PumpSpy BU-1500 Installation And Service Manual Download Page 4

 INSTALLATION

1.  Mount the power unit on the wall at least 36 inches off the floor and within 3 feet of a 120 VAC electrical 

outlet. Secure to the wall studs or anchor securely to a block wall. Make sure to keep all sides of the 

power unit clear of obstructions by at least 12“. DO NOT PLUG THE POWER UNIT INTO THE 120VAC 

OUTLET AT THIS TIME.

2.  Connect the BLACK battery lead to the BLACK terminal on the power unit. Tighten the terminal retention 

knob securely by hand. Do not use any tools to tighten as this may break the retention knob.

3.  Connect the RED battery lead to the RED terminal on the power unit. Tighten the terminal retention 

knob securely by hand. Do not use any tools to tighten the terminal retention knob as this may break the 

retention knob.

4.  Connect the BLACK battery lead to the BLACK terminal on your 12 VDC Deep Cycle Battery. Secure the 

connection per the battery manufacturer’s recommendation.

5.  Connect the RED battery lead to the RED terminal on your 12 VDC Deep Cycle Battery. Secure the 

connection per the battery manufacturer’s recommendation.

6.  Plug the power unit into the 120 VAC outlet. 

7.  Confirm that the Charger Switch and Power Switch are in the “OFF” Position. Plug your sump pump into 

either of the two 120 VAC Output Power Outlets. 

8.  Turn on both the Charger Switch and the Power Switch. The Power Indicator LED should be green. Your 

charging indicator LED will be red if your battery is charging or green if fully charged. The charging LED 

may blink green/red when the battery is close to full capacity.  Your system is now properly set up.

 TEST

To verify that your system is setup properly to operate in the event of a power failure:

1.  Unplug the Power Unit from the 120VAC Outlet.

2.  Lift the float switch on your sump pump. The pump should operate normally. The Power Unit is now con-

verting the 12VDC from your battery into a pure sine wave 120 VAC output to your pump.

3.  Plug your Power Unit back into your home’s 120 VAC Outlet. 

 

 

    Always disconnect the power unit from power sources before handling. This guide is designed 

to help identify reasons for potential operating problems. It is not a service guide. Dismantling of the power 

unit voids warranty. Servicing of power unit should be referred to the factory or its authorized service centers.
