to touch each other.
Hazardous Voltage. Can cause severe or
fatal electrical shock. Do not plug in or unplug battery
charger while standing on a wet floor or in water. Be sure
one hand is free when plugging in or unplugging charger.
If basement floor is wet, disconnect power to basement
before walking on floor.
Risk of flooding. Do not run pump dry. To
do so will damage seals and can cause leaking and
property damage.
Follow local and/or national plumbing and electrical
codes when installing the system. A ground fault circuit
interrupter (GFCI) is recommended for use on any
electrical appliance submerged in water.
Use this system only for backup sump pump duty in a
residential application. It is not designed as a primary
sump pump.
Do not lift pump by electrical cord.
Risk of electrical shock. Do not lift the
pump by the electrical cord; lift pump only by the
discharge pipe, lifting ring or handle on the pump. Lifting
by the cord can damage the cord.
Pump clear water only with this pump.
Pump is permanently lubricated at the factory. Do not try
to lubricate it!
Keep battery charger and battery box off of the floor and
in a dry, cool, well ventilated area.
NOTICE: If a Carbon Monoxide (CO) sensor is installed,
it must be at least 15 feet away from battery charger in
order to avoid nuisance CO alarms. Please refer to your
CO detector’s installation guidelines for more information.
To avoid danger of fire or explosion, keep sparks and
flame (pilot light) away from battery.
Maximum vertical pumping distance is 15 feet (4.6M) for
Model MBSP-3.
Make sure sump is clear of debris. Debris can damage the
pump which can result in flooding.
GENERAL INFORMATION
The battery backup sump system is not a substitute for
your primary sump pump. It is designed to temporarily
backup your primary sump pump during a power outage
or other problem which prevents normal operation of the
primary pump. Do not use this system to pump flammable
liquids or chemicals. Pump clear water only with this
pump.
Keep the battery charger dry and protected from
damage.
This system is designed to work with a deep cycle sealed
maintenance free lead-acid AGM battery. It will also
work with a flooded lead acid battery. Gell and Sealed
flooded lead acid batteries are not recommended. In
an emergency (such as an extended power outage)
which depletes the system deep cycle battery, your
automobile battery may be temporarily substituted. Be
sure to replace the system deep cycle battery as soon
as possible. Use of an automobile battery instead of a
deep cycle battery in this system will significantly reduce
the system’s total performance. Automobile batteries
are not designed for this type of application and will be
quickly ruined by the repeated charge/discharge cycling.
NOTICE: This system is not designed for applications
involving salt water, brine, or where fish may be present!

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: Study pages 4-6 to determine which installation
method will be best for you. The “Separate Discharge”
(Figure 2, Page 4), 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 “Common Discharge” (Figure 3,
Page 4) option.
NOTICE: For ALL installations, once the installation is
complete, 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
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Unplug the pump and 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. : Reset the circuit breaker
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.

NOTICE: If debris or gravel is present in the bottom of
the sump pit that could get sucked up into the pump, set
both the primary sump pump and the BBU up on bricks or
cinder blocks to prevent clogging.
3. If the sump is too small to allow both pumps to sit on
the bottom of the sump, install an angle bracket on the
primary sump pump’s discharge pipe with stainless
steel hose clamps. Mount the backup pump on the angle
bracket. See Figure 1, “Separate Discharge”.
4. Cut a piece of 1-1/2” PVC pipe to reach from the backup

and the pump will not work.
7. Cut a short length of 1-1/2” PVC pipe for a riser pipe and
clamp it into the top of the check valve.
8. Install a U74-68 Hose and Clamp Assembly on the top
of the riser pipe. For 1-1/2” pipe, remove and discard
the short piece of 1-1/4” hose in the Hose and Clamp
Assembly. Leave the hose clamps loose and slide the
Assembly down below the top of the riser pipe.
9. Determine where you want the discharge to exit the
basement. At that point, drill the necessary holes (large
enough to have clearance for a 1-1/2” pipe) to allow you
to run the discharge pipe from above the sump to the
outdoors.
10. Install the horizontal discharge pipe. Install a 90° elbow
on the inside end but do not glue.
11. Cut another short piece of 1-1/2” PVC for the Upper
Discharge Pipe to run from the top of the riser pipe up
to the 90° elbow. Be sure to allow enough overlap for the
glue joint in the elbow.

