applicable local codes and National Electric Code. 

ALWAYS SHUT OFF POWER FOR INSTALLATION OR SERVICE. 

Check voltage of pump and supply to determine pump motor FLA and follow applicable 
BEST CONTROL wiring diagram. If pump motor FLA exceeds BEST CONTROL rating, use 
magnetic starter wiring diagram for the applicable voltage ( see pages 12, 13). 

Use Copper Conductors only. 
Use  140 / 167 

˚

F wire. 

Use minimum 13 AWG wire. 
Device must be properly grounded. 

  Always remove pressure switch from surface pump and wire BEST CONTROL 
  directly to pump.
