Introduction; System Specifications; Backup Pump Alarm - The Basement Watchdog Combo Manuel D'instructions

Introduction

The Basement Watchdog combination sump pump
system is designed to provide both primary and
backup pumping capabilities. The primary pump
will operate as long as it is receiving AC power. If
the power is interrupted, or more water is coming
into the sump than the AC pump can handle, the
backup sump pump will begin pumping
automatically. The backup system has unique
monitoring features that diagnose a problem and
sound an alarm. A light on the display panel of
the control unit will indicate the cause of the
alarm and the corrective action. The two systems
have been preassembled for easy installation.

Sump Pump System includes:
• A 1/3 HP primary pump with a caged dual
float switch, and a blue piggyback controller
that plugs into the wall outlet
• A backup pump supported by a bracket
• A control unit for the backup pump with a
battery fluid sensor, a dual float switch, and
battery cables
• A cable tie to attach the backup control unit
to the discharge pipe

fluid sensor