11. Install a 45° elbow on the 1-1/2” BATTERY BACKUP
discharge pipe.
NOTICE: You may need to insert a piece of straight pipe
between the elbow and the wye. If so, use a standard 45°
elbow. If you do not need to insert a piece of straight pipe
between the elbow and the wye (elbow goes directly into
the wye), use a 45° slip street ell.
12. Fit the upper discharge pipe to the upper end of the wye.
NOTICE: It is good practice to cut a short length of
pipe to go into the wye and install a union on the pipe.
Continue the discharge pipe from the outlet side of the
union. This will allow easier removal of the system for
cleaning or service. A U74-68 Hose and Clamp Assembly
can be used for this.

Battery Requirements 7
BATTERY REQUIREMENTS
Hazardous electric current. Can cause
severe burns and start a fire if the battery terminals are
short circuited. Install the battery in the battery case. To
prevent accidental shorting across battery terminals,
close and latch the battery case securely. Do not leave
the battery uncovered.
Do not allow children to play around the battery
backup system installation.
The performance of your backup sump pump depends
on the battery used with it for power. We recommend
using our BAT40 or BAT75. You can also use a group 24M
or 27M Deep Cycle battery. They will provide acceptable
performance and will stand up well to long periods of
little or no use.
This system is designed to work with either a sealed
lead-acid AGM battery or a flooded lead-acid battery.
Use of a true Gell Cell (often confused for AGM) or a
standard automotive battery with this charger is not
recommended. An automotive battery may require
charging after only 1-2 hours of continuous use, and the
repeated charging cycles may cause early plate failure in
the battery.
Use only lead-acid batteries. This unit is not designed to
use with Li-Ion, NiMh, NiCAD, Liquid Polymer, etc.
Use only the recommended battery or one of the same
type and size so it will fit in the battery box (maximum
size: 13” long x 7” wide x 10” tall (330.2mm x 177.8mm x
254mm) including terminals) and supply enough voltage
for full performance.
BATTERY MAINTENANCE
Severe burn hazard. An acid-filled standard
lead-acid battery contains sulfuric acid. Avoid contact with
skin, eyes or clothing.
NOTICE: To protect the battery case from chipping and
gouging, do not let the battery sit on a concrete floor.
Install the battery on a shelf or protective pad (plywood,
2x4s, etc.). Always install the battery in a dry location that
is protected from flooding.
Pre-Qualification Test – 1 and 2
Charger is charging at a very low level to try to bring a
dead battery back to life. If the battery is taking too long,
try resetting the charger once or twice (push the ‘SYSTEM
TEST’ and ‘SILENCE ALARM’ buttons together to reset the
charger).
Special Features:
The charger is equipped with reverse battery, short
circuit, and “runaway charge” protection.
Possible Problems and Remedies
1. Wrong Battery Voltage
Reconnect charger to a 12 volt battery.
2. Reversed Battery Connections
Check all connections. The negative (black) on the
battery must connect to the negative (black) on
the charger, and the positive (red) on the battery
must connect to the positive (red) on the charger.
Reversing the battery connections will cause the
‘SYSTEM ALERT’ and ‘SILENCED AUDIBLE ALARM’
LEDs to flash.
3. Thermal Runaway Condition
“Thermal Runaway” is the technical term for the
condition of the battery when some (or all) of the
cells have deteriorated to the point that they won’t
take a charge. In this case, replace the battery.
4. Charge Time Monitor – 1 and 2
Battery took too long to complete its charge. The
“Charge Time Monitor” will shut down the charger
after 84 hours of continuous charging.
Possible causes are:
A) Pump ran for a long period of time during
charging, or
B) Battery is too large for the charger (including
several batteries connected in a parallel circuit).
Excessive Battery Drain
Pump may have run for a very long time, discharging the
battery. In this case:
1. If 115VAC power is OFF, the charger shuts down until
the power comes back on, but the pump will run as
long as the battery charge lasts. You may need to
replace the battery afterwards.
2. If 115VAC power is ON, the charger/controller
continues to try to charge the battery at a charging
rate of .5 AH until the battery charge is more than
20%, at which point the charger will resume charging
at a rate of 2 AH.
3. If the pump is running and the AC power is on, you
may need to stop the pump to allow the battery to
charge.
Follow the battery manufacturer’s recommendations for
maintenance and safe use of the battery.

