under normal operating conditions. An air space 

above the oil level in both the seal and motor 

chambers is provided to allow for the expansion of 

the oil when at operating temperature.  The power 

and control lines are sealed and strain relieved on 

the outside entrance with a standard cord grip, and 

internally through the use of a dielectric potting resin 

surrounding the electrical wires.

Internal connection wiring diagrams are shown in 

Figure 8.  All of the pump fasteners and shafts are 

made from corrosion resistant stainless steel, while 

the pump castings are made of ASTM A-48 Class 

30 cast iron, and the multivane vortex impellers are 

made from Class 20 cast iron.

General Installation:

  Various configurations and 

methods of plumbing this series of sump pumps may 

be used.

Note:

  If the SX50/SX50H hazardous location 

pumps are used in conjunction with a rail lift-out 

system, it must be a UL or CSA listed nonsparking 

system for hazardous locations.

IMPORTANT:  If the following guidelines are

not followed, the CSA hazardous location listing 

is void.

These pumps are to be used for handling septic tank 

effluent, sewage, and storm water only.  

Do not

 use 

in other hazardous locations.  These motors must 

be repaired and serviced only at a Myers authorized 

service center or at the Myers factory.  Any 

unauthorized field repair voids warranty and the 

hazardous location rating.

CAUTION:  After the pump is installed and 

sewage has entered the basin there is Danger.  

Sewage water gives off methane and hydrogen 

sulfide gases, which are poisonous.  Never 

enter a wet well unless the cover is open for a 

sufficient period of time to allow fresh air into 

the basin.  It is recommended that a man in 

the basin have a harness on with a rope to the 

surface, so that he can be pulled out in case of 

asphyxiation.  It is for this reason that Myers 

recommends using the rail lift-out system so that 

no service is required inside the basin.

Motor:

  Each motor is provided with heat sensor 

thermostats attached directly to the motor windings.  

The thermostats open if the motor windings see 

excessive heat and, in turn, open the motor 

contactor in the control panel, breaking the power 

to the pump.  When the motor is stopped due to an 

overheat condition, it will not start until the motor has 

cooled and the heat sensor reset button is manually 

pushed on the front of the Myers control panel.  

This circuitry is provided in the Myers control panel 

designs.

The SX50/SX50H pumps are equipped with 

internal thermostats.  The SX50/SX50H models 

are designed to meet Class B heat rise of 266°F 

(130°C).

Note:

  Failure to use proper circuitry and to connect 

the motor overheat protection in the control panel 

would negate all warranties and CSA Listings.

Motor Seal Failure Warning:

  The seal chamber is 

oil filled and provided with moisture sensing probes 

to detect water leakage through the lower shaft seal.  

The probes can also detect moisture present in the 

upper motor housing.

The presence of water energizes a red seal leak 

warning light at the control panel.  This is a warning 

light only, and does not stop the motor.  It indicates 

a leak has occurred and the pump must be repaired.  

Normally, this indicates the outboard seal has 

leaked.  Allowing the unit to operate too long after 

the warning could cause upper seal leakage along 

with motor failure.

The resistance across the moisture sensing (seal 

failure) probes should be checked after a seal 

leak warning light has lit.  This can be done by 

disconnecting the red and orange control wires from 

the control panel, and measuring the resistance with 

an ohmmeter between the wires.  The SX50/SX50H 

reading should be above 30,000 ohms.  If the

measured values are below those indicated above, 

the pump may have a lower seal failure and

require service.

On the Myers control panels the seal leak test switch 

tests the seal leak circuit continuity.  When pushed 

the seal leak test bulb should light.  If the test bulb 

does not light it means either the wiring circuitry to 

the seal leak probes have been broken or the bulb 

has burned out.

Note:

  Myers built control panels supply the correct 

circuitry for moisture and heat sensor connections.  

Failure to install the correct circuitry with proper 

connection would negate warranty and CSA Listing.  

See Figure 7.

Motor Power Cord, Control Cord and Cord 

Cap Assembly:

  Each motor power cord has 4 

conductors – white, black, red and green.  For a 

single phase motor the black is connected to the 

common lead, the white is connected to the main 

lead, while the red is connected to the start circuitry, 

and the green is attached to a good ground.  The
