IntroductionThe PHCC Pro Series 2400 A/C-D/C backup sumppump is designed as an emergency backupsystem to support your main AC sump pump, andit will automatically begin pumping any time thefloat switch is activated by rising water.If your main AC pump breaks or is unable to keepup with all the incoming water, the Pro Seriespump is capable of running without dischargingthe battery, as long as the AC power is on. Assoon as the AC power is interrupted, the batterytakes over. Should any malfunction or emergencyoccur that involves the sump pump, the battery,or the AC power, the Pro Series system will soundan alarm. A light on the display panel of thecontrol unit will indicate the cause of the alarmand the corrective action.For added reliability, the float switch has, notone, but two floats mounted within a protectivecage. Should one float fail to operate, the secondfloat automatically activates the pump. Theprotective cage prevents debris or other wiresfrom interfering with the movement of the floats.To extend the battery run time, two batteries maybe connected to the Pro Series 2400 system bypurchasing a second battery and acid pack, aswell as a set of battery jumper cables. Jumpercables specifically designed for this use areavailable from the manufacturer, Glentronics, Inc.The Pro Series Sump Pump System includes: A control unit with a dual float switch, abattery fluid level sensor, battery cables, a 5amp AC fuse, and a 25 amp DC fuse A metal hose clamp for mounting the floatswitch A pump A battery boxThe internal construction of some wet cell batteriesmay not be compatible with this system.Glentronics can not guarantee the compatibility ofother brands of batteries.

Pump & PipeInstallation InstructionsNORMAL SUMP PITINSTALLATIONSUse a pit that conforms to all local codes, andcheck the code to see if a gate valve or ballvalve if is required. Whenever possible, installyour Pro Series backup pump with a directdischarge to the outdoors. By using thismethod, there will always be an outlet for thewater from the sump. During times of veryheavy rain, many storm sewers fill up. If yourpump is trying to discharge water into a fullsewer, there is nowhere for the water to go. Bydischarging directly outdoors, there is always anoutlet for the water that is pumped out of thesump. For this method, you will need to drill ahole through a floor joist or the foundation fromthe basement to the outside of the house.If the direct discharge method is not possible orconvenient, the Pro Series pump can beconnected to the same line as your main ACsump pump by installing a “Y” connector andtwo (2) check valves.SLOPEPIPEDOWNSLOPEPIPEDOWN"Y" CONNECTORRIGID1-1/2"PVC PIPE45º ELBOWRIGID1-1/2"PVC PIPEUNIONOR CHECKVALVEInstallation ADirect Dischargeto OutsidePage 4DRILL 1/8" HOLEIF CHECKVALVE USEDCHECKVALVEPUMPWIREPUMPWIREDRAIN TILE1/8" HOLEDRAIN TILEPIPEADAPTERPIPE ADAPTERPRO SERIESBACKUP PUMPCHECKVALVECHECKVALVEMAINAC PUMPPRO SERIESBACKUP PUMPMAINAC PUMPInstallation BConnectionto ExistingDischarge PipePage 5NARROW SUMP PITINSTALLATIONSFLOORJOISTIn most cases, the backup pump will fit next tothe main AC pump in the sump pit.

