Description
The FloodAlert control uses patented
electronic surface transfer (EST) to
detect the presence of water. Sensing
is not affected by oil, soaps, turbulence
or the waters resistance and is
intrinsically safe.
When water touches the tip of
FloodAlert’s sensing wire, a relay closes
turning on your pump. Patent pending
Zcross technology closes the relay
contact at zero volts and opens it at
zero current. This stops relay arcing,
extending relay life, stopping power-
line flicker, and making pump startups
smoother.
A settable “Run Timer” allows you to
change the pumping depth without
opening the sump pump pit. This
timer allows any quantity of water to
be pumped out of the sump and can
even pump it completely dry without
running the pump too long.
If the water level does not fall below
the tip of the wire while the pump is
running an alarm sounds indicating
high water pump failure or a clogged
discharge line. Two lights alternately
flash, warning you of a problem before
your basement floods. A standard 9-
volt battery operates the alarm during
a loss of power at the wall outlet.
The battery maintains the sensor and
alarm for two days without power.
Circuitry maintains the battery voltage
extending its shelf life to 7-years.
Use FloodAlert to convert your manual
pump to automatic or to replace a
defective float switch. FloodAlert
requires a grounded pump plug
or, alternatively, a grounded
connection to the sump. It will not
apply 120volts to the pump motor
without proper grounding.
