excessive amp hour ratings without resetting system.
BATTERY BACKUP SYSTEM (BBU)
INSTALLATION AND OPERATION
NOTICE:
• Install this system during a time when the primary
pump will not be needed. Gather all supplies before
starting. Read all warnings and installation steps
before you start.
•
Be prepared for water to leak from the coupling or
piping when disassembling or cutting the discharge
pipe. Protect system components, tools and supplies
from getting wet. Dry any work areas that get wet.
NOTICE: Determine which installation method will
be best for you. The "Separate Discharge" (Figure 7)
installation is recommended.
NOTICE: Check your local codes and ordinances
regarding waste water disposal (especially when running
the pump discharge outside the house) before you start.
The installation must conform to all legal requirements.
If possible, install the BBU so that the discharge goes
directly outdoors (separate discharge pipe from the
primary sump pump discharge pipe). If this is not a
practical option, see the "Easy Install – Method A" option.

NOTICE: For ALL installations, once the installation is
complete, see page 12 for Link2O setup and complete
the registration and connection process. Run both the
primary sump pump and the BBU through at least one
complete cycle to make sure that everything operates
correctly.
Personal injury and flood hazard. Do not
turn the pump on until all the fittings are glued and the
glue has dried. Loose fittings can explode off of pipes
and cause personal injury and flooding.
Risk of electrical shock. At the circuit breaker
or fuse box, turn off the electrical power to the sump
pump before beginning this installation.
SETUP – COMMON DISCHARGE
1. Locate the high water level in your sump pit (the
water level at which the existing (primary) sump
pump starts - see Figure 1). Turn off power to pump
and mark this point on the discharge pipe with a
pencil or marker.
2. Drain the sump pit as far as possible without running
the pump dry. Do this by:
A. P
iggyback switch
from the outlet, then unplug the pump from the
piggyback switch. Reset the circuit breaker or
reinstall the fuse and plug the pump directly into
the outlet. The pump will start. Drain the pit and
unplug the pump. OR
b. N
o piggyback switch
or reinstall the fuse and use a non-conducting
broom handle or stick to raise the float switch;
the pump should start. Drain the pit and then
release the switch.
3. When the pit has drained, turn off (open) the circuit
breaker or remove the fuse again to avoid electrical
shock while working on the installation.
