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.
A. Continuously ON - the battery voltage is above
10.9 Volts Direct Current (10.9VDC) and
capacity is above 20%.
B. Slow Beep/Slow LED Flash - the battery's
capacity is between 0 and 20%.
C. 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.
