8 AutoDrain Pump Usage and Installation Manual
Step 7: Power Supply
a) Mount the power supply box according to your local electric code.
b) Orient the power box so that the MOUNT THIS WAY UP Arrow is pointing upward for proper drainage of the power
supply box and mount according to your local electric code.
c) Ensure power is off to the circuit that is being connected. Never work on line voltage circuits with live lines.
d) Route the pump wire from the pivot location to the power supply. Attach wires to the terminal block according to
the wiring label inside the power supply box.
e) Connect 100-240VAC 1.2A GFCI to the power supply box. When installing the power supply outdoors, or on the
inside of the cover housing, use waterproof fittings .
PUMP WIRING:
f) Route the pump wire from the pivot location to the power supply. Route the pump wire into the power box through
the smaller black fitting on the outside of the box.
g) Attach wires to the terminal connect red pump wire to the terminal marked red, and the black pump wire to the
terminal marked black .
h) Tighten the water tight connection provided.
ELECTRICAL SUPPLY LINE WIRING:
USE COPPER CONDUCTORS ONLY
A Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter (GFCI) is required to be installed on the supply line for the Autodrain Pump Circuit.
Bonding: A Bonding Lug is provided internal to the power box unit. A Ground Wire should be connected to this
grounding terminal in accordance with local standards .
Wiring: A minimum of 14 AWG copper wire should be used to connect the power supply box to the supply line.
The unit accepts voltages between 100-240VAC and draws up to 1.2 amps please supply appropriate wire sizes
for your installation .
g) Connect 100-240VAC 1.2A GFCI to the power supply box. A non-metallic flexible liquid tight conduit tubing is
recommended for installation . When installing the power supply outdoors, or on the inside of the cover housing,
use liquid tight fittings .
h) To connect the power, connect neutral wire to neutral screw terminal and the line voltage to the hot screw terminal
inside of the box (recommended 16"-lb. of torque).
i) Connect ground wire to grounding lug and tighten terminal (recommended 16"-lb. of torque)
j) Tighten all connections to ensure water tightness and replace and screw on cover of the power box (recommended
9"-lb. of torque).
