The Exerciser® also detects if a foreign object is keeping the pump from turning freely by monitoring both the motor inrush current and the motor run current. If The Exerciser® detects a fault condition, it turns the pump off, turns on the audible alarm, flashes the Run/Fault LED, and closes the alarm relay contact. One minute after a fault condition is first detected, The Exerciser® will again attempt to start the pump. If the fault is detected the second time, The Exerciser® wait one more minute and then try a third time to start the pump. If the pump starts and runs normally, the fault history clears after thirty minutes. If the pump fails to start and run the third time, the fault condition remains present until the reset button is depressed.
The Test/Reset push-button has two functions: If there is no fault present, pressing the button will start the 3 second Pump Exercise cycle, and reset the exercise time delay for 7 more days. If a fault alarm is present, pressing the button will silence the buzzer and reset the alarm, allowing normal operation. (Assuming that the pump is free of any obstruction.)
The SPEX-1 is a simple home alarm system for basement protection. With the sump pump alarm contact it is also the perfect fit for truck loading docks, elevator sump areas, and dry pit sump areas.
Reminder: Always unplug pump from Exerciser® when inspecting pump.

The Exerciser® has been designed to regularly energize Sump and Sewage Pumps rated 115 VAC, 1/2 HP, that may go for extended periods of time without being run. By periodically exercising sump pumps that may otherwise sit for an extended period of time, The Exerciser® keeps your sump and/or sewage pump ready to go. |
