EZ Boost

TM

 

System

5.  Technical data
5.1  Operating conditions

Supply voltage: 

1 x 200-240 V –10%/+6%, 60 Hz 

 

1 x 110-115 V –10%/+6%, 60 Hz

Fluid temperature: 

Max. 95°F (35°C)

Starting current: 

The motor starting current is 

 

equal to the highest value stated 

 

on the EZ Boost BMQE nameplate.

Power factor: 

PF = 1.0

Motor cable: 

• 2-wire w/ground, 12 AWG Teflon

 

• B: Black (Line, Neutral).

 

• G: Green (Ground).

EZ Boost BMQE inlet/ 
discharge size:  

1.25” NPT inlet / 1” NPT discharge.

EZ Boost BMQE 
maximum net weights:  31 lbs. (14.1 kg)

5.2.  Storage

EZ Boost BMQE 
storage temperature:  +32°F to +140°F (0°C to +60°C). 
EZ Boost controller 
storage temperature:  -22°F to +140°F (-30°C to +60°C).

5.3.  Frost protection

If the BMQE has to be stored after use, it must be stored in 
a frost-free location or it must be ensured that the motor 
liquid  is  frost-proof.  The  BMQE  is  shipped  from  the  fac-
tory with motor fluid that protects the motor down to -4°F 
(-20°C). The motor must not be stored without being filled 
with motor liquid. 

6. Installation
6.1.1 Electrical connection

The electrical connection should be carried out 
by an authorized electrician in accordance with 
local regulations. 

Before starting work on the EZ Boost controller 
or BMQE, make sure that the electricity supply 
has  been  switched  off  and  that  it  cannot  be 
accidentally  switched  on.  The  BMQE  must  be 
grounded. The EZ Boost controller must be con-
nected  in  accordance  with  the  local  rules  and 
regulations.

IMPORTANT:

 

The on/off button on the EZ Boost con-

troller must not be used as a safety switch when installing 
and servicing the pump.

Rain-tight  or  wet  location  hubs  that  comply  with  the 
requirements in the standard for Fittings for Conduit and 
Outlet Boxes, UL514B, are to be used. Suitable devices for 
EZ Boost controller are rated with enclosure type 3, 3R, 3S, 
4, 4X, 6 or 6P.

The  supply  voltage  and  frequency  are  marked  on  the 
nameplate.  Make  sure  that  the  EZ  Boost  controller  and 
BMQE pump are suitable for the electricity supply on which 
they will be used.

The current consumption can only be measured by means 
of  a  true  RMS  instrument.  If  other  instruments  are  used, 
the value measured will differ from the actual value.

All  EZ  Boost  BMQE  pumps  can  be  connected  to  EZ  Boost 
controllers.  Each  BMQE  pump  must  be  connected  to  its 
own EZ Boost controller.

CAUTION!

The  EZ  Boost  BMQE  must  never  be  connected 
to a capacitor or to another type of control box 
than EZ Boost controller.

The EZ Boost BMQE must never be connected to 
an external frequency converter.

Motor  protection:

  The  EZ  Boost  BMQE  incorporates 

thermal  overload  protection  and  requires  no  additional 
motor protection. 

Connection of motor: 

The EZ Boost BMQE incorporates 

a starter device and can therefore be connected directly to 
the main power supply. 

WARNING! 

Reduced  risk  of  electric  shock  during  operation 
of this EZ Boost system requires the provision of 
acceptable  grounding.  If  the  means  of  connec-
tion  to  the  supply  connected  box  is  other  than 
grounded metal conduit, ground the pump back 
to  the  service  by  connecting  a  copper  conduc-
tor, at least the size of the circuit supplying the 
pump.
