1.8  ELECTRICAL WIRING 
 
The GP500 plugs into a standard 115VAC outlet.  The use of a Ground Fault 
Interrupter circuit (GFI) is recommended for all installations and required for 
outdoor or wet installations.  All wiring must be performed in accordance with the 
National Fire Protection Association’s (NFPA)”National Electrical Code, Standard 
#70”-current edition for all commercial and industrial work, and state and local 
building codes. All wiring must be performed by a qualified and licensed 
electrician. 
 
1.9  SPEED CONTROLS 
 
The use of electronic speed controls on the GP500 is NOT recommended. 
 
 
2.0  INSTALLATION 
 
2.1  A.C. POWER CONNECTION 
 
The GP500 requires an 18 gauge, 3 wire SJ 
power cord, RadonAway p/n 27003 or equivalent.  
For proper seal, the cord diameter should be 
5/16".  To install: 
 
1) Prepare the power cord by stripping jacket 
and insulation as shown in Figure 2. 
 
2) Loosen sealing nut on electrical inlet by 
turning counterclockwise. 
 
3) Insert power cord and route as shown in 
Figure 3. 
 
4) Fasten power cord with cable clamp 
provided. 
                                                   
Figure 2 
5) IMPORTANT: Tighten sealing nut by turning 
clockwise.  Hand tight is adequate to provide 
seal. 
 
6) Connect wiring with wire nuts provided, 
observing proper connections:

7) Tape over wire and wire nut with 
electrical tape to seal out moisture. A 
rubber splicing tape or self-fusing silicone 
tape provide best moisture seal.
