMbatteries).
PROTECT YOUR WARRANTY:
• Water level in batteries must be checked once a month (not applicable for AGM batteries).

Before servicing a pump, always shut off the main
power breaker and then unplug the pump - making sure you
are not standing in water and are wearing insulated protective
soleshoes.Underoodedconditions,contactyourlocalelectric
companyoraqualied licensedelectrician fordisconnecting electrical
service prior to pump removal.
If the following checklist does not solve the problem, consult Zoeller’s
