Simer A5500 - Installation Procedure; Wiring Diagram and Connections; Interpreting Charger LED Indicators; Testing the Backup System

Installation 8
1. Connect charger as shown in Table I and Figure 8.
2. Plug the charger into a 115 Volt AC outlet delivering
at least 15 amps. Do not use a switch controlled
outlet. Mark the circuit in the main power panel
“Backup sump pump power supply; do not turn off”.
3. With the charger properly connected and plugged in,
the panel on the front of the charger will show one of
the following conditions (See Figure 9).
Red “AC Power On” LED - AC power is present
Yellow (bicolor) LED on continuously - Prequalification test is
complete and charging is in process.
Yellow “Charging” LED flashing on and off quickly. -
Equalization charge stage.
Green (bicolor) LED is on - Battery is being maintained at full
charge.
Bicolor LED flashing yellow/green alternatively - See Error
Charge Table (Table II).
* The bicolor LED must also be flashing Yellow/Green alternatively.
Test the Assembly:
1. Plug the primary pump into a properly grounded
3-prong outlet.
2. Fill the sump with water to start the primary pump.
Check for leaks.
3. Unplug the primary pump and fill the sump with
water to start the backup system pump. Check for
leaks.
4. Plug the primary pump back into a properly grounded
3-prong outlet. The system is now ready for operation.
