SPD Quick Start Up Guide

Step 1: Mount drive on secure wall or support beam using 4 screws. Ensure drive is well ventilated. Leave at least 8" of free space 

around the controller for cooling. Plug conduit holes not used.

Step 2: Measure site voltage phase to phase and phase to ground; verify if the incoming voltage is single or three phase 230 or 

460 volt supply. Models SPD2XXXXF require 230V input voltage. Models SPD4XXXXF require 460V input voltage.

Step 3: Provide a dedicated fused disconnect (item #2 above) or circuit breaker rated for drives input amps. No other equipment 

should be used for this disconnect. Use fast acting class T fuses.

Step 4: Connect wire from input power supply to L1, L2, L3 and GND. NOTE: For single phase supply power, wire to L1 and L3 and 

adjust overload switches for 50% of drive current rating. Ensure you have a solid ground from the building or site. Ensure 
the ground is continuous between the service entrance and the controller. Ensure there is at least 8" between the input 
wires and any other wires.

Step 5: Ensure you have a three phase motor. Connect motor leads to T1/U, T2/V, T3/W and GND. Ensure the ground is continu-

ous between the controller and 
the motor. For CentriPro mo-
tors, connecting T1/U to Red, 
T2/V to Black and T3/W to Yel-
low will give the correct rota-
tion. To change rotation, swap 
any two motor leads T1/U, T2/V 
or T3/W. Ensure there is at least 
8" between the output wires 
and any other wires.

Step 6: Plumb pressure transducer in 

straight piece of pipe down-
stream of last check valve in 
system. Do not install the pres-
sure transducer or pressure 
tank where freezing can occur. 
If pressure transducer is placed 
in grounded metal piping, 
disconnect the drain wire in the 
pressure transducer cable from 
the controller chassis.

Step 7: Pre-charge bladder tank to 20 

psi below your system pres-
sure. Tank capacity should be 
at least 20% volume of max 
pump GPM.

Step 8: Set the Motor Overload Setting 

Switches. Choose a setting that 
is equal to or less than the mo-
tor’s SFA rating. 

Step 9: Factory pressure setting is 

50psi when used with a 300psi 
transducer. Press and hold INC or DEC button to adjust pressure while pump is running. Ensure drive goes into stand-by 
mode (solid green light/pump off) to save pressure setting.

NOTE: Do not connect power to CONTROL TERMINALS. Connect only non-powered switch contacts to these 

terminals.
