WARNING: Do not attempt to
wire this control box unless you
have a good working knowledge
of electricity and are familiar
with the state and local codes. If
you are in doubt about anything,
contact a qualified electrician.

Do not attempt to operate this unit
on any other voltage or power
distribution other than for which it
was originally designed (check
nameplate).

Failure to comply

with this will result in the
immediate cancellation of all
warranties and claims.

It is advisable to put the panel on
its own circuit using a circuit
breaker adequately sized to
protect the pump(s). Check state
and local codes for the correct
wire size and circuit protection to
use. The wire should be sized
large enough to handle the full
load current of the pump(s) you
are operating, and any voltage
drop that might occur due to long
service runs.

Run power supply lines to the
control box and secure (knockouts
are not supplied in this box).
Select a convenient location on
the bottom to enter the box with
the power supply. Cut a hole with
a chassis punch. Caution should
be taken not to get metal chips in
the components while cutting
hole. After the hole is cut, any
metal particles must be removed
from the box. Failure to do so may
result in premature component
failure.

Connect incoming power to the
terminal blocks labeled L

, L

and all necessary ground wires to
the ground lug at the bottom of the
box. The ground lug should be
fastened to a good driven earth
ground by one of the methods
described in the National Electric
Code. NEC does not permit using
ground as a current carrying
conductor, therefore a neutral
must be provided for 115 volt 1
phase, 208 volt 1 phase, 230 volt
1 phase, or 208 volt 3 phase
systems.

WARNING: Before handling
these pumps and controls,

General
Information

always disconnect the power
first. Do not smoke or use
sparkable electrical devices or
flames in a septic (gaseous) or
possible septic sump.

Electrical Connections:

The contractor must conform to
the latest requirements of the
National Electrical Code. All
conduit and ca

bles shall be in

accordance with NEC Code
NFPA #70. To maintain UL and
CSA ENCL rating, use the same
type UL and CSA weatherproof
con duit hubs when connecting to
this en clo sure. Prior to conducting
any in stal la tion, repair or service
with re gard to the control panel,
refer to the schematic appropriate
for that panel. The schematic will
provide guidance with regard to
the terminal block con nec tions.

CAUTION: A nonmetallic
enclosure does not provide
grounding conduit con nec tions.
Use grounding bush

ing and

jumper wires.

Make the Following Electrical
Con nec tions:

Connect the pump leads to
the control panel.

If pump is

single phase and the panel
has start ca pac i tor, start relay
and run ca pac i tor, it is critical
that the pump leads be
connected

prop er ly.

The

White, Black, and Red pump
leads must be connected to
the

ap pro pri ate

terminals
