CAUTION
The pump must be permanently connected to a
dedicated electrical circuit. No other equipment,
lights, appliances, or outlets may be connected to the
pump circuit, with the exception of devices that may
be required to operate simultaneously with the pump,
such as a chlorinating device or heater.
3.2.3 Electrical wiring
1. The pump motor must be securely and adequately
grounded using the green screw provided. Ground
before attempting to connect to an electrical power
supply. Do not ground to a gas supply line.
2. Wire size must be adequate to minimize voltage
drop during the start-up and operation of the
pump. See Table 2 for suggested wire sizes.
3. Insulate all connections carefully to prevent
grounding or short-circuits. Sharp edges on
terminals require extra protection. For safety,
and to prevent entry of contaminants, reinstall all
conduit and terminal box covers. Do not force
connections into the conduit box.
4. Note the LED on the top of the electronics drive
enclosure. The LED is lit whenever power is
present at the motor, regardless of whether the
motor is running or not.
NOTE
Since the pump is operated by either a variable
speed controller (JEP-R), an AquaLink
®
RS
controller, or an AquaLink Pool Digital Assistant
(PDA), the pump will not be turned on until it is
turned on with one of these controllers.
3.2 Electrical Installation
3.2.1 Voltage Checks
The correct voltage, as specified on the pump data
plate and the specification chart on page 25, is necessary
for proper performance and long motor life. Incorrect
voltage will decrease the pump’s ability to perform and
could cause overheating, reduce the motor life, and
result in higher electric bills.
It is the responsibility of the electrical installer to
provide data plate operating voltage to the pump by
ensuring proper circuit sizes and wire sizes for this
specific application.
The National Electrical Code (NEC, NFPA-70)
requires all pool pump circuits be protected with a
Ground Fault Interrupter (GFCI). Therefore, it is also
the responsibility of the electrical installer to ensure that
the pump circuit is in compliance with this and all other
applicable requirements of the National Electrical Code
(NEC) and any other applicable installation codes.
CAUTION
Failure to provide data plate voltage (within 10%)
during operation will cause the motor to overheat
and void the warranty.
3.2.2 Bonding and Grounding
1. The motor frame must be bonded to a reliable
grounding point using a solid copper conductor,
No. 8 AWG or larger. If the pump is installed
within five (5) feet (15 cm) of the inside walls
of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub, the motor
frame must be bonded to all metal parts of the
swimming pool, spa, or hot tub structure and to
all electrical equipment, metal conduit, and metal
piping within five (5) feet (15 cm) of the inside
walls of the swimming pool, spa, or hot tub.
NOTE
In Canada, the pump must be located a
minimum of three (3) meters (approximately 10
feet) from the water (CSA C22.1).
2. Bond the motor using the provided external lug.
See Figure 3.
wARNING
Always disconnect the power source before working
on a motor or its connected load.
wARNING
Make sure that the control switch, time clock, or
control system is installed in an accessible location,
so that in the event of an equipment failure or a
loose plumbing fitting, the equipment can be turned
off. This location must not be in the same area as the
pool pump, filter, and other equipment.
