INSTALLATION
Connect the pump power cable to the control box
as shown in the wiring diagrams in the control box
manual. Use conduit or cable clamps to secure the
power cable to the control box. Make certain that
all connections are tight and that cable entry points
are rainproof.
NOTE
The power cable furnished with the pump includes
three electrical conductors (white, red, and black),
two grounding conductors (green) and one ground
check conductor (yellow)
.
The yellow ground
check lead is used in conjunction with customer‐
supplied ground monitoring equipment. If this
equipment is not used, the yellow lead should be
used as a ground conductor.
Control Box Specifications
Any control box used to operate the
pump must be approved by the Gor
man‐Rupp Company for the application.
Motor Cable Grounding Test
Do not connect the pump control cable
to the control box or incoming voltage
before verifying the pump ground;
otherwise, personnel will be exposed to
serious injury or death.
Using a volt‐ohm meter, connect one lead to the
motor cable green/yellow ground lead. Connect
the other lead to an
uninsulated
point on the pump
body. The test circuit should close.
If the test circuit does not close, there is a defect in
the cable or motor which must be corrected.
Control Box Connections
This pump is shipped completely wired for the volt
age shown on the name plate, and is ready for op
eration through an approved control box.
Ground and wire the control box in accordance
with the instructions accompanying it.
NOTE
For reference, internal motor wiring connections
are shown in

Liquid Level Devices
The standard pump is
not
furnished with a means
to automatically regulate liquid level. However, the
pump may be controlled to perform filling or dewa
tering functions by using
either
of the following op
tional sensing devices (see Figure B-4):
Diaphragm Type:
two fixed‐position sen
sors (upper and lower) each contain a dia
phragm which flexes with changes in liquid
level, thus activating an enclosed miniature
switch.
Bulb (Float) Type:
a bulb raises or lowers
(floats) with the liquid level, thus activating
an enclosed miniature switch.
The liquid level circuitry may be prewired as a fac
tory option, or easily added to the standard control
box in the field by qualified personnel. The unit is
complete except for the remote float switches. For
installation and operation, see the detailed instruc
tions included with the optional package.
Liquid level devices
must
be positioned far
enough apart to allow 10 minutes between
starts. If the pump motor cycles more than
6 starts per hour, it will over‐heat, resulting
in damage to the motor windings or control
box components.
Other types of liquid level devices may also be
used. Consult the factory for the liquid level device
best suited for your application.
If the pump requires liquid level devices,
install the liquid level devices and connect
them to the control box in accordance with
the instructions accompanying the de
vices.
