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.
