BBU WIRING AND SETUP
1. Connect the positive (+) charger/controller lead wire
(red) to the positive (+) battery terminal (red). Connect
the negative (–) charger/controller lead wire (black) to
the negative (–) terminal (black) on the battery. If you are
using two batteries, use the set of optional terminals and
connect the second battery. Use lead wires (not included)
to connect the positive (+) charger/controller terminal
to the positive (+) battery terminal and the negative (–)
charger/controller terminal to the negative (–) battery
terminal.
2. The backup pump leads are polarity sensitive; connect
the positive pump lead to the terminal labeled Pump ‘+’
and the negative pump lead to the terminal labeled Pump
‘–’.
NOTICE:
If the leads are reversed, the pump will run
backward and not pump water.
3. The float switch leads are not polarity sensitive; connect
the float switch leads to the ‘Float Switch’ tabs on the
charger/controller.
4. Test the float and the pump by lifting and holding the
float. The ‘Pump Status’ LED will light continuously and
the buzzer will beep steadily. The pump should start
after 3 seconds. If the pump does not run, check all the
connections and remake them as necessary.
5. To stop the pump, lower the float; after 25 seconds the
pump should stop, the ‘Pump Status’ LED should flash, and
the buzzer should beep.
6. With the pump operating, test the ‘SILENCED ALARM’
button; hold for one second; release. The ‘Silenced
Audible Alarm’ LED should illuminate and the buzzer
should stop sounding. To reset the buzzer (allow it to
sound) and extinguish the ‘Silenced Audible Alarm’ LED,
press the ‘Silence Alarm’ button again for one second.
Depress the ‘System Test’ button; hold it for one second;
release. The ‘Pump Status’ LED should stop flashing.
NOTICE:
During normal operation, the flashing ‘Pump
Status’ LED indicates that the pump has run in your
absence.
7. Press and hold ‘System Test’ button. All LEDs will light up,
pump will run and buzzer will sound. Release the button
and LEDs should go off, pump should stop, buzzer should
stop.
8. The ‘Battery Status’ LED indicates the battery capacity
when the A.C. power is off.
Continuously ON - the battery voltage is above 10.9
Volts Direct Current (10.9VDC) and capacity is above
20%.
Slow Beep/Slow LED Flash - the battery’s capacity is
between 0 and 20%.
Fast Beep/Fast LED Flash - the battery is severely
discharged. The battery will continue to charge (as
long as the 115V AC power to the charger is on) at the
rate of .5 AH until the battery’s charge is above 20%.
When the first warning occurs (slow beep/slow flash),
you will have approximately 2 hours (or less) of pump
operation left. The actual time of operation will
depend on the condition of the battery and may be as
little as 15 minutes.
9. Connect the Power Supply cable (supplied) to the Charger/
Controller’s Power Input jack.
