2. UPS and External Batteries
The UPS model is CyberPower CP1500PFCLCD PFC Sinewave UPS System. Its input is plugged into a wall outlet. It has an internal 24V battery( 2x 12V/9Ah connected in series). In a heavily raining day, the internal battery can run the sump pump for about an hour (roughly 5 seconds per minute). To extend the sump pump's running time, I added two external batteries. The sump pump power cord is plugged into one of the UPS' inverter outputs.
The two external batteries are 12 Volt 100Ah Deep Cycle AGM Battery from RENOGY. They are connected in series to make a 24V battery group which is connected in parallel with the internal batteries.
The UPS can draw big current from battery, thus gauge 6 wire is used for battery connections.
3. Sensors
Water level sensor from Anndason, model# DP5200 is used to detect the water level in the sump well. It can trigger alarm before the sump pump overflows and indirectly indicate the sump pump's potential malfunction .
Water overflow sensor from UHPPOTE is used to detect water on the floor if the sump well overflows.
