NOTE: DO NOT USE ALUMINUM WIRE .

A

ttention

: To meet full compliance with FCC Part 15 

Subpart B and CENELEC EN 55011, shielded motor 

cable should be used between the drive motor output and 

the motor . Using shielded cable provides the maximum 

filtering to reduce radiated & conductive emissions which 

can cause interference with other devices . 

CONTROLLER INSTALLATION PROCEDURE

1 .  Disconnect electrical power at the main breaker
2 .  Drain the system (if applicable)
3 .   Install pressure switch or transducer - the pressure switch 

or transducer has a 1/4 - 18 National Pipe Thread (NPT) 

connection .

4 .   Remove the controller cover by removing the lid screws . 

Attach the unit to the wall using mounting screws (not 

included) .

Wiring Connections

1 .  Verify that the power has been shut off at the main 

breaker .

2 .  Verify that the dedicated branch circuit for the controller is 

equipped with the correct rating of circuit breaker . 

3 .  Remove the controller lid .
