DANGER
WARNING
CAUTION
This controller is not designed for use
around swimming pools, open bodies of
water, hazardous liquids, or where flammable gases exist.
Do not use GFCI input power. This will
cause nuisance faults.
Disconnect and lockout electrical power
before installing or servicing any
electrical equipment.
ELECTROCUTION HAZARD.
CONTROLLER INPUT GROUND
TERMINAL (GND) AND ALL EXPOSED METAL
PIPING, INCLUDING PRESSURE TRANSDUCER
CASE, MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE SERVICE
ENTRANCE GROUND TERMINAL.
All electrical work must be performed
by a qualified technician. Always follow
the National Electrical Code (NEC), or the Canadian
Electrical Code, as well as all local, state and provincial
codes. Code questions should be directed to your local
electrical inspector. Failure to follow electrical codes and
OSHA safety standards may result in personal injury or
equipment damage. Failure to follow manufacturer’s

WARNING
NOTICE: Some installations pull a vacuum on the
transducer when the system is drained. The new controller
is designed to protect against up to 17" Hg. of vacuum
on the transducer. An optional Gauge Guard, order no.
6K210, will protect the transducer from a vacuum and
corrosive or dirty water.
Installation Quick Steps
1. Mount the controller in a vertical position.
2. Wire input power to unit.
3. Wire motor drop cable to unit. All splices done with
heat shrinks.
4. Mount pressure transducer.
5. Wire and ground pressure transducer.
6. User Interface Board:
1. Set overload per motor SFA
2. Select maximum frequency (3Ø only)
3. Dry well – on high
4. Low pressure cut-off – on
5. Pump stop sensitivity - low
7. Adjust tank pre-charge
8. Power on and purge system of air.
9. Adjust set point pressure.
10. Check rotation and performance.
Ratings
Refer to serial number label on enclosure.
Required Materials
• Pump Controller with Transducer and Transducer Wire
• Pump (water end)
(see Speed Selector Switch for 60 Hz or 80 Hz Operation)
• Motor
• Pressure Relief Valve – piped to a drain for safety
• Pressure Gauge – for setting system pressure
• Heat Shrink Kit – one required for each underwater or
underground splice (mandatory)
• Tank Tee or (2) ¼" NPT Female pipe fittings for pressure
sensor and pressure gauge connections
• Pipe and fittings – as necessary per each system
• Disconnect Switch: 230 V, 2 pole, properly sized
(see Controller, Breaker, Generator Sizing Table)
• Copper Wire: Minimum 75ºC rated wire, double
jacketed is recommended but not mandatory
(see Wire Sizing table)
• Tank: diaphragm style tank
(see Tank Sizing Section and Chart)
2: TYPICAL INSTALLATION
Determine where the Controller, Pressure Tank and
Transducer will be located before starting the installation.
Controller
The controller is rated NEMA 3R (Raintight) so it may be
located outdoors. It must be mounted vertically. Locate
the enclosure in a shaded area where the temperature
stays within 14ºF to +122ºF (-10ºC to +50ºC). Since
the controller is designed for outdoor mounting it may be
located at the wellhead.
