TERMINAL HOUSING ASSEMBLY:

For aid in

installation the factory has pre-assembles the terminal
housing (27) reducer tee (12) and compression coupling
(13) together. This assembly also includes the
suspension wires (18), electrodes (19) and fill-vent tee
(5).

Remove tape from and straighten the electrode wires.
Remove kinks if necessary. Make sure all wires are
marked. Wire “A” is the longest, wire “B” is the next
longest, etc.

Feed electrodes (19) and wires (18) into the Electrode
Housing, being careful not to tangle or twist wires. Place
terminal housing assembly on top of Electrode Housing
(17) and press down on terminal housing assembly until
pipe is inside of compression coupling (13). Hold the
terminal housing in position and screw the cap on the
compression coupling until the assembly is secured to
the electrode housing (17).

VENT:

Atmospheric venting is required for this unit to

operate. In normal, non-explosive atmospheres, venting
is accomplished via the small pierced hole in the metal
closure installed in the side opening of the fill-vent tee. If
the terminal housing is to be installed in an explosive
atmosphere, pry the metal closure from the tee and
discard. The exposed vent opening should be connected
to uncontaminated air by means of pipe or tubing. The
opening is threaded behind the closure to accommodate
a ¾” pipe fitting.

CAUTION

Never block, plug or close off Vent openings. Inspect
closure for presence of pierced hole and add if missing.
This device will not function without venting.

FILLING FLEXIBLE BULB:

Fill the basin with water to

a level approximately 4” below the cap to which the bulb
is attached. Remove the plug from the top of the fill-vent
tee. Tee is located near the terminal housing. Pour in the
electrolytic solution (a mixture of 3 ½ quarts of distilled
water and one (1) package of sodium bicarbonate.)
Replace the top plug.

WARNING

Before attempting repairs to
installation, disconnect the power supply. Controls
are automatic. This prevents accidental running of
pump motor. Starting motor during repair activities
could damage pump and may cause personal injury.

WIRING:

Remove the cover (1) from the terminal

housing and install conduit from the housing to the
control box. Use 14 AWG wire with 600 volts rated
insulation and 3/64 inch minimum insulation wall
thickness to connect the letter coded wires to the
indicated terminals in the control box. Be sure electric
current is the same as that stamped on the control box
nameplate. Wire per wiring diagram supplied with

control panel. If diagram is lost or misplaced copies may
be obtained from your local Peerless Pump
representative.

NOTE: When the Sealtrode Control Box is remotely
located the distance from the SEALTRODE in the
pumping station to the control box or panel should not
exceed 100 feet.
Two separate metallic conduits are required from the
pumping station to the building housing the control, one
for the SEALTRODE r wires and one for the wires
between the motors and controls.

GENERAL:

The installation of the controller is now

completed and the level within the 1 ½” Electrode
Housing will faithfully duplicate the liquid level in
the basin actuating the control as the liquid rises
and falls and making and breaking contact with the
electrodes.

HOW TO ADJUST ELECTRODE SETTING:

The

electrode elevations have been pre-set at the factory
and no further adjustment should be necessary. Should
it be desirable, however, to readjust the factory settings
refer to page 5 and note the assembly arrangement for
anchoring the wires within the terminal housing. Also
refer to page 5 and note and select the proper letter
coded wire to be adjusted.

To adjust electrode remove the terminal housing cover
(1) and slowly loosen the compression fitting (8) just
enough to be able to slide the selected suspension wire
up or down as required. When adjustment has been
made, re-tighten the compression fitting.

There is sufficient suspension wire coiled inside the
terminal housing to permit each electrode to be lowered
a maximum of one foot, with the exception of the lowest
electrode, which is the pump cut-out electrode with
suspension wire labeled “A”. The low electrode wire
marked “A” is already positioned near the bottom of the
1 ½” Electrode Housing and should not be lowered
further. This also applies to electrode wire mark A1 or
A2.
