Preparing for installation
DANGER:
Improperly grounded motors are shock
hazards. Make sure all the equipment is properly grounded.
WARNING:
All wiring and electrical connections must be
performed by a qualifi ed electrician familiar with industrial
motor controls. Installations must be in accordance with
local and national codes.
WARNING:
Disconnect, tag, and lock out the power
source, and then release all pressure from the system
before attempting to install, service, relocate, or perform
any maintenance.
WARNING:
Overheating, short circuiting, and fi re damage
will result from inadequate wiring.
IMPORTANT:
Damage to the motor from improper
electrical voltage or connection will void the warranty.
This product must be grounded. If the unit comes with a factory
installed cord, plug the cord into a properly sized, grounded
outlet. For units that do not have a factory installed cord, install
permanent wiring from the electrical source to the pressure switch
with a ground conductor connected to the grounding screw on the
pressure switch. A properly sized cord with a ground conductor
and plug may also be installed by the user.
Local electrical wiring codes differ from area to area. Source
wiring and the protector must be rated for at least the amperage
and voltage indicated on the motor nameplate, and meet all
electrical codes for this minimum. The minimum wire size should
also meet all electrical codes, and wiring used up to 75 ft. long
must be 10 AWG. Use slow blow fuses type T or a 240-Volt double-
pole circuit breaker (1).
□
Confi rm the voltage of the incoming mains (2,3) using a
voltage meter (4).
□
The voltage meter should read 230 / 240 Volts. Do not
proceed with installation if the voltage meter gives a
different reading.
□
Confi rm the voltage of the incoming mains (5) and ground
wire (6) using a voltage meter (7).
□
The voltage meter should read 120 Volts. Do not proceed
with installation if the voltage meter gives a different
reading.
