INSTALLATION
DISCHARGE PIPING:
Discharge piping should be as
short as possible and sized no smaller than the
pump’s discharge size.
Do not reduce the
discharge pipe size below that which is provided
on the pump.
Both check valves and a shut-off
valve are recommended for each pump. The
check valve is used to prevent backflow into the
pit. If a swing check valve is used, it is
recommended to be installed at a 45
°
agree with
the pivot pin on top. The shut-off valve is used to
manually stop system flow during pump testing
and servicing.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS:
1. POWER CABLE:
The power cable mounted to
the pump must not be modified in any way
except for shortening or splicing to a specific
applications. 1 Phase pumps are provided with
a 3 wire power cord, and 3 Phase pumps are
provided with a 4 wire power cord. Connect
the green wire to ground. Under no
circumstances should the green wire be
connected to the power supply. Every pump
must
be grounded.
DO NOT USE THE POWER
CABLE TO LIFE PUMP
. Do not use an
extension cord for 1 Phase pump(s). Always
wire the pump as indicated on the wiring
diagram inside the control panel
2. OVERLOAD PROTECTION:
On submersible
motors, an in-panel overload protector is
needed to act as an overheating protector and
operates on the combined effect of
temperature and current. This means that the
overload protector will trip out and shut the
pump off if the windings become too hot, or
the load current passing through them
becomes too high. (
IMPORTANT!!!
– The
overload
in
the
panel
should
NOT
automatically reset and start the pump up
after the motor cools.) In the event of an
overload, the source of this condition should
be determined and corrected immediately.
I
WARNING:
Never let the end of the cable
contact water
I
WARNING:
If the cable is extended, do not
immerse the splice in water
I
CAUTION:
Fasten the cable to the discharge
piping with zip tie
I
CAUTION:
Install the power cable so that it will
not overheat. Overheating is typically caused by
coiling the cable and exposing it to direct sunlight.
IMPORTANT!!!
Always rely on a Certified
Electrician for installation