Wiring •Setup 8
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 ‘ALARM
SILENCED’ LED should illuminate and the buzzer
should stop sounding. To reset the buzzer (allow it to
sound) and extinguish the ‘ALARM 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.

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.
4. Connect the Power Supply cable (supplied) to the
Charger/Controller’s Power Input jack.

Tension dangereuse. Peut causer des chocs
électriques graves, voire mortels. Ne pas brancher ou débrancher le
chargeur de batterie lorsque vous vous tenez sur une surface mouillée
ou inondée. S’assurer qu’une main demeure libre au moment de
brancher ou de débrancher le chargeur. Si le plancher du sous-sol est
mouillé, couper l’alimentation électrique vers le sous-sol avant de
marcher sur le plancher.
Risque d’inondation. Ne pas faire fonctionner la
pompe à sec. Ce faisait, les joints de la pompe seront endommagés,
créant potentiellement une fuite et des dommages à la propriété.
Suivre les consignes des codes de plomberie et d’électricité locaux et
nationaux au moment d’installer le système. Il est recommandé d’utiliser
un disjoncteur de fuite de terre (GFCI) avec tout appareil électrique
submergé dans l’eau.
N’utiliser ce système que comme pompe de puisard de secours dans un
milieu résidentiel. Il n’a pas été conçu pour servir de pompe de puisard
principale.
Ne pas soulever la pompe à partir de son cordon électrique.
Risque de choc électrique. Ne pas soulever la pompe
par son cordon électrique; plutôt, la soulever par le tuyau de décharge,
l’anneau de levage ou la poignée qui se trouve dessus. Le cordon
pourrait être endommagé s’il est utilisé pour soulever la pompe.
Ne pomper que de l’eau propre avec cette pompe.
La pompe a été lubrifiée de manière permanente en usine. Ne pas
essayer de la lubrifier!
Garder le chargeur de batterie et le boîtier de batterie en hauteur, dans
un endroit sec, frais et bien aéré.
AVIS : si un détecteur de monoxyde de carbone (CO) est installé, il
doit se trouver à au moins 4,6 m (15 pi) du chargeur de batterie, ce afin
d’éviter l’occurrence de fausses alarmes. Se reporter aux directives
d’installation du détecteur de CO pour en apprendre davantage.
Pour éviter les risques d’incendie ou d’explosion, assurer que les
sources d’étincelles ou de flammes (pilote) se trouvent à l’écart de la
batterie.
La distance de pompage verticale maximale de la pompe est de 4,3 m
(14 pi), dans le cas du modèle MBSP-3.
S’assurer qu’il n’y a pas de débris encombrant la pompe de puisard. Les
débris peuvent endommager la pompe et ainsi entraîner une inondation.
RENSEIGNEMENTS GÉNÉRAUX
La pompe de puisard à batterie de secours ne peut pas se substituer à
votre pompe de puisard principale. Elle a été conçue pour agir en tant
que support pour votre pompe principale en cas de panne d’électricité
ou de tout autre problème nuisant au fonctionnement normal de la
pompe primaire. Ne pas utiliser ce système pour pomper des liquides
inflammables ou des produits chimiques. Ne pomper que de l’eau propre
avec cette pompe.
Assurer que le chargeur de batterie demeure au sec et bien protégé
contre tout dommage.
Ce système a été conçu pour fonctionner avec une batterie AGM
(plomb-gel et feutre) scellée et sans entretien. Il peut aussi fonctionner
avec une batterie plomb-acide à électrolyte liquide à décharge
poussée. Les batteries à électrolyte gélifié et scellées plomb-acide
à électrolyte liquide ne sont pas recommandées. En cas d’urgence
(comme une panne de courant prolongée), si la batterie à décharge
poussée est complètement déchargée, il est possible d’utiliser une
batterie automobile à la place. Prendre soins de remettre la batterie
à décharge poussée en place aussi rapidement que possible. Utiliser
une batterie automobile à la place d’une batterie à décharge poussée
réduira significativement la performance totale du système. Les batteries
automobiles ne sont pas conçues pour ce type d’application; elles seront
rapidement rendues inutiles par les cycles répétés de charge/décharge.
AVIS: ce système n’a pas été conçu pour les applications impliquant
l’eau salée, la saumure ou la présence de poissons; l’utiliser dans ces
conditions entraînera l’annulation de la garantie!.

