3. Configuració i instal·lació

The Zoeller 507-0005 system requires a separate sump pump and a 12V deep cycle marine battery (not included) for complete functionality. Ensure all components are purchased separately before beginning installation.

Passos d'instal·lació:

  1. Prepareu el pou de desguàs: Ensure the sump pit is clean and free of debris. The primary sump pump should be installed and operational according to its manufacturer's instructions.
  2. Position the Backup Pump: Place the Zoeller 507-0005 backup pump in the sump pit, ensuring it is positioned above the primary pump's intake but below its discharge level. The float switch must have unrestricted movement.
  3. Connecteu la canonada de descàrrega: Connect the backup pump's discharge to the main discharge line using appropriate PVC piping and fittings. A check valve should be installed on the backup pump's discharge line to prevent water from flowing back into the pit.
  4. Install Battery Case: Place the non-corrosive polyethylene battery case in a dry, accessible location near the sump pit. Secure it with the provided lock strap.
  5. Connecta la bateria: Connect a fully charged 12V deep cycle marine battery (not included) to the battery recharger/controller unit. Ensure correct polarity (+ to + and - to -).
  6. Connectar el controlador: Connect the backup pump to the automatic controller unit. Plug the controller's power cord into a standard 120V AC outlet. The 10 amp battery recharger will begin charging the battery.
  7. Prova el sistema: After installation, manually lift the float switch to activate the backup pump and verify proper operation. Ensure water is discharged correctly and the system activates and deactivates as expected.

4. Funcionament

The Zoeller 507-0005 Basement Sentry operates automatically to provide backup pumping when needed. The system's solid-state automatic controller continuously monitors the primary power and water levels.

Funcionament automàtic:

  • When the primary AC power is interrupted or the primary sump pump fails, the water level in the sump pit will rise.
  • The reliable low voltage float switch of the backup pump will activate when the water reaches a predetermined level.
  • The backup pump will then begin pumping water out of the sump pit using power from the connected 12V battery.
  • Once the water level drops and the float switch deactivates, the pump will turn off.

Controller Indicators and Alarms:

The system's controller features light indicators and an audible alarm to communicate its status:

  • Indicador d'alimentació: Illuminates when AC power is supplied to the controller.
  • Indicador de càrrega: Shows the battery charging status.
  • Pump Active Indicator: Illuminates when the backup pump is running.
  • Alarma: An audible alarm will sound to indicate a system event, such as a power outage, low battery, or pump activation.
  • Alarm Off (Yellow Light): Indicates the buzzer is currently silenced.
