INITIAL START-UP AND OPERATION
 1. Testtheinstallationforleaksbyrunningwaterintothesump,allowing
for normal operation of the primary pump.
 2. Checkthecontroller.TheSystemReadylightwillbegreenwhentheunit
ispluggedintothe115Vwalloutlet.Thebatterywillindicateitscondition
whenthecontrollerhasDCpower.Whentheunitisrstpluggedin,all
lightswillash and alarm willsoundtoverify all lights andthealarm
work.TheSpincontrollerpowersupexpectingtheoperationalswitch
tobeconnected.Thereisanoptionalhighwateroatswitchavailable
also.Ifoneorbothoatswitchesarenotconnected,therewillbevarious
alarms depending on what is connected. If this occurs, simply plug in
bothswitchesandthenresetthealarmsbyholdingtheSilencebutton
for3seconds.Notethatthechargermaynotbeginchargingforseveral
minutes.
3. Disconnect the primary pump from its power source before touching
any component in the sump pit.
 4. LifttheSpin'soperationalfloatswitch.After1second“splashactivation
prevention” delay, the DC backup pump will run, and the alarm will
sound after 1 more second. Lower the operational float switch after the
alarm sounds. TakecarethattheintakeoftheDCpumpissetabovethe
intake of the primary pump. If water was pumped, the Yellow DC Pump
LED and alarm will remain on, indicating that the pump ran and pumped
water.ThealarmcanbesilencedbypressingtheSilencebutton.The
yellowLEDcanbeclearedbyholdingtheSilencebuttonfor3secondsto
reset.Iftheoperationaloatisheldonwhilethereisnowatertopump,
the controller will turn the pump on and off a few times before running the
pumpcontinuous.Thisistopurgeasuspectedairlock.Whentheoatis
lowered,thepump will turn off, but the yellow DC Pump LED will not persist.
TheyellowDCPumpLEDandalarmonlystayonifthepumpactuallypumps
water.Theintentionofthisbehaviorissotheinstallercanturnthepump
on and off for testing during installation without repeatedly having to reset
thecontroller.Iftheoperationaloatisremoved/unplugged,therewillbe
analarmandaredashingFloatStatusLEDuntilsilencedorremedied.If
theoperationaloatwasneverinstalled,thealarmandredashingFloat
StatusLEDwilloccurfor4hoursandthenturnoff.Ifthereisaneedfor
thecontrollertodisregardtheoperationaloat(forexample,serviceor
replacement),aFactoryResetcanbeinitiated.Unplugtheoperational
oatandthenholdtheTestandSilencebuttonstogetherfor6seconds.
ThiswillinstructthecontrollertoNOTalarmforthemissingoperational
oatandresettheunit.
CAUTION

the pump seals. Upon release of the float switch, the pump will shut off.
Be certain there are no obstructions around the float or stem that will
prevent the switch from turning off.
 5. OptionalHighWaterFloatSwitch.Checkinstallationofthehighwater
switch taking care that it is installed so that its “on” point is higher than
the“on”pointoftheoperationalswitch.Liftthehighwateroat.After1
second “splash activation prevention” delay the pump will turn on, the
alarm will sound, and the light will alert of high water. If the operational
oatisdown,andtheDCpumpisunderwater,thepumpwillrununtilthe
oatlowersandthepumpisnolongerpumpingwater,ortheruntimer
expires.AoatfaultLEDwillbelit.Duringaoatfault,theoperational
oatisdisregardeduntilthecontrollerisreset.Iftheoperationaloat
isupduring high water, unit willalarmandhigh water oat light will
illuminate.Thepumpwillturnoffoncewaterispumpedlowerthanthe
operationaloat.
Ifthehighwateroatisheldonwhiletheoperationaloatisdownand
there is no water to pump, the controller will turn the pump on and off
afew timesbeforerunningthepump continuously.Thisistopurge a
suspected air lock. If the high water oat is removed/unplugged, the
resulting controller and pump behaviors are the same as if it was turned
“on”.ThealarmandredFloatStatusLEDwillbeonuntilsilencedand
reset, respectively. If there is a need for the controller to disregard the
highwateroat(forexample,serviceorreplacement),aFactoryReset
canbeinitiated.UnplugthehighwateroatandthenholdtheTestand
Silencebuttonstogetherfor6seconds.Thiswillinstructthecontroller
toNOTalarmforthemissinghighwateroat.Whenanewhighwater
oatisreceived,simplyplugitinandthecontrollerwillseeitandmonitor
it from that point forward.