INSTALLATION ET FONCTIONNEMENT
AVIS :
• Installer ce système à un moment où il n’est pas nécessaire de
faire fonctionner la pompe principale. Rassembler tout le matériel
nécessaire avant de commencer. Lire tous les avertissements et
les étapes d’installation avant de commencer.
• Prendre en considération que l’eau pourrait couler des raccords
ou de la tuyauterie lors du démontage ou de la coupe du tuyau de
décharge. Protéger les composantes du système, les outils et le
matériel pour ne pas les mouiller. Sécher la surface de travail à
mesure qu’elle elle mouillée.
AVIS : lire attentivement les pages 4 à 6 pour déterminer la méthode
d’installation la plus appropriée. L’installation de type « décharge

Risque de blessure et d’inondation. Ne pas mettre la
pompe en marche tant que tous les raccords n’ont pas été collés et que
la colle n’a pas eu le temps de sécher. Les raccords lâches peuvent
exploser et causer des blessures ou une inondation.
Risque de choc électrique. Sur le panneau électrique ou
la boîte de fusibles, couper l’alimentation électrique se rendant vers la
pompe de puisard avant de commencer l’installation.
Mise en place
1. Déterminer le niveau d’eau élevé dans le puits de puisard (le niveau
d’eau auquel la pompe de puisard en place (principale) se met en
marche - se reporter à la figure 1). Couper l’alimentation vers la
pompe et indiquer ce niveau sur le tuyau de décharge à l’aide d’un
crayon ou d’un marqueur.
2. Vider le puits de puisard aussi profondément que possible sans
que la pompe se mette à fonctionner à vide. Pour ce faire :
A. INTERRUPTEUR DE SORTIE CONJOINTE : débrancher
la pompe et l’interrupteur de la prise puis débrancher la
pompe de l’interrupteur de sortie conjointe. Réinitialiser le
disjoncteur de circuit ou remettre le fusible en place puis
brancher la pompe directement dans la prise. La pompe va
démarrer. Vidanger le puits et débrancher la pompe. OU
B. SANS INTERRUPTEUR DE SORTIE CONJOINTE : réinitialiser
le disjoncteur de circuit ou remettre le fusible en place et
se servir d’un manche à balai ou d’un bâton pour soulever
l’interrupteur à flotteur, ce qui devrait faire fonctionner la
pompe. Vidanger le puits puis relâcher l’interrupteur.
3. Une fois le puits vidangé, couper (ouvrir) le disjoncteur de circuit
ou enlever le fusible à nouveau pour éviter tout choc électrique
pendant l’installation.
