Basement Watchdog Emergency - Manual (Page 3)

Introduction
The Emergency Sump Pump System is
battery-operated. It is designed as an
emergency backup system to support
your regular AC sump pump, and it will
automatically begin pumping if your
main AC pump fails. Should any mal-
function or emergency occur that in-
volves the sump pump, the battery, or
the AC power, your Emergency Sump
Pump System will sound an alarm and
indicate the nature of the problem and
the solutions by means of a lighted
display on the control panel.
The Emergency Sump Pump System
includes:
1 Control unit with a float switch and a
battery fluid level sensor
1 Pump with 1 1 ⁄
2
" PVC pipe adapter
2 Plastic wire ties for mounting the
control unit and the float switch
1 Battery cap with a hole to
accommodate the fluid sensor
1 Battery charger
