Installation Tips

Most Common New Installation Errors to Avoid:

Panels equipped with the redundant off option:

• Redundant off float not connected
• Pump will not run in automatic mode on a standard panel. It will however, run in hand mode
• If the float is not available, secure jumper wire in place of the redundant off float

Panels equipped with thermal cutout connection:

• Pump does not run in Hand or Automatic mode
• Verify thermal cutout is connected

To test panel operation:

• Disconnect voltage; Tag and remove the thermal cutout wires
• Use a jumper wire (on panel terminal block) in place of the thermal cutout wires
• Reconnect voltage. If pump runs in hand mode, thermal cutout connection is incorrect or possible defective thermal switch in pump

Installation Tips to Assist in New Installation:

Incoming power:

• Correct incoming voltage: Example—208V or 240V or 480V
• Control Alarm voltage: L2——N
• Alarm-Control-Neutral
• For code some places require two 120V lines to come in and share neutral, otherwise bring in the hot lead to a L1 and neutral to N and jumper L1 and L1 together.

Floats: Have to be in correct order and on correct terminal block position

Make sure:

• Breakers ON; Overload ON; Motor protective switch ON

Three Phase panels:

• Make sure the transformer is hooked up to the correct incoming voltage

Seal Fail Thermal Cutout:

• Hooked up to correct terminal block connections
• Seal fail=infinite ohms open
• Thermal cutout=0 ohms closed
