GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The Glycol Make-up unit is designed to automatically
maintain  minimum  pressure  in  closed-loop  systems.
The  GMU-30  uses  1/2  HP  pump  for  systems  requir-
ing up to 30-psi. The GMU-60 uses 3/4 HP pump and
for systems requiring up to 60-psi.  

Depending  upon  the  system  pressure  required,  a
GMU-30  or  GMU-60  is  used.  In  both  units,  a  pres-
sure switch starts and stops the pump(s).

1.1 

PURPOSE OF MANUAL

This  manual  is  furnished  to  acquaint  you  with  some
of the practical ways to install, operate, and maintain
this  unit.  Read  it  completely  before  doing  any  work
on your unit and keep it handy for future reference.

Equipment  cannot  operate  well  without  proper  care.
To keep this unit at top efficiency, follow the recom-
mended installation and servicing procedure outlined
in this manual.

1.2

SAFETY INSTRUCTION

This  safely  alert  symbol  will  be  used  in  this  manual
and on the unit safety instruction to draw attention to
safety related instructions. When used the safety alert
symbol  means  ATTENTION  BECOME  ALERT!
YOUR  SAFETY  IS  INVOLVED!  FAILURE  TO  FOL-
LOW  THIS  INSTRUCTION  MAY  RESULT  IN  A
SAFETY HAZARD.

ADDITIONAL SAFETY REQUIREMENTS

Always use accurate test meters when checking elec-
trical  components.  Always  work  with  another  person
in case of emergency.

1.3 

STORAGE

For  long  periods  of  storage,  the  unit  should  be  cov-
ered  to  prevent  corrosion  and  contamination  from
dirt.  It  should  be  STORED  in  a  clean,  dry  location
between  0  and  170°F.  The  relative  humidity  should
not exceed 85%. The unit should be checked period-
ically  to  ensure  that  no  condensation  has  formed.
After storage, again check that it is dry before apply-
ing power.

1.4 

HANDLING

Care  should  be  taken  to  prevent  damage  due  to
dropping or jolting when moving the Glycol Make-up
Unit.  Transportation  damage  should  be  brought  to
the carrier's attention immediately upon receipt.

1.5 

TEMPERATURE AND VENTILATION

All  electrical  equipment  is  susceptible  to  failure  if
operated  in  ambient  temperatures  outside  of  its  rat-
ing.  The  OPERATING  temperature  range  for  this  unit
is  32  to  105°F.  The  relative  humidity  should  not
exceed 95% non-condensing. The unit should not be
operated outside these extremes.

1.6 

ELECTRICAL  CONNECTIONS  -  A.C.  POWER  &
SIGNALS INPUT VOLTAGE

The  input  voltage  tolerance  is  +10/-10%  of  name-
plate voltage.

1.7 

GROUND CONNECTIONS

A  grounding  terminal  is  provided  for  a  dedicated
ground wire connection. All provisions of the National
Electrical Code and local codes must be followed.

1.8 

POWER WIRING

Power  wire  types  and  sizes  must  be  selected  based
upon  conformance  with  the  National  Electrical  Code
and  all  local  codes  and  restrictions.  In  addition,  only
copper (Cu) wire rated for at least 75°C may be used
for the power connections. Refer to the input current
as  listed  on  the  motor  nameplate  when  sizing  wire.
Connect  the  input  power  to  the  screw  terminals  on
the  Power  Distribution  Block  labeled  "L1"  &  "L2".
Connect  a  ground  conductor  to  the  ground  terminal
attached  to  the  Power  Distribution  Block.  See  wiring
diagram 1GMU01 on page 9.

1.9 

FIELD CONNECTION DIAGRAMS

The  following  field  connection  diagrams  should  be
reviewed prior to unit installation and operation.

Section 1

WARNING:  Electrical  shock  hazard.  Inspect  all 
electrical  connections  prior  to  powering  the  unit.

Wiring connections must be made by a qualified electrician
in  accordance  with  all  applicable  codes,  ordinances,  and
good  practice.  FAILURE  TO  FOLLOW  THESE  INSTRUC-
TIONS  COULD  RESULT  IN  SERIOUS  PERSONAL
INJURY, DEATH, AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

WARNING:  Prevent  electrical  shocks.  Disconnect 
the power supply before beginning installation. FAIL-

URE  TO  FOLLOW  THESE  INSTRUCTIONS  COULD
RESULT  IN  SERIOUS  PERSONAL  INJURY,  DEATH,
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

WARNING:  Conduit  grounds  are  not  adequate.  A
separate  ground  wire  must  be  attached  to  the  ground

lug  provided  in  the  enclosure  to  avoid  potential  safety  haz-
ards.  FAILURE  TO  FOLLOW  THESE  INSTRUCTIONS
CAN RESULT IN SERIOUS PERSONAL INJURY, DEATH,
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.
