For clear water, emergency backup usage when power is off or the primary pumps fail |
Extra protection when the primary AC pump fails due to power outages in storms, brownouts, wiring or electrical problems, when the primary pump fails due to damage, mechanical malfunction or obstructions in the pit, or when the primary pump fails to keep up with excessive water due to rain or overloading |
No other system offers the reliability and protection provided by the Basement Sentry® |
Pumps - 12 VDC, highly efficient with non-corrosive pump construction (supplied with 6 ft leads) |
Control box includes battery burn-out and overcharge protection, self-contained 10 A battery recharger system is a solid state, automatic controller with alarms, light indicators and warning systems |
LCD screen - always displays battery voltage along with other helpful information about the system |
LED light indicators - AC power blinks red when power is out |
Charged - green indicates battery is fully charged |
Charging - yellow indicates power is going to battery |
Low Battery - red light blinks when below 10.8 V and rapidly blinks when below 8.4 V |
High water - yellow light will blink when the float is activated, and becomes solid after 3 seconds |
Alarm Off - yellow light indicates the buzzer is currently silenced |
Battery case - included battery case will accommodate maximum battery dimensions of 13 in L x 7-1/2 in W x 9-1/2 in H and fits all group size 27, 29 and 31 batteries |
Made from non-corrodible polyethylene, use multiple batteries, order extra battery case with hookup wire |
Battery life - estimated life of a fully charged (175 min reserve capacity) battery when the pump is operating continuously is approximately 7.5 hr |
Example - the pump's capacity at 10 ft head is 900 gph (3407 Lph) |
Most backup systems require intermittent pump operation |
System will provide protection for extended periods of time dependent upon stop-start requirements |
