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 system alert LED will blink while the float
is up. 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 'SILENCE ALARM'
button; hold for one second; release. The ' A LARM
SILENCED' LED should illuminate and the buzzer
should stop sounding. To reset the buzzer (allow it to
sound) and extinguish the ' A LARM SILENCED' LED,
press the 'SILENCE ALARM' button again for one
second.
Depress the 'TEST SYSTEM' button; hold it for one
second; release. The 'PUMP STATUS' LED should stop
flashing.
