Not so sure. I think it would not turn on at all.
If I remember correctly, the pumps shut off at zero voltage in the signal wire.

Re: UPS Backup??
Yup! Unplugged the unit with the WP on a non system outlet and it stopped.... There goes my plan....
Re: UPS Backup??
Nice way of continuous charging..I am searching for one such system of continuous charging and now I will apply your way..rimai wrote:Yes, you could use a 12VDC power supply to feed power to the WP40 like the vortech pumps. There are some reference schematics floating around in the web for that. It needs to be the same as the tunze backup system.
The theory is to use a relay to feed 24V from the WP40 power supply on normal mode and 12VDC from a car battery or similar when on outage mode.
I personally use vortech, so I have a small motorcycle battery hooked up to a solar panel that keeps charging the battery continuously during the day and I use this bike battery as back up battery for the vortech in case of outage.
