The Compressor is to be wired in a manner that 
the rotation of the Pumps Flywheel causes the air 
to be blown from the Beltguard forward over the 
Pump. This, coupled with the unobstructed area 
behind the Beltguard of 18” (0.5 m) minimum, 
allows the Pump to cool properly.  

Ensure that the voltage on your site is reflected on the 
Motor nameplate, +/- 10%. In the case of 208 volts 3 
phase electrics, the Unit must be 200 volt 

 

Use of an incorrect Motor for your particular 
building service will result in premature Motor 
failure, something not covered by the DV 
Systems or Motor manufacturers Warranty.  

The Warranty that exists on the Electric Motor is that of 
the original Motor manufacturer. In the event of a Motor 
failure, contact your DV Systems Distributor or Service 
Centre for the location of the nearest authorized Motor 
Service Centre. 

Why Hire a Licensed Electrician? 

 
To ensure that your new DV Systems Unit works as 
designed and required, you must ensure that it is 
correctly wired to your building service. It is the 
responsibility of your Licensed Electrician to ensure 
that: 
 

  The Unit you purchased is suitable for your 

particular buildings electrical service. 

  Protective devices such as Magnetic Starters, 

Fused Disconnects, etc have been sized and 
installed correctly. 

  Any electrical accessories purchased with your 

Compressor have been installed and wired 
correctly. 

  The wiring of the Unit meets with all applicable 

codes and regulations. 

  When completed, the Unit works in both a safe 

and correct manner. 

 
Failure of the Compressor Unit due to an incorrect 
electrical installation is not covered by the 
manufacturer’s warranty. 

When facing the Compressor 
(as shown at right), the 
Flywheel must rotate in a 
clockwise direction.
