Wiring Requirements - Option B 

An area of variation from site to site is the 
pump actuation circuitry. In general, it is 
necessary to wire the pump motor(s) 
through a relay so that the current draw 
required by the pump motor(s) does not 
pass through the DPI board (see Figure 
8). The relay(s) can be located just about 
anywhere it is convenient (Electrical Ser-
vice Panel or pedestal, for example) and 
the pump actuation wires can be routed 
directly to the pump or share conduit with 
the rest of the high voltage wires. 

Typically, your conduit and wiring layout 
will look like either "Option A" or "Option B" 
depicted in (Figure 5 & 6). Use them as a 
starting point to map out your actual wiring 
requirements. Keep in mind, these are rec-

ommendations only. You are responsible 
for Electrical Code compliance. It is 
strongly recommended you consult and/or 
contract with a qualified electrician as you 
proceed with this work. 

Note: When setting up electric hose reels, con-
sider routing the hose reel circuit through the NC 
side of the pump relay so that while the pump is 
running, the hose reel is "dead" and thus presents 
no safety hazard.

High voltage for reset, clear, slow & fast valves
Low voltage for telephone wire
High voltage for terminal and dispenser power
High voltage pump control wiring

IMPORTANT NOTES:

Stranded wire only

Each pump motor must be actuated through 30 amp relays.
This applies to 120V and 240V motors.

If you deviate from these requirements, please call QT
Technologies at (303) 444-3590.
