Charger/Controller Unit Installation (continued)

Step 2 – Electrical Connections

W A R N I N G

Disconnect power from all electrical equipment housed within the sump system before working on or around the sump pump

or battery backup system beginning with the 115 VAC powered pump, level switches, and charger controllers; followed by DC

powered items. Includes all items such as pumps, level control switches, charger/controller unit, and battery system.

NOTICE

Installation of the 115 VAC electrical supply circuit to the battery charger is to be done by a certified licensed electrician in accordance

with national and local codes.

a. Verify that charger/controller unit is NOT connected to the power supply source.

b. Verify that all plumbing is complete per instructions.

c. Connect the terminals from the control switch cord to the (2) male tab terminals on the junction box marked "FLOAT SWITCH CONNECTION".

d. Connect the terminals from the backup pump cord to the (2) male tab terminals on the junction box marked "PUMP FUSE & CONNECTION", being

careful to match the correct polarity. Correct polarity is marked on the pump cord ("POS" is positive) as well as the junction box ("+" is positive;

"-" is negative).

e. Connect charger/controller unit to the (2) male tab terminals on the junction box marked "CHARGER CONNECTION" being careful to match the correct

polarity. Correct polarity is marked on the cord (red terminal is positive; black terminal is negative) as well as the junction box ("+" is positive;

"-" is negative).

f. Check polarity of battery posts. Positive (POS, P, +) battery post usually has a larger diameter than the negative (NEG, N, -) battery post. Some

batteries are equipped with wing-nut terminals allowing for easy attachment of the jumper wires to these posts.

g. Attach the ring terminal of the black jumper wire to the negative battery post. Attach the quick connect terminal of the black jumper wire to the

negative ("-") male tab on the junction box marked "BATTERY CONNECTION".

h. Attach the ring terminal of the red jumper wire to the positive battery post. Attach the quick connect terminal of the red jumper wire to the positive

("+") male tab on the junction box marked "BATTERY CONNECTION".

i. Do not connect this charger/controller unit to the same circuit as is used for the primary pump. The AC outlet used for the charger/controller unit

requires separate 0.2A, 115 VAC circuit.

j. Verify that all wiring is per instructions. Once all plumbing and electrical connections are complete and verified, plug the charger/controller unit into

a 115 VAC electrical outlet.

k. Review Charger/Controller Operation section.

l. Perform testing per the Sump System Operation Testing section.
