Step 7 

– BP3 Wire & Cable Installation: 

Battery:

 Remove wing nuts from battery terminals and set aside for securing cables later. 

 

Battery Charger:

 The battery charger is supplied with both ring terminals and alligator clips. Use 

the ring terminals for the sump pump (the alligator clips are included as a courtesy for other types 
of temporary charging needs - A convenient inline connector is used for easy change out). Place 
the Red (+) ring terminal from the charger to the positive battery terminal and the Black (-) ring 
terminal to the negative battery terminal. 

Do not plug the charger in yet. 

 
Inverter / Battery Connections:

 Connect the supplied battery cables to the inverter terminals, Red 

cable to the positive 

“Red 12V” DC terminal and Black cable to the negative “Black 12V DC”. Attach the 

other ends of each cable to the battery terminals, Red to positive and Black to negative. Next, tighten 
the wing nuts on the battery terminals. Ground the inverter by attaching a #12-14 AWG wire from the 
inverter ground terminal to a cold water pipe using a grounding clamp. 
 

Dual Battery Case (Optional):

 Highly Recommended 

– For Maximum Protection You 

may use a second battery with the BCC Dual Battery Case kit (sold separately). Using 
the 2 foot long cables supplied with the kit, connect from one battery to the other using 
the Red cable to each positive (+) battery terminal and the Black cable to each 
negative (-) battery terminal. See the wiring schematic on page 3. 
 

Pump & Float / Inverter Connections:

 

The float is supplied with a “piggyback” type plug. The sump 

pump is to be plugged into the piggyback plug of the float and together both are plugged into ONE of the 
inverter outlets. 
 

Charger On:

 Plug the charger into 110-120V GFCI protected wall outlet. A heavy gauge extension cord 

maybe used if necessary. The charger is now charging and/or monitoring the battery / batteries.

Start-Up And Operation Instructions 

 

1. Start Up Procedure: 

Locate the red toggle switch on the side of inverter and switch to the on position. 

 

Testing:

 Fill the sump with water from a hose if needed to test for proper installation: 

  Confirm that the float switch is in the correct position, if not loosen the clamp slightly and rotate on 

the pipe if needed. Also confirm that the height correctly set. Adjust float and re-tighten securely. 

  Confirm that all joint connections are secure and not leaking. Correct as necessary. 

  The water alarm sensor may have to be repositioned to prevent nuisance alarming from incoming 

water or spray from the vent hole. 

  After making any adjustments to the float, pipe, and/or alarm sensor, repeat all start-up Testing 

above if necessary. 

 

Battery charging:

 

A new battery, or one that’s discharged, may take 24-48 hours to fully charge. 

 

DON’T FORGET TO PLUG YOUR PRIMARY PUMP BACK IN WHEN YOU ARE FINISHED!!