 6. Completethenaltestingof yourinstallationby ensuringtheprimary
pumpisstilldisconnectedfrompower.Then,unplugtheSpincontroller
from the 115 V wall outlet. Run water into the sump until the DC backup
pumpisactivatedbytheoperationaloatswitch.Checkallconnections
for leaks.
 7. Push the Silence button when the pump is running. This will silence
thealarm.The pumpwillcontinueto run untiltheoperational oat is
deactivated.
 8. ReconnectthecontrollerandtheprimarypumptotheACwalloutlets.The
primary pump may come on, lower the water level in the sump back to its
normal operating level, and shut off. Both primary and backup systems
are now ready for use. Hold silence button for 3 seconds to reset the Fit

Forthoseunfamiliarwiththeproduct,behaviorsintheSpinmayinitiallyseemunusual.Forexample,thecontrollerisabletorecognizepotentialairlocksituations
andremedywithanon/off/on/off/onroutineproventopurgetheproblematicairfromthepump.Further,advancedoatlogicenablesthecontrollertosenseother
pumpingissuessuchasastuckoat,allowingthesystemtotakeactionstopreventdamagetoequipment.
TheLEDshavespecicpatternsandbehaviorsthatdifferfromotherproductsonthemarket.Forexample,theDCPumpLEDwillstayYellowafterpumpingwater,
alertingthehomeownerofaDCpump-runevent.IfthepumprunsanddoesNOTpumpwater(forexamplewhenliftingtheoatmanuallyasatestwiththepump
abovethewaterline),theLEDwillnotstayYellow.Thisismeanttobeanaidtotheinstallerinordertotestthepumpwithouthavingtoresetiteachtime.
Wheneitheroatisdisconnected,thealarmwillsoundandtheRedFloatStatusLEDwillblinkindicatingthattheoatstatehaschanged.Disconnectingthehigh
wateroatwillcausethepumptorun.Ifthereisanoperationaloatfaultdiagnosedbythecontroller,youmaynoticethatitnolongerturnsthepumponandoff.This
isbecausethesequenceofprioreventsindicatedthattheoperationaloatcan’tbetrusted(suchasliftingthehighwateroatwhiletheoperationaloatisdown–
thisisillogicaltothecontrollersincewaterwouldalwayslifttheoperationaloatrst),andthecontrollerwillrelyoninputfromthehighwateroat.Sincethehigh
wateroatdoesnothaveasufcientpumpingrange,thecontrollerwillturnthepump“off”once30secondshaveelapsedorthepumpbeginsspinninginair.The
Spinofferstrueredundancyforpumpoperationthatcompetitor’sproductsdonothave.
Beforeleavingtheinstallationsite,theinstallermustinitiateaResetbyholdingtheSilencebuttonfor3seconds.Thiswillensurethatallsystemsareinastandby,
ready state.

CARBON MONOXIDE DETECTORS
WhetheryouhaveanAquanot®BackupPumpSystemoracompetitivebrand,allusebatteriesthat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 Pump Company recommends moving the battery as far away from the CO detector as possible or, if necessary, vent the battery to the exterior. Zoeller
Pump Company 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,achargingbatterymaybeproducinggaseousby-productswhicharecausingtheCOdetectortoactivate.
Contact the manufacturer and ask for recommendations to prevent the alarm activation.
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 charging circuits of the Control. It is for this reason that Zoeller Pump Company offers its own line of batteries. We offer
bothawater/aciddeep-cyclebatteryandamaintenance-freeAGMbatterywhichcanrunthepumpcontinuouslyforover5hours.Thesetimesarebased
oncontinuouspumpingat8'(2.4m)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 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
• Tocheckspecificgravity,followtheinstructionsonahydrometer(wetcellbatteriesonly)
• Use of the included plastic battery box is recommended to keep the battery safe and clean.
