red lion RL-SPBS Manuals

EN INTRODUCTION This instruction sheet provides you with the information required to safely own and operate your Red Lion pump. Retain these instructions for future reference. The Red Lion pump you have purchased is of the highest quality workmanship and material, and has been engineered to give you long and reliable service. Red Lion pumps are carefully tested, inspected, and packaged to ensure safe delivery and operation. Please examine your pump carefully to ensure that no damage occurred during shipment. If damage has occurred, please contact the place of purchase. They will assist you in replacement or repair, if required. READ THESE INSTRUCTIONS CAREFULLY BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL, OPERATE, OR SERVICE YOUR Red Lion PUMP. KNOW THE PUMP’S APPLICATION, LIMITATIONS, AND POTENTIAL HAZARDS. PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS BY OBSERVING ALL SAFETY INFORMATION. FAILURE TO COMPLY WITH THESE INSTRUCTIONS COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE! SAFETY GUIDELINES Do not use to pump flammable or explosive fluids such as gasoline, fuel oil, kerosene, etc. Do not use in explosive atmospheres. Pump should be used with liquids compatible with pump component materials. Do not handle the pump or charger/control unit with wet hands or when standing on a wet or damp surface or in water. To reduce the risk of electric shock, be certain that the DC control unit is connected to an outlet protected by a ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Do not use the same 115 V outlet for the primary pump and DC control unit. Do not use an extension cord. In any installations where property damage and/or personal injury might result from inoperative pumps or basin overflow due to power outages, discharge line blockage, or any other reason, a backup system(s) and/or alarm should be used. The battery required to operate this unit contains acid and proper precautions must be taken when handling. To prevent accidental shorting across battery terminals, strap cover securely on battery box. Do not leave battery uncovered. Always make sure the control unit is unplugged prior to making connections or disconnections to the battery. A spark near the battery may cause battery explosion. OPERATION NOTE: The battery required for operation of this kit is not included. This kit requires a good quality 12 Volt battery to gain maximum pumping time during a power outage. A deep cycle, 12 Volt, 105 amp-hour marine battery or larger is recommended. A battery of this size will provide approximately 7 hours of operation in an installation with 8' of head pressure. Maximum battery size that can fit in the supplied battery case is 8" height X 7-1/2" width X 12-1/2" length. The DC control unit is equipped with a 900 mA amp automatic charger for maintaining the battery in a ready state, and recharging depends upon the power drain during the AC power interruption. A completely drained battery may require up to 150 hours for full recharge. CHARGING A 12 V BATTERY After connection to AC power and battery, the charger starts its 5-Stage charging process, as described, in the following order: STAGE ONE: PRE-QUALIFICATION TEST (BatteryTesting) Yellow LED flashes for normally 45 seconds. If reverse battery connections, wrong battery connected (24 V battery etc.), or batteries with shorted cells are found, further testing stops and the red LED will flash. STAGE TWO: BULK-CHARGE CHARGING Yellow LED illuminates continuously, indicating that the charger is charging the battery at the full rated amps output. This stage ends when the battery voltage reaches 14.4 Vdc. STAGE THREE: EQUALIZATION-CHARGE CHARGING Yellow LED illuminates continuously and regulates battery voltage to approximately 14.4 Vdc till battery reaches full charge. STAGE FOUR: FLOAT / MAINTENANCE Green LED illuminates continuously. Charging is complete. The charger maintains the battery at full charge by regulating the battery’s voltage to approximately 13.2 Vdc. STAGE FIVE: RECYCLED CHARGE This stage is an extension of Stage 4 and monitors the battery. If a load (lamp or radio, etc.) is applied to the battery, OR if a minimum of 28 days elapses, the charger resets itself automatically and begins a new charge cycle, starting from Stage One. WARNING: The backup pump relies on a sufficiently charged battery to operate the pump. The charger is designed to charge the battery and maintain charge level when the backup pump is not in use. If battery voltage drops below 10 Volts, backup pump must be disconnected from circuit for charger to recharge battery. During charging or while maintaining battery, periodically (at least daily) check on your charging system (just as you would with any electrical appliance). Adverse AC line power surges, dips, and/or other conditions, may affect the charger and require your attention. The battery and battery connections need to be checked every three months. Handle batteries carefully to avoid contact with acid. The back-up pump is designed for handling clear water. Do not use it in septic tanks to pump effluent or in sewage pits to pump sewage. Do not allow the pump to run dry (without liquid). Heat build up caused by friction will damage the pump parts when run dry. This unit is permanently lubricated. Oiling is not required. Do not install or store the pump where it will be exposed to the weather or to temperatures below freezing. 1 RL-SPBS • BACK-UP SUMP PUMP • BOMBA DE SUMIDERO • POMPE DE VIDANGE P. O.
