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.
