Sump pump monitors especially need to be tested for proper operation due to the wet environment in the sump pump well.
Your sump pump alarm monitor should resemble one of the examples below. We have included basic instructions on how to test these devices to ensure Guardian will get the alarm signal when your water pumping device fails.
 |
On the blue swing arm switch, raise the arm as high as it will travel. Hold it in that position for five seconds. If the supervisory alarm does not activate the switch needs to be replaced. |
 |
On the black float switch, the switch should be hanging in the sump well. Lift the float and change the position of the switch from vertical to horizontal. Hold it in that position for five seconds. If the supervisory alarm does not activate, the switch needs to be replaced. |
Please take a moment to test your sump pump monitor using the directions above. If your monitor
appears different than the two examples above, use the directions of the device that most closely
resembles yours.