Pump & PipeInstallation InstructionsINSTALLATION A:DIRECT DISCHARGE TO THE OUTSIDE OF THEBUILDING (Diagram A)! DANGERUnplug the main AC pump when installingthe backup pump to avoid electric shock.Failure to do so could cause serious injuryor death.1. Cut a piece of 1½” rigid PVC pipe longenough to reach from the bottom of thesump pit to one (1) foot above the floor.Prime and cement it to a 1½” pipe adapter,then screw the adapter into the pump.2. Secure the pump wire so that the plug on theend will not fall into the sump. Attach thewire to the pipe with a piece of tape.3. Place the pump with the PVC pipeattachment on the bottom of the sump floornext to the main AC pump. The pumpsshould not touch each other. Do not mountthe pump to any existing pipes; it should beplaced on the floor of the sump. A brick maybe placed under the pump if there are rocksor other debris on the sump floor that mayclog the pump.4. Attach a union or a check valve to the top ofthe 1½” pipe. This will allow the pump tobe removed easily, should the need arise.The path of the rest of the pipe and the detailsof each installation will vary. Using soundplumbing practices, route the discharge pipe toan exterior wall via the shortest path with thefewest turns. More turns will reduce thepumping capacity. The pipe section exiting thebuilding should be on a downward slope so thatthe water in the pipe will exit outside instead ofreturning to the sump pit. Be sure to seal thehole in the wall where the pipe exits, and primeand cement or clamp all connections securely toprevent leaking. When directly discharging tothe outside of the building, no check valve isrequired. However, a check valve will preventwater from flowing back into the pit when thepump has stopped.pipe in the installation (including verticaland horizontal runs), install a check valve inplace of the union. Make sure it is installedwith the arrow pointing up, or it will notprevent the backflow of water. When a checkvalve is used, a 1/8” hole must be drilled inthe PVC pipe above the Pro Series pump.Drill the hole at a 45 angle toward thebottom of the sump to avoid splashing wateroutside the sump pit. Make sure the hole isabove the water line and below the checkvalve. If a hole is not drilled above thepump, an air lock may prevent the pumpfrom operating.FLOORJOISTSLOPEPIPEDOWNCAUTIONIf you use more than a total of 20 feet of31RIGID1-1/2"PVC PIPEUNIONOR CHECKVALVEDRILL 1/8" HOLEIF CHECKVALVE USEDCHECKVALVEPUMPWIREDRAIN TILEPIPE ADAPTER24MAINAC PUMPPRO SERIESBACKUP PUMPDiagram APage 4

Battery InstructionsThis system will accommodate both Pro Series B2200 wet cell as well as the B12-90 and B12-100maintenance free batteries. To double theruntime of the backup system, two of the samemodel batteries can be connected together.Ideally the batteries should be of similar age.Connecting an old and new battery together willnot charge properly. Specific connectioninstructions will be explained on page 10.CAUTION The use of automotive batteries is NOTrecommended. Automotive batteries arenot designed for this application. They willonly run the pump for a short time and willhave a shorter life than a standby battery. The battery fluid sensor is designed to fitthe Pro Series Standby batteries.Measuring the battery fluid is one of themost important features of the system,since about 80% of backup sump pumpfailures are the result of a battery that hasdried out. The internal construction of some wet cellbatteries may not be compatible with thissystem. Glentronics can not guarantee thecompatibility of other brands of batteries.The use of a Pro Series 2200 battery isHIGHLY recommended.! DANGERDO NOT insert the fluid sensor into anybattery except a Pro Series Standby battery.DO NOT drill a hole in another brand ofbattery to accommodate the fluid sensor.DO NOT use the enclosed battery cap on anybattery except a Pro Series battery. DO NOTdrill a hole in the cap of another brand ofbattery to accommodate the fluid sensor.Batteries emit explosive gases which cancause serious injury or death.PREPARING THE PRO SERIESSTANDBY BATTERYThe Pro Series Standby batteries are shipped dry(without acid) so they never lose power beforeyou take them home. A battery is activatedwhen the acid is added, and then it slowlybegins to deteriorate as it ages. By adding theacid just before use, the battery will always befresh. Use 1.265 specific gravity battery acid tofill the battery. It is available where youpurchased the battery.! DANGER/POISONContains sulfuric acid. Wear eye andclothing protection. If battery acid contactsskin or clothing, wash immediately withsoap and water. If acid enters eyes, flushwith water for 15 minutes, and get promptmedical attention.

(Diagram E)A newly filled battery will sometimes requireadditional acid after about 20 minutes. Reexamine the fill level, and add additional acid ifnecessary. The battery acid may bubble at thistime and give off a sulfur-like smell, but this isnormal. After the battery has been filled, screwthe six (6) caps securely on the top of the battery.The battery will be charged 70-80% 30 minutesafter adding the acid. The system will thenfinish charging the battery. During this time thealarm may sound.CAUTIONWhen you fill the battery for the FIRST time,it will be the ONLY time you add acid to thebattery. In the future, when the fluid level islow, add distilled water to the cells. NEVERadd more acid.This backup system will also accommodate amaintenance-free battery, eliminating the needto fill the battery. Slide the switch on the frontof the controller panel to the type of batterybeing used with the system. The fluid sensor isnot needed when using maintenance-freebatteries. However, you MUST attach the fluidsensor to the positive post of the battery tosilence the fluid alarm.1BATTERY ATO FILL THE BATTERY1.
