III. Installation

Electrical Wiring

The controller has an internal regulated power supply that will operate in the range of approximately 100 to 

240 VAC on the incoming wiring. Output relays are protected with a replaceable fuse.  Relay output voltage 

will equal the incoming line voltage. 

Prewired units are supplied with a 16 AWG cable with a 3-wire grounded USA 120 volt plug for incoming 

power and 18 AWG 3-wire grounded receptacle cords for all control relay outputs.  Conduit units are 

supplied with liquid tights and adaptors for easy hard wiring to supplied connector.

NOTE: Liquid tight fittings and some labeled signal leads are provided for signal (low voltage) 

connections, such as water meter inputs. 

WARNINGS

1.  The controller should be connected to its own isolated circuit breaker, and for best 

results,  the ground should be a true earth ground, not shared.  Wiring must be done 

according to all applicable local codes.

2.   Power (line voltage) must be disconnected while making any connections.  If power is 

supplied to the unit, line voltage will be present on the relay cards.

3.   Low voltage signal wires (probes, flow switch, water meter,  etc.) should never be run in 

conduit with high voltage wires.

Mounting Instructions

Select a mounting location that provides the operator easy access to the unit and a clear view of the 

controls through the cover of the controller. The location should be convenient to grounded electrical 

connections, the needed sample line plumbing and is on a stable vertical surface. 

WARNING: Avoid locations that expose the controller to direct sunlight, vapors, vibration, 

liquid spills or extreme temperatures; less than 0°F (-17.8°C) or greater than 120°F (50°C).  

EMI (electromagnetic interference) from radio transmissions and electric motors can also 

cause damage or interference and should be avoided.