PROTECTYOURWARRANTY:
• Waterlevelinbatteriesmustbecheckedonceamonth(wetcellbatteriesonly)
THE AQUANOT®BATTERY
MAINTENANCE
1. Inspect and test the system for proper operations at least every 3 months.*
 (a) Green "system ready" indicator light should be on, indicating AC
power is on and there are no alarm conditions.
 (b) Unplugtheprimarypumpandthecontrollerfromthepowersupply.
 (c) Fillthesumpwithwatertothe“on”levelfortheDCpump.Allowthe
pump to run a few minutes.
 (d) Thealarmwillsoundapproximately1secondafterthepumpstarts to
run.
 (e) PushtheSilence/Resetbutton.Thealarmwillturnoff.
 (f) Thepumpwillshutoffafterthewaterlevelisloweredandtheoat
drops tothe"off"position.
 (g) Holdsilence/resetbuttonfor3secondstoresetthecontrollerand
clear any alarms or indicators.
2. Plug the controller and the primary pump into the wall outlet.
 (a) The primary pump will come on, lower the water to the normal
operating level and shut off.
 (b) Thebatterylightwillbeyellowwhencharging.Thechargerisreplacing
theenergyconsumedduringthetest.Thegreenlightwillcomeonafter
the charger has replaced the energy consumed during the test.
*Electrolytelevelsinwetcellbatteriesshouldbecheckedmonthly.Sucha
checkisnotrequiredfor"maintenancefree"batterytypes.
TROUBLESHOOTING INFORMATION
1. DC pump won’t run.
 (a) Checkforproperconnections.
 (b) Checkallwireterminalpoints.Cleanifrequired.
 (c) Checkforlowbattery.Servicebatteryifrequired.
 (d) Check30ampfuseoncontroller(seeg.3).Iffuseisblown,replace
with 30 amp automotive blade fuse.
2. PumprunsbutpumpsverylittleornowaterwithoutACpower.
 (a) Checkforlowbattery.Batterywillrechargeifgreenpower“on”light
indicatespowerhasbeenrestoredandtheoatswitchisintheoff
position.
 (b) Ifimmediateusageisrequired,removeandreplacedeadbatterywith
a full recharged battery.
 (c) Duetovaryingconditionsthepumpmaycontinuetorunonalowbattery
withoutsufcientpowertoremovewater.Pumpwillnotstoprunning
until battery is below minimum voltage.
 (d)
CAUTION
Weak batteries can be recharged but may not store
sufcientenergyforfullservice.Aweakrechargedbatterycanonly
be detected by reduced pumping time or by professional load testing
equipment. If your emergency pump system is used frequently the
batteryshouldbecheckedbyaqualiedbatterydealer.
3. Pump runs but pumps very little or no water.
 (a) Verypumpisconnectedcompletely.
 (b) Checktomakesurepumpweepholeisclearandunitisnotairlocked.
 (c) Makesuredischargepipingisnotblocked.
4. Pump cycles too frequently.
 (a) Checkpositionsofrubberstopsonoperationaloatrod.
 (b) Adjustupperrubberoatstopasrequired.Recommendedforstandard
installation.
5. Float switch in “on” position for more than 3 seconds. Pump won’t run.
 (a) Removepump.Checkforobstructioninpumppreventingimpellerfrom
rotating.
6. Pump runs, but pumps water intermittently.
 (a) Pumpisairlocking.Checkowofwaterincomingtosump.Ifwateris
entering the sump at a high velocity creating a turbulent condition, a
mixture of air and water may cause a complete or partial air lock and
reduceorstoptheowofwaterinthedischargepipe.
 (b) Bafetheincomingstreamofwatertoreduceturbulence.Diverting
water stream against wall of basin usually corrects an air lock problem.
7. Water level stays high. DC Pump continues to run.
 (a) Batteryislow.
 (b) If power has been restored and water in sump remains high check
primarypump.Serviceifrequired.
 (c) Afterseveralhoursthebatterywillberestoredtofullcharge.
8. Alarmsoundsduringbatteryrechargecycle.
 (a) Tosilencealarmifalarmwillnotreset,unplugthechargerfrom115V
walloutlet,thendisconnecttheblackleadfromchargeronnegative(-)
